Her Cold-Hearted Alpha novel Chapter 35

KIARA

I froze and I felt Alejandro stiffen . I pulled away as if his touch burnt . ” Slut . ” Jasmin’s quiet voice came . ‘ Slut ‘ Alejandro had called me the same . If I knew … An excruciating pain pressed against my chest , suffocating me . I felt like I was being forced underwater . I couldn’t breathe . I turned and rushed to the door . The strip of light was the only thing guiding me , I stumbled as my hands desperately felt around for the door handle . When I sensed another presence and Raven’s scent filled my nose , then the door was pulled open by her . I stepped out and rushed for the stairs . ” Kia … ” She whispered but I couldn’t look at her as I ran up the stairs and straight to my room .

I was about to lock the door when she slipped inside just before I could slam it and locked it for me , pulling me straight into her arms just as I broke down . ” I didn’t know . ” I whispered as she lowered us to the ground . ” Oh , he is such a fucking bastard . ” She hissed as she caressed my hair . I could feel her anger and sadness . Why hadn’t I listened ? A loud sob escaped my lips and I clamped my hands over my mouth to muffle the sounds . It hurt , so much . Why did he play me when he had someone ? And then kissed me in front of her ? I rocked myself , trying to ease the pain that was battering my chest .

Raven hugged me tightly but it wasn’t enough . ” It’s ok … It’s going to be ok . He’s a dickhead . I swear if Uncle El and Liam ” knew- ‘ ” They are never going to know . ” I whispered , looking up at her . ” I want to g o for a run . ” ” Kia … It’s dark . ” She whispered , sadness i n her eyes . ” I don’t care . ” I can smell fine . I would be ok , I just wanted to be alone . ” I can come with you . ” ” ” No , you can’t shift . I just want to run .

You will slow me down … Please Raven . ” I whispered . The room was too suffocatingly tight . I needed space and fresh air . ” Kia … Fine . ” She sighed in defeat . ” Cover for me . ” I said quietly . She nodded , watching as I stood up and walked to the large windows . I looked down into the darkness , all I could see was black with a few dots of light . I pulled my top off and stripped my trousers off before I slid the window open and jumped out . I shifted in mid – air and ran ahead , not caring that I couldn’t see anything , it didn’t matter if I got hurt .

The pain I was feeling in my chest was a thousand times more than any that could be inflicted upon me physically . Jasmin’s words echoed in my mind and I felt horribly stupid . How could I not have realised it from the way they were sat ? What game was Alejandro playing ? I knocked into a wall , whimpering as pain sent a spasm through my side . I got back u p and felt along the wall . Was this the one around the edge of the mansion ? I backed up , trying to remember the height of the wall , readying myself for the leap . Three , two , one ….. I broke into a run , leaping into the air and over the wall , landing on the ground . Agonising pain shot up my leg but I didn’t hesitate before I took off blindly into the darkness . ALEJANDRO When she tore herself from my hold , I was shocked …

The way she stumbled blindly and felt for the fucking door handle , hurt like a bitch . Physically , the pain I felt rendered me fucking stunned . I just stood there as she ran up the stairs , unable to process anything with the foreign emotions that I was feeling .. I kissed her because I couldn’t hold back . I needed to taste her again . The way she had sat there , crossed legged , watching the movie . Her breasts were in nothing but a tiny crop top … The way she pouted o r wrinkled her nose at a scene in the movie . The way she kept twisting a strand of her hair around her finger .
