Her Cold-Hearted Alpha novel Chapter 43

KIARA

I placed a hand to my heart, taking a deep breath. “Seriously, have you not heard of knocking?!” I growled, getting to my feet and praying the thin, clingy fabric of my shirt didn’t reveal too much. Fat chance, his eyes were already roaming over me. I yanked on the hem, hoping to cover my underwear, only to notice his eyes flashing red as they focused on my breasts which were now pressing against the slightly sheer white fabric. Didn’t he say he was done and dusted with me?

My stomach fluttered and I slowly made my way back to my bed and sat down, crossing my arms expertly over my chest. “Care to share why the almighty Alpha king graced my humble abode with his presence?” I asked mockingly, glad he was at least wearing clothes now. “To tell you, that whatever you heard is not to be mentioned to anyone.” He said seriously. I frowned, curiosity igniting within me. Should I say I don’t know what he’s on about? Should I dig a little deeper.. “I don’t know about that; I mean it’s some pretty serious information… If it was so important, why didn’t you stop talking when you knew I was awake?” I said, smoothly. •

He glared at me. “I didn’t realise you were fucking awake.” He growled dangerously. “Now that’s a fucking order.” “On one condition.” I said, keeping my eyes firmly on his. “Who the fuck do you think you are to put conditions forth?” He said coldly. “Then I won’t promise to keep my mouth shut.” I countered confidently. “This is a serious lead, Kiara. One I’ve been going after for years. There’s a high chance that Galloway Forest may contain the answers. I don’t trust many people, I can’t deal with another leak.” He said quietly.

I felt my blood run cold, the name was ordinary and one I knew. Being the largest forest in the United Kingdom… But why did I feel there was something off..? “Fuck, woman. Don’t ignore me. “He growled dangerously. I looked up at him. “No… I’m not ignoring you. There’s • something there. You should stay away from it. I have a bad feeling.” I said, now rubbing my arms, trying to get rid of the goosebumps that had settled there. Also trying not to flinch at the marks the silver blade had left. “What do you mean?” He asked, now frowning.

“I don’t know. I just have a feeling.” I shrugged, “Now can I sleep?” He looked at me, his frown partially gone and I wished it wasn’t. He messed with m y mind and body so easily. “Callum told me about your abilities. There are chances you have other abilities aside from healing.” He said. “You mean like my sixth sense that often comes true?'” I asked. “Maybe… I won’t believe in that unless I see it for myself.” He said. I gave him a glare but said nothing. Everyone back home thought it was just intuition, but I knew Liam also had that sense too. Maybe it wasn’t the same thing “Have you told your parents?”

“No…” I said, thinking there was a lot I hadn’t told them… “Hm. Well, I think we need to. The Blood Moon isn’t far off and that means many people will come here. There is a high chance of something going down.” “What does that even mean? Are you implying I could become a target if my ability gets out?” “I think you already are one. I froze. Suddenly Dad’s words came rushing back to me – ‘Our pack is a hot spot for the attacks.. “Wait, did Dad have this assumption too? “I said, now standing up and staring at Alejandro accusingly. Is that why Dad sent me away?

“Maybe, maybe not. You’re going to have t o ask him. Originally, we thought it could be your mother.” He said. “We?! Fuck. So, he only let me come to keep me safe!” I exclaimed. Irritation and anger were now building within me. “Chill the fuck out. He did it for your own fucking good. Pups these days.” He growled as he made his way to the door. “Hey, don’t call me a pup! I have the perfect way to piss Dad off anyway. I’ll tell him what I’ve been doing here…” I muttered. He looked at me and for a second I swore I saw amused curiosíty there, but it was gone as quickly as it came. “Oh yeah?

That would be fun to watch.” “Yeah, I’ll tell him we had sex… He’ll regret the decision for the rest of his life… ” My amusement died away. No, I would never use that. Not after knowing how Dad still blamed himself for my ankle. “Sounds pretty good. Maybe I’ll do the honours myself.” He said, humourlessly. My smile vanished as he stood, his hand still on the handle. “Don’t. On that topic… have you told Jasmin?” I asked. “No, I have nothing to tell her. I agreed to marry her the day after that night.”

He said. My heart skipped a beat but I somehow felt a little better… So I would only need to apologise for the kiss. “Why the fuck do you even care? If anyone, shouldn’t I be the one to fucking regret it?” He asked. His cold, dark eyes now bore into mine. “You don’t even feel guilty? Really? Not even for any of your actions?” I asked. He looked away, opening the door. “No. I don’t give a fuck.” The door shut and ay down on my side with a sigh. Tomorrow I needed to apologise to her, to get it off my chest.
