King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

Chapter 68

68 A Revelation Beyond Imagination

ALEJANDRO

“Come back Rayhan. We only have a couple dozen to go. You need to be here with Delsanra, even if it’s just for a bit.” I said quietly through the phone. “Yeah.” His quiet reply came. “I want to, but me coming back slows things down. We need to work as fast as possible.”

He’d been fucking strong, even with each passing day… Delsanra hadn’t woken up in the last twenty hours and we were all getting fucking worried. Her heart was fading and time was running out.

Kiara was knocked out in the cells, yet at times I felt the pain and agony through the bond. He was hurting her, trying to awaken her, and it fucking hurt, knowing I was causing her pain too. “Alright… How long do you think it’ll take?” I asked. “I’m going to say a day at most, I’m getting this fucking done.” He replied, his voice dangerously low. “Got it.”

I hung up, dropping into my seat. I was trying to keep my shit together, but the poison was fucking messing me up too. Janaina and Elijah were in the room. Everyone was gathering here ready to leave when the time came. Only Leo said he would meet us on the way.

He had shifted two nights ago and Marcel had said he was a powerful wolf, I expected no less from a Rossi. The conversation from the day before yesterday played in my mind.

Why had his words made me uneasy?

(FLASHBACK – TWO DAYS AGO) “Congrats on your shift. Your old man said you’re a fucking sight.”

“Maybe.”

“I’m proud of you, I wouldn’t have expected anything less from a Rossi.”

A cold scoff came down the line “Oh yeah? I don’t really consider myself one of your kind.”

“My kind?”

“Yeah, the kind I hate.” “Leo, I know you hate Rayhan, but try to understand what he did was because his mate-” “Was tortured, under Endora’s command, right? Yeah I know, if you forget, I was there. I remember sneaking her medicine and food when I could. Even if she was a witch, she was just another prisoner… like all of us.”

“Then you understand why he did it.”

“Rayhan’s mate, Rayhan’s mate, Rayhan’s mate… I’m getting bored of hearing it. What about the mates of those who were forced to hurt her? Those who suffered from the trauma of being spelled to commit crimes, knowing their families would be killed before their eyes yet still begged not to be forced to hurt her? What about when Rayhan beat those victims, did he not think their innocent mates would also feel the pain? Tell me, King Alejandro, in his revenge he hurt so many innocent people. In fact, two of those who were kept prisoner, their mates were pregnant at the time, and one almost miscarried. But you all don’t care, do you? Because it’s your fucking Rayhan. Congratulations your royal highness, you really are the perfect king.” + The phone was cut off, leaving me feeling ice cold. (END OF FLASHBACK)

Did I feel uneasy because the facts he stated were something I had never considered? Or because I let it happen? It’s true, even Marcel had been under Endora’s command, to the point he was a mere puppet- like most of them… but had we been right to give Rayhan that power? I had given him those files… data I had promised I’d share with no one… Had I made a mistake? Puppets of Endora who had regretted their actions… and above that, their mates suffered… 1 I ran my hand through my hair. “It’s a shame Delsanra isn’t up to this.” Janaina sighed.

“What the fuck do you mean?” I asked glad for a distraction from my thoughts. “I found out that any kind of demon can kill a Djinn without dying.” She stated haughtily. “Well we don’t fucking have demons walking the fuck around now do we?” I growled. 2 Each fucking day closer to ending this shit also meant

saying goodbye to Maria, so my mood was getting fucking worse. Elijah frowned as he watched me calculatingly.

“So Rayhan almost has the entire blood count? At this rate, you can set off in the morning.” He said quietly.

I nodded.

“Yeah, I think I’ll let everyone know.” I said, standing up. Only the most trusted would know of the plans, my warriors were ready to leave at any moment anyway.

“No, you rest, take it easy, keep your energy up and I’ll let them know.” He said quietly.

“Thanks.” I said quietly. He left the room, and Janaina looked at me.

“You know, I came here earlier for a reason.” She stated.

“Yeah, I’d hope so because I didn’t fucking call you.”

“I still truly dislike your attitude.” She snapped as I sat down again.

“Yeah, I’m not very likeable. Any other obvious fact you want to share?” She frowned but turned away, crossing her arms. “I’m here because I know exactly why the Djinn wants Dante. Do you wish to know?” “You have been here for a few fucking hours and you are telling me this shit now? What do you want in return?” I asked. A smile curled the corners of her lips and she nodded. “This time I do want something. We need funds to expand certain areas of our coven, however, we are not as rich as you.”

“You can’t just magic yourself into some bank vault or some shit and steal whatever the fuck you need?” I asked, raising an eyebrow as I lit a cigarette. 2 She narrowed her eyes and glared scathingly at me. “We don’t steal.” She hissed. “Fine, I’ll give you the fucking funds. Now, why does he want Dante?”

“It’s a little ironic actually, but he wants Dante’s blood. Your son’s blood will give him a solid form to walk the earth in all his power, not just possessing a vessel like he has with his current host.”

Blood.

What the fuck were we all high on? Some vampire-like shit?

It came down to that for both parties then.

“So you’re saying he isn’t fully here? Yet he’s that fucking strong?”

“Not exactly. He is here, but he can’t retain his form without a vessel, and since he was summoned by an Escarra, they are his only hosts. However, Dante’s birth was foreseen centuries ago…” I frowned, what was it, what powers did Dante hold that the entire fucking world made him a target? “Do you remember what I told you when you first came to me? That the entire world will have their eyes upon him?”

“Yeah, it’s why he keeps that amulet on.”

“Yes that amulet is far more powerful than you think. History says it came from Hecate herself.”

“Yeah ok, now tell me what the fuck is this entire prophecy around Dante?”

She frowned

“So impatient as always Welli lied, not only would the entire world have its eyes upon him, but the eyes of the yods would be on him too.” ;

Awave of uneasiness washed over me

What was he? What power did he hold?

“The prophecy regarding Dante was destroyed by Selene to protect him, and those who knew

it were to pass it down but were cursed to not speak of it.”

I frowned. Is that what happened to the man in Italy? We had thought it was the Djinn at work

“So then you telling me.”

“Oh, I’ll live because I was given this message to pass on when the time came. I may be a witch, but I am also what you may call a prophetess.” She pulled up her hair from the nape of her neck, showing me an intricate symbol that seemed to be glowing. “I was sent to assist and protect Dante’s identity. Although I hated werewolves, we cannot choose our purpose. It was why I became a lone witch.”

My mind was reeling. How far back had she known? “So you knew this shit years back, but didn’t think to tell me? “The time was not right. It is now.” She said icily. “It is why I purposely crossed paths with Callum, knowing he’d end up in your pack. He was the one who told you about me.”

“And as a prophetess, or whatever that shit is, you are still asking for money in return?” “Don’t be so stingy.”

“What the fuck is he?” I asked. Something told me he was far more than what we were thinking She smiled knowingly before she raised an eyebrow. “You really can’t think of anything more powerful than a Lycan? Than a blessed wolf, demon, djinn, or a bloodline prince? Really, King Alejandro, is the poison tampering with your brain?” I frowned, more powerful than everything we had come across… “What being is as strong as a fucking god?” I growled, irritated at her roundabout answers.

Her smile only grew. “Just that, your son is a miracle on earth. One that Selene has fought to place on this earth, for when the time comes, the world will need him. Your son is not only the future king, not just an Alpha, not just a young boy; he is the most powerful being to grace this planet and one that the entire world will bow down to. Your son is a Demi-God, King Alejandro. A real God.” ;

Her words came crashing down on me, and my mind was beyond fucking reeling at the revelation

What The Actual. Fuck.

I bet if I was Liam, this would be the part where I would end up passing out, but instead, I sat back in my seat trying to process it all.

Dante was…

If I didn’t see how serious she was I would have thought this was a joke.

He was a fucking Demi-God.

“Well fuck, I didn’t see that coming”.
