King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

88. Epilogue part 2 SCARLETT | looked in the mirror, applying my trademark red lipstick. Years had passed but sthings never changed, like my love for the colour red. | was wearing a sequined black dress that reached the ground, the sequins bleeding i nto a deep red from the knee downwards. There was also a thigh-high slit on the left.

| had my hair sleekly straightened and | had just finished applying my lipstick when Elijah stepped out of the bathroom, alread y dressed in wine-red pants and jacket with a black shirt underneath it. His hair was. styled sexily, letting his natural waves fall over his forehead, his sandy brown hair no w sprinkled with a dusting of silver, He licked his lips as he lookedover his eyes flashing cobalt blue and his tongue piercing catching the light.

Goddess, he still made my core throb, just like he always did. I could never resist this man.

| bit my lip as | smoothed the fabric of my dress, slowly watching as he closed the gap between us, gripping my waist., “So, how do | look?” | asked sexily.

Nearly three decades on, he still looked atlike | was the only one in his world. When he looked at me, it was as if titself paused, as if it was just the two of us in that moment. His response was to bendbackwards a nd kisspassionately, making my body combust with fireworks.

“You look fucking divine, kitten.” He said huskily, grabbing my ass as we broke apart.

| smiled, staring up into his eye.

“You look pretty sexy yourself.” | replied, running my hand down his chest as he ‘slowly pulledupright.

Our eyes met, and tiptoeing, | kissed his neck before resting my head against his chest. No matter what life threw our way, we would always face it to gether.

“Well let's get down there, the food all smells great, although nothing beats how. good you smell right now. Ill be saving my favourite dessert for last.” He said, squeezing my ass once again as we left our room.

“Can‘t wait, baby.” | replied, just as Azura crunning up the stairs. | had done her hair before | had gone to get ready myself, she looked stunning in a black sequined dress, with a touch of eyeliner and gloss - which Elijah had been really unsure about. Whether he liked it or not, our baby girl was getting older.

“You're here! Wow, you both look so good!” She complimented. “Can you call Kiara too? It's only you guys left to cnow!” Not waiting for a reply, she ran back down the stairs.

“She's got energy at all times of the day.” Elijah said, shaking his head.

“I think it's a family thing.” | said with a smile as | reached up and kissed him, before I turned, looking down the hallway. “Kiara, hurry up! We're all waiting for you guys!” “Kk Mom, coming!” Kiara‘s voice cand | paused, glancing back down the hall, a wave of nostalgia washing o ver me..

| smiled faintly, shaking my head as | carried on down the stairs with my man by my side...

ELIJAH The garden was already decorated with fairy lights and sballoons. The décor was in deep midnight blue and silver. The tables were all covered in mi dnight blue cloths, with silver confetti decorating them. The buffet table was to the right, with a few tables set up for when we ate. On the opposite side was the dessert table which had a variety of desserts as well as a chocola te fountain. A blue shimmering cloud hung over it and when the kids approached, they were covered with puffs of silver confetti, making them giggle. Courtesy of Raihana, | was sure.

The quintuplets, Tatum and Ahren kept going near the dessert table, getting excited as they tried to avoid the glitter. Artemis was sitting at the kids’ table eati ng chicken. That one loved her food; despite the fact it was near midnight, these kids were as fresh as if it was m orning. Dante was leaning against a tree, staring at the sky. Whilst Azura and Skyla were already dancing to the music, Kataleya was playing with Chase as Maria watched them.

Rayhan and Delsanra were to the corner, with Rayhan leaning over her as she leaned back against a tree. | glanc ed towards Scarlett, who cover towith two glasses of mocktails. Her hips swayed sensually, her dress h ugging her perfect curves as she walked toward me.

“Queen of hearts.” She said, holding the red drink out to me.

“Hmm, she’s right before me.” | replied flirtatiously, snaking my free arm around her as | pulled her close, crushi ng her breasts against me. Her intoxicating floral scent invaded my senses as | kissed her lips softly. “The person ification of temptation and sin itself.” | whispered huskily in her ear as | kissed her there sensually.

Her heart raced, her breath hitching, years on and | still had that effect on her.

“And what exactly are you? Tell me, my blue part? forbidden Alpha.” She winked, and | smirked.

| sometimes forgot the fact that she was my stepsister, but like I've said a thousand fucking times, I didn’t care if she was forbidden toor whether she was my fated mate, as long as | had her in my life | needed nothing els e.

“Well like they say, life in forbidden sin is best.” | bent her over backwards, making her gasp as she tried to balance her drink as | kissed her like it was the last fucking time.

Someone let off sfireworks, a whistle, and I think I heard someone saying ‘go get it Uncle EI’ but | wasn’t sure who it was because | was far too lost in my kitten...

RAVEN | whistled loudly the moment Uncle El kissed Aunty Red, looking so damn fine.

| saw Raihana snap a picture of them as she let off a firework. She looked incredible as well in a sexy metallic gol d dress, like always she stood out from the crowd! “Check Uncle getting it on.” | giggled, leaning back against my own inate.

Everyone was here now, Aunty A and Cassandra were sitting to the side looking all loved up. Damon and Robyn were having a moment in the shadows of the trees. Aunty M and Channing were playing with Artemis and Asher. : Al had said he needed a restraining order on the poor kid, just because he was such a gentleman! But | guess kis sing the king's daughters was not a good idea. | giggled at the thought. 5 Taylor and Zack were having drinks as they talked to Rick and his mate. * Aland Kiara had just cout now, | smiled watching them go over to Marcel and Maria whilst Kataleya joined th em. The entire atmosphere was one of persection.

Life really was good.

I snuggled against Liam, loving when he groaned slightly as | rubbed against his manhood. | was wearing a black corset lacedress with a slit down from my right hip, with matching gloves and black heels. My purple dark- to-light ombre hair was curled and left open. Liam looked handsin a dark purple shirt with black pants.

“Oh yeah? If you want to bail on this carly, | really don‘t mind.” “I'm sure you would love that, but didn‘t we just have a little fun?” | whispered as he kissed my neck, running his hand down my stomach.

We had ended up in the shower together; and well one thing led to another...

“It's never enough when it involves you.” He whispered, tightening his arms around my waist just as Jayce shout ed.

“You loser!” He said to Carter, who was already looking angry, they all looked cute in black pants and different co loured shirts.

“Shut up!” “Jayce, Carter, language.” Liam warned.

| shook my head, watching our boys. It was shocking how fast they were growing. They wore clothes a sew years up from their age, but | guess that was to be expected with Alpha babies. If | was somewhat expecting one of th em to go afterin terms of height or size, | was very wrong. 1 My perfect five.

There was a t| thought I'd never belong anywhere, that I'd never truly have a family to call my own. But | was wrong. Not only did | get an uncle and an aunty who were like true parents to me, but | also fo und so much more. | was given my childhood love, my first love as my mate. | couldn‘t be luckier...

-“I love you.” | whispered.

“Love you too, bite-size.” He replied before he kissedonce more...

LIAM We broke apart and | looked down at her, running my hands up her slender gloved arms.

‘I like these gloves... | murmured through the bond.

‘So do I.” She said, caressing my face.

“Mommy, look!” Ares exclaimed, holding out a cake pop to Raven. “Do you want some?” “Aw, yes please!” Raven replied, moving away fromand bending down before our son.

In a few years, she‘ll be this tiny doll with her five bodyguards. She took a bite of the cake pop before kissing Ares’ cheek.

“Oh, Mommy careful.” He lifted her dress from the floor. “Your dress is getting dirty.” “Thank you, baby.” She smiled and stood up as he ran off to the dessert table again, being doused in a puff of sil ver confetti. ; “These boys are going to grow up and protect you, no matter what. Five bodyguards.” “Make it six, | have you too, remember?” She reminded me, turning in my arms.

| winked at her, bending down and wrapped my arms around her thighs before | lifted her up. She smiled, locking her arms around my neck as | looked up at her, kissing her chest.

“You'll always haveand everyone else, you lived your life caged between expectations and your dreams, torn between what you wanted and what was expected of you, but you're a free bite sized bird now with a family tha t loves you immensely. I'm lucky to get to call you mine, this pack is lucky to have you as their Luna, and heck, o ur sons are the luckiest to have you as their mother. You are my every dream and so much more, Love.” | said quietly, looking into her unique eyes.

She smiled softly, her emotions were clear in her eyes, and just as we were about to kiss, we felt several pairs of eyes on us. | didn‘t need to turn to know they belonged to our pups as | claimed her lips in a deep passionate kiss, pouring everything I had into it...

DAMON “Hey, easy there, Art!” | said, catching hold of our princess.

She turned to me, her hair bouncing.

“I'm fine Dad, don’t worry!” She tugged free and was about to run off when she stopped and pouted. “I love you.’ I chuckled.

“No kiss?” She ran back to me, wrapping her arms around my neck and kissing my cheek quickly before she ran off.

“You can't catch me, boys!” She challenged before she darted off in the opposite direction.

“She’s going to be a fast one.” Robyn said with a small smile.

“Hmm yeah, and a crazy fast runner.” | agreed looking down at her.

I pulled her close, thinking she looked so damn good in her chiffon brown mini dress with sequins over the chest & “Definitely.” She said, running her hand down my chest.

| smiled softly, pulling her into a tight hug, I'd always be grateful for having Robyn. She was the queen I couldn’t ¢ she had been willing to loveand have me. Now here we are, happy and content with our own little family.

She looked up and | leaned down to kiss her, just as Liam and Raven cover.

“Here's to another year.” Liam said, passing us both a glass after | moved back Tromber, i “To another year.” | said with a small smirk.

Years ago, we had hit a rough patch in our friendship, but it felt like decades ago. Things were completely fine bet Everything but mates. 1 | chuckled at my own joke, making the three look atquestioningly, “It's nothing, to our women.” | said to Liam, raising my glass.

“To our birdies.” He said, clinking our. glasses, makinglaugh as Robyn narrowed her eyes at him and Raven giggled.

“Liam's still putting his foot in it, | presume?” Zack said as he and Taylor cover.

Raven nodded as Liam looked lost as to what he had done.

“Yes.” Robyn said pointedly, “You don’t look like a bird.” I reassured her.

“I know.” She replied.

“Typical Liam.” Taylor replied cheekily, shaking his head with a small smile.

“I swear | have no idea what was so wrong about that.” Liam said as Raven patted his arm, trying not to laugh at Yep, things have never been better.
