Her Cold-Hearted Alpha Chapter 47

A Reunion

KIARA

” Please don’t . ” I pleaded . This hurt . He didn’t realise what he was doing to me . Did he just think I

was ok with casual sex ? Yes , I did engage with Damon like that , but that was so different from what I

felt for Alejandro . The attraction towards him often felt like it would consume me completely . The way

his hands gripped my hips , the way his scent made me dizzy in a pleasant way and the ache in my

core , begging to be satisfied by him .

He paused , to my surprise , searching my eyes . I was near tears and I hated feeling like this . ” Don’t

make me fall for you , when I am nothing to you . ” I whispered . I didn’t know why I said it . For him to

just mock me ? This was what he wanted , right ? I didn’t really know ; I wasn’t blind t o the fact that he

was different towards m e but it wasn’t enough to give in when he was engaged to Jasmin .

I don’t even know what I wanted from him . 1 He let go of me and I could hear his heart racing . The

fact that he listened … And didn’t just force himself … ” Thank you . ” I whispered . I squeezed past him

, closing my eyes when I brushed against him completely t o get out . Was he really letting me go ? I

paused , looking back at him . His face was unreadable , and for once , he was silent . I didn’t know

what to make of it . My heart was pounding as I placed my hand on his cheek , the same place I had

slapped him , feeling the slight prickle of his stubble and the definition of his refined jaw beneath my

fingertips .

Feeling him tense under my touch . 1 ” I shouldn’t have slapped you , I’m sorry . ” I said quietly . 2 I

hoped this was the last of our odd run ins . I couldn’t keep doing this . I was about to open the door

when suddenly his strong arms wrapped around me from behind . My eyes widened as I gasped in

surprise . My heart was thumping . Why did his hold feel so … perfect ? I closed my eyes , wishing I

could just stay here , but I knew I couldn’t . He ran his hands down m y arms softly , leaving a trail of

tingles in his wake , burying his nose in my neck and inhaling me deeply . I was beyond confused ,

unable to comprehend what this was .

When had the Lycan King ever shown such gentleness ? My eyes blurred with tears at the foreign pain

that was building in my chest . Why did this feel like a goodbye ? His lips met the corner of my neck so

softly I wondered if I imagined it . Pleasure coursed through me , laced with the pain that this was not

meant to be . I gasped as the first of my tears spilt down my cheeks . His arms loosened around me

and he turned me in his arms . He cupped my face just how he had last night and brushed m y tears

away with his thumbs .

I couldn’t read those dark onyx eyes of his . ” I won’t bother you again . I forget that not everyone’s a

fucking heartless monster like me . ” He said quietly , making me shake my head . He wasn’t a monster

, and he wasn’t heartless . I wish I could say something , but I couldn’t tell him when I was trying t o

hold my tears back . There was so much more to him , just waiting to be discovered *** ” I won’t bother

you from here on out . You’re reckless , beautiful and fucking strong . More than that … You’re perfect

the way you are . Always remember that . ” He whispered .

My heart was pounding and if I was scared to fall for him , then it was too late . He had already made a

space in my heart for himself . I’d never forget those words , their sincerity … Saying I was perfect just

the way I am … That part hit me the hardest . One thing about Alejandro was that he said it as it is . He

leant down and placed a soft kiss on my forehead . Wiping away a few more tears , before he let go of

me and opened the door behind me . I closed my eyes . Why did this feel like the end ? Something

inside me was screaming at m e to stop him , to tell him to give me a chance ? But what would that do

? He brushed past me , his dark eyes meeting mine one final time before he walked out . My eyes

didn’t leave his broad back , with his muscular arms and narrow waist . He walked with power and you

could see that he was the ultimate Alpha , but he was more than the heartless Lycan King everyone

made him out to be .

I knew that much . He protected the werewolf race . If he didn’t care , he could have just lived a life of

luxury and chilled as the King , but he didn’t . He chose to protect those weaker than him . Did

everyone forget that when they called him ruthless and cold hearted ? He didn’t turn back and I

remained rooted in my place . The Lycan King and I were two very different people . Somehow , we

had a connection , but there was nothing more between us .

There couldn’t be . We were worlds apart . I turned away , brushing my tears from m y cheeks , I

needed to be strong . It was for the best . Deep down , I still couldn’t make sense of Alejandro’s actions

, but I wasn’t heal . going to delve into them . I had patients to heal . The day had passed by in a blur . I

went to all the injured , some whilst they slept , others were awake . Secretly healing them . a little . I

could feel it catching up on me but I made sure not to overexert myself or I’d never hear the end of it . I

even saw Carmen in one of the beds . The doctors said she was stable and that was a relief t o hear . I

didn’t like her , but that did not mean she deserved death . T Valentin had also been discharged , as he

was more worried about his mate .

I was a little gutted as I wanted to see him , but I was just so happy he was ok and that he was with his

mate . The entire pack seemed to know about what had happened with Carmen , yet no one dared talk

about it . The fear they felt o f their King was palpable and his rule was absolute . Although the day had

been progressive , m y mind was consumed by the moment I had with Alejandro earlier . The way he

had held me , spoke to me and kissed me … I had returned to the mansion and couldn’t even smell

him around . It looked like he hadn’t come home today . I had showered and taken a nap before I had

been awoken by Raven to say that we were going to go see Aunty Indy . I was excited about that and

hoped it would lift my mood too .

Now dressed in a pretty blue skater dress , I made my way with Raven to her apartment . ” Are you

sure she said to come ? ” I asked curiously . ” Yes , she texted in the group chat . ” ” Oops , I had it on

silent . ” I said guiltily . We reached the block of apartments and made our way up the steps to Aunty

Indy’s door . The door was opened before we could even knock , by a very big man . He had a small

beard , his dirty blond hair pulled u p in a high ponytail . His piercing brown eyes looked us both over

before he pushed past and walked off . I felt something was off .

That strange feeling that I often got overcame me , I didn’t get a good feeling from him . ” Girls ! ” Aunty

Indy said . Bringing me out of my thoughts , as she pulled us both into a tight hug . ” Ouchie ! ” Raven

exclaimed , hugging us tightly . ” Shouldn’t I be the one saying ouchie ? ” I said . ” I mean , you both are

crushing me . ” ” Well , it’s not our fault that you have extra fat in those breasts of yours . ” Aunty Indy

teased . 1 I looked at her amused ; unlike Mom , she was leaner , with defined abs and slightly tanned

skin . Her black pixie cut suited her well and she had several piercings in her ears , as well as in her

nose and eyebrow . I smiled .

This was Raven’s role model growing up . ” So , get inside . We have a lot to catch up o n . ” She said .

” Yes , we do ! When did you get back ? ” Raven asked , as we stepped into the apartment that was

decorated in the modern interior that I was beginning to get accustomed to here . This apartment had a

very homely touch , with a deep terracotta that was incorporated in ornaments , cushions and other

homely touches .

The delicious smell of chicken and vegetables baking in the oven from the kitchen area was ever so

pleasant and I realised I had missed lunch . ” Last night actually . ” Aunty Indy replied . I didn’t say that I

had heard her talking to Alejandro , but I was curious as to why he seemed to have shown a different

side of himself towards her . ” Oh nice , soooo what’s the latest ? ” Raven questioned , dropping onto

the black leather sofa . ” Well , life’s an adventure , getting to see different cities and towns . ” Aunty

Indigo said . ” Gosh , when is the last time we actually saw you ? ” I asked sitting down . ” I think it’s

been over 6 months . ” Aunty Indy said , giving us a small smile . I smiled back . ” I wish you could have

visited more . ” Raven said .” I don’t think Scarlett or Angela miss me much . ” She laughed . ” They do

, Mom may not say it , but you are her little sister . ” I said with a small smile . I saw her smile falter

slightly and I wondered what that was about . ” So enough about me . The food will be done soon , but

before that , tell me how’s the stay in the Night Walkers pack going ? ” She asked , standing up .

She went over to the fridge and took out three cans of Coca – Cola . She tossed one t o each of us and

I caught mine , tapping the top with my nail several times before opening it – a trick Dad taught me

years ago . I smiled softly , feeling a twinge in m y chest . I had seen Mom’s missed calls and Dad’s

messages , but I was really bad them tonight . with my phone . I promised myself I’d call glancing at me

. ” The stay is going kinda ok … ” Raven said ” Really ? Serena told me that Alpha Al attacked Rayhan

… ” Aunty Indy said sharply . ” Yeah , I mean , apart from that stuff it’s been good . ” Raven said

smoothly , opening her can and taking a big gulp . ” It’s been great , I mean for me , being able to help

at the hospital is amazing . ” I said , before I went on to talk to her about my abilities , telling her I had to

keep it secret . Once I was done , we had finished carrying the food to the coffee table and all sat down

to eat .

” So , Aunty Indy tell us , do you know Jasmin ? The Kings ‘ fiancé ? ” Raven asked . For some reason

, the smile that appeared on Aunty Indy’s face made my stomach sink . ” I’m so glad he finally accepted

her , them two go really well . ” She said . ” Honestly , h e took way too long to accept her . ‘ 11 ” You

think so ? ” Raven asked , glancing at me . It was clear she wasn’t expecting this answer . ” Definitely ,

I don’t think there’s anyone else more suited for our King . “
