One Of Concern

ALEJANDRO

I raised an eyebrow . What did that even mean ? He sighed , running his hand through his hair and looking at the trees that surrounded us . Only the rustle of leaves or the odd animal could be heard . ” He was trying to take her . I still remember the look in his eyes … He didn’t even look like he was fully there . He didn’t care that I was hacking at him , he was just trying to take her … I brushed it off . There’s been several events but that day … outside the cinema …. the Wendigo didn’t seem to have gone in for the kill . We both know that and we both know how fast they are . Kiara couldn’t have outrun them if they wanted to kill her .

Then at the hospital , of all places , it chose to go there . There are more pups and wolves in the packhouse . ” The fucker was smart . His line of thought matched my own . I stayed silent , letting him speak ” I don’t know why , there’s nothing different about Kiara . but just in case my assumption is correct then Kiara may be the target . ” I scoffed dryly . ” So , you’re sending her to me because you think you can protect your pack like this ? ” ” No – because I know Kiara will go to some other pack , one way or another . She’s Scarlett’s daughter and fucking stubborn . ” He growled . I smirked . ” Seems like Daddy’s little girl isn’t under his control . ” ” She isn’t a child anymore , I know that . S o that was my reason … You don’t seem shocked . ” He now looked at me sharply .

I stayed silent for a moment , her odd aura hadn’t been picked up by him , so there was no point in me telling him that . ” So , you want me to protect her yet you’re sending her right to me , when we both know I’m a fucking monster ? ” I said coldly , avoiding his statement . He frowned at me . ” You’re dangerous , I know that . But you also spend your life protecting the werewolf race . ” He said . ” Only because I’m bored . I enjoy the chase and kill . ” I said arrogantly . He smirked . ” Tell yourself whatever

you want to keep u p your bad boy image . You care , admit it o r not . ” He said cockily . This is why I hated him . Dickhead .

He acted like he fucking knew me . ” You do remember , she fucking pisses me off and I don’t mind ripping her head from her body ? ” He growled venomously at me and I smirked . One point for me . ” I know that . I want to ask you , not Alpha t o Alpha … but as a father to the ultimate protector of the werewolf race , will you please protect her ? ” He asked quietly , the arrogance gone . It took me by surprise , as I saw the unmasked worry he had in his eyes . Could a person really change that fucking much for those he loved ? Was it even possible ? Elijah was one of the cockiest men I knew and here he was asking me to protect his girl .

” Kiara has been through so much but she’s resilient , reckless and selfless . She would stand in the line of danger regardless of her own life . I only want you to give me your word that you won’t hurt her . If she pisses you off , ship her back to me . I’ll be having a word with her too . ” ” Ok , I was definitely fucking taken by surprise now . I didn’t expect him , Elijah , t o ever submit like this . Maybe I should ask him to get on his knees and ask me ? I smirked and he narrowed his eyes . ” Don’t piss me off . ” He warned me , as if knowing what was going through my mind . Oh well , maybe next time . ” Fine . I’ll try not to kill her . ” I said , taking a drag of my cigarette . ” Give me your word as Alpha . ” Elijah pushed . The fucker was irritating . ” I’m the fucking king , I don’t take orders . ” I replied coldly . ” I won’t hurt her , she’ll return to you on the blood moon in one piece , ” There I gave him my word ; didn’t mean I wouldn’t emotionally mess with her .

Or sexually … He was start , but it was clear e didn’t realise that there was more between us . Was it our age difference ? Well , his loss . ” Thank you . ” His words held sincerity and for a split second , I felt the strength o f his emotions as our eyes met – but it was only for a split a second . I didn’t do fucking sentimental shit . The next day I awoke to the smell of colate . I definitely wasn’t in heaven , cause I sure as fuck was going to hell . But whatever that was , it smelled good … I got dressed in a pair of black jeans , a black T – shirt and a leather jacket whilst I gathered my things .ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

I had made it clear I didn’t want anyone doing stuff for me . Back at my pack there were a few omegas who did stuff for me , but I’d rather not have random people touching my stuff . I put my bags on the bed and left my room . ere leaving straight after breakfast . We I followed my nose to the kitchen to find two trays of freshly baked brownies on the counter . I raised an eyebrow , looking around . No one was here … I guess I could take a piece , right ? Obviously I can , who the fuck cares if it’s rude or not ? No one will know it’s me . I took out a piece of gooey goodness . Why the fuck were they cut so small ? One piece wouldn’t be enough …. I ate it and took another . These were fucking good . They tasted just like the ones I had the day 1 arrived . Did Kiara make these ? Maybe I should get her to bake for me when we get back … Damn , she was not my fucking chef but I wouldn’t mind making her that … and a lot more . Four … Five pieces later , I still wasn’t done and I took a sixth .

In my defence , they were cut so fucking small . Stingy woman . ” Oh my goddess ! ” I turned around , popping the seventh piece in my mouth just in time to see Kiara standing there , dressed in a wrap around black dress that accentuated all her curves . Her hair was up in a messy yet fucking sexy bun and she wore boots . On her face was a look of utter dismay . ” Those were to give to someone ! ” She said , near tears as she hurried over , snatching the brownie trays from in front of me . ” Chill the fuck out , they’re just brownies . ” I replied coldly . ” My brownies ! One tray was for Grandad ; he’s leaving today too , and the other was for Dad . Now there isn’t enough ! ” Then came the tears . She was fucking crying .

She didn’t cry when it came to facing a Wendigo but she was going to cry over brownies ? ” Kiara ?! ” And here comes Daddy dearest . I resisted rolling my eyes . ” What the fuck did you do ? ” Elijah growled , pulling his daughter into his arms . Was it normal to feel fucking jealous of him hugging his own daughter ? She wasn’t mine …. Just those words irritated me . I refused to answer but I didn’t need t o because Kiara looked up at her father . ” I made brownies for you and Grandad , and he ate some . ” She said tearfully .

Elijah’s eyes widened in surprise and the hint of a smirk threatened to cross his lips . ” Dad ! Are you laughing at me ?! ” ” No of course not . ” He said hugging her again . ” I’m sure you’re just upset about leaving . I mean , you could change your mind . ” He sounded hopeful . Kiara’s growl gave him his answer . I grabbed two more pieces of brownies sneakily , although I know Elijah saw me , and left the kitchen as Kiara protested – she wanted to go no matter what . We were finally ready to leave and get on the road . Although I travelled in Lycan form often enough , I still had transport ready when needed . I now sat in my two seat sports car waiting for Kiara . Although she wanted to stay with her friend , her Dad didn’t agree . I suggested that she was better off with me anyway , in case something did attack . I know the need I had for her to be around me was only growing . I hoped that once I was back at my own pack that I could restore some normality .

Yeah , there was a lot of shit going on and things I needed to take care of . I had enjoyed this break , although I’d not admit that . My eyes flashed red as I watched her hug Damon . Not missing the way his hands stroked her back or the way he buried his head in her neck . I slammed my hand on the horn , beeping loudly , making Kiara jump back before she finally met her mother quickly and then walked over to the car with her Dad . ” I’ll see you in a few weeks angel . Behave alright . ” Elijah said . She nodded as they hugged , before she got in . He looked at me and held his hand out . A peace offering and confirmation of a promise , I knew that much . I took his hand as my eyes met his . ” Take care of her . ” I said nothing before turning away and letting go of his hand .

Trusting me with his daughter was something huge for Elijah and I wasn’t too fucking stupid to see that , but did he really trust me ? The question was the same one I’d always been tempted to ask Rafael .

Ever since the day I had killed our parents , I always felt he was a little uneasy around me . He probably didn’t even trust me around his pups , I’m sure h e didn’t when they were little anyway . Sensing it from him and his mate , I distanced myself from them . Once a monster’s always a monster after all … right ? Moonlight Muse Author # Thank you for everyone who is reading.
