Page 107 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

"Rayhan..." Raihana said, worry clear on her face as she watched her brother.

I sighed.

"Look, we have to stay with Kiara in your Uncles’ rooms." I said, pulling her along. "Ray and the big boys can take care of themselves, don’t worry. We will just get in their way if we stay there."

"I’ll go help." Harry was saying to Greg before he hurried past us.

Greg and the two of us stepped into Alejandro’s bedroom. It smelled just like him. I saw Kiara in the huge bed and walked over to her, sitting down on the edge.

We couldn't really hear much from downstairs, despite the door being opened a bit. It was just the sound of growls, hissing and thudding, but I had no idea who was winning or who wasn’t.

"I hate this waiting." I sighed as Greg spun the katana he held in his hand. He popped his head into the hallway, listening.

Raihana nodded, slumping onto the leather two-seater that stood in front of a huge TV. Greg motioned for us to stay quiet and shut the door.

"How did they get in?" Raihana asked, now tossing her phone down.

"Stay quiet." Greg said tersely.

I watched him, was something wrong? He walked to the window, sliding it open slightly as he looked out. I saw a dark blur flash by but before I could even react, to my horror, I saw Greg’s blood splattering across the window. Raihana’s screams filled the air as his headless body dropped to the ground, dead.

51. Raven

RAVEN

"Rai! Stay with Kiara now!" I snapped, diving for the weapon that Greg’s lifeless body still held loosely in his hand, just as the disgusting beast lurched itself through the window.

There may only be a year’s difference between Raihana and me, but she had definitely been raised a princess. Unlike Kiara and I, who knew how to fight even when we didn’t have wolves, it was clear the same wasn’t the case for her.

The manangal rushed for the bed and I sprinted over from behind, raising the weapon and stabbing it into its side. It didn’t seem to do much damage to it, but it had surely caught its attention. That was the damn point.

"Come on, you piece of sewer crap, let’s play!" I said, spinning the sword. It sprang at me and I ducked, ramming the weapon through its stomach. Its blood splattered over me, letting out a painful hiss of agony and anger. It attacked me, knocking me across the room, making me let go of the weapon that was now lodged in its stomach. I rolled over, breaking my fall, before I was on my feet again.

Moon Goddess, did you have to send such an ugly stinky thing my way? I pulled a face as I watched the Manangal rip the sword from its side and throw it across the room. Raihana flinched as she sat there, next to my sleeping beauty. Honestly, that girl was going to regret being asleep through this. Couldn't I kind of get a selfie of this?

"Raihana, don’t speak… but take a picture." I said smirking.

I kept my eyes on the Manangal, waiting for its next move and planning mine...

She didn’t reply but I saw her grab her phone. Right! I bet I’ll be the only one with a Manangal photo! Oh, this was going to make the boys so jelly!

It lunged at me and I ducked, plunging my hand into the disgusting wound that I had made earlier. I had nothing to go on but my gut instinct. I pulled out whatever slimy insides I could grab onto. I felt its claws dig into me painfully and I yelped at the pain that jarred through my body.

"I’m getting Rayhan!" Raihana said, now realising I might not make this.

She may be right… but I don’t think she’ll make it to the door. She ran to the door, but it was a bad mistake. The Manangal turned sharply, swinging towards her with an unearthly shriek.

Oh no you don’t! I jumped onto its back, digging my bloody hands into its eye sockets. I was internally cringing at how disgusting this was. For a few seconds, we remained like that, me hanging on for dear life as it tried to rip me off its back. It finally managed to grab me, ripping me off itself as it hissed, flailing its arms. Now blinded, it was angrier than ever as it shook me violently.

My vision darkened…

Damn, Kia… Wake up, babe…

It threw me across the room and I hit the wall with a painful thud before I fell to the floor. I couldn't move, the pain from the wounds was already taking over… Raihana stood near the door, too horrified to even move, a hand over her mouth.

I struggled to push myself up but I couldn't… My energy was draining fast.

Kia… Come on… But heck, it seemed like this girl needed her prince charming’s wake up kiss!
