Her Cold-Hearted Alpha novel Chapter 22

ALEJANDRO

I raised an eyebrow . What did that even mean ? He sighed , running his hand through his hair and looking at the trees that surrounded us . Only the rustle of leaves or the odd animal could be heard . ” He was trying to take her . I still remember the look in his eyes … He didn’t even look like he was fully there . He didn’t care that I was hacking at him , he was just trying to take her … I brushed it off . There’s been several events but that day … outside the cinema …. the Wendigo didn’t seem to have gone in for the kill . We both know that and we both know how fast they are . Kiara couldn’t have outrun them if they wanted to kill her .

Then at the hospital , of all places , it chose to go there . There are more pups and wolves in the packhouse . ” The fucker was smart . His line of thought matched my own . I stayed silent , letting him speak ” I don’t know why , there’s nothing different about Kiara . but just in case my assumption is correct then Kiara may be the target . ” I scoffed dryly . ” So , you’re sending her to me because you think you can protect your pack like this ? ” ” No – because I know Kiara will go to some other pack , one way or another . She’s Scarlett’s daughter and fucking stubborn . ” He growled . I smirked . ” Seems like Daddy’s little girl isn’t under his control . ” ” She isn’t a child anymore , I know that . S o that was my reason … You don’t seem shocked . ” He now looked at me sharply .

I stayed silent for a moment , her odd aura hadn’t been picked up by him , so there was no point in me telling him that . ” So , you want me to protect her yet you’re sending her right to me , when we both know I’m a fucking monster ? ” I said coldly , avoiding his statement . He frowned at me . ” You’re dangerous , I know that . But you also spend your life protecting the werewolf race . ” He said . ” Only because I’m bored . I enjoy the chase and kill . ” I said arrogantly . He smirked . ” Tell yourself whatever you want to keep u p your bad boy image . You care , admit it o r not . ” He said cockily . This is why I hated him . Dickhead .

He acted like he fucking knew me . ” You do remember , she fucking pisses me off and I don’t mind ripping her head from her body ? ” He growled venomously at me and I smirked . One point for me . ” I know that . I want to ask you , not Alpha t o Alpha … but as a father to the ultimate protector of the werewolf race , will you please protect her ? ” He asked quietly , the arrogance gone . It took me by surprise , as I saw the unmasked worry he had in his eyes . Could a person really change that fucking much for those he loved ? Was it even possible ? Elijah was one of the cockiest men I knew and here he was asking me to protect his girl .

” Kiara has been through so much but she’s resilient , reckless and selfless . She would stand in the line of danger regardless of her own life . I only want you to give me your word that you won’t hurt her . If she pisses you off , ship her back to me . I’ll be having a word with her too . ” ” Ok , I was definitely fucking taken by surprise now . I didn’t expect him , Elijah , t o ever submit like this . Maybe I should ask him to get on his knees and ask me ? I smirked and he narrowed his eyes . ” Don’t piss me off . ” He warned me , as if knowing what was going through my mind . Oh well , maybe next time . ” Fine . I’ll try not to kill her . ” I said , taking a drag of my cigarette . ” Give me your word as Alpha . ” Elijah pushed . The fucker was irritating . ” I’m the fucking king , I don’t take orders . ” I replied coldly . ” I won’t hurt her , she’ll return to you on the blood moon in one piece , ” There I gave him my word ; didn’t mean I wouldn’t emotionally mess with her .

Or sexually … He was start , but it was clear e didn’t realise that there was more between us . Was it our age difference ? Well , his loss . ” Thank you . ” His words held sincerity and for a split second , I felt the strength o f his emotions as our eyes met – but it was only for a split a second . I didn’t do fucking sentimental shit . The next day I awoke to the smell of colate . I definitely wasn’t in heaven , cause I sure as fuck was going to hell . But whatever that was , it smelled good … I got dressed in a pair of black jeans , a black T – shirt and a leather jacket whilst I gathered my things .
