Page 72 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

I hesitated. Should I go see? I could hear things breaking and shouting. I slowly made my way out of the room.

"Alpha! Stop!"

"Alejandro! You will kill him!" Darien’s voice came.

I stopped at the top of the stairs; my heart seemed to pause at the sight before me. The entire hall was unrecognisable, whilst a wolf and Lycan were fighting. I had never seen such a terrifying sight in my life.

A Lycan… It was true… He was something completely different… He towered far above his human height of 6 foot 5 inches. His fur was so black it looked almost blue and the suffocating aura that rolled off of him made my knees weak. Twelve warriors were trying to stop him from killing the large glossy black wolf.

Rayhan… I could smell the blood and my heart thumped, feeling a fear I had never felt before. I saw Serena making her way around the warriors and Darien as she hurried upstairs to me.

"What happened?! Claire mind linked Darien." She whispered, dragging me back down the hall.

"He… He kissed Kiara… Although he’s engaged to Jasmin… and then I don’t know what Rayhan must have said…" I said.

Kiara needed to stay away from him, he was dangerous…

"What? Engaged to Jasmin? That… Oh hell… but I thought…" Serena shook her head. "Stay with Kiara. When he’s like this, it’s better everyone is out of his way. Jasmin took Raihana out the window and is staying away. It’s better if you come with me too. The both of you."

"Umm, Kiara went for a run…" I said.

I felt a little unsettled. Serena frowned, before we both flinched as the entire ground shook once more.

"Get Rayhan to the hospital now!" Darien growled.

My heart sank. Was he ok? Goddess, this Alpha really was an A-grade asshole!

"Ok girl, come on we need to leave. I’ll find Kiara… Can she... I mean, she can’t see at night, can she?" Serena asked me as she pulled me towards Kiara’s room, clearly not wanting to come off as offensive in any way. "We will leave out the window. I’ll tell someone to find Kiara. You can stay at mine until things are ok, Raihana’s already there."

I nodded; this trip was turning into a nightmare… I just hoped Kiara and Rayhan were ok…

KIARA

I don’t know how long I’ve been running. Blindly knocking into things at times, not that I cared. The pain took the edge off the one in my chest. I had ignored the patrol wolves around his territory and just ran past them. My leg was hurting now and my limp was worse. I finally sunk down near a river, but I didn’t get to rest when Greg’s voice filled my head.

‘Princess, where are you? There’s an entire squad out searching for you! It’s not safe out there!’ He sounded alarmed and I cursed internally, hoping he didn’t tell dad.

‘Relax Greg, I'm just chilling near the river.’

‘The Beta says you need to tell us your exact location. We need to make sure you are safe. Alpha Elijah will have our heads.’

I sighed.

‘I'm not sure where exactly, I can’t see remember? Just, near a river…’ I replied.

They’d probably find me soon, I'm sure the border patrol would probably know what direction I went in. I covered my eyes with my paws although all I could see was the glow of the moon.

The pain I had felt had eased up a little, I was now angrier at the fact that he had gotten to me again. I swear by Selene the Goddess, I won’t let it happen again. I would focus on Valentin and the hospital, leave early in the morning and return late at night. Hopefully, when aunty Indigo comes, we can go stay at hers. I'm sure she’d happily let Raihana stay too…

I sighed deeply, trying to ignore the anguish that was eating me up from inside…

‘Princess!’ Harry’s voice came.

I resisted a groan and stood up, trying not to limp. I had overworked myself.

‘Come.’ He said. I felt him brush my side, urging me forward.
