Her Cold-Hearted Alpha Chapter 25

Her Cold-Hearted Alpha Chapter 25

A Lifestyle I Like

ALEJANDRO

I don’t know what the fuck overtook me but when Carmen insulted Kiara , I lost it . My instincts were

telling me to rip her to shreds but I had tried to keep control , a battle I was losing until she had placed

her hand on mine . I closed my eyes , my assumption that there was more between us only seemed to

be getting further confirmed . That maybe – just fucking maybe , Kiara could be my mate . The thought

sent a knot of emotions through me . I rubbed my jaw frowning deeply . Fuck … If it were … It meant

the Moon Goddess hadn’t forgotten about me …. But wasn’t she at least a decade late ? I had made

up my mind that I was never going t o have someone , and that was what I wanted . Kiara fucking

messed with me . I had more enemies than I’d ever be able to fucking count . I didn’t need a weakness

and that is what a mate would be to me , a weakness I didn’t need nor want .

The blood moon was less than three weeks away and if that was the case , then I needed to skip the

event and avoid Kiara for the night . It was manageable … But then what ? Would she wait a few years

and then move on and choose her own mate ? My eyes flashed red and I felt my anger flare up at the

very thought . I was fucking messed up . I wanted her , yet I hated her . I didn’t want to give her

anything … I had nothing to give her . At the same time , I wanted to keep her to myself , mate or not . ‘

Alpha , we have guests . ‘ One of my warriors mind linked me . ‘ Who ? ‘ I replied . I wasn’t fucking

expecting anyone . ” Alpha Bill and his daughter . ” Fuck , I wasn’t expecting them to show up .

Although I had business with Bill … I didn’t expect him to come so soon . Jasmin was someone I had a

bit of a fucked up relationship with . The occasional fuck partner and someone the council was pushing

me to accept and make my fucking queen .

I had been considering it … but … Kiara . Her green eyes rimmed with that dazzling blue entered my

mind and I knew I was a fucking mess . Well , who says I can’t play , even if I accepted Jasmin …. ?

Maybe I’d hurt Kiara enough for her to hate me and stay away . I didn’t know exactly what I wanted but

‘ Alpha ? ‘ I realised he was waiting for a reply . ‘ Send Darien to greet them and give them housing in

one of the empty apartments . I’ll meet them tonight . ‘ I said curtly . If they came fucking unannounced

, then I was going to keep the dipshit waiting . K Bill had vast unclaimed land , the land I wanted to

search for clues to possible Wendigo or Manangal hideouts . The only problem was , he had a lot of

animals and that land was used a lot for hunting and training .

If I was to follow a trail and track , I needed minimum disruption . Although I was king and I could just

fucking take the land and do what I wanted , I didn’t want those who were behind the Wendigos and

Manangal attacks alerted . Just then , my phone rang and I took it out of my pocket . Well I was

expecting Elijah , but the fucker didn’t seem to want to harass me so quickly . Smart move . The current

call was Rafael’s . I hesitated . Should I answer it ? I rarely talked to him these days … It had been

years since we had much of a conversation He was my only link to the past . The reminder that I too

had feelings at one point . ” What do you want ? ” I answered coldly . ” Hello to you too , Brother . ” His

reply came . I hated it , the warmth in his voice and the fake front of care . ” 1 ” Cut to it , I don’t have all

fucking day . ” ” ” I know , you’re a busy man now . Fucker . ” Don’t put that shit on me .

If you’re done , shall I hang up ? ” ” No , wait , I just wanted to thank you for letting the kids come down

. I appreciate it It means a lot . Raihana’s been on about i t for ages . ” * ” ” Yeah well … It’s you who

never bothered t o bring or send her sooner . Guess no one wants to send their kid to a fucking

monster . Understood . But don’t fucking pretend to thank me for useless bullshit . ” ” That wasn’t my

aim , Al- ” ” You done ? ” I cut in . I hated this . This fucking conversation . All of it . ” Yeah … I guess .

I’ll see you soon , Brother . 11 ” 1 ” Maybe . Or even better , hopefully never . ” I replied , cutting the call

. I clenched my jaw , tossing my phone onto the table .

I hated this whole fucking socialising shit . Sure , Rayhan and Raihana were my nephew and niece …

But did I really know them ? No. Did I want to make links with them ? No. I needed no one . Not now

and not in the future . I liked the way my life was , I didn’t need a place t o call home . Her face flashed

in my mind once again and I closed my eyes . I didn’t need her … O r I was fucking trying to tell myself

that anyway . It was a while later and I had needed to clear my fucking mind , deciding to go stop at the

hospital . Yeah ok , Kiara was probably there … Either way , I was going . I reached the hospital and I

wouldn’t lie , the smell of hazelnut chocolate drowned out the rest of the scents that filled the air and I

let it lead me to her .

Pausing on the way to talk to one or two of my men , checking how they were doing . I now stopped

outside the ward where Kiara was , she had a pair of medical gloves on a Is she was crouched down

near one of my warriors ‘ legs . A sharp burst of jealousy rushed through me as I saw her hand on . his

leg . Callum stood arms crossed , and Serena was smiling as she listened to Kiara . ” So , what would

you suggest miss ? ” Callum asked curtly . The man had an ego but he was an impressive doctor . ” I

know they say bandages should be kept dry etcetera but we aren’t really human .

The correct mix of clove , dhatura and goldenseal soaking on a bandage would ease the pain and heal

any infection caused . We have to remember that although yes , we are part human , we don’t work the

same way . ” Her sexy – as fuck voice came . ” So , you’re saying this works ? ” Callum replied

sceptically . ” It could just cause an infection by getting the wound wet for a long period of time . ” ” I

have tried it , so yes . If Luca here doesn’t mind being the test subject , then you could try it on one of

his wounds and see if it heals any quicker ? ” She suggested , flashing Luca a smile .

My eyes burned as I felt the ugly feeling of jealousy . rise within me and all four turned to me , probably

sensing my fucking aura . ” Alpha ! ” Luca said , as Callum bowed his head respectfully . I walked in ,

looking at Kiara as she stood u p slowly , noting the way her heart raced i n rhythm with the rise and fall

of her breasts . ” What’s going on ? ” I asked coldly . ” You’re not messing with my warriors ‘ healing ,

are you ? ” Yeah , I’ve never cared before but I did not want her fucking hands on another man . Not in

my pack . I glared at her in annoyance . She glared back disdainfully . 11 ” No , I was suggesting

something .. ” An interesting theory … but I have no idea if it will really work … ” ” Let’s try it on me , I

don’t mind checking out Kiara’s method .

” Luca said , giving her a fucking shit – eating grin . Dickhead . I growled and he paled . ” She’s Alpha

Elijah’s daughter . You will address her accordingly . ” I growled . No one had the fucking right to call

her Kiara She raised an eyebrow . ” What is he meant to call me , Miss Westwood ? Kiara’s good . ”

She said , giving him a smile . My eyes flashed and Luca didn’t reply to her . I smirked victoriously – at

least someone got the fucking hint . She looked a t me in annoyance , realising he wasn’t going to

disobey his king . ” I think I get to choose what I want people to call me . ” ” She said , glaring at me . ”

Umm , Madam , Alpha … There are patients here … Would you like to take your lovers quarrel outside

? ” Callum said politely . Kiara gasped and Serena stifled a giggle . ” We – no ! That’s not what –

Goddess ! ” Kiara struggled , trying to get two words out . Serves her damn right … ” Out you go

madam , we will try your theory . ” Callum said . ” Don’t call me madam … ” She pouted . Damn , how

did she pull off fucking cute and sexy in one … ? I sensed Serena watching me and I gave her a

withering glare , making her flinch .

I hated how fucking observant she was . She and Darien were like fucking middle – aged women who

gossiped and jumped to assumptions over every goddamn thing . O k , maybe they weren’t that off on

me and Kiara but still , don’t get in my business . ” You hear the doc . ” I said , glaring at Kiara as I

motioned to the door . She ignored me and looked at Luca . ” It was nice meeting you , see you soon .

If you do test my theory today , we could compare the injuries tomorrow ? ” She said to Callum , who

grunted . I smirked slightly . She sure knew how to get stuff done . ” Yes , yes … We’ll do that . ” Callum

agreed reluctantly .

She flashed him a smile then looked at me . ” After you , Alpha . ” She said this mockingly , stressing

on the word ‘ Alpha ‘ . Damn girl . Continue talking like that and I’ll have you on your fucking knees …

She cocked a brow at me and I walked off , hearing her follow me . ” Your pack’s impressive . ” She

said softly , now looking at me as she fell into step next to me . 11 ” Hmm . ” ” You did a great job . I like

it . ” ” ” ” Not that I need your approval . ” She gave me a dirty look . If I got a fucking pound for every

time she gave me one of her looks , I’d be way richer than I already am . We stepped out of the double

doors and I welcomed the fresh air , mixed with her intoxicating scent . ” I’m excited to work there .

Doctor Callum’s pretty good . ” I glanced at her , watching the sunlight hit her hair .

My breath hitched at how fucking gorgeous she looked right now .. One of the stray strands of her hair

tickled her nose and my fingers itched to brush it aside . I was no longer listening to what she was

saying . I reached out and brushed it aside , making her stop mid – sentence , her beautiful eyes

widening as they looked into mine . ” Alpha Al ! ” Fuck . Jasmin had found me …. Kiara and I both

turned to see the pretty redhead . Jasmin Bloom , 5.10 , grey eyes and a body many women would be

envious of . ” I missed you , handsome . ” With those words , she wrapped her arms around my neck . I

couldn’t respond , a swirl of emotions flitting through me … but above all others I could feel and see

was the hurt and confusion in Kiara’s unique eyes .
