Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

KIARA

I knocked the door to Valentin’s apartment and it was opened quite soon b y a young woman , who was heavily pregnant . Instantly I realised why Callum had said it wouldn’t be ideal … ” Can I help you ? ” She asked . I could tell instantly she was stressed , tired and distraught . I could also see she had been mated into this pack because she lacked the muscles of the females of this pack . ” I’m just someone from the hospital , I just 11 ” No ! Selene no ! ” My eyes widened in surprise , realising what she was assuming . ” No no ! He’s fine ! I mean , he’s still healing but his bloods are looking better than yesterday . ” I said quickly , placing m y hands on her shoulders and gently giving them a squeeze . ” Oh … But there’s not much hope for him is there ? ” She whispered .. I gave her a small smile . ” There is always hope . I came here for something actually . ” I said gently . ” Sorry I didn’t get your name . ” She said . ” Oh sorry , I’m Kiara and yours ? ” ” Jean . ” She said . ” Jean .

Well , I was wondering if I could have some worn clothes , bedding , anything with your scent on it . I think it would help Valentin feel at peace …. I know you can’t be there but I think your scent would calm him . ” I asked gently . Not wanting to stress her out . She stopped and looked at me . ” Do you think it would help ? ” She asked . I saw the hope in her eyes and I swear I a m going to make sure he’s ok ! ” I think it will . ” I said with resilience . She smiled and nodded . ” Then I’ll go get you some items ! ” She waddled off and I wondered how far along she was . She looked to be near the end of her third trimester and I wished Valentin could be by her side when she gave birth . She was back soon enough and gave me a tight hug as a thank you .

With reinforced determination , I took the large bag of clothing and headed back to the hospital , lugging the heavy bag with me . I ignored the looks I got from some of the doctors and nurses as I had to ask someone to let me in , Doctor Callum didn’t have a pass ready for me yet . Once I was in the ward , I entered Valentin’s room with three items from the bag . I placed them under his head as I stroked his head gently . The room smelt slightly better with the windows now open , although they were just small vents right at the top , every little helped . ” Jean sends her regards ; she’s waiting for you . ” I said , hoping he could hear me and hopefully smell her scent . He seemed to calm down and the two guards exchanged looks .

, her voice was a lot softer .. ” I don’t have time

, he could do it on his own . I was not going to let him walk all over me . I took a quick shower , seeing that most of the hickeys had vanished apart from one o r two that left a slight bruising . By nightfall , I was sure they’d be gone too … I traced

now I’m worried . ” I’m sorry . I know I was a bit harsh earlier ” I’m sorry for hiding stuff too . ” I said , sighing as I hugged her back . Glad that things were ok between us . ” Good , now how about you get that sexy ass of yours downstairs and let’s bake . Raihana somehow got him to agree to a 11 movie . ” I’m surprised . It doesn’t seem like it’s something he’d do . ” I said , as we left the bedroom , my hair was still wet and my face was make – up free . ” Yeah , well , he said he will be the one to choose

will be here for the movie in under an hours time . ” ” Yeah , I’m making brownies , so no one else make brownies . ” Jasmin said with a toss of her gorgeous hair . I didn’t bother replying and instead began doing a loose plait in my hair just to keep i t out of my way . I didn’t have a band to tie it back so left it , as long as it got me through my baking . ” Well , I’m making fairy cakes . ” Raven said confidently . ” Girl , can you bake ? ” I asked her sceptically . ” 4

who worked here , they were barely seen around . Even at dinner last night , I hadn’t seen who served . I learned that they were twin sisters who both lost their mates to a rogue attack . Carla and Claire . They were i n their mid – thirties and originated from Alejandro’s brother’s pack . Jasmin kept making a mess and taking up more than half of the huge kitchen . I worked slowly , too lost in thought as I tossed my mixture together . Only stopping to answer a video call from Mom and Dad . ” Angel ! ” Dad said the moment he saw me . I saw him look me over . ” Hey Dad , Mom .

frowning a t my top . ” What’s the big deal ? ” Mom asked him . ” Rayhan’s there . ” I rolled my eyes . Dad , you’re way off the mark . It’s not Rayhan that you should be worried about … I saw Raihana watching me , I gave her a small smile and motioned her over . ” Dad , Mom , we’re not alone . Raihana’s
