“Dad! Liam! I left the cinema of my own will. If I just returned to the screening room, I would
have been fine! Liam stop flipping blaming yourself.” I snapped.
Both men looked at me frowning. “You shouldn’t have left.” Dad said now looking at me. I wasn’t
wearing my cardigan now since everyone had already seen the bite and I saw his eyes flicker there
before concern and worry settled in tenfold. I closed my eyes taking a deep breath.
“I don’t need you to keep looking out for rue, I need to breathe. Goddess, I feel suffocated at
times!” I snapped. I know I sounded like a selfish bitch right now, when all they did was love me,
but it was suffocating.
“Kiara, you almost got killed again.”

“Dad. Please, I don’t want to hurt you guys, but you need to let me breathe.” I whispered, looking
at my brother and dad pleadingly. Nlum sighed.
“Elijah, Liam, you two do need to give her space. Especially you, Elijah.”

“Red… fuck she almost died; this is what? The seventh fucking time?! She’s had enough near- death
experiences for her entire life. I am not going to lose her, nor d o I need that asshole to think I
owe him anything.” Dad hissed, his eyes flashing. His Alpha aura rolled off him. It affected m e
the most. The other two were Alpha’s after all.
“So, this is about the Alpha upstairs?!” I asked angrily, trying not to let his aura bother me too
much.
“No… But he’s saved you twice now. I feel like I can’t protect you. I don’t want to suffocate you
Kia, but you’re not making matters better. From now on, you are not going anywhere alone.” His tone
held a cold finality. I could see the anger swirling in his eyes. It was emanating from him in
waves. I clenched my jaw, my own heart thundering. So this was the cocky, dangerously handsome
Alpha’s fault…
I turned and stormed out, running up the stairs.
“Kiara!” Dad called.

“Give her space. Are you two not hearing
anything she just said?” I heard mum’s

annoyed reply. Goddess, I loved the woman. I was about to storm to my room when I stopped outside
the room next door to mine. The intoxicating woody scent hit my senses and I paused. Without
thinking, I pushed open the door. If he hadn’t told dad, then this wouldn’t have happened!
I glared at the man who stood near the bed but it only lasted a second. My eyes widened in shock
when my eyes ran over him. Never had a man looked so handsome as the one before me. Every ridge and
dip of his muscular body was beyond perfection. Tattoos covered his arms, chest and his entire
neck. I had seen those downstairs peeping out. He wore a few silver necklaces around his neck,
which only added to how sexy he looked. Yes, I had thought he was handsome then… But now in
nothing but a towel that was precariously low on his hips, showing off more tattoos that made me
wonder where exactly they stopped. His legs had tattoos too…
“Are you done staring?” He asked. His deep, cold voice making my eyes widen and I felt my cheeks
flush slightly. He plugged his phone into the charger before

walking over to me. Even his walk oozed power and arrogance. “What do you want? I didn’t think
you’d be so quick to come running.”
I frowned. What did that even mean? I got my answer when he shut the door behind me. My eyes
widened and I glared at him.
“Don’t get ideas. I’m eighteen, aren’t you like dad’s age?” I said, stepping back. I hope he
couldn’t hear my racing heart. He raised an eyebrow.
“Oh yeah, I forgot. Daddy’s little girl is still a baby, right?” He mocked.
“That’s not true.” My eyes flashed in annoyance. How dare he, I don’t care if he was the Alpha
king… His eyes narrowed, flashing a dangerous red as he closed the gap between us. I stepped
back.
“Prove it.” He said in a lower voice, that sent shivers down my spine.
“Excuse me?”

“Prove you’re not daddy’s precious little baby.” His eyes bore into mine and I felt like swearing
when my back hit the wall. H e placed his hands on either side of my head and I knew he could hear
the

thudding of my heart. Nly stomach knotted and I found myself looking at his lips. He had a styled
short beard and he looked incredibly appealing. I dragged my eyes up and stared into his.
“I have nothing to prove to you. You shouldn’t have made a big deal about it over dinner.”
“I didn’t. I just stated a fucking fact. If that caused an issue, I don’t fucking care. So…don’t
piss me off. You’ll learn that my instincts to kill are far stronger than my instincts to protect.”
His voice was low, his dark eyes glaring into mine.
My heart hammered but I wasn’t scared, I had faced death many times. I gave a small smile, trying
not to focus on the fact that he was only in a towel. Was it strange that I found someone who was
at least 15 years older than me sexy?
“That’s alright, you saved me lJ years ago. If you kill me, it wouldn’t really matter. I’m alive
because of you.” I said quietly, I wasn’t scared of death. He frowned looking into my eyes. I
couldn’t read him but his closeness was getting to me.
