Her Cold-Hearted Alpha novel Chapter 42

KIARA

I hadn’t been able to heal myself , although I had tried . I knew I was doing the right thing , I was doing it exactly the same way I had when healing Valentin but it seems maybe it’s just not meant to work on me , or that I need to practise a little more . I had got up and began walking back to the mansion slowly . Goddess , did it hurt . Alejandro gave me hot and cold signals , I wanted to hate him but then a part of me wanted to believe he cared . Even a little . But now as Alejandro just shot that painful remark at me , I wasn’t sure if I should get pissed off or just laugh . He’s the one who couldn’t keep his damn hands off me .

Yes , he looked absolutely delicious in only those oversized basketball shorts that hung so low on his hips . It was a mission not to lick my lips but I dared not run my eyes over his torso , nor admire his tattoos and the necklaces he always seemed to wear . His earring that hung in his right ear glinted when he moved his head slightly , watching me sharply . Maybe it was a both – way thing … ? I shook my head . ” Really ? ” I said , coming back to reality , now remembering his mocking comment . I cocked a brow arrogantly , doing my very best version of Dad’s face , a look I have practised many times in the mirror growing up . I smirked , scoffing slightly as I looked him up and down . He narrowed his eyes at me and I simply rolled mine . ” Funny way to show it , you’re the one who can’t keep your hands off me . I mean , I don’t see me going up to you and trying to kiss or flirt with you . ‘

” I remarked in the most mocking tone I could muster . Goddess , how did these Alphas do it ? Arrogance was not in my bones . ” Keep acting fucking delusional , now get the fuck out . ” He growled , his jaw clenched . I resisted a giggle . Haha , I had pissed him off . Now feeling rather smug , I stepped closer to him . ” I assure you Alpha , if I wanted to … I’d have you hard in no time . ” I said softly , letting my gaze fall to the front of his pants . He smirked , and for a moment I faltered . Was this smart ? I was confident … but that arrogant smirk was throwing me off … I stopped in my tracks , I was not going to let him mess with my head . Not this time . ” But I’m not even interested in seducing you . . ” I said coldly . ” Yeah , anyone with a fucking cunt or tits can turn me on .

I’ve already had one taste of you and I’m kinda bored . ” He mocked . ” Wow , you just kind of admitted you’re a disgusting dog . ” He smirked coldly , I had to admit I was shocked he didn’t get angry at that remark . ” Oh yeah ? Then it seems you enjoyed fucking this dog . I made you scream louder than that fucker back at your pack . We both know you tried to keep your fucking volume down but couldn’t manage . 11 Urgh ! How did he just do this ?! So annoying ! I simply glared at him before becoming serious . ” How could you do that to Rayhan when h e was simply looking out for me ? How I wish I actually listened to him . ” ✓ His smirk vanished the moment I changed the topic and his aura only seemed to grow . ” That’s none of your fucking business .

” H e growled . ” He should learn not to get involved in 11 business . my ” Make up whatever excuses you want , you had no right to hurt him like that ! ” I snapped . His eyes flashed and I saw him advance , grabbing me by the neck . I didn’t even flinch . The belief , or call it madness , that I didn’t think he’d hurt me was something I felt with complete confidence . I tried to Stam ignore his intoxicating scent that made m e want to close my eyes and give in to all his darkness and rage . I had to focus . I met his gaze as he glared down at me , rage and fury seeping off him .

” Side with the fucker as much as you want , but I warned him to keep his fucking mouth shut . ” He hissed . I was about to reply when I wondered what Rayhan had said that had riled him u p . Was there more to it ? ” Did he say something he shouldn’t have ? ” I asked quietly . I watched him curiously , not missing the sound of his heart skipping a beat , but he kept his dark , cold glare in place . 11 ” Him just fucking talking was enough . ” Liar . He had said something that had triggered Alejandro off , I was sure of it . His eyes returned to his usually dark ones and I knew he was confused at my silence .

Even though he held me by my throat , there was no pain or danger oozing off of him . ” Sometimes it’s ok to talk . ” I said quietly . ” Don’t play the fucking shrink . Get the fuck out . ” He said , letting go of me . He turned his back on me and I felt the pull at my heartstrings . His broad , muscular back … his tattoos … the arrogance and darkness that surrounded him … what about the soul hidden within ? The one that was so isolated , no one was able to breach the barriers that kept it locked away from the world . Too far for anyone to pull to the surface . One thing I realised was , the Lycan king was far lonelier than he’d ever realise or let on . I turned to leave when I paused . I don’t know what overcame me but the urge to do something was too strong .

I reached out , taking his large calloused hand in my slender one , trying not to flinch at the pain that still lingered from the silver . He stiffened , turning sharply as I gave his hand a gentle squeeze . ” I don’t mind being a friend , if you ever need one . ” I said quietly , looking into his dark seductive eyes for a second . Our eyes locked and for a moment I felt that strong pull . Our hearts raced and I wondered what this was ? It was scary , how he had this hold over me , yet so tempting . No , I could never see this man as a friend , when my heart went wild in his mere presence .

The way his gaze alone made m y stomach knot and my core throb … But if he ever needed me in that way , I’d be there for him . I didn’t wait for a reply , letting go of his hand and limping to the door . Making sure not to turn back , even when I felt his intense gaze watching me … I had changed but hadn’t bathed , letting Alejandro’s saliva do its job . I won’t lie , the way I had felt when he ran his tongue up me had sent me to cloud nine and I had to quickly think about the old male wolves back home . It was the only thing that had stopped me from melting into his touch and getting turned on .

I was proud of myself . That was my new plan ! Next time he tries to tempt me , I will just picture those old men and I’ll never get turned on again ! Smart of me , I thought smugly . I put on a loose , clingy , thin shirt and some panties . After a quick wipe down with a damp towel , I decided I’d bathe in the morning . I returned to the bedroom and opened the window , leaving a small gap so the wind could blow in . It was rather warm tonight , but the bree was cool , The sounds of animals awake at night filled my ears along with the pleasant chirping of crickets .

The very sounds that felt like music to my ears . Turning the light off , I dimmed the touch lamp and lay on my stomach gingerly . Goddess , I was pissed at that stupid bitch . How could she do that ? However I was also proud I had faired pretty well against her . I was drifting off when I heard talking from outside . I frowned but didn’t move . My entire back was burning up slightly and I didn’t want to be heard . Who was outside at this time ? I reached for my phone to check the time . 1.49 am … I closed my eyes , honing in on the voices . Alejandro … and the other voice sounded familiar too … It took me a moment to click who it was , and I almost jumped out of bed . Aunty Indy ! ” …. At all . ” She was saying . ” Hmm , at least there was some progress . How come he didn’t come himself to report this ? ” Alejandro’s moody yet panty wetting voice came . The man has made me hornier than I’ve ever been .

I groaned inwardly . Note to self , never approach Alejandro when I’m half asleep . I’d probably lose all of my common sense … ” He was tired and I’m pretty energised . ” Indigo said . ” You know , you can talk to me if anything’s bothering you . ” He said wor quietly , his voice was barely audible , so much so that I wondered if I’d misheard him . Was the arrogant mean Alpha was being considerate ? ” I know . Nothing is bothering me , Alpha . ” She said . ” Then you should take care of yourself . ” H e replied curtly . An odd feeling of curiosity began eating u p at me . Why was he being so nice ? Well , it was nice for him to be anyway . Was it the nicest he’s ever been towards anyone maybe ? ” Of course , Alpha . ” She said . ” Is she here ? ” Your niece , yeah she is , as irritating as her father and fucking stubborn like her mother . ” He said . Yeah , and you still wanted a piece of me .

I made a face . T ” She’s reckless , headstrong and one of the sweetest souls I know . ” Indigo replied Thank you Aunty , for reminding him how nice I am . Dumb big bad Alpha ! ” I’m presuming now that you’re here , you’ll take her and the brat with you tomorrow ? ” ” Umm , I’ll ask Frederick . He just got back , I don’t want him to get overwhelmed . It might be better that they stay here . ” I felt a pang of disappointment at that . Didn’t aunty want us ? That didn’t make sense . She loved our girly sleepovers whenever she visited . ” Don’t fucking blame him , I don’t blame you for not wanting them . ” Alejandro’s reply came . This guy … I heard Aunty laugh . Now I pouted displeased , he even made a woman laugh ? Why haven’t I seen this side of him .

” Nice to know you have welcomed them , in . Good night , Alpha I’ll be heading back ” ” OK … ” She replied , seemingly pretty confused too . She seemed to have walked off and I sat up frowning . Why did aunty Indy say she didn’t want u s ? It was a little strange , but then again , w e didn’t really know her mate or see him often . Maybe he was just like his dummy Alpha . A shadow fell over me and my heart thumped as I leapt from the bed , stumbling and falling in the process as I spun around to look at the figure that now stood behind my bed . ” It’s rude to eavesdrop .
