King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

86. A New Life ALEJANDRO “That's it, keep going Luna. You're almost there.” Doctor Linda encouraged. | ran my hand through my hair, fuck | hated this part. | looked down at the hospital bed where Kiara lay, a thin layer of sweat covering her forehead as she held my hand in a tight grip. Her legs propped up and she wore a loose button-down dress that reached mid-thigh. Her eyes were shut as she breathed steadily and heavily. Our pup was almost here, but it was giving Kiara a damn hard time. She had been in labour for the last seventy-two hours and | swear | was going to give this little one a good telling off for putting her through this shit. 3 Then again, I'm the one who put a pup in her.

“Is the baby here yet?” | heard Azura’s voice from the hallway. “What have | said about patience if you want to wait here? Con let's go get something to drink, baby.” Scarlett’s reply came. | know the walls were thick but even soundproof walls didn’t work on my hearing. Scarlett, Elijah and Azura had shown up the moment Kiara had gone into labour, but still, there was no sign of baby Rossi, a neveryone had dubbed it since we didn’t know the gender. “You got this, Amore Mio.” | said quietly, kissing her forehead. Her gorgeous eyes locked with mine and she nodded. My brave queen.

“Push forLuna.” The doctor ordered, as Kiara squeezed my hand obeying. She was strong, barely any sound escaped her, and she hadn't taken any pain relief either. “Stop.” Kiara breathed heavily and | breathed with her, guiding her; as | pressed my forehead to hers gently. “You're doing great, not long now.” | said, nodding slowly as | brushed her hair back, it had been braided but it was no longer as neat as it was yesterday. Strands of her hair stuck to her face and I gently brushed them back as she rested her head against my chest. Her heart was thundering as | knew another contraction rushed through her. “Don’t fucking focus on the bond.” | growled, knowing she was trying to hold the block up so | didn’t feel anything.

She gavea weak smile before she lets out a gasp of pain as she pushed. “Another push, con Luna, this is it, our little baby is almost here!” Linda said, relief and excitement in her voice. “What's your guess?” She whispered, before she pushed, biting her lip to stop her scream. My guess... The movements were unpredictable, and although it was not as wild as Dante had been with the painful kicking, it was still a strong pup. Kiara had said she thought it was a girl, but | had refused to guess. Even now | had no idea, but either way, | was excited to meet our pup. “As long as it's healthy, | don’t care.” | said, kissing her lips softly as she let out a soft scream and pushed with all her might. Her face was scrunched up, but | could tell it was close. “The heads out. My, that's a lot of hair.” Linda said. “Push.” “I am.” Kiara replied breathlessly as she focused on the doctor. My own heart was beating, the moment to meet our pup was here... | couldn't explain it. No matter if it was the first or third fucking time, it still filledwith nervousness. Would | have a prince or another princess? Kiara let out a whimper of pain and | crouched down by the bed, caressing her forehead, holding her hand that gripped mine to my chest.

“You got this, Amore Mio, our pup’s almost here... You are a fucking queen and you're doing incredibly.” | murmured, wishing | could take her pain from her. Two pushes later, her eyes flashed purple and she let out a gasp as our pup’s cry filled the room. My heart thundered as | looked into Kiara’s gorgeous eyes, before turning to the doctor. “Congratulations Alpha, Luna, it’s a beautiful baby girl.” | closed my eyes, a strong surge of happiness fillingas Kiara let out a weak laugh. “A girl, | was right.” She murmured as | kissed her shoulder, standing up and hugging her tightly. “Fuck, you did it, you're fucking incredible.” | murmured before moving back as Linda passed our princess to Kiara, who pulled open a few buttons of her dress and rested our pup against her chest. “Thank fuck that’s over.” | said, kissing Kiara’s forehead before turning my attention to our little pup. A head full of . dark hair greetedbefore she turned her head up and stared at her mama. A cute button nose, plump lips, and big innocent eyes. “Fuck, | don’t think I can tell her off for causing you so much pain... “I muttered, making Kiara giggle before she kissed our pup once more. “Of course not, look at that face, she looks like you!” She fucking didn’t. She’s too damn cute. ‘It's a girl.” | said through the link to Elijah and Darien, knowing they'll pass the message on to all our family and to the pack Linda cut the cord before she looked between us. “Excuse me, | will give you both a little while.” She said, leaving us alone with our pup, unable to hide the smile on her face.

The entire pack will party in celebration of the birth of our new pup. Kiara scooted over a little, and | sat down next to her, wrapping my arm around her as | half lay next to her. “Have you told anyone?” She asked, | nodded.

“Yeah, think everyone's been on edge waiting for this news. I'm fucking proud of you, Amore Mio.” She looked up at me, kissingsoftly. = “Thank you... for givingthis little angel.” She whispered. “Well... it was fun to make her.” | shrugged, making Kiara laugh. “So... name? You said if it was a boy I got to nhim and if it was a girl, you got to nher. Wait, did Dante tell you it was going to be a girl?” “No, | didn’t ask him.” She smiled.

“But | have a name. If you trust me, | would like to keep it for her.” “I fucking trust you with everything. Go for it, you carried her and went through the pain of birthing her, you deserve to fucking nher.” | said kissing my pup’s head, she wriggled as Kiara adjusted her so she could latch her onto her breast. | almost fucking pouted, our pup looked up atas she began sucking on Kiara’s nipple. | hated sharing... and these fuckers knew exactly how it irked me. Look how she was looking atwith those innocent eyes of hers...” “Al, you're frowning at her, she'll get scared.” Kiara scolded lightly. “She’s a damn Rossi, she won't.” | smirked, bending down and kissing her chubby cheek. “So, what's her name?” “Alessandra Rossi.” My heart skipped a beat as | looked at Kiara in surprise. She smiled softly, givinga small nod, knowing | had clicked on. A derivation of my name... “And it couldn’t be more fitting because she looks just like her namesake.” She said softly | looked down at our pup unable to say anything, the emotions were fucking makinggo blank. Fuck I think her emotions were seeping through the bond, ‘cause | don’t get this emotional, right. Yeah, they were hers, | ain't this fucking soft.4 “Do you like it?” She asked, makinglook at her, trying to make sense of the influx of emotions that consumed me.

“Yeah, it’s... Do | really deserve to have a pup named after me?” | asked quietly. Her eyes glittered with tears as her smile faded away. “Shit, don’t cry. Fuck, I didn’t mean to make you cry.” | said brushing the first of her tears away. “Then don’t ever ask do you deserve it or not. She is lucky to be named after a true king in all aspects, and even luckier to have you as her father.” She said. “I love you Alejandro and please, never ever think you don’t deserve anything. You are one of the most incredible beings | know.” “Yeah, well thanks to you. | won't, ok?” | said wrapping my arm around her shoulder tighter. She rested her head against my chest and | ran my fingers through our pup’s hair with my other hand. “I can’t believe she’s here,” Kiara whispered softly. “Yeah? She was a few days late though.” “I know but it’s still a miracle.” It was, there was just something inexplicable about witnessing our pup cinto this world. Seeing the miracle that Kiara was a part of... “Yeah, it is. How are you feeling?” “Tired...” She whispered smiling up at me. She must be, she had been at this on and off but the last few days had been killer, not to mention her seventy-two-hour labour had been really fucking draining for her. “Sleep, I'll take her to meet the rest.” “I want to shower first, but | am exhausted.” She said wrapping a shawl around Alessandra, who had fallen asleep already, a dribble of milk at the corner of her mouth.

“She needs burping.” Kiara murmured, as she passed her toand | mind linked the doctor to cback. “I'll deal with her.” “Con little one, let's meet the rest of the fuckers.” The moment the door opened, and Linda stepped inside, | walked past her and looked at the crowd that awaited us. Kiara’s parents, Maria, Delsanra, Rayhan, and then there were my three pups. “Can | see her?” Dante asked quickly, | smirked as | lowered her to her siblings. - Kataleya and Skyla rushed forward as well, excitement clear in their faces. “Oh, she’s so cute.” Kataleya exclaimed, kissing her cheek tenderly. “She’s my minion.” Skyla breathed in awe.

“She's perfect.” Dante said as Azura cover and nodded her agreement, kissing her feet. “I have such a beautiful niece.” She said, sounding way fucking older than she was. “You made a cute baby Alejandro, well done!”:22 Her words made everyone laugh and | smirked at her. “Thanks, kid.” “Here you go, another granddaughter for you.” | said, holding her out to Elijah with a smirk. Before he could even take her, Scarlett - stepped forward, quickly taking her fromas Elijah smiled, looking down at her. “She’s beautiful, have you got a nyet? “Scarlett asked, kissing the baby as Delsanra and Maria gathered around her. “Alessandra.” | said gruffly. As expected, Now Life all eyes turned on me, and | glared back” | didn’t choose it, Kiara did.” “It's perfect.” Maria said softly. “I like it too!” Azura added. | smirked, ruffling her hair as she kissed Alessandra’s hand. “I'm your aunty, and us A girls stick together, ok?” O. “Raihana’s on her way.” Rayhan smirked just as | heard the sound of heels. “I want to see my baby cousin!” She said with excitement, holding her own baby, who was six weeks old, in her arms.

Maria took Heaven from her as Raihana scooped Alessandra away from Scarlett. Everyone began gushing over her again and | glanced over at Heaven, who was eating her hand contently. She was a cutie, with light brown hair and brown eyes. | glanced back at the open door wanting to see my queen again. “She’s not wearing a nappy, I'll clean her up myself once they weigh her and do the checks.” Scarlett was saying. “Raven and Liam are on the way too.” Rayhan added. | zoned them out, simply watching them all talk and chatter. Kataleya was improving a little, although she still wore the necklace at all times, she carried her teddy less. Although she still tried doing everything with one hand. Delsanra was working with her, but it was going to take time... | glanced back at the door to the room as Scarlett stepped forward. “How is she?” “Tired but good, she went to shower.” | told her with a jerk of my head. Scarlett nodded and | realised she needed to see her daughter, so when | heard Kiara emerge, | motioned for her to go in. “She’s out, go.” She gavea grateful smile as she hurried inside. “Kiara, congratulations my baby!” “Mom...” “She's beautiful... I'm so proud of you...” | leaned against the wall, giving them sspace as Elijah.stepped up, leaning against the wall next to me. “Still feels surreal right?” “Yeah, can’t believe I'm a dad of four now. “I crossed my arms, looking at my little one in Rayhan’s arms as Delsanra whispered something in baby talk to her.

“Yeah, you fucking beat me, now don’t go making my daughter go through that again. Besides, you ain't fucking young anymore.” He said cockily and | smirked. “Do you really wantto answer that?” asked cockily.

“No.” Elijah replied and although we didn’t bother turning, | could feel two pairs of eyes were watching us, my own green-eyed Lucifer incarnate and the Westwood devil. “Good.” | remarked, about to reach for a cigarette before | decided against it. After a few more minutes | knocked and Kiara told us to enter. The kids ran in first, hugging her. Linda had gotten the room cleaned up and the sheets changed. “Mama, are you ok?” Kataleya asked softly. “I'm perfectly fine, my baby.” Kiara responded kissing and hugging them all. | heard Delsanra Whisper a spell before she hugged Kiara and | knew she was healing her. One by one, they congratulated her. | gave them space, although all | wanted was to hold my queen in my fucking arms. | watched as Elijah stroked her hair. It madethink that one day, my girls would have their own mates... how was | going to deal with that shit? Whoever my girls were mated to, better treat them right or | fucking swear, I'll destroy them.. An hour had passed, and although Kiara had wanted to rest, everyone was too excited. Finally Scarlett had to firmly get everyone to leave, telling Kiara, who had just finished feeding Alessandra, to get srest. It was finally just the three of us in the now dimly lit room. “I'm sorry you didn’t get to rest.” | said quietly. Kiara yawned as she stretched, making her shirt strain against her breasts. “Its fine, Delsanra healed me, so | feel so much better.” She said yawning again. “But you need sleep, you've not slept properly in three days.” She nodded before scooting over on the bed. “Then choldso | can sleep, I've missed having you pressed againstfully.” a | smirked, | fucking missed that too, although I had enough fun either way. | slid into the sheets beside her and lifted her head onto my arm as | pulled her close. “I love you, Amore Mio.” “I love you too, my love.” As much as | could fucking talk to her forever, | needed her to get srest. “Sleep.” | said huskily as | claimed her lips in a deep kiss.

“Mm.” She agreed, her eyes fluttering shut as she kissedsoftly, before snuggling firmly against me. Although | knew I'll have a fucking hard-on despite the lack of sleep, | was just glad the labour was over, and our little princess was by our side...

Welcto the family, little one.
