Her Destined Alpha
Chapter 42

DELSANRA

The Night Walkers Pack, home to the Lycan king himself … My heart was thudding in fear as I made sure my spell to disguise that I was a witch was absolute. I had heard about this man since I was younger, even before I was sold.

The whispers of a beast that had risen. Then when Endora took me, the amount of hatred the rogues felt towards him …. Wherever I went, the shadow of the Lycan king lingered. The werewolves who hurt me feared him.

But over time, the fear I had felt towards him, changed. He was the one to kill Endora, the one to protect the weak … I had somehow begun to admire the legend, despite hating his kind. I had always put him in a separate category than werewolves, like me he was different from his kind …

There had been a moment or two where I wondered if I found him, would he have granted me justice? I doubted it, I was a witch after all … but he was born of a hybrid witch/werewolf mother himself.

The thought had always lingered, but I never had faith. As we walked up the steps to his mansion, I was aware of the powerful werewolves that flanked every entrance and gate as we passed by …

The temptation to lower my guise and see what happens if they see that I’m a witch was strong, but I didn’t risk it. Rayhan held my waist possessively, and when the doors opened to reveal a gorgeous woman with sandy brown hair and large green-blue eyes, I couldn’t stop but stare back at her as she looked at me with excitement and curiosity.

She was pregnant, but I wasn’t sure how far along she was. She smiled at me and stepped forward. ” Welcome to our home, I’m Kiara, Alejandro’s mate. ” She said, holding her hand out to me. I took it slowly, giving her a small smile. ” Del … ” I trailed off … I couldn’t say Delsanra … Rayhan’s hold on me tightened, as he smiled at Kiara.

” It’s been a while, Kia . ”. ” It has, you look even bigger now . ” She replied with a smile, as Rayhan leaned over and gave her a one-armed hug, his hand never leaving my wa!st. ” Come on in.

” She stepped aside and we both entered. It was at that moment that I felt a dark surge of power. My eyes snapped up and I looked at the man who had just stepped into the hallway. He looked about an inch or two taller than Rayhan, and bulkier than him too.

His skin was slightly more tanned, his hair short on the sides, with the top, sleeked back and an earring dangled from his left ear. He was covered with tattoos, they were all around his neck. His black button–down with sleeves rolled up showed the ones that fully covered his arms. His dark eyes were cunning and sharp, and the power that he emanated was weighing down on me.

But even then, I could see the slight familial resemblance to Rayhan. I frowned deeply, the urge to bring my own powers forth growing under the power of the Lycan king. I didn’t need anyone to introduce him; it was clear who the man before me was.

” Rayhan. ” His voice was deep as his gaze left mine and flicked towards Rayhan. ” Uncle Al. ” Rayhan replied with a small smirk. He finally let go of me to step forward and meet the man with a hug. ” So, is this little thing your mate?

” My frown deepened. I was not little, I just wasn’t as overgrown as he was. Kiara laughed as she wrapped her arm around her mate, I wondered how she stayed with a man whose very presence suffocated me.

” She doesn’t seem to be scared of you, baby. ” She murmured as she leaned up. He met her halfway, k!ssing her l!ps as Rayhan pulled me into his arms. ” You got that right, she’s a feisty one. ” He added, k!ssing the side of my head. ” I am not. ” I stated quietly, glaring up at him.

The king smirked. ” Well, I hope she gives you hell. ” I looked at him, surprised at that comment. ” Be nice. ” Kiara scolded lightly. ” If she’s the one giving me hell, I’ll take it happily.

” Rayhan remarked, bending down and k!ssing my cheek. The king scoffed as he turned and led the way back down the hall. We followed and entered a living room, with black sofas, a huge tv, and a blazing fire.

My eyes instantly fell on one of the three sofas, a small child around three years old was sleeping, a blanket covering him. He was utterly gorgeous; with juicy cheeks and a head full of tumbling curls that were styled similar to the Lycan kings, with short back and sides.

A dribble of saliva was coming out of his mouth from one corner .. ” Damn, he’s grown. ” Rayhan said, going over and crouching down by the boy, gently tussling his hair.

” He sure has, and just like you – he’s a f*cker. ” The king said coldly. I blinked, staring at the man, I was assuming the child was his son … ” Alejandro … ” Kiara said.

” He’s just giving him a run for his money. Both father and son get along and argue all the time. Take a seat, Del . ” Well, the next generation of the Rossi’s are the best.

” Rayhan replied cockily. I looked around. The place was so luxurious. Did all werewolves really have this much money? ” The sofa won’t f*cking eat you up and we don’t bite.

” The king remarked, a cold smirk crossing his face at his own morbid joke. Yeah right, you don’t bite … You could tear my poor body up like I was made out of straw … Werewolves had sharp teeth … I frowned back at him.

I was not little, but his white teeth seemed a bit scary right now … Rayhan slipped his hand around my waist and pulled me down onto the sofa next to him as the king sat down on the sofa opposite, right in the center, and his Luna sat next to him. They fitted together so perfectly. Now that was what a werewolf couple looked like.

Then there was Rayhan, even more, handsome than his uncle … And then there was me … ” I didn’t know you were stopping by. There’s more to this shit, isn’t there? ” The king asked Rayhan. ” Yeah actually. First of all, Kiara, could you heal Del ? She may have a few injuries. He replied. Alejandro tilted his head, as he took out a cancer stick and lit it.

” How about we start with what the f*ck she is … She sure isn’t f*cking human, ’cause no human could look me in the eye and not fear me. ” That cold, dangerous smile of his fixed in place. I tensed, my heart thudding.

Rayhan was calmer, or he looked it anyway. ” Regardless of what she is, she is my mate. ” He growled, his eyes flashing as he looked at his uncle. The older man gave him a cold look.

” No one’s denying that, but I don’t like being lied to. So what the f*ck is she? ” ” Guys … Calm down … Alejandro, we can’t push them to tell us if they don’t want to and they didn’t really lie. ” She said quietly.

Something told me he would do nothing to me. ” Whatever she- ” ” My name is Delsanra Diana Silver, I am a witch. ” I said quietly. Kiara gasped, her eyes widening, but the king’s expression didn’t change. His cold smirk simply growing.

” Well, now that’s f*cking interesting. Oh, I sure want to see Maria’s reaction to this. ” His mocking tone and the dark amusement in his eyes made me worry. Maria? Why did I feel like she was not going to like me? I sensed Rayhan tense and I looked at him sharply.

” I’ll handle Mom, but I don’t want you to mention it to anyone. ” He said firmly ” I don’t give a sh*t . In fact, it might be good to appease the tension between the f*cking species, even if I hate their kind … ” The king’s words stung a little, but I didn’t reply. ” Oh yeah? Well, remember you owe this one a lot. She’s the one who- ” Rayhan was cut off by Kiara.

” The one who gave us the answers back then. Delsanra! Oh, thank the goddess she’s alive! ” She stood up and hurried over to me. To my surprise, she sat next to me, pulling me in for a hug. I patted her back awkwardly, not sure why she felt so relieved and happy … She moved back, her eyes glistening with tears…

” Thank you … I’m so glad you survived … I owe you- no WE owe you a lot. You told us the time and place, if you hadn’t, an entire pack could have been massacred. Endora could have succeeded and we could have lost so much more than we did.

” She said, the pain in her eyes told me they still lost a lot. The king scoffed, taking a drag on his cigarette. ” You two always have the same view on this shit. ” He said coldly. A flash of irritation was clear in his eyes.

” So now, you wanting those files makes sense … “Regardless of the fact she was a witch, she was abused under Endora and Marcel’s watch. ” Rayhan said coldly. ” Come, let them talk. We can heal you and get something to drink. ” Kiara said quietly.

” No, I’m ok with hearing what the Lycan King has to say. ” I stated firmly. I wanted to know if there was any truth in the admiration I had for him, or was it just a fallacy? His smirk returned as he blew out a string of smoke. ” She’s got spunk. I don’t have an issue with her as a witch. And I already told you, if you need any help, I’m here. We get this issue with Marcel’s pack members sorted.

I think this was something I should have done back then, but I gave them a chance. ” ” It isn’t your fault. ” Kiara said, quietly looking at her mate. Her hand was still on my arm and it was then that I realized that I was feeling better.

The aches and pains in my back, my knee … Things that had felt much better after the healer had healed me, now felt perfect. A subtle cooling sensation was rushing through me. I looked at her, realizing the power this woman held was great, yet she was not imposing or arrogant.

I think I like her. ” I did overlook it though, even when it did cross my mind … at some point. But I’ll fix this. ” ” Delsanra said some of them may have been under spells, and those who felt guilt when back in their right minds are to be forgiven … ” Rayhan trailed off. ” But? ” His uncle said, knowing he wasn’t finished.

Rayhan didn’t answer, their eyes met, and the king nodded slightly, taking another drag of his cigarette. I wondered what that was about … ” So Delsanrá, how is Rayhan treating you? ” Kiara asked. ” Good, ” I replied, thinking she was rather young to be mated to the Alpha king, who was definitely in his thirties, although he looked good.

Werewolves did age slower. ” Just good? ” Kiara teased. I blushed lightly, last night rushing through my head and I glanced at Rayhan. Big mistake. His eyes were fixed on me, and the intensity of his gaze made my core throb.

” Hmm . I’ll give it a few months before I answer that. ” I remarked airily, trying to brush it off. Rayhan chuckled as Kiara smiled with amusement, whilst the king c**ked a brow. ” Perfect match for a f**ker like you. ” He said, glancing at Rayhan. ” Isn’t she? ” Rayhan agreed, running his fingers through my hair proudly. What was I? A little pet he was proud of?

He leaned in and k!ssed my l!ps softly, sending streams of pleasure through me. I pulled away gently, but he was a lot bigger than me, and I knew if he didn’t allow me o do so, I’d be trapped.

He gave me a smirk, k!ssing my neck before sitting back. Kiara stood up and I realised I was fully healed. ” You weren’t in good condition; it seems some of your bones had been broken repeatedly. ” She said quietly. ” I got used to the pain.

” I replied. Just then, the little boy started stirring, and Kiara walked over to him. ” Aww Dante, look who’s here! ” She cooed, lifting the boy into her lap. A deep frown sat on the boy’s sleepy face, and I realized his eyes were b***d–red when he looked up. My heart thudded as he looked at me curiously, tilting his head. ” She pretty. ” He said, pointing at me as he looked at his mother.

I smiled at the comment, sensing Rayhan’s surprise. ” Oh? She is, isn’t she? ” Kiara smirked in amusement as Dante slid off his mother’s lap and looked at Rayhan. ” Hey Dante, missed me? ” Rayhan asked his cousin.

” No. ” Came the firm reply. ” You f*cker. I gasped, surprised that such a young child was swearing ” I’m sorry, he picked up the bad habit from his father, who has no filter. ” Kiara said apologetically, giving her mate a look. ” You like me just the way I am, no f*cking filter needed. ” He shot back, giving her a smirk that I knew would melt many women.

Sure enough, she gave him a small smile as she walked over to him. ” I’m a f*cker, huh? ” Rayhan said, motioning for the boy to come over. ” Where my cocklate ? ” He asked him. Aww, that was sooo cute! ” I didn’t bring any chocolate, but I brought my mate to see you. ” He lifted the boy into his lap, his curious eyes fixed on me.

” Hey Dante, my name’s Delsanra, it starts with a D too. ” I said, reaching over and pushing a strand of his hair off his face. A small smile crossed his face before he pouted, hiding it. ” I like your hair .

” He reached over, tugging on a strand. ” Isn’t he a bit too much? ” Rayhan remarked, as I held my arms out to him. ” You mean very upfront. Can you blame him? He’s Alejandro’s son. ” Kiara said, amused.

The boy seemed to think it over, I could tell he wanted to come but was just pretending he wasn’t interested. Much to my amusement, he soon accepted my outstretched arms and let me lift him into my lap. His small smile was back as he looked up at me. ” So how old are you? ” I asked him.

” I five. ” He replied with a nod. ” He isn’t even three. ” Rayhan remarked. To my surprise, I could sense the sliver of jealousy in his voice. Was he really getting jealous of a child? ” I a big boy. ” Dante shot back.

” Oh yeah? You’re still in diapers. ” Rayhan said with a pout that reminded me a lot of the one that was on the little one’s face moments earlier. ” I isn’t ! Mama! ” Dante shouted. ” He isn’t, he’s getting toilet trained. ” Kiara added, giggling ..

” Yes, you are a big boy. Ignore Rayhan. ” I said, giving him a hug. His frown vanished and he looked at me, leaning forward and planting a quick wet k!ss straight on my l!ps, before giving me the most adorable smile ever. Leaving me surprised, yet I couldn’t stop the smile that crossed my l!ps. ” I am a big boy. ” He agreed with a confident nod.

Rayhan raised an eyebrow. ” That’s my kitten, kid. ” He said, despite the amusement in his voice, I didn’t miss the pout that still lingered on his l!ps as he ruffled his baby cousin’s hair. ” Well … Karma sure is a bi*tch.

” The king snickered. I glanced at him in confusion, but the tension that settled in the room for a split second made my curiosity spark. I glanced at Rayhan, not missing the slight change in his demeanor.

The king looked unphased, but I didn’t miss the tiniest of frowns on Kiara’s face. What was that about? ” Ok, so I’ll go make sure there’s a room ready for the both of you. You’re staying the night, right? ” Kiara asked.

I frowned slightly but didn’t question it as Rayhan said we would stay the night as we had things to handle. I didn’t say anything, but I was going to ask Rayhan later what that was about.

I turned my attention back to the gorgeous little boy who I knew was going to grow up to be a heartbreaker. Noticing the cold glare Rayhan had shot at his uncle. Oh, something was surely up …
