25. Brothers ALEJANDRO ” How the fuck do you kill one ? ” I repeated , my voice cold and emotionless , yet laced with authority that she dared not defy , even if she wasn’t a werewolf , a ” I … I do not know . ” I didn’t know if I should fucking believe her or not . ” 1 ” Then how about you try to find out . ” It could cost you your life . ” She replied quietly . Something told me she knew more than she was fucking letting on . ” Well , I’ll be waiting for the answer …
I’m sure you wouldn’t care what the fuck happens to me . ” Not at all , but you are also vital for the balance . ” Her clipped voice came . ” I don’t plan to die . Get me the answers I want , or I’ll get them myself . This involves your niece too , remember ? ” Although she didn’t go around stating it , Janaina was Delsanra’s paternal aunt . ” She is your family and I’m sure you will find a solution . ” She replied dismissively . ” Yeah , I fucking will , with or without you .
So just do as I’m fucking asking , all I need is the answer , I’ll do the rest . ” ” Very well . ” She said reluctantly , after a moment of silence . ” If anything happens to you , I will not be responsible to answer to your queen . 11 ” It won’t come to that . ” I hung up , my brows furrowed deeply . Killing the Alpha behind this was not going to be enough , I knew that I needed to kill the Djinn too … I threaded my hands together , dropping my legs to the ground and leaning forward .
>> How to kill a Djinn …. I wouldn’t just rely on Janaina to find that answer , I’ll look for my own too . I returned home when night had fallen , whilst Elijah instantly pulled Scarlett aside , kissing her like he had fucking been away for years . Well , I was just being a fucking hypocrite because when I found my mate , I planned to kiss her until she begged for air . She had mind linked earlier to ask if I’ll be back by dinner and I told her we would . The house was a fucking storm of sound , but one that I didn’t really hate . I could hear the girls laughing and shouting in excitement , whilst Ahren and Tatum were fighting over a toy . NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Sienna was toddling along , trying to escape from the room . While Delsanra lay on the sofa with a blanket over her , Raihana was sitting next to her , using her magic to make Sienna do a 180 – degree
turn . The poor kid looked fucking confused as she kept her balance , blinking those dark grey doe eyes of hers as she realised she was no longer facing the door . Why the fuck did kids look so fucking deceiving .
They were not innocent … Kiara was trying to soothe the boys , looking fucking smoking hot in that tiny dress of hers … Her sandy brown hair cascaded over her shoulder as she broke up the fight , Tatum ran off with the toy whilst Ahren glared after him angrily . Maria was braiding Skyla’s Irair , Azura and Kataleya had similar braids in their hair as they ran circles around Maria and Skyla . ” Whose fucking annoying you ? ”
I asked Sienna , picking her up as all eyes turned to me . Kiara stood up , coming over as Sienna looked near tears . Yeah , she was at that stage where she got fucking tearful if I picked her up . ” Uncle , hey . ” Raihana gave a small wave . ” 1 ” Hey . ” I pulled Kiara close , kissing her lips hard , fuck I missed her . I tried not to pay attention to how fucking good her body felt pressed against mine and those tits …. Let’s just say I’ll be admiring them later . ” You look fucking divine . ” I murmured , slowly kissing her neck over her mate mark . Satisfied with the soft sigh that escaped her , I let go of her and she took Sienna from me just as she burst into tears .
11 ” Pups . Raihana stood up and I walked over to her , giving her a tight hug . She was a decent height and with those heels she was nearly six feet .. ” What happened ? Did you empty the entire pot of glitter on your face or some shit ? ” I asked , looking at her bronzed face . She rolled her eyes . ” Oh Uncle , are you jealous that I look so fine ?
” She stated , clearly she was not bothered about what I had just said . ” Well , I’m afraid if I kiss you , I’m going to have that crap all over me . ” I mocked , placing a kiss on top of her black locks . ” You always do look more than fine , princess . ” Her mate , Chris , remarked upon entering the room . These two were fucking made for each other , if their pup was half as fucking conceited as them , then I felt fucking sorry for his mate … Well , the moment they began sucking eating each other’s faces off , I walked over to Delsanra . Her eyes were open but she looked exhausted . ” Hey , King Burrito .
” She whispered , an ” Hey , spitfire . ” 1 crouched down by the sofa , placing a hand around the back of her head , I kissed her forehead . Her pale eyes met mine and I silently promised that she was going to be fucking ok … ” Where’s pretty boy ? ” ” Rayhan ? Dante wanted to talk to him . ” She sounded amused and I frowned slightly , nodding .
” Guess the cousins are fucking bonding . ” She gave a weak nod and I stood up , going over to Maria , who stood up . She looked a bit better than she did on video call . I didn’t say anything , hugging her tightly . Every time I saw her , I remembered Raf . No matter how long fucking went by , I couldn’t forget him or get over his loss I had lost many in life , but I just dealt with that shit … but Raf … there was something entirely different about losing him .
You didn’t get over it , you just learned to deal with it . I let go of her and she smiled slightly . ” It’s good to have you here . ” I said before turning to the girls . ” Nice hair . ” ” Thank you , Daddy . ” Kataleya replied , her eyes bore into mine , I knew she wanted to ask me if I had done anything about finding the pup . Even if I brought him here , I did not plan on allowing her to meet him … I glanced at Raihana , that was a spell we were going to do later . One I knew Kiara was not going to fucking approve of . ” I’m going to go change . ” I informed Kiara , leaving the room . ” Don’t take long , dinner will be ready soon . ” She replied , as I gave her a quick kiss and a nod . I had smoked countless fucking cigarettes and needed a fucking shower . I headed upstairs , taking two at a time , slowing down when I heard the sound of Rayhan and Dante talking …
RAYHAN We had gotten here a short while ago and I had come up to check on Dante , it was weird not seeing him downstairs , annoying the hell out of me as he talked to Delsanra and complimenting her on how she looked I would tolerate all of that happily if they could just both be ok again . I reached his bedroom and knocked lightly on the open door .
One of Uncle’s most trusted guards was sitting on the sofa in his room . He stood up , lowering his head to me before he left the room , leaving us alone . ” Ray …. ” Dante said , frowning slightly as he sat up . His aura filled the room , and I knew that when he did shift , he was going to be truly strong . ” Hey ,
kiddo . ” I replied , walking over and ruffling his hair . He raised an eyebrow , pushing my hand away weakly . ” Don’t touch the hair . ” He warned , trying his best to sound like his usual self .
He looked like hell , but it was clear he was coping better than Delsanra was . ” Mind if I sit ? ” I asked , motioning to the edge of the bed . He shook his head and I sat down looking at him . He had some music playing in the background , but it was faint , and apart from that there didn’t seem to be anything that he had to keep himself occupied .
” How’s Delsanra ? ” He asked , a small pout on his lips . I raised an eyebrow . ” I’m surprised you weren’t downstairs to greet her , considering you are usually always the first at the door . ” I smiled slightly . ” What’s wrong ? Not up to it or just don’t want to see her anymore ? ” I asked lightly . He frowned , his eyes flashing with irritation . ” Don’t say I don’t want to see her , I do … I just . ” He glared at me , crossing his arms as he sat up straighter . He stared down at the striped bedding , and I could sense his uncertainty . ” What’s up ? ” I asked , leaning forward , running my fingers through my long hair .
” Do you hate me ? ” He murmured hesitantly , shocking me , looking up at me with those ruby red eyes of his . 1 ” Why would I hate you ? ” I questioned confused . I heard Uncle silently come up the stairs , but I knew Dante hadn’t sensed his father yet . ” Because of what happened to Delsanra , because of me . I’m always a nuisance to you , right ?
” He asked nonchalantly , despite the fact that I could tell this was weighing on his mind . Seeing your mate like that … It fucking hurt , it tore me up inside and I wished that I could take away that pain , wish that it was me in her place . I’d give anything to see her happy , smiling , and laughing … yet I couldn’t do anything but watch her go through this with nothing I could do and feeling absolutely useless . It was killing me , but was I going to blame a child ? No … He wasn’t even conscious
when Kiara called us over . If it was anyone else , maybe I would have been pissed that Delsanra risked herself , but Dante was a kid . He was eight , and no matter how irritating the asshat could be , I loved
him . ” Want the truth ? ” I asked him . He swallowed and nodded with defiance . 11 ” Obviously . ” Now that’s more like the kid I knew .
” I don’t hate you , but I am pissed at you , for even thinking that I could hate you . Am I that bad ? ” I raised an eyebrow , and I almost smiled as I saw the flicker of relief in his eyes . ” Sorry … ” He looked down , clenching his fists . ” You and my kitten are going to be ok , because you are both fighters . ” I said quietly , reaching over I gave his shoulder a gentle squeeze . ” I’m glad you asked me , but seriously , I can’t hate you . ” He nodded , giving me a small cocky smirk . ” Yeah , and I guess Delsanra can never hate me either . ”
I raised an eyebrow , this …. ” Fucker . ” Uncle’s voice came and we both turned to see him standing there , arms crossed . ” I was thinking more along the lines of asshat … ” I remarked with an amused smile . ” Fucker does the job . ” Uncle remarked coldly , coming over and taking a seat next to Dante , placing an arm around his shoulders
, ” Right , fucker ? ” ” Yeah , I guess us Rossi’s suit the name fucker . Right , Dad ? ” He replied cockily . Like father , like son … I smiled slightly , remembering my own father . To be the Alpha , son , and mate he’d want me to be … Was I making him proud ? I could feel Uncle’s sharp eyes on me , but I didn’t look at him , keeping my mask in place . ” Yeah , we do , especially you two . ” Uncle said mockingly . ” Or more like you three , your last brother is an equal dick ”
The three sons of three brothers .. I just wished we could have a strong bond , something I doubted would ever happen with the hatred that Leo felt towards me . ” Right , I’m off to shower , think dinner is almost fucking done too . ” Uncle said standing up , he slapped my back before he left us alone once more .
Dante pushed the bedding off and got up , I could tell it took a lot out of him . ” Need help ? ” ” 1 ” No , I’m just going to go get ready too . I smirked , ok Dante was still perfectly able , if he was ready to get all dressed up , then he was definitely doing ok . ” For whom , may I ask ? ” ” Who do you think ? ” He
replied arrogantly , giving me a cocky , annoying smirk , before sauntering off the best he could despite his exhaustion . I chuckled , lightly shaking my head . They were both definitely going to be alright .
