Her Cold-Hearted Alpha novel Chapter 25

ALEJANDRO

I don’t know what the fuck overtook me but when Carmen insulted Kiara , I lost it . My instincts were telling me to rip her to shreds but I had tried to keep control , a battle I was losing until she had placed her hand on mine . I closed my eyes , my assumption that there was more between us only seemed to be getting further confirmed . That maybe – just fucking maybe , Kiara could be my mate . The thought sent a knot of emotions through me . I rubbed my jaw frowning deeply . Fuck … If it were … It meant the Moon Goddess hadn’t forgotten about me …. But wasn’t she at least a decade late ? I had made up my mind that I was never going t o have someone , and that was what I wanted . Kiara fucking messed with me . I had more enemies than I’d ever be able to fucking count . I didn’t need a weakness and that is what a mate would be to me , a weakness I didn’t need nor want .

The blood moon was less than three weeks away and if that was the case , then I needed to skip the event and avoid Kiara for the night . It was manageable … But then what ? Would she wait a few years and then move on and choose her own mate ? My eyes flashed red and I felt my anger flare up at the very thought . I was fucking messed up . I wanted her , yet I hated her . I didn’t want to give her anything … I had nothing to give her . At the same time , I wanted to keep her to myself , mate or not . ‘ Alpha , we have guests . ‘ One of my warriors mind linked me . ‘ Who ? ‘ I replied . I wasn’t fucking expecting anyone . ” Alpha Bill and his daughter . ” Fuck , I wasn’t expecting them to show up . Although I had business with Bill … I didn’t expect him to come so soon . Jasmin was someone I had a bit of a fucked up relationship with . The occasional fuck partner and someone the council was pushing me to accept and make my fucking queen .

I had been considering it … but … Kiara . Her green eyes rimmed with that dazzling blue entered my mind and I knew I was a fucking mess . Well , who says I can’t play , even if I accepted Jasmin …. ? Maybe I’d hurt Kiara enough for her to hate me and stay away . I didn’t know exactly what I wanted but ‘ Alpha ? ‘ I realised he was waiting for a reply . ‘ Send Darien to greet them and give them housing in one of the empty apartments . I’ll meet them tonight . ‘ I said curtly . If they came fucking unannounced , then I was going to keep the dipshit waiting . K Bill had vast unclaimed land , the land I wanted to search for clues to possible Wendigo or Manangal hideouts . The only problem was , he had a lot of animals and that land was used a lot for hunting and training .

If I was to follow a trail and track , I needed minimum disruption . Although I was king and I could just fucking take the land and do what I wanted , I didn’t want those who were behind the Wendigos and Manangal attacks alerted . Just then , my phone rang and I took it out of my pocket . Well I was expecting Elijah , but the fucker didn’t seem to want to harass me so quickly . Smart move . The current call was Rafael’s . I hesitated . Should I answer it ? I rarely talked to him these days … It had been years since we had much of a conversation He was my only link to the past . The reminder that I too had feelings at one point . ” What do you want ? ” I answered coldly . ” Hello to you too , Brother . ” His reply came . I hated it , the warmth in his voice and the fake front of care . ” 1 ” Cut to it , I don’t have all fucking day . ” ” ” I know , you’re a busy man now . Fucker . ” Don’t put that shit on me .

If you’re done , shall I hang up ? ” ” No , wait , I just wanted to thank you for letting the kids come down . I appreciate it It means a lot . Raihana’s been on about i t for ages . ” * ” ” Yeah well … It’s you who never bothered t o bring or send her sooner . Guess no one wants to send their kid to a fucking monster . Understood . But don’t fucking pretend to thank me for useless bullshit . ” ” That wasn’t my aim , Al- ” ” You done ? ” I cut in . I hated this . This fucking conversation . All of it . ” Yeah … I guess . I’ll see you soon , Brother . 11 ” 1 ” Maybe . Or even better , hopefully never . ” I replied , cutting the call . I clenched my jaw , tossing my phone onto the table .

I hated this whole fucking socialising shit . Sure , Rayhan and Raihana were my nephew and niece … But did I really know them ? No. Did I want to make links with them ? No. I needed no one . Not now and not in the future . I liked the way my life was , I didn’t need a place t o call home . Her face flashed in my mind once again and I closed my eyes . I didn’t need her … O r I was fucking trying to tell myself that anyway . It was a while later and I had needed to clear my fucking mind , deciding to go stop at the hospital . Yeah ok , Kiara was probably there … Either way , I was going . I reached the hospital and I wouldn’t lie , the smell of hazelnut chocolate drowned out the rest of the scents that filled the air and I let it lead me to her .
