Her Cold-Hearted Alpha Chapter 16

A Hopeful Suggestion

KIARA

When Dad walked in , the rage on his face was palpable . I knew he was angry at me but I wasn’t

wrong either . ” Elijah . ” Mom began . ” Not now Red . This time I’m not going to listen . ” He said

quietly . ” I think we all need to calm down first . ” Liam said . Forever the peacemaker in the family , but

I was glad he wasn’t angry ; I will talk to him about Damon later . I owe him that much . ” Don’t tell me

to calm down . ” Dad growled . ” Elijah baby , he’s right . ” Mom said as she walked over to him ,

wrapping her arms around him and burying her head in his neck . The frown on his face didn’t let up

but I sensed him calming down , although he was fighting to stay angry at me .

” Let’s talk calmly . ” She whispered into his ear . Goddess . The magic mom had to tame dad was

impressive . But before dad could reply the doorbell rang and I was hoping whoever it was , came with

a distraction that would stop this from getting worse . I’d rather talk to dad when he was calmer . The

familiar scent made me smile as granddad walked in . ” Do you ever do anything but shout Elijah ? ” ”

Seeing your face isn’t helping . ” Dad said , although he met his father with a small smile and a hug .

Grandad then gave mum a huge bear hug , before meeting Liam . ” Do you kids no longer shower after

training ? I mean , you two stink . ” He said , making me feel embarrassed . 2 ” Oh my god is it that bad

? What would have- ” I stopped myself thinking , I was about to say Alpha – Alejandro … Goddess , I

needed t o stop thinking about him .

” Yeah , it is awful . Now both of you should go shower , then we can have a drink . Scarlett , any of

your bakes available ? ” ” Doesn’t mama bake anymore for you ? ” Mom teased as I rushed from the

room first , ignoring the pain my ankle . It was , after all , ever – present . 1 ” Not as much . She says

she’s retired ! ” I heard Grandad complain . I smiled , how I missed them . It was always nice when they

visited . ” Kia ! ” Liam called just as I reached the top step . I stopped as he climbed the steps 3 at a

time before stopping in front of me . I looked up at him and he sighed . ” I’m sorry about flipping earlier

… It’s still weird for me , but I know you’re not a kid anymore . ” 11 Wow , was Liam actually apologising

? He really was a softy at heart .

I felt guilty too , I shook my head . ” No , I’m sorry too . We’ve called our agreement off . Besides , we’re

at the age where we need to find our mates … So … Yeah . ” I shrugged and he looked at me with

sadness in his eyes . ” I hope I wasn’t the reason for it . ” ” Not really . But you’re right , someone could

get hurt . ” ” There’s one more thing . ” He said hesitantly . I looked at him curiously , waiting for him to

continue . ” I didn’t mean to suffocate you . I know you say it a lot but I never realised it was s o bad

that you want to leave and go elsewhere . ” He said , trying to hide how m y words had affected him . I

had hurt him . The very thought made my chest clench painfully . This wasn’t my aim . I shook my head

and wrapped my arms around his waist . ” I know , but I just want to do stuff without everyone worrying

for me . To be more than the Alpha’s daughter . ” I whispered , inhaling his comforting scent . Grandad

was right , we did stink . ” I’ll support you .

When we discuss this with dad , I promise I’ll be on your side . ” H e said , kissing the top of my head .

11 ” Thanks . ” ” Come on , we better get- Whoa , you’re still bleeding a little … How hard did he hurt

you ?! ” ” Long story – I pissed the king off . ” I said . His eyes flashed and he growled . ” He hurt you

that badly ? ” 11 it . ” Liam ! You’re doing it again ! I did ask for ” I sighed and smacked his arm .

Seriously , it was my fault . Don’t get so overprotective . We both know that if he wanted , I’d be dead

right now . ‘ ” True . Seriously Kia , stop pissing him off . I don’t even know how you can handle his

presence . 1 11 ” Hmm , no idea – he’s a jerk . ” I said , although I had to admit that he was a really hot

jerk . ” Well see you downstairs , I better go shower . He nodded and I gave him a smile before walking

off to my room .

I was hoping with Grandad here he may be on my side , because I was serious , I needed a break from

this pack . Yes I loved it , but I wanted to be able to live independently , even if it was just for a short

time . 1 It was an hour later and we were all seated with mom’s freshly baked chocolate muffins and

tea in front of us . I had just told Grandad that I wanted to move to another pack , as experience to

learn more about herbs and to apply my knowledge somewhere . ” It’s just I want to do something

useful without being treated special . I love our pack , but I just need a break . If I could go for a few

weeks or so just to learn something new . There are several packs with the best doctors and if I could

spend a little time there , it would be great . Just think , you know I love medicine and herbs .

Dad , I wouldn’t even get in trouble because I’d be doing something I love . ” I finished . ” I think it’s a

fair suggestion . ” Mom added . ” You will probably leave once you find your mate … Although I’d like it

if your mate were here … ” Dad said frowning . ” Like who ? ” Liam asked , drinking his glass of milk .

The baby didn’t drink hot drinks , but he had milk in the morning and at night . I smirked slyly as I

looked at his milk moustache . Should I sneak a picture ? I bit into my muffin just as dad spoke . ”

Damon , he would be ideal . ” I choked on the big bite I had stuffed in m y mouth . It was now Liam’s

turn to smirk , thumping my back . ” Damon huh ? ” He asked , his brow furrowed . ” Yeah , he’s a good

kid . ” Dad replied . Dad just wanted me forever close to him . Yeah , I’m sure he wouldn’t think that of

Damon if he knew he had been between m y legs often enough for the last two years … I felt a little

guilty thinking of Damon .

H e hadn’t been on the group chat either . Although we three could mind link , we liked some normality

and Raven didn’t have the link yet , so it was only fair to use phones . I wonder how he was feeling . ”

You’re saying Damon because he’s the only decent one around , but the past doesn’t define someone .

You should know that . ” Mom said from where she was sitting in dads lap . ” I won’t deny it , but my girl

deserves the best . ” I rolled my eyes . Typical dad comment . ” Well , it could also be karma , if her

mate turns out like you . ” Grandad added chuckling . 2 ” I think … If Kiara wants to go somewhere for a

month , I mean the blood moons in about four weeks . Why not let her ? ” Liam said hesitantly , trying

once more . I take back what I said earlier . He really wasn’t a s bad as dad . I felt a leap of happiness

at his words , he really was supporting me . Mum and dad exchanged looks and I wondered what it

was about . After a moment , dad sighed deeply . ” I’ll think about it . But until I do , I want you on your

best behaviour . ”

What was I ? Ten ? Dad was so overbearing ! I pouted but didn’t argue . If I wanted an outlet , then this

might be the way . I just had to be a little patient . ” So , I think that’s settled . ” Mom stated , giving me

a positive smile . ” I should hope so . You can’t be so controlling son . ” Grandad added but dad didn’t

speak . 4 From the slight faraway look in his eyes , I knew he was being mind linked or linking

someone . He stood up suddenly , looking a t Liam . I could feel his power and the seriousness in his

next words , and it made my stomach twist . ” There’s been an attack . On pack grounds .
