Chapter 23

Her Dark Hair KIARA It was later in the evening and Alejandro . had told me about the Alpha of the Shadow Wolves Pack coming down in three days time . I had been about to tell him something earlier , but he had cut me off … and now I couldn’t even remember what it was . What was it ?

Something told me it had been important I shook my head to clear my mind as I looked at the grocery list that Claire had prepared . Maria , Rayhan , Del and the kids would be coming tomorrow , including Raihana and Chris , so it was going to be a full house . I was looking forward to it , knowing the merriment of more of our family together would help everyone . ” Perfect , I think you have everything covered . ”

I commented glancing over at Claire , even after a long day her white hair was in perfect position , all neatly tucked up into a bun . ” The desserts for when the Alpha of the Shadow Wolves Pack comes are still undecided Luna . ” 4 ” Hmm , let’s go for ” Victoria sponge , Crème Brulé and of course Trifle .

” I turned as Azura walked into the room , a few stray leaves stuck in her hair . ” Oh , yummy . ” I smiled .

” Can we get a chocolate gateau too ? ” She added , looking up at me as she strode over to us , hands locked behind her back . I chuckled , picking out the dried leaves from her hair . ” Of course , we can .

Madam Azura Rayne , now tell me , why does my little sister have leaves in her hair ? ” ” Oh I was climbing on the roof and I fell into the tree . ” 2 Concern flooded me , as much as I knew these children were tough as cookies , it still worried me . ” You need to be careful , Azura . ”

” Don’t worry , Dad and Alejandro were nearby , and Dad caught me ! ” I smiled in amusement , removing the last of the leaves . ” Well , since you are here , is there anything you fancy for tomorrow’s dinner ? ” She tilted her head .. ” Let’s make sure Dante’s and Kat’s favourites are on the menu . ” She said with a nod . ”

And what of yours ? ” I asked . ” Well , me and Sky are ok without , we just want them to get better soon … ” She furrowed her brow and I stroked her head . ” You are such a sweetie , Zuzu . ” I whispered , hugging her tightly . ” Oh goddess , please don’t call me that ! I’m not a baby anymore . ” She groaned . ”

You still call Liam , Wiyam . ” I smiled , tugging her cheek . ” I do but it’s cute . ” ” She shrugged . ” Just like you . ” I replied with an amused smile..

I wondered who she got her hair from , neither Mom nor Dad had dark hair … odd . I shook my head at the random thought , turning back to the list and adding a few more items to it . ” I’ll add the desserts and their favourites down , Luna ” Claire reassured me . I nodded before motioning to Azura to follow me back to the lounge . 11 ” It’s nice to see my two girls hanging . Dad said . I smiled at him as Azura ran over and hugged him . He kissed her forehead , giving her a small smirk . ” Of course , we hang out often , Daddy , you just never pay attention to it , you’re busy looking at Mama .

” She stated , sitting down next to him . ” Oh really ? I can multitask pretty well . Mind games won’t work on me . ” 31 ” Who’s playing mind games ? ” She asked innocently . Dad motioned me over and I smiled , walking over and taking the seat on his other side . He wrapped his arm around me , Kissing my forehead gently . I leant my head on his shoulder , a strong wave of nostalgia washing over me . I glanced around the room , Dante was lying down , his head on Mom’s lap , fast asleep . Kat was watching TV with Sky but she looked lost in thought as she leaned against Alejandro , who was sitting on the floor next to them . His eyes met mine and I smiled at him wondering what he was thinking . ‘ You look fucking beautiful , Amore Mio. He said through the link . – ” Thanks . ‘ I replied , crossing my legs smoothly and giving him a good view of my thigh .

The ache between my legs had faded earlier and I was ready for another round all over again . I was satisfied when his gaze fell on my legs . I hid my smirk , leaning my head on Dad’s shoulder whilst giving my man a good view . ‘ Keep teasing and I’m fucking taking you out of here right fucking now . ‘ His eyes met mine and my core knotted in pleasure .

‘ It sounds temptinge ” What time is Maria getting here tomorrow ? ” Mom asked , bringing us both out of our conversation . ” Afternoon . ” Alejandro replied , his arms around Kataleya , who fiddled with the hem of her dress . ” How is Delsanra doing ? ” Dad asked . ” Not as good as Dante . ” Alejandro replied quietly , making my heart thunder . ” What ? ” ” I saw her earlier on video call . ” He said , his eyes met mine and I knew he could feel my guilt . Goddess … ”

Don’t blame yourself . ” Mom said quietly . ” Things will get fixed . ” Dad added , confidently glancing at Azura , who was listening with enrapt attention . She gave us a cute smile , and I chuckled . ” Goddess you are such a little minx . ” I teased . ” You know I was thinking in the kitchen , who does Zuzu look like ? Her hair is so dark compared to the rest of us , ” it’s just like how grandma’s used to be . Dad tensed and looked at me , confusion and shock clear in his eyes .

I raised my eyebrows realising the tension that had fallen on the room . I glanced at Mom who looked slightly pale . What did I say ? Azura tilted her head . ” That’s true … Liam’s hair is like Mama’s real hair , Kiara’s is like Daddy’s , then whose is mi like ? ” ‘ Amore Mio … ” I glanced at Alejandro , who was frowning with concern .

” Like grandma Jessica’s . ” Mom said with a smile . ” Like look at Skyla’s eyes . They aren’t like her Mom or Dad’s . ” I nodded . ” Yeah , her eyes are a lot greener than replied , glancing at Mom . 11 ours . Azura nodded in agreement before she got up and hurried over to Skyla . ” bet’s watch something different . ”

‘ Amore Mio , that question was a bit fucking odd , don’t you think ? ‘ Alejandro’s voice came through the link . ‘ What do you mean ? ” It wasn’t odd , I was wondering where Azura got her dark hair from … He looked at me but didn’t say anything more . Strange . I glanced at Mom and Dad who were clearly conversing through the mind link Did I say something wrong ? I was about to ask Alejandro when Claire mind linked me . ‘ Luna , dinner is ready , I will feed Dante whilst the rest of you can eat at the table ‘ ‘ Ok , thank you , Claire . ‘ ” Dinners ready . ” I said out loud . ” Are you ok , Kiara ? ” Dad asked when we stood up . I smiled warmly and nodded . 11 ” Of course .

He gave a small nod , yet I didn’t miss the concern in his eyes … Night had fallen and I had just gotten the kids to bed , Alejandro had gone out to deal with some stuff and had returned when Kataleya had asked for her cloth back for bedtime , she had begun to get very worked up without it . Alejandro had given it despite feeling quite concerned about her getting so attached to it . ” She’s only a child , baby . ”

I reasoned , as I let my hair down , the bathroom door was open . ” I know she is , but her being a little too fucking attached to another pup is not healthy . ” 11 I chuckled . ” Are you worried she’s crushing on him ? ” I teased , squeezing some toothpaste onto the brush and began brushing my teeth . ” Kind of . ”

He almost growled making me giggle . ” There’s nothing wrong with it if she is . ” I replied , finishing off and adjusting the strap to my burgundy silk nightdress . I stepped out of the bathroom , my gaze instantly falling to Alejandro’s ass . , He had just stripped and was holding a pair of sweatpants , wearing nothing but his black boxers . Goddess this man was utterly fine … I walked over to him , wrapping my arms around his from behind , my hand cupping his bulge and making my core throb . ” ” Fuck , Amore … ” He placed his hand over mine and when I felt him throb , I moved my hand away , resting it on his chiselled abdomen . ” Hmm … You need to stop being so worried about Kataleya’s concern with this little boy , remember he helped her escape and gave her food . You know how loving she is . ” I murmured , kissing his upper back . He turned his head , looking down at me . ” Maybe . What was that about Azura’s hair colour earlier ? ” He asked . I raised an eyebrow .

” You’re asking me ? Even Mom and Dad got weird about it . ” I replied amused . He unhooked my arms from around him and turned around , cupping my face . ” Amore Mio … You know she looks just like Indigo . Why would you even ask that ? 11 Aunty ? ” That’s true , she does now that you mention it , I was just wondering because she doesn’t look like Mom or Dad . ” His heart was racing and I could feel a sliver of worry through the bond . ” Kiara … why … I mean , who is Azura’s biological mother ? ” It was as if he had just slapped me . ” What does that even mean ? Of course Mom is . ” Was he insinuating that Dad had an affair or something ? Confusion flitted through me , and my head felt heavy and with it , my irritation grew ” What are you trying to say ? ”

” Kiara , you’re worrying me … Indigo is Azura’s biological mother . ” ” What ? Alejandro , I remember Mom pregnant , I remember her birth … ” It was hazy … I placed a hand to my head , confusion and fear settling into me . ” The child was transferred into Scarlett when Indigo was killed , remember ? ” I looked up at him , I knew he was telling the truth thanks to my ability of being able to sense if a person is lying or not , but ” No. I don’t remember . “
