Her Cold-Hearted Alpha novel Chapter 53

KIARA

Remembering the last time we were alone in a room, it suddenly became more uncomfortable. “Dad’s coming? Why?” I asked trying to ignore the tension that hung between us, daring not to look at him. “That’s one of the reasons I wanted to talk to you… You saw that Harry was in the hospital… but it’s about Greg.” He crossed his arms, the serious look on his face was a stark reminder that he was an adult with responsibilities.

I don’t think I had seen him this serious. “What about Greg?” I said, my heart hammering. I hadn’t seen him anywhere.. My heart sank before he even spoke. “He was killed. I guess your Dad felt the pack link break.” He said, sending a stab o f pain through my chest. It was my fault. Those things came for m e. I clutched my neck, feeling sick. It was my fault. Greg..”It’s not. “What?” I asked sharply, looking up at him.

His dark eyes glittered with emotions I couldn’t make out. “It’s not your fucking fault.” He repeated, making my heart skip a beat. “My security was breached. That’s on me. “This is not your fault! If I wasn’t here, no one would have had to get hurt or die!” I cried, placing my hand on my head. I wasn’t a help; I was a magnet for trouble. I was a fake! Trying to heal? Heal what? Injuries that I was the reason for! “Hey, that is not your fucking fault, so stop fucking around with that.

These fuckers have been around for years.” He said, my heart skipped a beat when he grabbed my elbow and spun me around to look him in the eye. I tried to ignore the illicit desire that now rushed through me. Avoiding his gaze, I took a deep breath through my mouth, his scent was making my head all fuzzy. “You’re hurt. Let me heal you.” I muttered.

“Look at me,” He growled commandingly. I knew I was irritating him but I couldn’t d o this. I lost my senses when it came to him… Don’t Kiara. “Kiara, something happened earlier. Something that triggered you off. What was it?” I still avoided his gaze but his next move took me by surprise. His fingers firmly gripped my chin as he tilted my forcing me to meet his gaze. Goddess… My face up, blue-green met his dark ones, our hearts were racing. What were we?
