Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

KIARA

I almost burst out laughing at the way he struggled . I pressed my lips together to stifle the giggle but I still had a huge smile on my face . He was actually trying ? That was cute … Let’s see how long it lasts . He began speaking again and I ignored all the looks we were getting . More so , Alejandro was receiving . After all , the man listened to no one . I felt a fuzzy warmth inside me .

He was trying , and in return , I wasn’t going to press his buttons just to see how far he would go . We both had a long way to go and just acting on our emotions was not going to be enough . ” I want to go with you . ” I said suddenly . All eyes snapped towards me and I saw both Dad and Alejandro frown .

” Kia , it’s really dangerous . ” Aunty Indy sajd , concerned . ” Doesn’t matter . I’m strong and Alejandro will be with me . ” I said , my heart hammering at the thought of going anywhere alone with him … Shit , maybe this was a bad idea .

” I don’t know if that’s even smart … ” Dad said frowning . ” You’re not going . It’s dangerous . ” Alejandro said firmly . ” I can handle myself . I’m in danger no matter where I am … and I’d rather be away from a pack if I have a target on my back . ” I said quietly .

” She has a point . ” Mom said , crossing her arms . ” We can protect you here . ” Aunty Indy said , concerned . Fred simply frowned , remaining silent . I had half a mind to say she couldn’t even protect herself but I wasn’t going to call her out like that . I looked at her , noticing she looked paler than normal . Was she o k ? I focused on her , letting my aura spread towards her , feeling and sensing her emotions .

Pain . She was in pain ? Was it physical or emotional ? ” It isn’t safe , Angel . ” Dad said , snapping me out of my thoughts . ” That’s an insult to the Lycan King himself , is it not Dad ? ” I replied , trying to focus on the present . Attempting to keep my heart steady just saying that , made me realise exactly how powerful and important Alejandro was . ” Kiara … It’s going to be only the two of you . If you are attacked-

” ” I can handle myself . You all seem to forget that I am not an ordinary wolf . ” I said , frowning . ” Powers you don’t really know how to deal with yet . ” Alejandro added . That was not fair , I was doing pretty well ! ” Hey , I have only let my emotions out of control twice and both of those were instigated . ” I said defiantly . ” Ok , how about we settle this with a vote ?

to who he’d side with if it came down to a vote . Darien and Carmen simply stayed silent , watching .

knew they were mind linking . Dad frowned , hesitating . I looked at Alejandro . He had gone quiet , a deep frown on his face . ” Alejandro can decide . ” Dad said after a moment , looking

” Fine . ” He said coldly . I smiled in relief , despite the crazy storm within me . Not only was I able to . contribute … I was also going to be spending time alone with Alejandro … Maybe we could use it to work on stuff … I wasn’t sure …

looking directly at me and sending my heart racing once again . I nodded before he finished off a few smaller things . The meeting was signalled as over and we were all about

frowned as they walked out and Fred followed . I glanced at Aunty and Alejandro , wondering what that was about . I had seen Alejandro show concern before for Aunty … I still wanted t o know what that was about …

nodded , so I closed the door and turned back to Aunty and Alejandro . He looked angry and I knew he was hesitating to say what he wanted . ” Why did you want me here ? ” I asked Aunty instead . Her eyes softened , clearly noticing my annoyance .

fear and worry . ” No … ” ” Thought so . Stop training and take care o f yourself and the pup . I was going to say let Kiara take a look … She’s a healer , if there’s a problem with you , maybe she could fix it . Since she’s here , it seems even

felt he wanted to say something , but instead he turned and left the room . ” Well , shouldn’t you go get packing ?

a small smile . ” Mates … but there’s a lot to work on before I can consider accepting him . He hurt me …. and I’ve

” Kiara . Please , I’m fine . It’s just- ” My brows furrowed ; something was wrong here . ” Aunty , relax … Is there something else bothering you ? ” ” No , it’s just … I’m fine , really , this isn’t necessary . ” She replied ,

” ” What is wrong with me trying to help ?! Don’t you want the child ? ” I asked confused . ” No … Of course I do . ” She said , her eyes looked pained . ” Then … why don’t you want me to check what’s wrong ? ” I asked . A sudden thought
