Page 53 of Her Destined Alpha
Dang…
“Ouch. That hurt,” I whispered, placing a hand on my chest.
“Good,” she whispered back mockingly. “Now you know where the bathroom is, right? I’ll let Dad know you’re here.” She didn’t wait for a reply before she walked off, and I wouldn’t lie, I almost whistled at the sight of that booty.
Nice ass,I said through the link. I frowned when I felt nothing,Weird…Raihana?
Nothing… I didn’t even feel a block. It was just as if there was nothing there.
I headed downstairsafter a quick stop at the bathroom and saw her on her phone.
“Finally,” she remarked, tossing her hair. The whiff of coconut and magnolia filled my nose. Why was her behaviour actually amusing me?
I was perving on Rayhan’s baby sister, although she was anything but a baby…Okay, Lola would so kill me right now…
“Chris!” Alpha Rafael called, a smile on his face as he stepped out of one of the several doors that led to the entrance hall. He was probably the nicest alpha I had ever come across, and I had met a lot.
“Alpha.”
“Drop the Alpha, son! Do I need to keep telling you?” he asked, meeting me with a hug.
He had really been there for me since my parents died. Although I didn’t let on, it had hit me hard. I had two younger siblings, so it was kind of tough. One was mated and gone, but hey, I was dealing, and the Alpha was amazing.
“Come on into the lounge,” he said, “Raihana, would you mind getting us some drinks? Your mom and some of the staff have gone shopping.” The Luna wasn’t home? Interesting, probably why he just decided to call me here.
“Okay,” she said, narrowing her eyes as she gave me a look, which I returned with one of my own.
The Alpha chuckled at our exchange. She walked off, and I had to fight myself not to follow the sway of her hips with my eyes.
“Is all cool?” I asked, dropping onto one of the luxury sofas. The place was very regal, decorated with marble, gold filigree patterns, grand chandeliers and furniture pieces that cost thousands per item.
“Actually, not entirely,” he admitted, his smile fading. Okay, shit, not what I was expecting.If this is about Rayhan, I swear he better make it up to me when he gets home.“What I say stays between the two of us.” He sighed, clasping his hands in front of him. “I had originally wanted Rayhan to have returned by now, but he is stubborn, and, well… I trust you, Chris. I am a very good judge of character, and I feel like you are someone I can trust.”
“Thanks,” I said with a smirk when the door opened and in walked the sexy little doll. She strutted over, placing the tray down. If I didn’t look away, she would have given me a full-on view of her breasts. I made sure my gaze was on the Alpha and not his daughter’s tits.
“Close the door, Raihana,” Alpha Rafael said. She did so and then sat next to her father, who wrapped his arms around her protectively. I didn’t miss the worry in his eyes when he kissed the top of her head. What thehell was going on?
“Tell me, Chris, how much do you know about witches?” I tensed, my face paling. Fuck he knows. My heart was thundering as I looked at him, a look of sympathy and understanding on his face.
“A little,” I answered.
Shit, Rayhan, you dipshit. I swear if I’m put in a tight position…He seemed to be waiting for an answer, so I picked up one of the glasses of juice and sat back.
“Do you want me to tell you what I know?” Raihana smirked.
“Duh.”
I frowned at her, trying not to pay attention to the way she was twirling a strand of her hair around her finger.
“Witches are elemental. Although they can use spells of other elements, they are in tune with their own elements a lot more and can use it with ease. Some witches have more than one element, and this can combine into a new element, such as water and air, you get ice. Only females are witches; their male counterparts are stronger than humans and are referred to as wardens. They can perform some spells if given the correct tools. Apart from that, they hate our kind… and we don’t get on…” What else did he want me to say?
“And do you know how witch bloodlines work?” Rafael asked as Raihana passed him a glass of juice.
“Usually through their female born?” I asked. I had no idea where this was going.
“Yes, usually, the eldest daughter of the witch would be the strongest and inherit some of their mother’s powers. So, when the previous generation passes on, the first female of the next generation’s powers will increase,” Alpha Rafael explained while drinking his juice. I didn’t know that, but why the hell were we discussing it? And how did he know so much?
“Umm, no offence, but is there a point for me to know all this?” I asked. He looked at me, his Alpha aura now rolling off him.
