“What are you going on about?” I sat back, taking a cigarette and my lighter out of my pocket. I glanced up at her as I lit it and took a drag.
“You’re carrying a fucking pup.”
A King’s Promise

Raihana hadn’t been expecting that. She had paled and asked me not to tell anyone, that it wasn’t the time for such news. I got where the fuck she was coming from and agreed, but it put the decision down in fucking stone. I was not risking her in any fucking way. She was totally out of the picture. Although I knew she wouldn’t just sit back, she had helped enough. Fuck, we needed answers and fast…
“Take care on the way back,” Maria was saying, kissing the little fucker, Tatum. Had to admit that the pup was cute. I went over, taking him from her.
“Of course, Mom, we are going by teleportation,” Raihana replied, kissing Chris before she pulled away.
Tatum looked up at me with his large green eyes, and I narrowed mine. I swore these little devils were embedded with some sort of power or shit. Something told me that if any of these pups asked for something, I’d fucking give it to them. Nah, can’t let that shit happen…
He reached up, giving me a smile. Fuck it, I’d give him whatever he wanted. He rested his head against my shoulder, and I snuck in a quick peck when no one was watching, narrowing my eyes when I saw Kiara smile knowingly. She wasn’t even looking in my direction.
You are so cute, my sexy beast.
I fucking ain’t. I’m just doing what Raf probably would have on his behalf.
You don’t need to explain it to me.I glared at her as she looked as if she was about to burst out laughing.I’ll spank that ass tonight.
Raihana crouched down next to Dante.
“My handsome prince, get better soon. This visit hasn’t been the same without you at your loudest. You know you are the male version of me.”
“I am not,” Dante retorted, wrinkling his nose. “I’m Dante Rossi, there’s no one like me.” The women laughed, and I smirked.
“Exactly what I mean,” Raihana smirked, ruffling his hair and making him glare at her as she turned to Rayhan. “Take care of her.”
“Obviously,” he replied as Raihana hugged Delsanra tightly. They exchanged a quiet word before nodding at each other, and Raihana kissed Delsanra’s hands.
“Well, see you all soon. Come on, Tatum,” Chris said, coming over and taking his pup from me. He went willingly; we exchanged a firm handshake, and then they took their leave, so I decided to get some stuff done.
“I hope things are sorted soon,” was the last thing I heard when I left the room.
I needed to question Enrique, so I made my way upstairs and looked at Milo.
“Has he said or done anything weird?” I asked quietly.
Unknown to Kiara, I’d had a camera installed that morning when the boy was in the bathroom having a shower, taking the chance to get someone from the tech team to sneak in and set that shit up.
“Nothing, Alpha. He just stands there or sits, staring at his right arm,” Milo replied, frowning slightly.
I nodded curtly, knocking on the door before I opened it. Sure enough, he was standing there, emotionlessly staring out the window. He turned upon seeing me, and I sighed inwardly. I did not want to have a fucking prisoner, especially a damn child…
“Hey, kid.”
He didn’t respond, and I left the door open, not wanting to make him worry. I walked over to the bed and took a seat, knowing my large frame was intimidating.
“Can I ask you a few questions?” I asked, deciding on a different approach.
Silence.
“Your father has cursed my son. My nephew’s mate is also suffering because of this curse when she tried to lift it. I’m trying to reach out to him… but he isn’t responding. I won’t be punishing you, nor will I hold it against you if you don’t reply, but if you can, from the bottom of your heart, give us some answers as to why we are being dealt this shit, I’d fucking appreciate it.” He remained silent, but I didn’t miss the small frown on his face.
“I won’t answer. The Lycan King may punish me or kill me… it doesn’t matter anyway.” The last part of his words was so silent I knew he didn’t think I’d hear.
