Page 51 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

"Oh don’t give her that! Get in line Mr, there are plenty of men wanting a piece of her." Raven boasted.

"I’m Jasmin Bloom and this is my father Alpha Bill, of the Quick Fang pack." The redhead now said, looking at me keenly. "Weren’t you the one with Alpha earlier when I came, and you just walked off?"

"Nice to meet you. Apologies, I had to make a call." I replied smoothly.

Like hell was it nice to meet her. My foot! Yes, I am being a petty brat right now but seeing her arms around Alejandro threw me off… I didn’t know what to make of them. She seemed close to him…

We all tucked in, with Alpha Bill boasting about his latest business ventures. I could tell he was very prideful and loved to gloat. I was kind of surprised Alejandro was allowing him to prattle on. I mean, didn’t he have a short fuse? I glanced at him, only to find him looking at me, clearly not paying an ounce of attention to Bill. My heart skipped a beat and I looked away quickly.

"So is Elijah still living in that tiny house he built?" He chortled, now looking at me.

My eyes flashed in annoyance.

"Not that it should be any of your concern, but why don’t you ask me how well our pack is doing instead? I’m sure Dad’s reputation speaks for himself, he is the strongest Alpha around."

"That would be Alpha Alejandro, sweetie." Jasmin added with a small irritating smile.

"Alpha Alejandro is a Lycan. He is at another level, and he is the king. I’m talking about werewolf Alphas." I said confidently, now turning my attention back to Alpha Bill. "I don’t mean any disrespect but perhaps you should stop worrying about your business ventures and work out a little more. For an Alpha, you look rather tubby."

Ok, maybe I was a bit too blunt. Alpha Bill’s face turned as red as his hair and I heard Alejandro snicker. My cheeks heated up but I dared not look at him.

"Wh-How! How dare you?! Alpha Alejandro! Will you allow this child to mock me like this in your home?"

I picked up my glass. Dad did say I only needed to behave around Alejandro…

"You did mock her father first Bill. I can’t really stop her from defending him can I?"

His words made everyone look at him in surprise.

"Umm, you can hot stuff? You’re king remember?" Jasmin said placing her hand on his arm.

Alejandro turned his cold glare on her and she instantly removed her hand.

"Don’t remind me of who the fuck I am. Try to remember it yourself before you or your father tell me what the fuck I should do." He said dangerously. Her pale skin only seemed to pale a little more.

"Uncle is so nice." Raihana said as she popped a full potato in her mouth.

We all looked at her. Yeah, maybe she was a little delusional… There were a wide variety of words I’d use to describe Alejandro. Smoking, delicious, sexy, yummylicious, dangerous - I could go on. But ‘nice’ was not one of them.

Alpha Bill was now eating as if he were being forced to eat poison and I stifled a giggle looking at his face.

"Kiara." Alejandro said suddenly. My giggles vanished as I turned to look at him, trying not to relive the way my name sounded on his lips. His face was unreadable and it took all my willpower to control my emotions. I knew everyone could hear my racing heart. A girl could simply be scared of him, right?

"Yes?" I said sipping my juice, not bothering to spare him more than a second of my gaze. I could feel his aura darkening. Seems like his royal highness didn’t like to hear a no. Well, too bad.

"Meet me in my office on the first floor after dinner, I need to discuss a few things with you."

I raised my eyebrow. Goddess no. Being alone with him was not what I needed…

"Can’t we just discuss them now?" I said nonchalantly.

He growled dangerously. "Don’t fucking push me."

"Fine." I said, exhaling in frustration.

Jerk. He gave me a cold smirk and I wondered what he was thinking behind those dark orbs of his…

"We have a lot to discuss too, Alpha." Bill interjected.
