Her Cold-Hearted Alpha novel Chapter 20

KIARA

There was something between Alejandro and me. I don’t know what it was but I saw the way he didn’t even bother to look at the women who wanted a sliver of the Alpha Kings’ attention. But when he would look at me, I did not miss the hunger in his dark onyx eyes. He could deny it all he wanted but I got his heart racing too, just as he did mine. What was i Soon I knew he’d be leaving and returning to his own pack. Just the thought made me and my stomach sink. I was totally confused; I mean, the guy got me so worked up that we were constantly at each other’s throats.

I wasn’t weird. I had never been attracted to anyone so strongly before – then there was the fact that he was thirty-four! That i n itself shocked me, he was almost double my age. If Dad knew what went through my mind, I’m sure he’d lock me in the cells for the rest of my life. Things with Damon had been kind of strange. I mean, he was quieter, and I knew our ‘breakup’ had affected him. the night after the attacks I went to see him , w e did end up having sex but for the first time , I found it hard . Although he was as amazing as ever , I couldn’t stop the guilt that filled me . Guilt that had no basis to be there . I couldn’t forget his quiet words when we had simply laid there . ‘ I’ve already lost you . ‘ I wouldn’t forget them , but it also made m e realise that I had hurt him .

It only added the need to leave the pack . To just have a little break to come to terms with it , as well as having space to breathe . Coming to that ; I hadn’t asked Dad again , I mean , a lot had been going on . It had been two days since the attack . We had lost 4 men and 1 woman . Kimberly Stone , the sweet twenty – five – year – old nurse who had been pregnant . The funerals were held yesterday and security had been tightened considerably . We had just finished training for the morning and I had just showered and got dressed in pink leggings and a white chiffon tunic . I paired it with white sandals and pink feathery earrings to complete my look .

complete my Toon . ‘ Kiara , come to my office at the packhouse . ‘ Dad’s voice came through the mind link . ‘ Bring Raven too . ” I frowned . Did I mess up again ? What did I do now ? ‘ Ok . ‘ I quickly sent Raven a text and headed out . Seeing Damon standing with Liam , I paused on the bottom step . I hadn’t seen him since the other night when I snuck out of his bed , although he had said to stay the night , I hadn’t been able to . Our eyes met and my heart raced.co ” Morning . ” He said , breaking the silence . I could see Liam observing us sharply . ” Morning , you weren’t at training . ” I replied smoothly . ” F ” I was setting up some sensors around the pack grounds . ” ” Oh , no wonder … ” I replied . Goddess , don’t let me make this awkward . ” Anyway , I need to go , Dad’s called me to his office at the packhouse . ” ” You too ? ” Liam said , frowning .

” Why ? You two as well ? ” Damon nodded as he exchanged a look with Liam . ” Weird , he called Raven too … ” I added . ” Let’s get going then . ” Liam said pushing open the front door , and the three of us stepped out . Five minutes later , we all entered Dad’s office only to find Mom , Beta Aaron – who I called uncle and Damon’s dad there . As well as Alejandro and one of the men who had come with him – Dustin , I think it was . I wonder what this was about … ” Come in . ” Dad said from where he sat on his chair , like the Alpha he was . Mum was seated on his leg . Uncle Aaron and Dustin were sat in the seats opposite dad .
