Her Cold-Hearted Alpha novel Chapter 128

KIARA

” Oh , he is adorable . ” Maria said as she carried Dante , planting a kiss on his forehead . I smiled . 11 ” Thank you . ” Although they had all seen him before and we had been here for the last five hours , everyone was still gushing over him .

The men had gone out for a few hours and had returned in time for dinner . We were all in the luxurious lounge of the Rossi mansion . Only when I came here did I realise how wealthy the Rossi’s were ; even Alejandro’s luxury mansion did not exude the same level of elegance .

Leo was sitting on one of the large sofas enjoying himself playing on Rayhan’s Xbox , and Raihana had told him he could take it back home too , stating that Rayhan no longer needed it . Speaking of Rayhan , h e had video – called earlier and I had managed to say hi to Liam too . Alejandro hadn’t really talked to Rayhan .

Even when Rayhan had found out he was awake , he had kind of ignored him , but today they’d had a conversation and I was glad it broke some of the ice between them . Well , from Alejandro’s side anyway . Looking at Leo ,

I could tell that he looked healthier than he had back in the caverns . He had even started school and apparently was doing well . He had first been home – schooled for three months , then sent to school . I hoped he got the life he deserved .

His brown hair was cut . stylishly and his eyes seemed to hold more life than before . ” Yeah , enjoy having him . He’s all Raf’s tonight . ” Alejandro remarked . Maria simply gave a small , polite smile . ” We will enjoy having him .

” She said quietly . I hoped she realised Alejandro was not as bad or as scary as she thought .

She had at least told him she was glad he had woken up . I had also never asked Alejandro exactly what went down between him and Selene , although he had in passing mentioned meeting her .

It seemed like it wasn’t something he wanted to discuss and I respected that . Besides , if he was hiding something , I’d know . This was just something he needed time with .

” You shouldn’t have made so many dishes . ” I said , rubbing my tummy . I had indeed eaten far too much . ” It’s the first time you’re coming to ours a s my sister – in – law . ” Maria stated with a small smile . ” That’s not fair .

You’re already classing them as married , when your dad didn’t even let me have you until we actually got married . ” Rafael grumbled . ” Gross Dad ! ” Raihana exclaimed , cringing . I smiled in amusement .

” Well , that was my dad’s choice , and they are marked , so it’s the same thing . ” Maria retorted , kissing her mate’s cheek . Rafael actually looked gutted . ” Do you know how hard it was … ? ” ” We really don’t want to know the fuck

remarked . about what was hard and not . ” Alejandro Marcel smirked . ” No idea how you were born first … ” He remarked as Rafael faked a hurt look . ” I agree with that one . ” Alejandro agreed . ” Leave him alone .

” I scolded . Poor Rafael looked like a puppy who had been kept from his special treat . Well , in a way , he had … I suppressed a giggle at that . ” How did you two meet anyway ?

” Marcel asked . I knew he had been rather reluctant to come , but Rafael had been very proactive i n making a bond with him . He was the one who got Leo set up in school as well . ” Mating ball . ” Rafael said , looking at Maria with dreamy eyes .

” Dad ! You’re getting gross ! ” Raihana said . ” I don’t get why kids think it’s fucking fine to call the parents cringy when they are disgusting little fuckers themselves . ” Alejandro remarked , taking a few gulps from his can of fizzy .

” Actually Uncle , I’m a good girl . ” She replied defensively . ” I don’t believe it . ” Alejandro said stubbornly . ” Well , believe what you want . Do you awful ? ” know that all the men in this pack are ” ” Men ? Raihana you’re sixteen , you shouldn’t even be thinking of the men . ” Rafael replied , narrowing his eyes . Well …

I sure thought of Alejandro despite him being sixteen years older … ” Dad , you should be worried about Rayhan , not me . ” She complained , coming and sitting next to Alejandro . ” Right Uncle ? Boys are worse , right ?

” ” Yeah , agreed . You got that right , he’s definitely a boy , not a man . ” He mocked a s Raihana snickered at her brother’s expense , high fiving her uncle . The poor guy wasn’t even here to defend himself . a I shook my head , smiling slightly .

It was clear Raihana and Alejandro had a bond that was getting stronger . I liked that , unknowingly , he was letting people in .

Alejandro put his arm around me and kissed me softly . ‘ What’s on your mind ? ‘ ‘ You . ‘ I replied , kissing him back . My heart was pounding as sparks rushed through me , and I had to bite back the moan that threatened to escape .

‘ What’s wrong , Amore Mio ? ‘ His voice came through the link as he pulled me close , his hand raking down my back . Oh , goddess , I couldn’t wait till tonight … ‘ Nothing at all . ‘ I replied , sounding breathless .

He smirked against my lips , moving back a s he licked his lips slowly . All I wanted was that tongue all over me … Even though we could barely keep our hands off each other , Dante didn’t make it easy for us to simply relax and let loose .

It was a short while later , Leo and Raihana had left , leaving just the adults in the room . Rafael had a game of cards on the table and the three brothers were playing as Maria had placed drinks for them . Both of us were not drinking as we sat beside our mates and I fed Dante under a shawl . Despite me wanting to spend the night with Alejandro , I was going to miss Dante .

It would be the first night he’d be away from me , although Maria had assured me i t would be ok . ” This is something Alejandro and I wanted to give you . ” Rafael said , leaning under the table and taking out a file .

I looked up as he passed Marcel the file . The man frowned as he took it and flipped it open . ” I can’t accept that . ” He said , placing the file down and sliding it back towards Rafael . ” Seriously , don’t be fucking stubborn . ” Alejandro growled .

” He’s right , you are our brother and this belongs to you too . ” ” It doesn’t . Your dad … didn’t even know about me , so I don’t have a right to ” anything that belonged to him . ”
