Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

KIARA

” Amore Mio ‘ … My love in Italian … The words Alejandro had said before he left the kitchen . Words that only gave my wolf hope whilst creating uncertainty and curiosity about what the future might hold . These words filled my mind and entered my restless dreams . Dreams where he marks Jasmin , tells her to ignore me before they walk away . Dreams that hurt .

The scene constantly changed from his whispered words of sweetness to him turning his back on me . ” Rise and shine Kia . ” Mom’s voice made my eyes open suddenly . ” Mom , ever heard of knocking ? ” I asked , rubbing my eyes as she pulled the curtains open . She gave me a small smirk . ” Yeah , I just didn’t want to . ” I rolled my eyes , my eyes falling on the two mugs of hot chocolate that sat on my bedside table . I knew she wanted to talk … great … She sat at the end of my bed .

Without her trademark red lipstick that she was rarely seen without , she looked years younger . I swear , we could pass as sisters rather than mother and daughter … although I looked more like Dad . ” How are you feeling ? ” Mom asked , picking up the mugs and passing one over to me .

I scooted up and leant against the headboard . ” I’m … ” Fine . That was the automatic reply that came to my lips , but I wasn’t . ” I t hurts . You know how I always felt about finding my mate and then this happens . ” ” Mom nodded .

” I know you’re angry at me because I didn’t tell you , but there wasn’t anything t o tell . ” ” You know I was angrier because if I knew , I wouldn’t have let you stand by and watch him mock that bond and yourself as he dared to even attempt to take Jasmin as his mate . ” Mom said , her aura filling the room and her eyes flashing silver .

” So , you’re mad because I didn’t react ? ” 1 asked sceptically . ” Yeah , you should have slapped him a few and rejected him right there on stage . I would have loved that . The idiot couldn’t . even take you saying those words in private . Imagine if you did it in front of everyone . ” Mom said , a cold smirk on her face . I nodded . Mom really was epic …. ” Yeah … Mom … I’m not you .

it , I handled this so maturely . It realised you actually makes me really proud of you .

I know he’s your mate , but what he did was wrong . Very wrong . We all make mistakes but even after I got pissed at Jasmin ,

and I won’t forgive her for that , but I also know that’s a very biased opinion as a mother . The situation was messy . We all do and say things we may not mean . Yes , I disliked what Jasmin and Alejandro did , but I love how you handled this like the queen you are . No pun intended . ” I smiled at that . Taking

father also said he has taken care of you . ” Yeah , in more ways than Dad knows … I kept my face emotionless as Mom continued . ” But if he wants you … then make him atone

in your life . ” ” I talked to him last night … He told me his reason … and although I don’t agree

I said yes . ” ” Mm . ” I looked at her , awaiting her reaction nervously . She smiled and nodded after a moment . ” If that’s what

was my mate at the time o r I would have fought for him before I just

you’re a Westwood . I guess like your father , you were bound to get a difficult mate . ” She said guiltily

said . ” Our story had its own hardships … It wasn’t perfect , but that’s what makes it special . ” Mom said quietly . Her eyes were filled with so many emotions and I saw the pain and sadness in them . She smiled softly , playing with the necklace Dad had proposed

One whose heart I will surely thaw … ” ” I said , gazing out at the shining sun . ” You know Mom , he was good to me before this whole mate thing … He said I was perfect the way I was and how he would do his best to stay away from
