Page 92 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

She smirked.

"Oh really? Well girl, we both know someone took really good care of them and seems to adore them, so they get enough love." She said with a gesture towards Alejandro’s room. I felt my cheeks heat up slightly.

"I don’t think so."

I knew he couldn't keep his eyes off of me, but for her to assume that, was it that obvious?

"Well, he always seems to have his eyes on you." She whispered as we made our way downstairs.

"Maybe, so what are you doing today?" I asked, desperately wanting to change the topic.

"Shopping with Raihana and Serena." She said. "Sure you don’t want to join?"

"I can’t. I'm going to go to the hospital to try and help the ones who need it the most."

She pouted but nodded in understanding. I wrapped my arms around her.

"I promise sometime before the Blood Moon, we’ll go out, ok?"

"Deal, I want a whole day." She bargained lightly, wrapping her arms around my waist.

I nodded in agreement; I missed our time together. Since coming here, things have been interesting to say the least.

"You ok?" She asked with concern, noticing my rather obvious limp. I smiled.

"Perfectly." I said, flashing her a smile. I would tell her I sparred but I knew she’d go ballistic.

"Breakfast smells so good…" Raven said, inhaling the yummy food being cooked.

Before I could reply the front door opened to reveal Jasmin standing there in a black leather skirt, a black net top that showed off her bra underneath, paired with killer heels and red lipstick. The woman sure was hot. I wasn’t blind to that… She even reminded me a little of Mum, from the way she dressed and her red hair. Although Mum’s was dyed red, this woman was a natural redhead. Apart from their fashion sense and hair, they were nothing else alike.

Well, I guess here’s my chance to apologise. Our eyes met and she pursed her lips, clearly pissed off to see me.

"Can we talk?" I asked, letting go of Raven, who gave Jasmin a cold glare before glancing at me and then walking off to the kitchen.

"About what?" She said, crossing her arms.

"Can we talk outside?" I asked.

She smirked.

"Sure." She said, her eyes falling to my ankle as I walked to the door, finding it amusing.

I walked past her and stepped outside. She ran her fingers through her hair, a bored look on her face.

"Make it quick, I'm here to discuss our engagement with Alejandro."

That sent a stab of pain through me but my face remained passive. I shouldn’t care.

"That’s nice. The reason I wanted to talk with you was to apologise. If I knew he had someone, I would never have kissed him back." I said quietly... Or at least I would’ve tried not to.

My words seemed to surprise her as she searched my eyes suspiciously.

"Are you actually apologising?" She asked.

"Yes. I'm not a home-wrecker. I wish you both a happy married and mated life. Congratulations." I said and smiled softly.

There is a sense of tranquillity when you can just accept something and let go. Even though it hurt inside, seeing that an apology made someone else feel better was enough. I knew it would take me time to get over these feelings I had towards him, the way he made me feel… But he chose Jasmin, that was enough to show what he wanted in life.
