Her Cold-Hearted Alpha novel Chapter 71

ALEJANDRO

I downed the liquid , relishing the way it burned my throat before I tossed the glass onto the ground , watching it shatter into a thousand pieces before gripping the balcony rail as I glared out into the darkness . Why couldn’t I fucking control myself ? I was fucking losing my shit and she stood there unbothered . Fuck , I was relying on her running away from me .

Not coming to my fucking engagement looking like a fucking goddess . The way she stood there … poised , in control and that goddess damned aura of hers . The urge to mark and mate with her right now was taking over . I needed her gone …. How do I get her to leave ? ” Alejandro . ” Rafael’s voice came . Well fuck , can no one leave me the fuck alone ? Clearly not .

He came over and rested on the rail next to me . I clenched m y jaw , glaring out ahead . ” You ok ? You seem … restless . ” He said , his fucking concern clear in his voice. I scoffed . ” I’m not a fucking kid Raf , and more than that , don’t try to act like you fucking care . ” I do care . It doesn’t matter that you’re thirty – four , you’re still my kid brother . I’m proud of you , that you’re ready to settle down … But I don’t know , you don’t seem to be happy …

” His tone was as gentle as ever . I hated it , hated that shitty concern . It reminded me of our fucking childhood when he told me it’s all going to be fucking ok … He was the only fucking one who’s seen me at my fucking weakest and most vulnerable … ” I’m fucking fine .

” ” I want to see you happy brother , but with someone you want to . Don’t force yourself you don’t want to . ” He said , placing a if hand on my shoulder . ” A little fucking late for that . My decision’s made . ” ” F ” ” You can back out if you want … ” ” Just stay the fuck out of my business . ” I said , now moving away from the wall as I lit another cigarette ” Thank you for having Raihana and Rayhan … Raihana doesn’t even want to go home .

” ” Well , she’s fucking delusional then , I almost killed Rayhan a few times . You might want to keep them the fuck away IF from me . ” Only Rayhan ? ” Rafael said , clearly fucking emphased . ” What the fuck does that mean ? ” I said coldly . ” You had three young girls in this house . Only Rayhan got injured , not bad at all . Considering he’s an Alpha who can defend himself . Don’t paint yourself worse than you are , Al . ” ” You’re fucking stupid too .

” ” Come for a visit Alejandro , you and Jasmin . I think it would be nice . ” He said . His irritating tone grating at my fucking nerves . ” You should ask your mate first before inviting a monster home . ” I said , shoving past him .

” AL . H ” Excuse me , my King , it’s time for the ceremony . ” Kennan , one of the council members said . ” Sure , let’s get this shit over and done with . ” I replied coldly , despite the fucking pain that was squeezing at my chest .

We walked back inside and I saw Jasmin was already standing on the dais talking t o one of the council members . Allen , he was one of the three top advisors alongside Kennan and then of course we had that dickhead Elijah . The youngest one of the fucking trio . I did put the fuckers in that position , but that doesn’t mean I like them . ” Alpha . ” Jasmin said , flashing me a smile .

She looked ok I guess in her gold dress , but she was completely unappealing to m e . This was what I was settling for . I’m meant to be the fucking King and I couldn’t even have what I wanted . Thanks to my own fucking insecurities and fear that I’ll hurt her … As the room went silent and Allen began o n his complimentary shit , my mind was fucking fogging up . I could still back out …
