Page 91 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

I froze. Suddenly Dad’s words came rushing back to me - ‘Our pack is a hot spot for the attacks…’

"Wait, did Dad have this assumption too?" I said, now standing up and staring at Alejandro accusingly.

Is that why Dad sent me away?

"Maybe, maybe not. You’re going to have to ask him. Originally, we thought it could be your mother." He said.

"We?! Fuck. So, he only let me come to keep me safe!" I exclaimed.

Irritation and anger were now building within me.

"Chill the fuck out. He did it for your own fucking good. Pups these days." He growled as he made his way to the door.

"Hey, don’t call me a pup! I have the perfect way to piss Dad off anyway. I’ll tell him what I’ve been doing here…" I muttered.

He looked at me and for a second I swore I saw amused curiosity there, but it was gone as quickly as it came.

"Oh yeah? That would be fun to watch."

"Yeah, I’ll tell him we had sex... He’ll regret the decision for the rest of his life…" My amusement died away.

No, I would never use that. Not after knowing how Dad still blamed himself for my ankle.

"Sounds pretty good. Maybe I’ll do the honours myself." He said, humourlessly.

My smile vanished as he stood, his hand still on the handle.

"Don’t. On that topic… have you told Jasmin?" I asked.

"No, I have nothing to tell her. I agreed to marry her the day after that night." He said.

My heart skipped a beat but I somehow felt a little better… So I would only need to apologise for the kiss.

"Why the fuck do you even care? If anyone, shouldn’t I be the one to fucking regret it?" He asked.

His cold, dark eyes now bore into mine.

"You don’t even feel guilty? Really? Not even for any of your actions?" I asked.

He looked away, opening the door.

"No. I don’t give a fuck."

The door shut and I lay down on my side with a sigh. Tomorrow I needed to apologise to her, to get it off my chest.

-----

The following day I felt much better and took a nice cool shower. Getting dressed in a pair of white torn jeans and a neon pink crop top, I sat down on the bed. I wrapped a bandage around my ankle to help support it before I pulled on some white sneakers and plaited my waist-length hair in a loose braid. Once I put on some matching pink earrings, I finished the look off with some subtle make-up. My hands were almost fully healed and my back was perfect. It seemed Alejandro’s saliva worked better than the standard Alphas.

I now looked at my hands, placing them together as I tried to heal myself once again. I opened my eyes, the dull ache remained and nothing had changed. Hmm, guess it won’t work… Maybe I just wasn’t meant to heal myself?

I left my room and bumped straight into Raven.

"Ow my nose! Even those plushies didn’t protect it!" She said, rubbing her cute button nose.

I smiled in amusement.

"I feel sorry for my poor boobies." I said, giving her a mock glare.
