Her Cold-Hearted Alpha novel Chapter 84

SCARLETT

I was sat with a hot drink in my hand looking at Indigo , who was sitting there silently as Elijah held her . She had argued with me and it had taken Elijah a lot to calm me down . I had been so angry that Fred had done this to her . More so , I was angry at myself for not seeing it .

Yes , I saw that with time she had become quieter , but people change with time . Never would I have thought she was being abused . I put her change down to her countless miscarriages , that they were the reason for her quieter mood and the emotions that sometimes filled her eyes .

I just wished I had known . When had Indigo become so … timid ? She had always been confident , feisty and headstrong . Even when Daniel , her best friend , had found his mate Jake , she had given the guy a tough telling off . She said that if he ever hurt Daniel , she’d make him pay . Indigo was never the type to just sit back . I took the seat on the other side o f her . ” Indy … ”

She looked at me , her eyes dull and sadness swirling in those navy – blue orbs o f hers . ” I don’t want to hear it . ” She said . ” I’m not going to say anything . ” I said softly . ” He isn’t answering … I’m … I’m worried , h e didn’t even say goodbye . I will never forgive Alejandro for this . If anything happens to him …

I know he’s planned something . ” Indigo said , her eyes flashing . I stroked her hair . ” He’s only trying to help . ” ” I don’t need his help ! I told him countless times ! I need no one ! ” Indigo growled . ‘ I wanted to kill him myself . ‘ Elijah’s voice came through the link as our eyes met . ‘ In a way … it’s better Alejandro took care o f it .

Do you really think he’s sent him to his death as Indigo proclaims ? ‘ I asked . ‘ Bill is an incompetent fool of an Alpha . H e doesn’t even keep those lands secure and rogues run free there .

It’s not really safe at all … He won’t make it … Elijah’s voice came as he looked at Indigo with guilt and sadness rolling off him . ” This is not your fault . ‘ I said firmly through the link , I knew he felt responsible as he saw her more than I did . ‘ I should have picked up on it , Kitten .

‘ His reply came as he sighed . I placed my hand over his and rested my head against Indigo’s . ” Indy … This baby needs you … You deserve happiness and Fred abused that bond . Come home with us … Let me take care of you . Let us be there for you . Daniel would b e so happy to have you there too .

” I said . ” So , you know he won’t make it back . ” She said , her voice breaking . ” I didn’t say that . ” I said sighing . ” Why didn’t anyone stop him from making such a decision ? Kiara could have IT She sounded broken and I wish I knew what to say . ” I’m going home , I just want t o sleep … ” I don’t know why , but I didn’t trust her alone .
