“One more thing… does killing a djinn undo his magic?” I asked. Silence ensued, but I didn’t miss hersmall intake of breath.

“King Alejandro... you may be a Lycan... but you are treading an extremely dangerous path of thought. To kill a djinn means suffering the consequences. There is always a price to pay to kill an immortal.”

“You didn’t answer my fucking question. Will killing him undo the curse?” She huffed with irritation.

“Yes, because djinns are immortal. As long as they live, their magic is intact. If they are killed, then, yes, with it all, their magic unravels, too,” she replied in a clipped tone. I sat back in my chair, placing my legs on the table and crossing my legs at my ankles.

“Then you know my next question, right? How the fuck do you kill a djinn?”

Brothers

Alejandro

“How the fuck do you kill one?” I repeated, my voice cold and emotionless yet laced with authority that she dared not defy, even if she wasn’t a werewolf.

“I… I do not know.” I didn’t know if I should fucking believe her or not.

“Then how about you try to find out.”

“It could cost you your life,” she replied quietly. Something told me she knew more than she was fucking letting on.

“Well, I’ll be waiting for the answer... I’m sure you wouldn’t care what the fuck happens to me.”

“Not at all, but you are also vital for the balance,” her clipped voice countered.

“I don’t plan to die. Get me the answers I want, or I’ll get them myself. This involves your niece, too, remember?” Although she didn’t go around stating it, Janaina was Delsanra’s paternal aunt.

“She is your family, and I’m sure you will find a solution,” she replied dismissively.

“Yeah, I fucking will, with or without you. So just do as I’m fucking asking. All I need is the answer. I’ll do the rest.”

“Very well,” she said reluctantly after a moment of silence. “If anything happens to you, I will not be responsible to answer to the Queen.”

“It won’t come to that.” I hung up, my brows furrowed deeply.

Killing the alpha behind this was not going to be enough. I knew that I needed to kill the Djinn, too. I threaded my hands together, dropping my legs to the ground and leaning forward. How to kill a djinn…

I wouldn’t just rely on Janaina to find that answer. I’d look for my own, too.

I returned homewhen night had fallen whilst Elijah instantly pulled Scarlett aside, kissing her like he had fucking been away for years. Well, I was just being a fucking hypocrite because when I found my mate, I planned to kiss her until she begged for air.

She had mind-linked earlier to ask if I’d be back by dinner, and I told her we would. The house was a fucking storm of sound, but one that I didn’t really hate. I could hear the girls laughing and shouting in excitement whilst Ahren and Tatum were fighting over a toy. Sienna was toddling along, trying to escape from the room. While Delsanra lay on the sofa with a blanket over her. Raihana was sitting next to her, using her magic to make Sienna do a 180-degree turn. The poor kid looked fucking confused as she kept her balance, blinking those dark grey doe eyes of hers as she realised she was no longer facing the door.

Why the fuck did kids look so fucking deceiving? They were not innocent…

Kiara was trying to soothe the boys, looking fucking smoking hot in that tiny dress of hers. Her sandy brown hair cascaded over her shoulder as she broke up the fight. Tatum ran off with the toy whilst Ahren glared after him angrily. Maria was braiding Skyla’s hair; Azura and Kataleya had similar braids in their hair as they ran circles around Maria and Skyla.

“Who’s fucking annoying you?” I asked Sienna, picking her up as all eyes turned to me. Kiara stood up, coming over as Sienna looked near tears. Yeah, she was at that stage where she got fucking tearful if I picked her up.

“Uncle, hey.” Raihana gave a small wave.

“Hey.”

I pulled Kiara close, kissing her lips hard. Fuck, I missed her. I tried not to pay attention to how fucking good her body felt pressed against mine and those tits… let’s just say I’ll be admiring them later.

“You look fucking divine,” I murmured, slowly kissing her neck over her mate mark. Satisfied with the soft sigh that escaped her, I let go of her, and she took Sienna from me just as she burst into tears. “Pups.”

Raihana stood up, and I walked over to her, giving her a tight hug. She was a decent height, and with her heels, she was nearly six feet.
