King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

How was it that it had all changed when she cinto my life ? | knew I'd be happy as long a she lived ... but |

also knew she needed more than just herself to live ... Her parents , her brother ,... For Kiara , we had to win

this .

| unleashed my power , opening my link so that | could connect to all Alphas . Alphas , who would then relay it to

their packs . | closed my eyes, taking a deep breath as | focused , reaching far out into the woods that

surrounded us .

Honing in on the smallest animal or sound , getting past the hundreds of heartbeats of my wolves . We were

spread out, disguised and hidden , then there were backup wolves far away in case we needed it .

There it was , the silent movement of something dark , | couldn't hear any heartbeats or footsteps and my lips

curled in disgust . Magic . * Those in the northeast ... fire blindly in one go . She’s there .... | linked the Alpha

and my pack members who were holding that position . | wasn’t sure if she'd have a deflecting spell , but we

would give it our all .

Silence followed before | heard the sharp wind whip through the trees and the shouts . They had obviously done

sdamage . | clenched my jaw , feeling one ... four ... Five men lose their lives .

They were the first line of defence ... | was the second . ” We fight for the win , for our loved ones , our packs and

to fucking destroy that bitch here and now ! Move !

"I ran ahead , a blur as many shifted . Bloodthirsty growls filled the air and a purple glow encircled us . | cast a

glance behindat Kiara , who was running just a few feet behind. With Elijah , Liam and Rafael flanking us

| signalled everyone to stop when I saw it, the darkness that blanketed the forest , pushing against my own aura

. Her cold , undisguised , sinister laugh filled the air .

” Foolish ... To think that wolves can defeat... It's good to see you again, son . ” KIARA My heart was

thudding as | saw the glowing magic blanket the area .

My eyes blazed and | let my own aura out, | was not going to let her work whatever magic she was trying to .

Grandma Amelia had givensstrange tips , but unquestioningly | was willing to listen to them . Our

conversation echoed in my mind .

‘ My only worry is that my power depletes fast ... Now don’t be stupid , like your useless father ! | like to think

you're your mother’s daughter ! Draw your power from your source ... What source ? ... Selene’s of course ...

” The Moon . | didn’t know if it would work , but | intended to find out . The moon was high u p in the sky , even if

it was the night where witches were at their strongest , the moon was still dazzling brightly .

| heard Endora hiss in annoyance as she turned her gaze to, her magic pushing against mine . ” You won't

hold out for long ... ” She chuckled . Throwing her arms up , she began chanting .

We moved fast, lunging at her, but her barriers held us off . | couldn't see i f she was alone or not ; just thick

darkness that even my power couldn’t penetrate . | heard shouts and shrieks , feeling several more wolves die .

Each one sent a painful , sharp tug through. We were already losing men . * Witches ! * Someone from our

pack shouted . ” There are about four other witches . ” Dad said coldly .

” And so much more ... ” Alejandro growled . It tooka second to realise what he meant when several ...

things ‘ burst from the darkness .

There was no way to describe them . They weren't wolves , nor were they Wendigoes , but they looked to be a

mix between them both . What terrifiedmost was the intelligence within their eyes .

” Look , daughter of Selene ... Look at what | can accomplish ! ” Endora shrieked . | didn’t have tto reply ,

springing forward and engaging the first .

‘ Alpha Marcel said to let you know that sof the Wendigo’s are wolves ‘ that were thought dead ! * Someone

told us through the link . We were all inter relaying , making sure everyone was in on stuff . Obviously , it made

sense why she didn’t make the rogues band together as a pack .

Marcel would know if someone was dead or not . Sure , she could use magic , but it would have been harder for

her . * Leave the Wendigo’s to the rest . Let's focus on Endora .

‘ Alejandro’s words cthrough the link as | deflected an attack , blasting the thing back . Unlike the usual

mindless , blood - thirsty beasts , this one had the mind and fighting skills of a trained wolf ..

‘Got it ! I shouted , cutting one of their heads off . SCARLETT It was a mess .

These Wendigo’s were nothing like the others .

They were practically stronger wolves ... Looking at them standing on two feet ... their speed and their agility , |

felt sick to say they remindedof ‘ Lycans . Yes , they weren't exactly like Alejandro , but the disturbing

similarities worried.

| could feel the impact of their hits , feel the bond break when we lost someone . * Damon ! Careful ! | do not

want Monica coming for! * | growled , watching him take on two beasts . * | can handle myself , Aunty Red .

‘ His confident smile cas he ripped through a Wendigo . He's a big boy Scarlett . * Aaron’s voice c. |

shook my head at the father and son . | was about to shift when | felt unease settling in . | sensed her before |

heard or smelt her .

A witch ... ” Ah ... take out the leader , the rest will fall A whispery voice c.

The next thing | knew , | couldn’t see anything as heavy darkness surrounded m ‘ Scarlett ! * Aarons panicked

voice c. ‘ Be careful ! “| shouted , only to feel a block . | couldn't hear anyone through the link anymore .

‘ Aaron !? Aaron ! * Nothing, | felt something rush atand barely jumped out of the way . We were in some

whirling section of darkness and | could feel the barrier that was stopping anyone from entering .

It was then that | finally saw her, her long red hair swirling around her, her gold eyes glowing , and the smile of

pure malice on her face . ” One to one is fair, right ? ” She asked . | saw the runes that covered her body

wondering what they meant . ” Do you really think killing us is the right thing to do ? ” | asked coldly .

” Who knows ? ” She brushed off . She whispered a spell and | lunged at her , she blastedback , flames

wrapping around, burning my skin . I bit my lip , drawing blood as | dared not let anyone feel my pain .

Not my pack, nor Elijah . | was stronger than this . | wouldn’t scream . No matter how agonising this was , my

body was shrieking in agony as | tried to wait to heal myself . | forced myself to shift and lunged at her .

She tried to blastback but she hadn’t expectedto be able to shift already . It seemed she didn’t realise |

was a fast healer . | slammed her to the ground , ready to rip her head off , when | was torn off her and thrown

against the swirling barrier .

I hissed in pain , feeling a s if my entire back had been shaved by jagged sandpaper . The smell of my blood

filled my nose as | stumbled to my feet and lurched at the witch . She sent another blast of fire , knocking me

back . How the hell was | supposed to attack her when | couldn't even get close to her ?

| got to my feet , my grey fur matted with blood and the strong smell of burnt flesh . My eyes were blazing silver

as | looked straight into her glowing ones .

The rage and determination ripped throughas | pounced ...

INDIGO My heart tore in fear when | saw Scarlett being wrapped in that hurricane of darkness . No ! Not Scarlett !

The strong urge to protect her overcme . | was not going t o lose another loved one !

| was rushing towards the darkness , when a strong hand gripped my arm and yankedback . ” What are you

doing ? ” Marcel growled . | glared at him .

I didn’t know him enough to judge , but right now , | didn’t need a Rossi tellingwhat to do ! ” Don’t tell me

what | can and cannot do ! ” | growled back . ” Scarlett needs! “

He let go ofto rip a Wendigo apart , slicing through it with one of his long twin blades . He was actually an

impressive swordsman , something you wouldn't see often in wolves ,

but right now it was helping against the Wendigo’s long dangerous claws that were like twelve -inch knives . ”

You can’t go . ” He muttered and | knew instantly someone had told him to watch out for.

| turned , about to run off when he grabbedby the back of my shirt . ” What the actual fuck ?! ” | shrieked ,

glancing at Dad , who was fighting one of the Wendigos .

Elijah hadn't been happy with him joining , but he had refused to back off , saying he would not stand by when

his children were fighting . He also refused to leave Scarlett alone ... but now he was tired ...

| looked around assessing the monsters , so far there were at least thirty ... | don’t know how she had an army

that even Marcel hadn't known of , but she had | glared at Marcel .

"If you had kept an eye on your rogues , this wouldnt have happened ! ” | spat . He frowned at, ” Really ?

Seriously ? We're going to blthrow now ?

Not all these Wendigos were rogues ... And besides , rogues mean lone wolves . | was not accountable for all of

them ! ” He growled back . ” I'll go to Scarlett ! ” | snapped , ” | don’t need a Rossi to tellwhat to do !

“ He frowned but let go of. | ran towards the blazing whirlpool , only for strong arms to liftup as we went

barrelling through . A burning pain screamed throughas the heat of that whirling force - field melted through

my skin and flesh .

| screamed in agony , knowing those arms were protectingfrom the worst o f it . Suddenly it was gone . |

gasped for breath , my body crying in pain . Realising we had made it in . ” Fuck you all !

" The red - headed woman hissed , | saw Scarlett shifting back to human form , her entire body covered in burns

. | could see the blood and melted skin . | looked at the man who was carrying, and | saw Marcel’s eyes

blazing as he setdown , lunging at the witch .

” Oh, look what we have here , a Rossi . ” She scoffed , blasting him back . He ducked , shifting and sprang at

her , this tdespite her ball of flhe knocked her to the ground . | took the chance and rushed to Scarlett .

" Hey , you ok ?! ” ” Why are you here ?! ” She growled at, her anger and worry clear in her eyes . ” Because

... "I said ... Because you're my sister ... | couldn't say it, I had always pretended she didn’t mean all that much

to me, butitwasn't true.

” Because | wanted to ! ” | shot back . 1 grabbed one of Marcel’s discarded swords and ran towards the witch . A

burst of flames slammedback . | rolled away , getting to my feet only to see Scarlett shifting once again ,

mostly healed .

Thank the goddess for her abilities ! As one , we ran at the witch whilst she chanted a spell , Marcel managed to

rip one of her arms off . | saw flames wrap around him as he growled , and was thrown back , the witch fell to her

knees . Her runes now glowing .

” How dare he ..... How dare you all ! ” She shrieked . We blocked and ducked her attacks , but the place was

tight ... ” Scarlett ...

” I murmured . ‘ I heal well . I'm ending this now ! * She said confidently through the link . My heart thumped .

Everything felt like slow motion from there ...

The fleeting happiness to fight alongside my sister ... A sister | always admired but never dared to admit . My

true queen ... The look of determination on Scarlett’s face ...

The all too well - known fact that she was reckless ... The way she went forward , ignoring the witches ‘ chanting

. No ... don’t risk it Scar ..

The words never formed on my lips as | watched Scarlett continue forward , extremely fast , even when a ball of

magic flames was thrown at her , illuminating the darkness in flames .

| saw Scarlett knock the witch to the ground , watching the blast rip her off and throw her to the ground . It was

happening so fast ... but no ... it can’t | lunged forward just as the witch moved her hand back .

Magic swirled around it , aiming for Scarlett’s chest as she lay there battered in her human form . Her body was

shaking as she tried to get u P. Not my sister ...

I heard a faint shout from Marcel ...

The clang of metal hitting the floor as the weapon slipped from my hand ... | couldn’t think of anything but the

fact | needed to protect her, to repay the debt to the woman who had always protectedsince | was a child ...

The one who shieldedfrom everything , My Queen , my Goddess , my protector ... My sister .
