“I wouldn’t be fucking surprised.”
“From one pack or from all over?”
“I don’t fucking know, especially now that packs are getting on with each other. It isn’t hard for them to keep in touch and form something like this.” Uncle Al stood up.
“That can cause more problems. Do you have a plan?” I asked. He turned, giving me a slight smirk.
“I don’t think this one’s my fight, Rayhan.”
I realised what he meant. I was paired with Delsanra for a reason...
“I’m still right behind you whenever you need me. But I don’t think my hatred or dislike for witches is what will solve this shit,” he continued quietly.
I looked at him sharply. He didn’t need to say it out loud for me to understand. For the betterment of our kind and for abuse like what Delsanra went through to never happen again, we needed peace.
“For that, we need to weed out all the snakes from both species,” I said, standing up as well, and slipped my hands into the back pockets of my jeans.
“Yeah, and who better to do it than the alpha mated to a witch herself?” he asked. “You will have my support, but the reins are yours. Besides, Kiara’s pregnant. This time around, I want to be by her side every fucking step of the way.” I nodded. I got that; after what happened last time and Kiara having to handle it all alone, I didn’t blame him.
“Perfect. I’m not weak, I can deal with it,” I said, “We will start with the rogues. I’ll also get some of our trackers to see if we can track down this group. If you have any information on your end, pass it on.”
“I’ll have a few men assigned to you, too, that won’t be a problem.”
“Great.” I glared at him, knowing I was going to have to face Delsanra about Kiara soon.
“What’s the matter, scared your mate’s going to give you shit?” he mocked. He was still an asshole…
“Actually, I don’t mind…” I said with a cocky smirk. He raised an eyebrow, and although what I was about to pull was a dick move… he kind of deserved it. I walked up to him, smirking blatantly.
“I mean, all her anger and rage are worth it, especially since I’ll be the one to take her V-card. To know that I’ll be the first and last man to ever have a taste of her… nice.” His eyes narrowed.
“Fucker.”
“That was not a dig at Kiara, it was at you,” I added, frowning at him.
If Delsanra had any past relationships willingly, I wouldn’t have minded, but knowing that she was only mine felt pretty damn good. No, I hadn’t saved myself for her; right then, I wished I had. I was still going to be a cocky dickhead and smug over the fact she was only for me.
“Yeah, I got that,” he growled. I smirked. That sure felt good. One win for me.
Delsanra
I was inthe kitchen with Kiara, who wanted to cook for us herself. She was really down to earth, and I enjoyed talking to her. She had returned with a measuring tape, insisting I needed a new wardrobe.
“I don’t really think I need all this,” I said, suddenly realising I didn’t even have any money anymore... or what I had was left at the penthouse. I was literally broke.
“Yes, you do! And it’s a gift from me and Al, it’s the first time you’re visiting,” Kiara stated.
“How old are you, if you don’t mind me asking?” I asked as she started measuring me. She knew how to get her way.
“I’m twenty-one going on twenty-two. I’m only a week older than Rayhan, actually.”
“Oh, nice, and the King?” I asked, the moment from earlier returning to me. A sudden thought came to me, but I squashed it instantly.
“He’s sixteen years older than me,” she replied.
“Wow.” She laughed lightly as she measured my waist, making me lift my hoodie.
“You have the tiniest waist! Oh, I know the perfect clothes that would suit you.
