Page 115 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

Before she ran over, wrapping her arms around his neck. He hugged her tightly and my gaze flitted to her ass. Knowing she wasn’t wearing any underwear underneath was a fucking turn on all over again.

"Angel." Elijah said.

Angel, hah. She was anything but an angel. The guy was fucking delusional. Moving back, he placed his hands on her shoulders, looking her over. A frown on his face, he turned to me sharply, his eyes turning a darker blue.

"Why does she…"

I wasn’t sure if he meant her aura or if she had my scent...

"Let’s go somewhere else." I said.

I didn’t look at Kiara and knew she was avoiding me too. I turned and led the way to my office. That building was the closest to the hospital and I don’t think taking him to the mansion right now was ideal as they were still finishing off.

"How's Mom?"

"Worried about you but she’ll come for the engagement. She’s going to watch the pack, with Liam coming here for the mating ceremony we need at least one of us at home especially with the on going attacks lately."

"Still on going?" She asked, concern clear in her voice.

"Rogues." Elijah said coldly. We entered the building.

"Oh…" She sighed and I glanced back to see her father had been guiding her, her arm wrapped around his.

I switched the lights on and walked ahead to my office, turning the lights on in here too, something I rarely did. Why the fuck was I bothering now? I wasn’t her fucking slave.

Once the door was shut, I dropped onto my chair, placing my feet on my desk after pulling out a cigarette and lighter. Elijah sat opposite whilst Kiara perched on the arm of his seat. Was I messed up to be jealous of him right now?

"So, anyone want to share why you have the aura of… an Alpha?" Elijah asked, looking up at Kiara.

Her eyes lit up.

"Really I do? Is it like Mom’s?" She asked.

"Not really… It’s…" Elijah frowned.

"It’s stronger than Scarlett’s was before she took the position of an Alpha." I said, smirking humourlessly.

"What do you mean?" She asked, her gaze flickering to mine. For a moment, our eyes met before I looked away.

"It means you’re one of the strongest wolves around." Elijah said, sounding worried. The shock and concern in his voice were clear.

"And you’re not happy?" Kiara asked, now looking at her Dad.

"I'm proud of you Angel, heck I knew you were strong… But you’re still my little angel. This also means you’re in a lot more danger."

"She already was. That display of power is what drew those things to her." I said coldly.

"Display of power? What the fuck happened?" He asked sharply.

She looked at me, her eyes turning accusatory and I knew she was about to tell him about Indigo. As much as I disliked the fucker, Fred, I had promised Indigo not to tell anyone… I remembered the day I had found out myself, the day I had summoned her to this very office…

(FLASHBACK – FOUR YEARS AGO)

I was sat at my desk smoking as Indigo stood opposite me. "So let me get this shit straight. He’s cheating on you and you're ok with it?" I asked.

Yeah, I didn’t get mates and love, but that was fucked up right?

"That’s between him and me… He… He isn't exactly cheating; it's just sex." She whispered, her lips trembling as she clutched her belly. "It’s because I'm pregnant; he’s scared to hurt it."
