Page 106 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

‘Alpha! There’s three!’ Someone said through the link.

‘Fuck, use the weapons. I’m heading to the closest one now!’ I said as I sped through the building and between the trees.

There it was, sniffing the air before it jumped onto one of my warriors. I leapt in, slamming it against the closest tree. It slashed out at me but I blocked it, tearing its arm off. It swiped down at me, clawing into my left arm. The fuckers sure were fast.

My warriors shot at it, only for it to lunge towards them. I jumped on its back, grabbing its fucking neck and tore its head off. The body moved for a bit, clawing out blindly, but soon it fell to the ground dead. The fucking wounds hurt like a bitch. Odd. Usually, they don’t really affect me this much…

"Alpha, you’re losing a lot of blood." One of the warriors who had been fighting in human form said.

I raised my eyebrow, unbothered.

‘It’s going to take a lot more than that to take me down.’ I said through the link, before I decided to find the next one…

RAVEN

I paced the living room. Rayhan, Raihana, Greg, Harry and two other warriors were here in the mansion. Well, the two warriors were standing outside keeping guard. Rayhan was sat on the stairs whilst Greg and Harry were upstairs outside Alpha Al’s bedroom. I could sense the tension from Rayhan. Raihana was just sat there browsing social media apps on her phone. I walked out of the lounge and over to Rayhan.

"The wait is annoying, isn't it?" I said quietly.

"Guess so, I'm more confused about Uncle’s behaviour towards Kiara." He replied, now looking up at me.

I frowned. "What do you mean?"

"He does care or something. That much I was sure of when he told me to stay. I'm not stupid enough to miss it, but it’s kinda fucked up that he’s getting married and still stringing her along."

"Do you like Kiara?" I asked curiously.

Kiara was gorgeous and she had a figure to die for. He looked up at me surprised, and I almost burst out laughing when I saw the light blush on his cheeks.

"No, I don’t! Why do you think that? Just cause I'm worried for a friend. Urgh, you and Raihana…" He grumbled.

I smirked. I knew he was telling the truth but it was still funny to watch.

"So, you don’t think she’s hot?"

"She is. Really hot, but don’t tell Liam I said that, or Damon for that matter. It doesn't mean I'm crushing on her." He said, giving me a pointed look.

I nodded, my mind flitting to the boys back home. Damon couldn't really say anything, I mean, he had fucked her too... I don’t know why but that hurt. A lot. I didn't even understand why. Was it the fact that she kept it secret? I don't think so... I pushed the thought away, trying to ignore the sadness that settled within me. I really missed them. I just wanted to get home and hoped Kiara could just go home too without getting hurt by Alpha Butthole even more than she already has been.

"Hmm, I think sometimes we can find people attractive but not crush on them." I said, now sitting on the step below him.

"Obviously." He said, tapping his foot. "I swear, I want to find out what's happening."

"We have to stay-" I began.

He raised his hand, motioning for me to stay quiet. His eyes glowing a dazzling emerald as he stood up. I strained my hearing but I could hear nothing.

"Raven… Grab Raihana and go upstairs." He said quietly, his eyes fixed on the kitchen door.

I nodded, standing up. I made my way to the living room, motioning for Raihana to follow. Just as we left the room, we heard the sound of a chilling shriek.

"Oh hell! Run girl!" I said to her, taking her hand. I ran up the steps, dragging her along.

I glanced back, seeing Rayhan shift as the horrible ‘thing’ lurched at him. A Manangal based on what we'd been taught, I recognised that shit! Oh hell! This was getting bad!

Raihana paused at the top of the stairs, her eyes set on her brother who was now fighting the thing. The two guards from outside had run inside and joined the fight. The Manangal was fast. Its long tongue and sharp razor teeth made me shudder. The pungent smell that accompanied it made me gag.
