Her Cold-Hearted Alpha novel Chapter 64

Pain Beyond Reckoning

KIARA

I walked through the halls , my heart pounding with each step . I gasped as a deep , intoxicating scent hit my nose ; I’d never smelled anything so addictive , so seductive that it made me dizzy . My heart thumped as I inhaled it . It smelt so much like Alejandro’s … Just a billion times more tempting if that were even possible . I stopped outside a door and opened it .

My mate was here and deep down I felt I knew exactly who it was … I looked into the room , but the sight that reached my eyes was one that would always remain . The painful sight of my mate making out with another woman . For a moment , it felt as if time had stopped , his gaze snapped towards me and my heart suddenly exploded with a surge of emotions .

Alejandro was my mate . My king . My other half . Despite the pain I felt , I looked into his eyes , giving him the chance to come to m e . We would work on this ; we could make it ok . Please . My heart was crumbling and I couldn’t hold it together forever , please Alejandro . Jasmin said something but I didn’t even hear her , trying to stop my broken heart from shattering completely .

” Ignore her . ” His deep husky voice came , sending my stomach into a storm . His words ripped through me and I felt as i f my heart was being torn out of my chest . Pain like nothing before seared through m e like a thousand whip lashes . It only became worse when he turned back to Jasmin and kissed her .

I couldn’t do this . I know I said I’d fight for my mate but how do you fight for someone who is currently making out with another , without caring that his mate was standing right there ? The agony of his betrayal and actions ripped through me . Deep down , I felt that perhaps my mate would reject me . We all have that fear . But having it happen was worse than any nightmare one could conjure up .

I turned and ran , stumbling as I rushed to the steps , losing one of my heels as I tripped . My hands clamped over my mouth to stifle my sobs that I had no control over . I kicked the other shoe off , running down the steps as fast as I could and towards the entrance . Pushing through the throngs of people , I ignored the shouts of annoyance .

I was out in the fresh air and I made for the entrance gate . I just wanted to get away from here . I had just reached the gates , rushing out of the compound and past security , feeling my emotions growing , m y aura bubbling to the surface . I heard someone shout but I didn’t care as I sped up , running as fast as I could . Pain rushed up my ankle but it was nothing compared to what I felt inside . Darkness enveloped me the further away that I got from the brightly lit venue .

I fell to the ground as pain and rejection made my wolf howl in pain . I wrapped my arms around myself , as I rocked myself . It was too much to endure . Tears trickled down my cheeks . This night was meant to be every girl’s dream , but mine had become a nightmare . It all made sense , the connection that I felt with him … the fact I wasn’t able to stay away from him , but maybe that was all it was , a pull that he had no interest or need for .

” Please go away . ” I sobbed into the silence , clutching my chest . But there was nowhere for it to go and deep down I knew my wolf believed he’d come to us . The crippling pain that engulfed my entire being was too much for me and I felt weak as if a million knives had been impaled in me . I tried shifting but my wolf had shut off , making me feel as if a part of me had died .

‘ No , don’t abandon me . ‘ I sobbed in my head . She was all I had right now but all I got was a howl of agony in return . The final straw that turned my shattered heart to dust . She wanted her mate and there was nothing I said that would make her return until she was ready to .

How dare h e … How could he do this to us ? Blinding anger and power rushed forth , illuminating the darkness in a dazzling purple . ” Kiara ! ” Someone shouted .
