Page 124 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

"Rayhan!" I said, knowing she wouldn’t back down.

Her unique coloured eyes widened in surprise. Before a sly smirk crossed her lips. "Wow… So I see your type… Italian boys ay." She said, winking at me suggestively as I shook my head.

"He was the only man who came in the way." I said, sighing. "Okay that and he is super hot."

"Well, there were also the twenty guards surrounding this mansion… You sure Rayhan was the only option? Or did you choose him because… He looks like you know who."

Because he looks like Alejandro?

"No." I said softly. "It wasn’t, I mean, I couldn't even picture someone else as Alejandro… No one can be him. I'm over him. The Blood Moon is in two nights and I'm ready to meet my mate."

"That’s my girl." She said, about to hug me then wrinkled her nose. "I don’t really want to touch you right now…"

I laughed. "Point taken." I giggled, remembering that Rayhan had actually come all over my breasts… How was I going to face him…? I groaned.

"You need strong painkillers to help with that hangover and your werewolf healing will do the rest." She said, getting up. "And you better hurry, uncle El wants to see you."

"Thanks." I said with a smile as she left my room.

Well, I better get on with the day. No one is going to wait for me and I still have people to heal and help!

I made my way into the dining room. Seeing that Alejandro was missing but Aunty Indy, Frederick, Darien and Jasmin were all there. Odd. Where were Alejandro and Serena?

"Finally." Dad said.

I dared not look at Rayhan, who was sitting next to Dad. I took the only seat available that wasn’t Alejandro's, feeling really nervous…

"Sorry, late night." I mumbled, then wished I hadn’t said that.

"Oh, how so?" Aunty Indy said with a smile.

I looked at her, I wasn’t happy with her either. She was hiding all her issues from her family. Even Frederick was acting so normal with the way he was talking to Dad...

"Just." I said, tugging at the sleeves of my peach-coloured top.

"The food smells so good I think I'm going to orgasm." Raven said.

All eyes turned to her and Dad gave her a frown.

"Seriously Raven?"

"Yes! This is food porn!" She said, motioning at the table. "Uncle El, you really need to stop frowning so much. How about you get Aunty Scarlett to reward you if you go a day without frowning?"

Dear goddess… Help this girl. I smiled despite myself.

"I get enough rewards without doing anything, so thanks for the unneeded advice." Dad said with a cocky smirk.

I groaned.

"Dad, I don’t need to know about your bedroom activities." I said as Aunty Indy and Darien chuckled.

"She asked for it." He said, motioning to Raven, before turning to Rayhan and beginning to ask him about his family.

I felt relieved but my mind did wander towards Alejandro’s empty seat. I felt someone watching me and looked up to see Darien observing me. I raised a questioning brow at him but he simply shook his head, giving me a smile.

"Where’s Serena?" I asked.
