Chapter 23

Chapter 23Her 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 ,
Navig@te back to th€ roots of thïš substance at n0v^lebookDante 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 hemof 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 hadasked 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 . “
