Her Cold-Hearted Alpha Chapter 96

Lies

ALEJANDRO

I didn’t even register Kiara’s gasp as I placed my arm around her waist , holding her close . I stepped

back , placing distance between the Rogue King and I as I stared a t the woman before me . It was her

… yet it wasn’t … I didn’t know what to think .

That day , coming to and seeing those body pieces spread across the floor . Her hand … Her ring …

The guilt that I had killed her … I didn’t want to believe it … The woman I remembered as my mother

was nothing like the woman before me .

She was … kind … sweet … loving … Rafael reminded me of her … a lot . Not only did I feel like my

whole fucking life was a lie … But it meant that even before her ‘ death ‘ … She couldn’t have love me

… or she wouldn’t have made me go through that shit … Through the pain and shock , I was feeling

the stark truth that she had faked her death , and it hit me like a fucking hard slap across the face .

She had let me live with the guilt that I had murdered her . Because of that , I was afraid to be around

those I cared for . I told myself I didn’t care … Shut everyone off … My heart was pounding and if it

wasn’t for Kiara’s presence , I don’t know what I would have done .

All I know is if she hadn’t done that … I wouldn’t have become so fucking closed off … I had still killed

the man who angered me but not the mother I loved . Or should I say the mother I thought I loved , i t

seems I didn’t even know her … ” Alejandro …

” She spoke , a smile on her face . It made me sick . Despite her scent being familiar , I realised that I

couldn’t smell her wolf . Did she sacrifice it for power ? Just the way she had done for the women a t

Zidane’s pack ? ” Don’t stand there and fucking call my name as if nothing happened . ” I spat coldly ,

my aura fully unleashed as it filled the room like a blanket . I saw the flash on the rogue fucker’s face at

the level of my power . Yeah , he may be strong , but I was fucking stronger . ” It was all for a cause ,

Alejandro …

You have become the man I wanted you to become . ” She said stepping closer . I saw Kiara’s aura

flare around her . ” Stay away . ” She growled . The power emanating from her was fucking strong .

It was blazing around her , but unlike last time when I couldn’t even get close , it wasn’t affecting me .

Sure , I felt the pressure , but it wasn’t fighting against m e . I watched the witch , not sure if I should

call her Endora or Mathilde because I sure as fuck would never address her as Mom again … She lost

that right the moment she played dead .

I guess I’ll go by her real fucking name … She paused , and I didn’t miss her tense at Kiara’s power . ” I

am talking to my son , a son whose mate turned out to be most ideal … ” She said , her eyes travelling

over Kiara . ” If you even for one fucking moment think that I’d ever side you , then you are fucking

delusional . ” I spat . ” All these fucking years you’ve been alive … ” She smiled slightly .

” I had to do what was needed . ” She said , her eyes glinting . The story the witch had told us about

her past flashed through my mind . She had always been a hybrid … but she kept it hidden . How ?

Concealment spell ? Probably … ” What the fuck is your plan ? ” I growled . ” To restore the correct

king .

” The rogue fucker spoke . I looked at him , feeling my stomach fucking twist . I knew where this shit

was going … ” Alejandro … Meet your brother , Marcel . ” Kiara gasped as I looked at him . Yeah , I

was kind of expecting that … He looked a lot like Dad … and Rafael . I don’t even know what to make

of this shit … ” I don’t get what’s going on . ” The Rogue , or should I say , Marcel said . Endora

smirked slightly .

Her eyes glowed and I felt the darkness growing . ” You need not think . ” She whispered , her voice

seeming to come from every corner of the room . Kiara tensed as I watched Marcel’s eyes glaze over .

So , he was partially under her fucking control . ” So , this is what you’ve done to your own fucking son

? Made him into a fucking puppet ?

” ” I’ve waited for far too long to let anything stand in my way . Alejandro … Together we can rule more

than just this country . ” She said . Fucking psychotic bitch . Yeah , I knew once I was alone I’d feel this

fucking betrayal , but right now … I was fucking pissed . ” Oh yeah ? What’s your fucking plan then ? I

asked venomously .

KIARA I was shocked when Alejandro said ‘ Mom . ‘ The woman he had been beating himself up about

killing was still alive , and worse , she was the one who was behind it all . I could sense his emotions .

He was in turmoil , despite how his facial expression seemed just pissed off , I could sense the storm

brewing within him . I held on to him , hoping that it helped somehow . Now looking at Marcel , I could

see how much h e looked like Rafael .

They looked around the same age as wel

l . ” My plan ? If it’s appealing , will you side m e ? ” Endora asked , her eyes glimmering red as she

looked at Alejandro . I could feel her magic seeping closer . It seemed she didn’t know the extent to my

ability . Even I didn’t , but I would just watch for now … ” Depends .

” Alejandro said . I knew he was smooth enough , but I saw from the small hint of a smirk on Endora’s

lips she wasn’t stupid . ” You have turned into a fine man , Alejandro . ” She said , now playing with an

amulet around her neck . Was that the one Janaina wanted ? I wonder what it does … ” Yeah ,

depends on what angle you look at that shit .

” He growled . ” What about Dad ? I s he dead or is the fucker alive ? ” ” You killed your father ,

Alejandro . My mate … ” Her eyes glimmered with tears that were utterly fake . I could feel her aura ,

sense her emotions and my annoyance was growing . ” Don’t really care . He was a fucker . ” Alejandro

said .

” Yes , of course . ” Endora agreed . No … he wasn’t . I looked at her sharply . She had made him that

way … I was sure of it . It was one of those things I could just sense … Alejandro frowned . ” Fine . So ,

what’s your fucking plan and who the fuck is he ? Like , how did you have another son no one knew of

… ? ” ”

Rafael’s younger twin . I was told by a seer witch that my second born would be a power that could

rival anything . A child who would be powerful beyond measure , a king of our kind , one who would

create his own kingdom and rule us all .

I misunderstood it and thought it meant Marcel . She meant my second pregnancy , not my second

child . Sadly , he was just an average Alpha . ” I didn’t miss the bitterness in her voice .

” So , you fucking raised him to be a fucked up wannabe king ? ” He spat . ” Your father thought he died

in childbirth and that was the plan , then when you were born . I didn’t think much of it , waiting for

Marcel to become what prophecy foretold . A king that I trained him to be . ”

” Wouldn’t Dad have sensed the bond of a second son ? ” ” I’m a witch Alejandro , a hybrid . It isn’t

hard to cut a pack link and your father simply thought his son died …

” Her tiny smile faded . ” But then you were such a strong pup and I realised that the prophecy was

meant for you . I couldn’t take you away from the pack as your birth had drained me of most my magic .

I was weak for years after , only hoping that I could keep my witch side a secret . I needed to leave to

grow and regain my powers , by certain means … ” I knew that she probably meant dark magic .

The world had a balance . Her birthing Alejandro and her powers diminishing were probably meant to

be , but she was working against the very rules and law of nature . ” So that’s why no one knew … and

Dad never realised your truth ? ” Alejandro asked coldly . ” No. ” She said . Lie . I knew that one was a

lie … She had probably bewitched him too . A sudden thought came to me and I frowned …

Did she instigate her mate against Alejandro , s o he would begin to feel hatred towards his own son ?

To make Alejandro become hateful ?

Even though it was just an assumption , I was sure I could be right . It would fit right in … ” So , why the

fuck did you fake your death ? ” Alejandro spat icily . ” Like I said , a cause .

To make you stronger , to show you who you are . So , when the time was right , I would return and

show you where you truly belong . We can rule together . Over all races .

The wolves , the witches and the vampires . With you , a Lycan leading us , the use of a blessed one

and I , one of the strongest witches in the world , we can become a force beyond reckoning ! “
