” Oh , he is adorable . ” Maria said as she carried Dante , planting a kiss on his forehead . I smiled . 11 ” Thank you . ” Although they had all seen him before and we had been here for the last five hours , everyone was still gushing over him . Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
The men had gone out for a few hours and had returned in time for dinner . We were all in the luxurious lounge of the Rossi mansion . Only when I came here did I realise how wealthy the Rossi’s were ; even Alejandro’s luxury mansion did not exude the same level of elegance .
Leo was sitting on one of the large sofas enjoying himself playing on Rayhan’s Xbox , and Raihana had told him he could take it back home too , stating that Rayhan no longer needed it . Speaking of Rayhan , h e had video – called earlier and I had managed to say hi to Liam too . Alejandro hadn’t really talked to Rayhan .
Even when Rayhan had found out he was awake , he had kind of ignored him , but today they’d had a conversation and I was glad it broke some of the ice between them . Well , from Alejandro’s side anyway . Looking at Leo ,
I could tell that he looked healthier than he had back in the caverns . He had even started school and apparently was doing well . He had first been home – schooled for three months , then sent to school . I hoped he got the life he deserved .
His brown hair was cut . stylishly and his eyes seemed to hold more life than before . ” Yeah , enjoy having him . He’s all Raf’s tonight . ” Alejandro remarked . Maria simply gave a small , polite smile . ”
We will enjoy having him .
” She said quietly . I hoped she realised Alejandro was not as bad or as scary as she thought .
She had at least told him she was glad he had woken up . I had also never asked Alejandro exactly what went down between him and Selene , although he had in passing mentioned meeting her .
It seemed like it wasn’t something he wanted to discuss and I respected that . Besides , if he was hiding something , I’d know . This was just something he needed time with .
” You shouldn’t have made so many dishes . ” I said , rubbing my tummy . I had indeed eaten far too much . ” It’s the first time you’re coming to ours a s my sister – in – law . ” Maria stated with a small smile . ” That’s not fair .
You’re already classing them as married , when your dad didn’t even let me have you until we actually got married . ” Rafael grumbled . ” Gross Dad ! ” Raihana exclaimed , cringing . I smiled in amusement .
” Well , that was my dad’s choice , and they are marked , so it’s the same thing . ” Maria retorted , kissing her mate’s cheek . Rafael actually looked gutted . ” Do you know how hard it was … ? ” ” We really don’t want to know the fuck
remarked . about what was hard and not . ” Alejandro Marcel smirked . ” No idea how you were born first … ” He remarked as Rafael faked a hurt look . ” I agree with that one . ” Alejandro agreed . ” Leave him alone .
” I scolded . Poor Rafael looked like a puppy who had been kept from his special treat . Well , in a way , he had … I suppressed a giggle at that . ” How did you two meet anyway ?
” Marcel asked . I knew he had been rather reluctant to come , but Rafael had been very proactive i n making a bond with him . He was the one who got Leo set up in school as well . ” Mating ball . ” Rafael said , looking at Maria with dreamy eyes .
” Dad ! You’re getting gross ! ” Raihana said . ” I don’t get why kids think it’s fucking fine to call the parents cringy when they are disgusting little fuckers themselves . ” Alejandro remarked , taking a few gulps from his can of fizzy .
” Actually Uncle , I’m a good girl . ” She replied defensively . ” I don’t believe it . ” Alejandro said stubbornly . ” Well , believe what you want . Do you awful ? ” know that all the men in this pack are ” ” Men ? Raihana you’re sixteen , you shouldn’t even be thinking of the men . ” Rafael replied , narrowing his eyes . Well …
I sure thought of Alejandro despite him being sixteen years older … ” Dad , you should be worried about Rayhan , not me . ” She complained , coming and sitting next to Alejandro . ” Right Uncle ? Boys are worse , right ?
” ” Yeah , agreed . You got that right , he’s definitely a boy , not a man . ” He mocked a s Raihana snickered at her brother’s expense , high fiving her uncle . The poor guy wasn’t even here to defend himself . a I shook my head , smiling slightly .
It was clear Raihana and Alejandro had a bond that was getting stronger . I liked that , unknowingly , he was letting people in .
Alejandro put his arm around me and kissed me softly . ‘ What’s on your mind ? ‘ ‘ You . ‘ I replied , kissing him back . My heart was pounding as sparks rushed through me , and I had to bite back the moan that threatened to escape .
‘ What’s wrong , Amore Mio ? ‘ His voice came through the link as he pulled me close , his hand raking down my back . Oh , goddess , I couldn’t wait till tonight … ‘ Nothing at all . ‘ I replied , sounding
breathless .
He smirked against my lips , moving back a s he licked his lips slowly . All I wanted was that tongue all over me … Even though we could barely keep our hands off each other , Dante didn’t make it easy for us to simply relax and let loose .
It was a short while later , Leo and Raihana had left , leaving just the adults in the room . Rafael had a game of cards on the table and the three brothers were playing as Maria had placed drinks for them . Both of us were not drinking as we sat beside our mates and I fed Dante under a shawl . Despite me wanting to spend the night with Alejandro , I was going to miss Dante .
It would be the first night he’d be away from me , although Maria had assured me i t would be ok . ” This is something Alejandro and I wanted to give you . ” Rafael said , leaning under the table and taking out a file .
I looked up as he passed Marcel the file . The man frowned as he took it and flipped it open . ” I can’t accept that . ” He said , placing the file down and sliding it back towards Rafael . ” Seriously , don’t be fucking stubborn . ” Alejandro growled .
” He’s right , you are our brother and this belongs to you too . ” ” It doesn’t . Your dad … didn’t even know about me , so I don’t have a right to ” anything that belonged to him . ”
” He thought you were dead . ” Alejandro said , frowning deeply . I knew he would always feel guilty for killing his father , something that had been spurred and brought on by Endora .
A woman who had ripped this family apart , but now watching them all together bonding over a game of cards , trying to give their brother his rights . It made my heart warm at the picture , I wish I could take a picture of this moment , three brothers simply enjoying each other’s company … you to ” And he would never have allowed : be taken away from us .
” Rafael said , softly . ” Marcel , you’re our brother , this is yours and Leo’s rights . Don’t take what he deserves away from him . ” Marcel grunted in disapproval . ” I don’t get why you are even i ying . Do you realise we’ll never be recognised as a pack ?
In fact , I’m confused as to why you didn’t try to get me to join your pack , but then again … someone needs to watch the rogues . ” You know that shit ain’t the reason . Alejandro replied , frowning . ” If it’s to keep those fuckers in line ,
I I have many ways . You’re already their leader , a leader i n your own fucking right ; we Rossi’s are Alphas and having our own packs makes perfect sense . Now shut the fuck up and accept that shit , or Raf you can just put it on Leo’s name .
” Maria blinked at every time he swore but I simply smiled . Past his crude language , he didn’t say anything wrong . Moreover ,
I was proud of him for being selfless and being such a perfect king . I watched him play another round , the way his angle jaw looked so good …
His trimmed beard , those kissable lips … His earring glinting i n his ear … He had bulked out again . Since waking up , he was back to training and was really busy with pack business and financial work , but he was still always there for us . I often woke up at night and he’d be making Dante settle down . He was really hands – on , although he said he wouldn’t change any diapers .
I mean , h e did try , until Dante almost pissed on him and he had sprung across the room saying he did it on purpose . I really wanted to say it was coincidental , but he always seemed to feel sick on Alejandro too … But the scene had been funny ,
someone who didn’t run from wolfsbane , poisons , enemies or danger , but he had run away from a baby and a stream of wee … So , I excused him from diaper duties , but I knew one thing for sure : These two were really going to be something together .
” Did you hear about the witch who was killed up north ? ” Rafael asked suddenly .
The mood suddenly became dark and Maria tensed . Her brother had died in the battle against Endora , leaving his pack without an Alpha . Her father had taken over again until her nephew returned from Alpha training in a few months .
The battle was dubbed The Battle of Hecate’s Betrayal . I found it extreme , considering we couldn’t blame the goddess of witchcraft for the misdeeds of a few of her kind , but it was what people were saying and there wasn’t much we could do to stop them . ” That ain’t going to make shit any better . ” Alejandro remarked .
I felt uncertain , wondering what the future held .
The feeling of something more approaching flashed through me for a split second , but then it was gone . ” It won’t , but witches deserve it . ” Maria said quietly . I could feel her pain . I had lost many too , s o I understood .
” Rafael said , wrapping his arms ” Mari … around her . ” 1 She shook her head , ” This was their own fault . If the coven had kept their kind in check , this wouldn’t have happened . We reap what we sow , Karma will surely play its part and deal vengeance upon them . ” She stood up and came over ,
her eyes softening as she looked at Dante , who I had just finished feeding and had fallen asleep . ” Shall I take him ? ” I nodded , kissing his juicy cheeks a few times . I knew he’d be safe , but it was still a little hard to part with him . I gave him one final cuddle and Alejandro raised an eyebrow . ‘ He’ll be fine . ‘ He said through the link , and I nodded . I knew he would .
” Well , I’ll let you boys carry on for a bit . ” I said , standing up . I wanted to dress up a little for him tonight . ‘ See you soon … ‘ Alejandro said . I could sense the carnal lust that was radiating from him
and through the bond . I could feel his eyes on me as I left the room . ‘ Do not come , until I tell you to . ‘ I replied . ‘ That’s my line .
‘ His husky reply came . Well , bring it on , because tonight … I was going to let him ravage me as he wished ….. I looked in the mirror , satisfied with what I was wearing . I had chosen a tiny lacy black lingerie set , with stockings and garters . I had covered my body in shimmer . Applying smoky heavy eye make -up and deep red lipstick .
My nails were painted red and I had curled my hair . My heart was pounding because since he had been back this would be the first time that I had planned something . I took a deep breath looking myself over .
I had always felt confident in myself , but with Alejandro and the way he looked at me , m y confidence was sky – high . I looked over my tattoos that went nicely with the look , my breasts that were spilling out of the lingerie that I knew would be torn to shreds before the night even begun , examining my wider hips , brushing my fingers over my mate mark .
This was the woman I was meant to be . I turned away and looked at my phone , sighing softly . I had texted Raven for a bit , whilst I set up some candles a short while ago . She acted like she was doing ok , but I knew that wasn’t the case . She even said she had to go as her dad was calling . I was worried for her , even when she came to visit Dante . She was acting ok , but it scared me because she was somehow . hiding her emotions where even I couldn’t sense them properly . ( FLASHBACK ) ” … going to buy you a mockingbird and if that mockingbird doesn’t sing … ” Raven trailed off , as Dante fell asleep in her arms .
She looked at me , her eyes sparkling with emotions .. ” He is so cute , gosh , he’s the baby version of chocolate and marshmallows . ” She whispered , bringing him over to me . I kissed him softly as I took him and settled him into his crib , pulling Raven down next to me on my bed . ” So , how are you feeling ? ” ” Perfect . ” She said with a confident smile .
” Do you really think something like that would put me down ? ” My heart pulled painfully at her words . She wrapped her arms around me . ” Can you stop stressing about me ? Look , you need to emit positive energy for little Dante .
” I wish I could , but it hurts that my brother just left without even saying goodbye to her … that I slept with her other mate . I felt like a horrible friend , I really did … but I also knew she would never blame me .
No matter what , I was on her side . I’d be there for her , now and forever . ( END OF FLASHBACK ) I pushed the thoughts away . Now wasn’t the time to delve into that . I looked around the room . It was lovely , with a huge round bed , lush carpet , and the lighting was perfect . We were in the outhouse at the back of the mansion .
Rafael had joked that it might be for the best . Although I had been so embarrassed , Alejandro had shamelessly smirked and said he agreed that it was a good idea . He had mind – linked me a few times , but I had told him to be patient .
I was a little worried about my baby and messaged Maria , who told me he was still fast asleep and not to worry . That she was like another mother to me and to rest assured that Dante would be ok . Deciding t o try to believe that .
I finished the room with some petals on the bed and put on some soft music . Satisfied , I mind linked Alejandro . With a smile , I went and sat on the bed , crossing my legs one over the other , as I waited for him …
