Her Cold-Hearted Alpha novel Chapter 75

KIARA

Three hours had passed , and I still wasn’t able to sleep . Every time I shut my eyes , I was either seeing Alejandro telling Jasmin to ignore me or him saying he couldn’t mark her . I pushed the covers off , now agitated . I had blocked the mind link off because I didn’t want to talk to anyone , and I was glad Mom hadn’t tried to bother me . We both needed to calm down .

I had even texted Raven , filling her in on everything two hours ago , but she must b e asleep now … The forty – minute shower I had when I came up wasn’t enough to relax me … What should I do ? A sudden thought came to me and I smiled . I knew what I should do … and it was already late , no one would be awake . Kicking off the covers ,

I jumped out of my bed , wincing at the pain in my ankle . I paused , remembering how it hadn’t hurt when I had lunged at the Wendigo … Did m y ability have something to do with that ? I would need to trial it out another time . I didn’t want to attract Wendigos .

I pulled my hair into a messy bun and left my room . I used the light on my phone to see as I made my way silently downstairs . My feet padded lightly on the steps . I entered the kitchen , feeling a little chilly in my black shorts and crop top . I’m sure it will heat up once the oven was turned on . I turned it on first before I began taking the ingredients for brownies out , placing them on the island in the centre .

I always find baking therapeutic , and right now I think a glass of milk and gooey brownies were the perfect thing to help me get a good night’s sleep . I frowned , unable to find the plain chocolate bars . I closed the drawer and headed to the pantry , looking at the lined shelves of goodies . No plain chocolate , I almost gave up when my gaze caught a stack on a shelf above my head .

I smiled at the large slabs of Dairy Milk whole nut chocolate . I could use those . Why the hell were they so far up ? Tiptoeing , I grabbed two bars , turning as a shadow loomed in the door . I almost dropped the bars , gasping in alarm before the familiar intoxicating scent hit my nose .

” I don’t like anyone stealing my chocolate . My heart thumped . I wasn’t expecting him to come downstairs . I refused to look him in the eyes , but even that was a mistake as I was now looking at his perfect shirtless body .

His pierced nipples , refined abs and his tattoos made my core throb , a Oh , Goddess …. I looked away , trying to move past him , but he didn’t budge . Reaching up , he grabbed a bar . I closed my eyes , trying not to inhale his intoxicating scent . His arm brushed my shoulder and I pulled back , feeling those strong tingles rush through me . I felt his eyes on me before h e stepped out of the pantry .
