Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

Conflict & Hope

OVER FOUR MONTHS LATER

… KIARA

Luna ! Come on , we need to go for a walk ! ” Kevin said , without even knocking on m y office door . I looked at him , my lips refusing to turn u p into a smile to return his big one . ” I need to complete some paperwork , Kevin .

” I replied , as I stood up and shuffled some papers . My stomach was huge , and I was due soon . I placed a hand on my stomach as I bent over to gather some files together . W e were having a baby boy and doctor Callum was stunned at his growth already .

My baby and the fact that my love was still teetering on the brink of death four months onwards was all that kept me going . ” Nope , doctors ‘ orders , a walk and fresh air every day . Come on , let’s talk about the latest Fenty Beauty release ! ” He stated , coming over and taking my hand . I looked at him . He and Carmen were always around me .

Serena , Darien and Tia would often accompany me too . I had returned to this pack four days after the battle with Endora . Alejandro was kept at home , hooked up to the necessary drips and was checked on throughout the day .

Even when I was working , someone was always checking up on him . Otherwise , I didn’t know how I would even leave him .

I had stepped into Alejandro’s shoes with the help of Darien . Being an Alphas daughter I knew enough , with the guidance and help from Alejandro’s men , I was managing . However , with each passing day , I lost a bit more of who I was .

” I don’t think I need any more make up , Kevin . ” I murmured , ignoring the pain in my back . The baby moved a lot and had a habit of digging into my spine . It was clear he was going to be a strong one , just like his Papa .

” Why not ? With such a beautiful face to play with . ” He said , linking arms with me . Because who should I look good for ?

There was a time I dressed up for myself , but the moment I fell in love , my life was n o longer my own . That was my truth . I lived for Alejandro …. I wanted to look pretty for him … I looked down at the t shirt I wore with leggings .

None of my clothes fitted anymore , and although Serena and Kevin had begged to take me shopping or to at least let them order some cute maternity clothes , I refused . I didn’t want anything . I wore my mate’s shirts , it was all I wanted .

Him … I missed his smirk , his dark , piercing eyes , the way he looked at me ….

The way h e held me … Made love to me … Fucked m e … Talked to me … I looked at my ring . The gorgeous diamond sparkled . A symbol of the promise he had made to marry me . ” Luna … ” I looked up and saw the sad look in Kevin’s eyes .

” Yes ? ” I asked . ” About the make – up , I’d say we should get some for when Alpha wakes up .

” He said softly . I didn’t say anything , but no matter how I acted , my pack knew I missed their king . Despite how hard I tried to hide it . Everyone tried to help me , Raihana or Raven came down to stay often , but it was still so hard .

Things hadn’t been . Aunty Monica had closed up and according to Damon , broke down often . But she was still doing better than Grandma , whose health was deteriorating .

The last time I saw her , she looked as if she had aged ten years in the last few months . She was now living at Moms , but it wasn’t easy . easy for anyone ; Dad was holding strong , and as for Mom herself , she was doing her best despite being pregnant .

She was actually due a any day , and we were ready to welcome our little bundle of joys into our family . Mom hadn’t found out the gender , as Aunty Indy had said when she got pregnant she was going to keep it a surprise .

” Can I make my rounds at the hospital ? ” I asked Kevin .

I should visit to see if I can- ouch ! .. Help . ” I finished with a wince , as my baby kicked me hard . ” Oh ,

trying to get out ! ” I exclaimed . ” Come sit down for a moment . ” He helped me over to the closest log that was used as a bench

soon anyway ; a werewolf pregnancy was shorter after all . I sat down stroking my stomach , wincing until he calmed down a little . ” What will you do for the upcoming Blood

hosting the event this time . Have you decided ? ” I looked at the sun that shone above us . It was the beginning of April and spring had arrived . What do

but I couldn’t bring myself to leave Alejandro . ” I don’t want to- ” ” What do you mean you don’t want to ?! You need to go ! ” Serena’s voice came from behind me . I looked at her

my heart clenching with pain . ” Nonsense , if there is any change we will call you back . You need this , Kia . ” Serena said gently , sitting down next to me and taking my hand . ” He wouldn’t have wanted

tears that escaped my eyes . I refuse to cry . ” Ok , I will go for two nights . ” I whispered . Just the

she sat before me , allowing me to get her ready . ” I’m not going . ” She said , suddenly pushing away

Kia … I … I don’t know , I’m terrified . ” She whispered . ” Because of your feelings ? ” I said quietly . Although we didn’t talk

whoever her mate was or both , that they’d accept it . But I had also seen Liam

that clearly affected Liam even more . I had felt his turmoil . He tried several times to talk to me but it had only been last night when he asked me if he thought he had the chance of being mated to Raven . Raven had shifted on her birthday . Her wolf

was hosted by Dad’s pack , and although it was smaller than the mating ceremony that The Night Walker Pack held , it was still pretty big . ” You won’t

, with a thigh – high slit . It was backless , with just two straps holding it in place , with cut out sides showing off her slender

sultry make – u p with a deep maroon lipstick . Silver shimmer covered her body , her neck was bare , and she wore large dangly earrings in her ears . I was dressed in an off – shoulder fitted

I didn’t want to ask you …

there for me and it was only fair that I am there for her . ” Any time . ” I said , as she leaned over and caressed my stomach . ” I’m glad I got to see my nephew

said , smiling proudly . I smiled as I added a little more highlighter to her cheekbones .

nerves were kicking in big time . The party was being held out in the open , lit up

familiar faces . Would one of them be my mate ? I couldn’t see them in the sea of young men and women all dressed up

from the drinks . A lavish array of dipping’s spread out in front of it .

hurried over to the fountain instead , forgetting about the drinks . We both helped ourselves to a stick and began

. ” Kiara said , a gentle smile on her face as she dipped her stick under the chocolate before placing it on her plate and taking a bite . She hadn’t , well , not much apart from on

she was trying to eat for the baby , but I also knew she was reminded and forced to eat most of the time . I rarely saw her smile , and when she did , it held so much sadness that I wished I could take it all from her

to be happy . I put my plate down and cupped her face , brushing away her tears that escaped

my mate seeing me looking like this , chocolate dripping from my lips , I needed a tissue . I put my plate down , about to pick some up when the most delicious mix of scents hit

walnuts , fresh rain , spiced cinnamon and honey … Scents that drowned me … Scents that were faintly familiar

and if I thought they were handsome before , Goddess , they were complete sex invites now ! Both of their eyes were

Kiara gasped , one hand clamping over her mouth . I swallowed , forcing myself to
