King Alejandro: The Return of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha
Chapter 17

We returned to the mansion and entered the living room. I looked around at all the kids playing. The three girls sat on the carpet, with Kataleya in the center. I could tell by how the girls were fawning over her that she was being taken. Reasonable care of them.

Goddess, even these f*****g pups knew when something wasn't right. I sat down next to Dante, running my fingers through his hair and ruffling it up.

"

'So, not getting f*****g bored, are you?" Nope. Besides, I get to watch TV, and there are so many episodes I've been wanting to catch up on, so why not do that now? I haven't got anything better to do anyway. No schoolwork, no training, just chilling." He gave me a grin, but I could tell from his eyes that he wasn't OK; for me, he was f*****g trying. This was what I had done. Now my f*****g pup, who was only eight years old, had to pretend that things were o k when they f*****g weren't.

"Yeah. Please make the most of it for now because once you're better, you'll catch up twice. "He nodded. The spark in his red eyes returned for a moment, and I f*****g promised that I'd make sure he was back to normal soon enough. Whatever this curse was, we will replace a way to break it. The doorbell rang, and I knew it was probably one of my men with the pizza." Daddy, it's the pizza." Exclaimed Azura. These pups sure could eat, and they enjoyed their food. Well, whatever f*****g makes them happy with the mood being so f*****g down, I'm all for it. I had Clara, one of the two omega housekeepers, answer the door. Moments later, she came to the living room. She knocked lightly on the door before stepping inside." The food is here. Would you like me to serve you here or in the dining room?" She asked politely.

"I think the kids will enjoy eating in the living room for today. What do you guys think?" Scarlett asked with a smile, looking at the girls and Dante." Who can say no ?! I would love that!" Skyla replied dramatically, tossing her hair over her shoulder. I'm sure she f*****g would. That girl loved to chill. She even said when she grows up, all she will do is relax. When I asked her how she would survive or where she would end up providing for herself, she said that that's what I was there for. She wasn't f*****g wrong; as long as I'm alive, this girl can do whatever the f**k she wants.

Clara placed the pizza boxes on the coffee table, and soon Claire, her twin sister, and the other housekeeper entered. Putting some plates down." Should I get squash or juices?" Claire asked politely." Get a mix of fizzy drinks and juices. The kids can have some fun today celebrating Kataleya's return; it's only fitting." Scarlett replied with a small smile. YES, of course, Luna." Claire replied

before she quickly left the room. I leaned over, grabbed one of the plates, and opened the pizza boxes one at a time." So, tell me, kid, which one do you want?" I asked Dante." I'll have two cheese and tomato pizza slices, Dad." I looked across at him with his head leaning against the sofa. He wasn't his usual self, seeing that straight - f*****g hurt. The boy could usually have five to six pizza slices, and now what? He was going to stick to two." Do you want some fries or chicken strips?" I asked. He shook his head as I placed the plate in his lap. He picked up his pizza slice slowly, and he clearly didn't have much appetite." OK, girls, be careful." Scarlett was saying. I glanced at the girls and saw Kataleya was watching me.

I motioned for her to come over, holding my hands. She gave me a beautiful smile before she rushed over and climbed into my lap, hugging me tightly." I'm so happy to be home, Daddy." She whispered, looking into my eyes. I kissed her cheek softly, her soft pure. Scent soothing as ever mixed with her shampoo." Yeah. I'm f*****g happy that you're home as well, baby girl. "She smiled at me, her dark eyes the same color as mine, yet were the entire f*****g opposite, full of warmth and innocence." Do you want your usual? Or do you want to be more adventurous and have some chicken and jalapeno-topped pizza? I asked.

"Oh no, Daddy! I want my usual. I want one giant slice of cheese and tomato pizza with lots and lots of fries, and I like chicken wings." She gave me a huge smile that lit up her face. How the hell do people hurt children?" Do you think this tiny tummy can handle that many fries?" I asked, tickling her. She giggled, writhing in my hold. I pulled her close, kissing the top of her head." I sure can." She replied breathlessly. It was good to see her f*****g smile." Kataleya is a food monster who can eat lots and lots; instead of making her tummy big and round, her food vanishes into space!" Skyla added as she bit into her pizza, topped with a mix of vegetables and chicken." Or what your aunty Raven used to think was that she had tiny alien-like insects inside her tummy that ate all her food and didn't allow her to grow." Scarlett added.

"Oh, that's because Raven is short." Azura giggled. I smirked." Yeah, you got that right." I agreed." Mama Red is small, too." Dante added, smiling slightly." I'm two inches taller than Raven, though." Scarlett replied, smiling at Dante as she finally finished tending to the other two girls and took her large plate to Elijah. She sat down next to him, placing the plate on his thigh." I think when I'm older, I will be the tallest." Skyla finalized with a nod," I think I will be." Azura added with a thoughtful expression." You're pretty small, Sky." I am not." You are, but it doesn't matter; I'll be the tallest of you all since girls are always much more minor." Dante added, mustering up a half-assed smirk.

"He's right." Elijah added." But we all know that height doesn't matter." Scarlett interceded." But Mama, I heard Raven talking to Taylor, and they said size matters." Azura added. I almost choked on my f*****g drink, clearing my throat and smirking as I looked at the couple across from me. Both exchanged looks." Guess size matters, huh?" I mocked. Scarlett, who looked shocked, smoothly covered up her surprise and took a bite of her pizza." Well, I'm sure they were talking about something else." Scarlett tried to cover up as Elijah simply shook his head, a slight smirk on his face.

"No, they were talking about Liam and Zack." Azura frowned." It's OK; I'll ask them when I go back." "I don't think Aunty Raven should say size matters when she's so tiny." Skyla giggled." OK, let's change this topic." Scarlett stated. Yeah, I'm sure no one wants to f*****g imagine their son's dick size. I kept my hand on Kataleya's plate as she ate when I noticed something sticking out of her pajama pocket. It was a dark piece of fabric. I reached for it, but she quickly grabbed my hand, to my surprise." That's mine, Daddy!" She exclaimed, fear filling her eyes. Instantly, I felt like there was something wrong. Did it have some magic on it or

something that she was told to keep close to her?" Let me look at it, angel," I replied quietly," Can I have it back after?" She asked hesitantly, fat tears beginning to spill down her face." Yeah, I f*****g promise." If it's safe. She slowly took it out and clutched it tightly, still unwilling to give it up." Please save him, Daddy. His papa hurt him." She began to sob as Scarlett rushed over, taking the plate from us and crouching down next to me, stroking Kataleya's hair.co" It's OK baby, you can keep it. Who is he?" She asked soothingly. That kid she mentioned outside that f*****g place ..." Enrique, he was the bad Alpha's son. He gave me food." She began crying uncontrollably, and I hugged her tight as Scarlett rubbed her back, looking upset despite masking it well. There were similarities between her and Kiara, but Scarlett hid her emotions better.

"OK, I won't take it from you; it will be OK." I murmured as the two girls exchanged looks, worry, and concern, replacing the amusement from earlier." Why would he help you?" Dante asked, despite his state. His eyes were sharp as he questioned her." He didn't say." Kataleya sobbed." She said earlier when we were there that he was around Dante's age or a bit older." I said quietly to Elijah and Scarlett. Scarlett's eyes were filled with concern and worry; I knew it was for the pup. Kataleya may have some answers, but I couldn't ask her." You can't trust the enemy, Kat." Dante said firmly, his eyes cold." But when there was shouting, he was the one who hurried to unlock the basement door. He didn't know the fire can't hurt me ...

He told me my family had come for me and to go outside quickly." She whimpered. So... This fucker had helped her ...." The day he gave me food, his papa found out, and Enrique told him to punish him. The guard at the door said if the young alpha prince died, it would be my fault. Then, when he unlocked the basement door, he still could not walk correctly; I saw the marks on his neck..." Dante scoffed." Alpha prince. His father is no king, and nor is he a prince." Dante ..." I warned.

Arrogance and pride were two traits that Dante had, but as much as I agreed with him that the man was no f*****g king, I would not allow him to upset Kataleya, who had been treated with some humanity by the fuckers pup. Although I didn't like any boy being nice to my girl... I was glad she hadn't been f*****g alone. That kid had done more for her than I could have within those walls..." OK, let's finish our pizza and not argue." Elijah said, glancing at the irritated Dante." Dad, we are not arguing," Azura pouted." We are discussing ... "

"Don't worry, Kat, we will replace your prince, OK?" Skyla smirked, winking at her sister, making Dante and I frown. To my f*****g surprise, Kataleya blushed as she wiped her tears, making Azura giggle." He isn't her f*****g prince." I growled. Skyla cocked her eyebrow." You can't decide that, Daddy; besides, now that Kat's home, you owe me .... Three hundred pounds." I" For?""" For swearing. OK, I do f*****g swear, but I have not said the f*****g word around her three hundred times... I haven't even been around for that f*****g long since we got back.

"Thrifty." Elijah smirked." No, just a f*****g thief." I growled as she stuck her tongue out at me cheekily." You ain't getting any money for that." She looked away sullenly after giving me a dirty look as she bit into her pizza viciously. Once dinner was over, the girls played for a while or tried to, but it was clear Kataleya was not ready to cheer up, still holding onto the torn piece of fabric." OK, you two girls must shower and start getting ready for bed." Scarlett ordered.

"Azura, I am going to check your hair. Make sure you wash it properly, OK?"" OK, Mama." She replied with a pout." Daddy, will you tell me a bedtime story?" Kataleya asked." About a certain prince charming?" Skyla shimmed before she burst into a fit of giggles." No f*****g prince charming." I frowned. Why the f**k was this girl even talking

about boys! They were not to even go there. Like f*****g ever. I glared at her and spotted Elijah f*****g smirking." What do you want?"" Just thinking of you in my position... karma." I" Don't speak too soon; you have one left." I reminded him." Well, at least there's no more Rossi's. Elijah smirked.. "

There is one ..." Scarlett added with an amused smirk before her smile vanished, and she shook her head, frowning." Far too old. The three of us exchanged looks, clearly f*****g disturbed with the direction that went. Yeah, too old... but then again... I was sixteen years older than Kiara ... Leo... Na, the goddess isn't that f*****g sadistic to play that shit all over. I glanced at Dante, who was falling asleep holding his can of drink. I took it from him and picked him up.

"Dad, I can walk." I didn't argue, knowing it was his pride, placing him down as I helped him out of the room, pausing at the door." I'm getting Dante to bed. Have your teeth brushed, and then I'll tell you a damn story." Ooo, Daddy is telling a story for once!" Skyla giggled. Yeah, f*****g torture, but just seeing them all together was enough. Once Dante had changed and brushed his teeth, I helped him to bed. Elijah would be staying with him for the night."

Are the pillows OK?" Yeah, Dad, I'm fine. A curse can't do anything to me." He said, quietly staring at the stars projected on his ceiling." But you're still worried about something." I pushed quietly." Well... Delsanra's also like this because of me. So, does Ray hate me?" He asked so quietly that I barely heard. He was clenching his jaw as he tried to remain emotionless.

I smirked slightly." Rayhan? Far from it, for a moment, I thought you were worried about - Del." I am... but we are both going to be OK." He replied with such conviction that something told me he knew more than he could say. But those words gave me hope." Yeah?"" Yeah, there's something we need to do.

"He smiled at me, looking far older than his years. I frowned, nodding. There were things he said that we didn't understand. Kia and I decided it was best not to push it and just accept what he said and take notes but still treat him like he was just a typical pup. Although he was a f*****g mature one." Good." I replied, kissing his forehead. "So, want to talk to Rayhan?" Umm... not now..." He mumbled, looking down at his duvet." Alright, when you want to, just say the word, OK? "OK."

I tucked him in before I stood up." Night, son." Night fucker." He replied. I smirked; yeah, that's what I would have usually said." Don't let your mom catch you saying that. "I won't." I opened the bedroom door a crack, heading to the twin's room. The door was open, and the three giggling could be heard down the f*****g hall. What the hell was with girls? Did they need to giggle twenty-four - f*****g seven? I knocked lightly on the door. "You can come in, you know." Azura's voice came, her sharp blue eyes peering at me through the gap in the door.

"Don't worry, Mama is dressed." I raised an eyebrow. She f*****g knew I knocked because of Scarlett. I opened the door, entering the pale pink, extra girly room that confused me. I can't say only girls love pink, but... Yeah, not my f*****g color unless o, f course, it's on Kiara." I'm beginning to wonder which is the more giant evil between Skyla and you." Oh, but I'm so innocent.

"Azura replied, pulling the hood of her unicorn onesie up and blinking those large eyes at me." Yeah, I can see..." I don't trust this girl, and unlike Liam, I won't fall for her tricks. Scarlett came out from the arch that led off to the girls' dressing room, play area, and bathroom, holding two pink bath towels." Bedtime storytime, huh?" Yeah." I looked at the three girls who had settled into one bed, looking at me with anticipation." Daddy, you look good in a pink room. Maybe you should wear pink at times." Skyla added. I narrowed my eyes, hearing Scarlett chuckle as she left the room, leaving me with the three girls, two of who were as f*****g devious as devils ... You can handle anything, Alejandro. I'm sure one extra child wasn't going to be an issue. The only problem was that she was a f*****g Westwood, and I knew that she was not going to make this easy
