“Kia, you make cute babies! Ah, they are even cuter than the last time I saw them.”
“Hun, I sent you a picture of them just two days ago,” Kiara said, hugging Liam tightly.
“Hmm, nope, still cuter than ever,” I whispered, caressing Skyla’s cheek.
“Alpha Alejandro, Kia,” Damon said.
“Hey, Damon,” Kiara said with a small smile, giving him a quick hug as Al looked at him coldly. I felt sorry for him, what with Liam’s treatment of him and now Al’s.
“I never can get away from you,” Al said to him, but compared to how much he hated him years ago, I could tell it had calmed down. I knew his reason… Damon and Kia had been in a sexual relationship for a while.
“Kiara,” Uncle El said, smirking as he came over, meeting his daughter first, then the rest. “How are you all doing? It’s a nice surprise to see you all come down.”
“Yeah, I thought we’d stop by, not that we’ll be here for too long,” King Al said. Uncle El nodded.
“How are they doing?” He asked quietly.
My heart squeezed seeing the wave of sadness that washed over Kiara, Al, and Uncle El. I knew he was asking about Alpha Rafael’s family.
“As best as they fucking can in this situation,” Al said with a smirk that held no light.
Kiara looked up at him, her eyes filled with emotions, the love she felt for him strongly showing. She stepped closer, cupping his face as she tugged him down and kissed him softly. Gosh, if you wanted a perfect hot couple, it was those two.
“Don’t just stand out there, come on in! Monica and I want to see the kiddies!” Aunty Red called.
I smiled. I loved how Aunty Red was so considerate of Aunty Monica. It was heartbreaking to see her like this.I promise I will do more. I will, I don’t care what happens with me, Damon, or Liam, but I will try to do more for her…
I headed back to the kitchen to make some more hot drinks. Kia followed me after meeting her mom and Aunty Monica.
“So, how is it being back here?” She asked.
“Okay, I guess…” I said. I wasn’t sure if they knew about the murders. They had enough going on, so unless Uncle El or someone told them, I wouldn’t mention it.
“Still nothing?” She asked softly as I poured some more milk in to make something for them.
“Nope, nothing. So, do you guys want food first?” I didn’t want to talk about my issue.
“No, we ate on the way. A hot drink is fine,” Kiara said as she took out two mugs. “Things will get better.”
“I’m sure they will…” I said, smiling at her.
I still wanted to ask someone about my brother, but I guess it was going to have to wait. The evening passed by with everyone just sitting and chatting.
Dante and Azura played together, although Dante was a little bossy, and when Azura refused to listen, he just got angry. He also told Azura he was a big boy and she was a baby, which only angered her even more. What could I say about these two alpha-blooded children?
The twinsies were happy. Although Kataleya cried a lot, Skyla was a little calmer. They both settled down and enjoyed the constant being carried. They were passed around, and even Aunty Monica looked a little more cheerful.
No one mentioned the murders, and when Kiara got up to put the kids to bed, Damon also said he and Monica would be heading home. Uncle El gave him a small nod before telling him to be careful.
If you need anything when it comes to Aunty M, I’m here, even if it’s just to spend sometime with her if you’re busy,I said through the link, glancing at him. He wasn’t alone; he had us all. I wanted to make sure he knew that I would be there for him, too, even if I was three years too late…
Thanks, Raven,his reply came. Was it me, or did he sound sad?
“I better head home, too,” I said, standing up and picking up the dishes. I had no idea the state my room was going to be in, but I’d see when I got home.
“Okay, take care of yourself,” Aunty Red said, giving me a smile as she picked up Azura.
“Finally,” Al muttered, taking out a cigarette.
