Page 101 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

"I wish you could have visited more." Raven said.

"I don’t think Scarlett or Angela miss me much." She laughed.

"They do, Mom may not say it, but you are her little sister." I said with a small smile.

I saw her smile falter slightly and I wondered what that was about.

"So enough about me. The food will be done soon, but before that, tell me how's the stay in the Night Walkers pack going?" She asked, standing up.

She went over to the fridge and took out three cans of Coca-Cola. She tossed one to each of us and I caught mine, tapping the top with my nail several times before opening it - a trick Dad taught me years ago. I smiled softly, feeling a twinge in my chest. I had seen Mom's missed calls and Dad’s messages, but I was really bad with my phone. I promised myself I’d call them tonight.

"The stay is going kinda ok…" Raven said glancing at me.

"Really? Serena told me that Alpha Al attacked Rayhan…" Aunty Indy said sharply.

"Yeah, I mean, apart from that stuff it's been good." Raven said smoothly, opening her can and taking a big gulp.

"It’s been great, I mean for me, being able to help at the hospital is amazing." I said, before I went on to talk to her about my abilities, telling her I had to keep it secret. Once I was done, we had finished carrying the food to the coffee table and all sat down to eat.

"So, Aunty Indy tell us, do you know Jasmin? The Kings' fiancé?" Raven asked.

For some reason, the smile that appeared on Aunty Indy’s face made my stomach sink.

"I’m so glad he finally accepted her, them two go really well." She said. "Honestly, he took way too long to accept her."

"You think so?" Raven asked, glancing at me. It was clear she wasn’t expecting this answer.

"Definitely, I don’t think there’s anyone else more suited for our King."

48. A King's Rules

KIARA

Those words felt bitter to digest, but I didn’t respond as I put some food on my plate.

"Jasmin and Alpha Al have had an on-off relationship, if you could call it that. Anyway, he tolerates her. She knows how to run a pack and she’s smart, plus she's actually pretty strong. Alpha Al is pretty closed up and won't really let anyone close to him. Jasmin’s able to tolerate him and although he can be hateful, she’s strong enough to stand by his side." Aunty Indy continued.

"Why not choose a she-wolf from his own pack?" Raven asked curiously.

Aunty Indy smirked.

"Although the King’s got a reputation - as an uncaring, dangerous bad boy - he has rules. He doesn't sleep with any woman from his own pack. Not even omegas."

That surprised me. I looked up at her, shocked.

"What, why?" I asked.

"He doesn't think it's professional and I think it makes sense, as this way there won’t be any catfights between the females. Most of the women here would love to sleep with him. Heck, even I crushed on him back in the day." Aunty Indy said pulling a face. "But he treats his pack equally and doesn't cross the line between business and pleasure."

I scoffed.

"Yeah right." I said, freezing when Raven raised an eyebrow at me, smirking. Aunty Indy looked confused.

"What does that mean?"

"Well, I'm sure he gets around." I stated.

"Well, I know Scarlett said he fucked Liana back when he visited The Blood Moon Pack recently." Aunty Indy chuckled.
