The Night

KIARA

They were both hurting , Alejandro and Aunty Indy . | knew Alejandro was afraid to lose... N o matter how

much he denied it or wouldn't speak of it . Auntie’s words about him getting killed and leavinghit him hard . |

had seen it when he stormed out .

Even if he raised his walls , | could sense a person's emotions . His fear ... His love ... His concern .... It broke my

heart seeing my king so vulnerable . He was always the heartless one , or portrayed himself to be , but now that

he had finally let himself love ... we were facing a witch .

One who was powerful and fuelled by dark magic . Strong enough to be a risk to us all ... | was scared too ,

scared to lose my happily ever after before it had even begun .... | entered my old bedroom after we had spent

the last hour with Aunty Indy .

Only t o see Alejandro standing there with a towel wrapped around his waist , water trickling down his body and

getting dangerously low ... Goddess , | wouldn't mind being those droplets right now ... I licked my lips , my

throat feeling dry . My core clenched at how smoking hot he looked .

He glanced at me, strands of his black hair falling in front of his eyes , another one of the things that made me

dripping wet ... ” Are you just going to fucking stand there , Amore ? Or will you shut the door ? ” | blinked ,

then shut the door behind me, locking it before walking over to him .

” You showered already ? ” | ran my fingers through his wet strands of hair ... ” | smelt of burnt onions . ” He

replied with a deep frown , pullingagainst him . My heart pounded as | rested my head against his chest .

Desire rushed through, but more than that, | needed him ... his embrace ... his

closeness ... his comfort ...... ” Hey ... What the fuck happened ? ” He asked , threading his hand into my hair as

he tugged my head up to look at him .

| shook my head , making a kissy face , asking for a kiss . He smirked , bending down and kissingsoftly . *

Nothing happened . ” | said through the link . My wolf was restless , and so was I. Girl calm down , | said to her,

sighing . ” Doesn't fucking seem like it .

” "just... I'm scared too . ” | said , fighting back the tears that | didn’t even know were building up . ” Nothing's

going to happen , ok ? ” He whispered , his deep voice thick and husky as he sat down on the bed and pulled me

into his lap .

” When | think of the future .... | feel sick ..... like something bad is going to happen . ” | whispered . The

overwhelming emotions that hitevery t| tried to focus on the upcoming day overcme once again . H

e didn’t speak for a moment , holdingtight .

” It doesn’t matter ... Whatever happens .... we'll get through it ... | promise you , nothing will happen to you . Or

to our pup . He said quietly , running his fingers ” through my hair as he kissed the top of m head . His voice held

complete y confidence . ” Promisenothing will happen to you .

"| whispered , my heart thudding . | needed that promise , | needed him to tell. His heart was racing , and it

terrified. ” | promise that I'll try my best to cout of this unscathed . Endora is my mother, and it's my

fucking job to end this shit ...

but I will give it my all to cout of this shit alive . ” His words squeezed at my heart painfully . Crushing me

completely . He didn’t promisethat he’ll be ok ... he only promised he’d try ... | couldn't speak as he simply

held, his thundering heart felt like my lifeline as | curled against his chest , letting the tears slip down my

cheeks . A King and a Queen .

The titles were pretty but never had I realised how heavy the weight of those titles were . It was our duty to

protect our people ... no matter the cost . Neither of spoke . He only bent down , kissing my wet

cheek .

| wasn’t sure when he made us lie down or when he slipped m y shoes off , but the sheer weight of knowing that

anything could happen in a matter of days weighs heavily on... all I could do was clutch onto the man that |

loved so dearly ... All Hallows Eve .

The night had finally arrived . Restlessness , tension and fear rushed through the wolves . Every man and woman

displayed it but one - Our king . My Love , My mate . No matter how vulnerable he felt, that was a side that only

| felt and experienced when we were alone .

Today , as he stood at the front of the flanks of wolves , ready to lead us to battle ... there was only confidence ,

power and calmness exuding from him . ” Everyone knows the plan . Remember your positions and remember

the aim . Don’t break ranks , don’t panic , and look t o your Alphas for guidance . ” Alejandro spoke as he stood

before everyone in nothing but a baggy pair of pants .

Everyone listened , their faces sombre and serious . | could sense their emotions ; exhilaration , fear , worry ,

determination , confidence and pride ... mixed with so much more ...

Marcel had managed to have his men united under him and , unsurprising to most of us but Marcel himself , his

people were ready to join his pack and to be recognised as a pack in their own right . The Rossi brothers were

truly an exception .

Each one was born to lead , an Alpha .. ” Be prepared for the unexpected and for those who believe Selene’s

watching out for us ... then pray to her and ask for fucking strength , because we sure as hell are going to need it

" He gave a cold smile looking out at the crowds , | could see him under the light but | knew once we were

fighting , I'm going to have to use my abilities to see ... | knew what to do , and I'll be making sure to keep a

protective shield aroundfor my baby .

Thanks to Grandma Amelia , Liam and myself , we had been able to pinpoint the exact location where the witch

was buried .

Liam was very intuitive , he always had been , but he was just calmer and quieter than | was . Working together ,

we had found the most likely spot and had set up straps . 2.39 am ... that was the precise timing that we

would need to deliver the finishing blow .

Before she channelled the power in this very area to resurrect the witches . There had been doubt raised several

times about Delsanra’s words . | think my agreeing with Rayhan irked Alejandro a little too , but everyone knew

that it was our best shot .

It was a risk that we had to take , and Rayhan had been adamant that this was it . Once Alejandro had finished

talking everyone got ready , smeeting and talking to their mates or families , before those who were not

going to fight joined the rest in the safe houses .

The weather was cold and wet . It had rained on and off through the day and now it was just getting colder . |

wore leather pants , a polo - neck top with my necklace hidden inside , and a jacket over .

My hair was pulled into a tight bun on top of my head , and | carried the staff that Alejandro had gotten for. |

looked at the ton my phone . 1.06 am ... Liam cover to, ” Hey . ” | said , He smiled at, and

wrapped his arms aroundtightly , kissing the top of my head .

” It’s going to be ok, alright ? ” | looked up at him and nodded , my eyes stinging . That dreaded feeling was

wrapped aroundtightly and no matter what I did , | couldn't get rid of it , that deep , dark , foreboding feeling

that was clawing atgetting stronger with every passing minute . ” Cheer up Kia ...

He's going to be ok . ” He comforted. Twins ... | guess we still had that connection . ” I'm terrified . ” |

mouthed to him . | wasn’t scared of battle , nor the enemy ,

but | was scared for my king , who was going to lead this attack . Unlike stories of kings and princes who rode

into battle with others to protect him , Alejandro would be the one protecting the others .

He had a full formation in place to protect.... but for himself ... nothing . Liam huggedtighter, his

soothing scent calming. ” I'm not far from him . I'll try my best to watch his back . ” He said , very quietly ,

so no one heard . | nodded , ” Thank you . ” | whispered .

He kissed my forehead and | took a deep breath , pulling myself together . | had to be strong . ” Ok , let's get to

this . ” I said , spinning my staff . | looked over at Aunty Indy . Mom had tried to talk her out of fighting , but she

refused , insisting she needed to do this .

Dad had initiated her into the Blood Moon Pack , but it hadn't helped . She was still quiet and | could see the pain

in her eyes .

Luckily , Mom had persuaded her to fight i In the back ranks . We didn’t know what Endora’s army would consist

of either . Marcel had said she had other witches , perhaps ... we weren't sure ... But if it was witches , then it

was going to be extremely hard .

Doctor Callum and Grandma Amelia had prepared spotions and herbs to help against witches , and we had

weapons that were made by Alejandro’s pack to fight against beasts like Manangals and Wendigos . Weapons

that were going to be used tonight regardless of the enemy .

Alejandro cover to me, a small sexy smirk on his face . ” Cwith. ” He said , taking my hand and

tuggingalong . ” Where are we going ? ” | asked curiously . ” Patience , Amore Mio. We're almost there . ” He

stopped after a short while and scoopedup bridal style .

My heart thudded , and | wrapped my arms around his neck . | didn’t want this moment to end . Ever ...

continued o He kissed my lips softly as he n his way . We were out of the lighted area and | frowned , sensing we

were getting deeper into the trees . ” Alejandro ... I'm curious .. ” ” Like | said , patience . ” He didn’t give away

more , and soon | saw a glow up ahead .

| looked around curiously until we reached the small opening , and realised we were close to Mom and Dad's

house .

By the river , where | used to sit and read my favourite books . Under the very tree that | loved . A smile graced

my face as | looked at the fairy lights that surrounded the tree , and o n the ground was a circle of lanterns and

red petals .

Petals that remindedof the rose he had givenon the night of our marking ceremony , the rose that | had

placed between the pages of a heavy book t o preserve forever . ” What is this .... ” ” ” Just something ... before

shit goes down ...

” He gavethat half - smile of his as he gently placedon my feet in the middle of the circle of lights .

"” You know , it looks like you're going to ... ” | trailed off , my heart pounding as he went down on one knee . |

gasped , feeling a surge of emotions rush through. | gazed into his dark glittering eyes as he looked at me

with so much love that my heart was pounding .

” Not the best of fucking times ... but ... | want you to know ... how much you mean t o. We've fallen in love

... We've mated and we've marked one another . But ... No matter how much I fucking do, | don’t think | can

ever show or express what you mean to...

So | thought , why not do what humans do too ... ? ” He took a deep breath and | could hear his racing heart , m

y own feeling like it was going to burst . Will you marry, Amore ... ? | know you're young and there's no

rush ... one day ... when you

” Yes ! Goddess ! I'd marry you tonight if it was an option ! ” | whispered shakily , flinging my arms around his

neck and knocking him to the ground . He let out a breathless chuckle , wrapping his arms aroundas he

caressed my back , kissing my neck and sending a shiver of pleasure through. ” I love you ...

” | looked down at him , meaning it from the bottom of my heart . ” Love you too , Amore ... ” He replied

huskily , before we kissed passionately . Sparks ignited between us , and for a moment, everything was

forgotten ...

We broke apart and he flipped open the box , to reveal a gorgeous , sparkly diamond ring as we sat up slowly . ”

| know it’s not the most ideal ... but you can wear it around your neck if you want ... ” | love it ...

” | said softly , and I truly did . Many werewolves got married , but most didn’t exchange rings as we would

destroy it when we shifted , but | loved it ... My heart was roaring as he slipped it onto my finger, glittering

beautifully under those fairy lights .

” Thank you ... HE He looked into my eyes , smiling softly , and | felt my emotions surfacing once more , but this

tthose tears were a mix of happiness and sadness . ” Tomorrow morning ... we're going to feel better , once

all this shits over .

" He said softly , brushing his nose against my cheek . | nodded , I believed that . | would believe that no matter

what . A distant howl was heard , and we looked u p sharply , my heart racing . The signal ... She was here .

Endora had arrived .
