Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

KIARA

The moment that red-headed bombshell wrapped her arms around Alejandro’s neck, I felt a painful stab in my chest. My wolf was hurting and so was I. I tried my best to mask my emotions as I took my phone out of my pocket and whispered an excuse me whilst I walked away. It hurt like a bitch. Why though? We were nothing. Breathe girl you got this. I took deep breaths as I walked away. No, I was not going to cry, nor was I going to show I cared.

I came to an abrupt stop before I almost knocked into none other than Carmen. She looked at me, with barely disguised resentment.

“Watch it pup.” She said.

“I didn’t bump into you, so watch your attitude.” I snapped back. Don’t mess with me. I don’t care if you’re the fucking warrior princess or the Lycan king himself when I’m pissed, I don’t like anyone in my way. The confusion and pain I’d felt had now moulded into annoyance and irritation.

Her lips curled but she said nothing.

“With an attitude like that, you won’t get far with the king.” 11

“Who said I was trying to get far with him?” I countered coldly.

I pushed past her and stormed off back towards Alejandro’s mansion, I was no longer in the mood to loiter around. I decided on taking a long shower and napping, I needed to cool off and I remembered my promise to Dad to behave … I had told Doctor Callum I’d come to the hospital from tomorrow and I was looking forward to it.

The sound of Ava Max’s ‘Kings and Queens’ awoke me from my slumber and I growled in frustration. The glowing screen of my phone was the only light in the darkness, I reached for it and saw Liam’s face on the screen. Sighing, I answered it.

“Yeah?” I groaned.

“Were you really sleeping? Raven said that, but you’re not the type to nap unless you’re mad…” He trailed off, realizing he had hit the nail on the head.

Smartass, guess that’s what happens when you’re twins.

“Yeah and like I promised Dad, I’m behaving.” I grumbled.

“Haha, serves you right.”

“You’re being annoying.” I muttered, trying to feel for the lamp in the darkness, before it came on by a simple touch. I smiled; touch lamps were convenient.

“So, I called to tell you Aunty Indy’s getting back in like a weeks’ time, so you’ll get to see her there.” He said.

My eyes flew open and I all but screamed i n excitement.

“Wait! Really?! I thought she wasn’t getting back until after the blood moon?!”

“Things changed; her mate’s done his job.

“I can’t wait.”

I smiled, my excitement only growing. Aunty Indy’s mate was part of Alejandro’s pack. Being a warrior of his, they travelled a lot and we rarely saw them. It seemed like a fun thing to do, not for me, but it kept Aunty Indigo busy.
