Her Cold-Hearted Alpha novel Chapter 83

KIARA

He looked at me sharply . My heart was thudding painfully . The pain of my wolf , her regret , my guilt … I had to do this , sooner or later I would have to tell him and I’d rather do it before he somehow found out from someone else .

The fact he hadn’t slept with anyone other than me really hit a nerve . No matter how he reacted … He had pushed me away . ” What is it ? ” He asked , turning back to the road . I looked at his face , his sharp chiselled jaw , his small beard , his tattoos … his necklaces … ” I … The night after what happened in Doctor Callum’s office , when I found out that the engagement was still on . I felt used , hurt and stupid .

” I took a deep breath . You got this girl … Come clean before it comes and bites you later on … I closed my eyes . ” That night I … I slept with Rayhan . ” There I said it .

My heart was racing as I waited for his reaction. I opened my eyes when he said nothing , I was expecting his aura and anger to unleash upon me , but it didn’t . I looked at him , wondering if he had heard me . His jaw was clenched , his knuckles white o In the steering wheel , and despite the fact h e was in control of his emotions , he was angry … ” Yeah , I know . ” He said , his deep voice sounding rough .

My eyes flew open in shock , I wasn’t expecting that … ” H – how … ? ” I paused . Had he heard ? Was he home ? Oh no … ” I came home that night and when I passed your room , well , I smelt the fuckers scent and I opened the door . It was a fine fucking scene .

” He said bitterly . I felt my heart squeeze in pain at the hurt i n his voice . He knew , but on top of that , h e had seen me … The image of him and Jasmin had broken me . But it seemed , without even knowing , I had hurt him the same way . Both of us were as bad as each other …

He had seen me in bed with none other than his nephew . Yes , I had sex , but we weren’t mates at the time … He had known I was his mate when he had kissed Jasmin … ” It’s done , no shit can change that now . Why mention it ? ” His words made my stomach twist . ” If were going to work on this … I thought we should be honest . ” I whispered , sounded more vulnerable than I wanted .

I looked down , letting my hair shield my face . ” I’m sorry . Of all people , it shouldn’t have been Rayhan … If I knew you were my mate , I swear I- ” I was cut off when he reached over , brushing my hair that was curtaining my face back , resting his hand on the back of my head . ” Don’t apologise , I pushed you to that

I won’t say it didn’t fucking hurt , but … I get it . ” He said quietly . His thumb caressed m y head slightly and I just wanted to lean into his touch . My heart hammered at his words ‘ It hurt ‘ . The meaning being , he definitely had feelings before the bond . He stroked the back of my head as our eyes met .

My heart thudded as I saw his gaze flicker to my Tips . His eyes flashed red as he forced his gaze ahead . ” I won’t apologise for my actions … because it’s just a word … I’ll try to fucking make it up to you instead . ” He said quietly , removing his hand from behind my head .

I smiled gently , I felt better getting that off my chest . His words made my stomach flutter , I could see he was trying and it made me crazy . It was already hard not to give in to the pull of the mate bond … I leant down , opening the bag of snacks I had packed , and took out my box of brownies . My cheeks heated up as I realised he’d know I made these for him . ” Brownie ? ” I said , trying to not let my embarrassment show .

He looked at the open box for a second before smirking arrogantly as he looked into my eyes . ” Were these baked for me ? ” He said arrogantly . ” Does it matter ? They were baked for the journey . ” I said . ” And it’s not like I haven’t baked for you before…

This was so embarrassing .
