“Calm down. Why are women so emotional…? Jeesh… it’s fine… I need to behave. Mom and Dad keep telling me to anyway… I need to realise she is Rayhan’s.” Despite his words, he rolled his eyes, making me chuckle.
“Yes, but you know… even if you aren’t going to pursue her, you can still be her friend?” I suggested,wiggling my eyebrows. “No one said you have to avoid her like the plague.” Seriously, Rayhan needed a smack. He nodded, smirking slightly.
“That’s true.”
“See?” I stood up crossing my arms. “Let’s go inside.” He nodded before pausing.
“Don’t tell anyone about this conversation. Or that I admitted that she’s…” he warned me, trailing off as he glared at me. I frowned despite the amusement I was feeling inside.
“I’m not a tattle tale. That’s your Dad’s talent or your Uncle Liam’s,” I shot back.
“Hmm, maybe, but either way, if you don’t tell anyone, then I will tell you about your baby.” I narrowed my eyes.
“Oh, you little brat. You know the gender, don’t you?”
“Maybe,” he replied haughtily. I frowned as he smirked arrogantly. “So it’s your choice.”
“Fine, I won’t tell anyone about our conversation…”
“Good.”
He gave me a once-over before walking back into the room. I smiled. Our little alpha prince was back, and so was my best friend. Now, I just needed Chris back, so we could fuck until we dropped.I swear, the moment I see my man, I’m not letting him rest.My smile vanished and I frowned.
I had felt the pain through the bond. I knew he was injured, but he was alive. I was scared of losing him, but I wouldn’t admit that.I’ll just scold him for being careless.My annoying, sexy man…
I almost bumped into Uncle El as I entered the room.
“I’m going to go see Kiara,” he said. I smiled and nodded.
“I’m sure she’s okay. I’ll come with you.”
“Me too!” Raven added, then hesitated. “Will you be okay?” She asked Delsanra.
“Of course. Besides, I have Dante here to help if I need him,” Delsanra said with a wink at the boy, who was acting so awkwardly that he was making it obvious that something was up. He shrugged, pretending to be unbothered, only making Delsanra more curious.
“I’m here, too,” Claire said politely as she had just entered.
“Perfect then,” I said as the three of us left the room.
“Can I come to see Mama, too?” Kataleya asked. Uncle El nodded and held his hand out to her.
“Of course you can. Come on.”

It was over… the aftermath was horrific, but we were done.
The Fuego de Ceniza wolves instantly seemed to change in colour, taking on hues of different colours. They were mostly of warm colours, but there were changes in them, the biggest being their eye colours and demeanours. From brutal killing machines, they suddenly became wary and alert as they backed away. Their eyes were full of emotions. Our own were tending to the injured and dead, passing around pants and shirts for those who needed them.
“Shift,” I commanded coldly, tightening the drawstring on my baggy shorts that were a fucking mess with blood and dirt. They did, and I was fucking surprised that half were still on their feet.
Give them clothes,I commanded through the link.
“Return home. You’re free from the curse of the Djinn. He no longer has any power over your Alpha’s family,” I said coldly. They exchanged looks before one of them stepped forward.
“We apologise for everything... please don’t punish us.”
“I already said you can go. Liam, bring the pup,” I commanded.
