Page 89 of Her Destined Alpha
Rayhan slipped his hand around my waist and pulled me down onto the sofa next to him as the King sat down on the sofa opposite, right in the centre, and his Luna sat next to him. They fitted together so perfectly.
That was what a werewolf couple looked like. Then there was Rayhan, even more handsome than his uncle... and then there was me…
“I didn’t know you were stopping by. There’s more to this shit, isn’t there?” the King asked Rayhan.
“Yeah, actually. First of all, Kiara, could you heal Del? She may have a few injuries,” he replied. Alejandro tilted his head as he took out a cancer stick and lit it.
“How about we start with what the fuck she is. She sure isn’t fucking human cause no human could look me in the eye and not fear me.” That cold, dangerous smile of his fixed in place. I tensed, my heart thudding. Rayhan was calmer, or he looked it anyway.
“Regardless of what she is, she is my mate,” he growled, his eyes flashing as he looked at his uncle. The older man gave him a cold look.
“No one’s denying that, but I don’t like being lied to. So, what the fuck is she?”
“Guys, calm down… Alejandro, we can’t push them to tell us if they don’t want to, and they didn’t really lie,” Kiara said quietly. Something told me he would do nothing to me.
“Whatever she-”
“My name is Delsanra Diana Silver. I am a witch,” I said quietly.
Kiara gasped, her eyes widening, but the King’s expression didn’t change. His cold smirk simply grew.
“Well, now that’s fucking interesting. Oh, I sure want to see Maria’s reaction to this.” His mocking tone and the dark amusement in his eyes made me worry.
Maria? Why did I feel like she was not going to like me? I sensed Rayhan tense, and I looked at him sharply.
“I’ll handle Mom, but I don’t want you to mention it to anyone,” he said firmly.
“I don’t give a shit. In fact, it might be good to appease the tension between the fucking species, even if I hate their kind.” The King’s words stung a little, but I didn’t reply.
“Oh yeah? Well, remember you owe this one a lot. She’s the one who-” Rayhan was cut off by Kiara.
“The one who gave us the answers back then. Delsanra! Oh, thank the Goddess she’s alive!” She stood up and hurried over to me. To my surprise, she sat next to me, pulling me in for a hug. I patted her back awkwardly, not sure why she felt so relieved and happy. She moved back, her eyes glistening with tears.
“Thank you… I’m so glad you survived. I owe you – no, we owe you a lot. You told us the time and place, if you hadn’t, an entire pack could have been massacred. Endora could have succeeded, and we could have lost so much more than we did,” she said. The pain in her eyes told me they had still lost a lot.
The King scoffed, taking a drag on his cigarette.
“You two always have the same view on this shit,” he said coldly. A flash of irritation was clear in his eyes. “So, now you wanting those files makes sense…”
“Regardless of the fact she was a witch, she was abused under Endora and Marcel’s watch,” Rayhan said coldly.
“Come, let them talk. We can heal you and get something to drink,” Kiara offered quietly.
“No, I’m okay with hearing what the Lycan King has to say,” I stated firmly. I wanted to know if there was any truth in the admiration I had for him or was it just a fallacy? His smirk returned as he blew out a string of smoke.
“She’s got spunk. I don’t have an issue with her as a witch. And I already told you if you need any help, I’m here. We will get this issue with Marcel’s pack members sorted. I think this was something I should have done back then, but I gave them a chance.”
“It isn’t your fault,” Kiara said quietly, looking at her mate.
Her hand was still on my arm, and it was then that I realised that I was feeling better. The aches and pains in my back, my knee… things that had felt much better after the healer had healed me, suddenly felt perfect. A subtle cooling sensation was rushing through me. I looked at her, realising the power this woman held was great, yet she was not imposing or arrogant.
I think I like her.
“I did overlook it though, even when it did cross my mind… at some point. But I’ll fix this.”
“Delsanra said some of them may have been under spells, and those who felt guilt when back in their right minds are to be forgiven...” Rayhan trailed off.
“But?” His uncle knew he wasn’t finished.
