Page 108 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

Just when I thought that this was it, the Manangal calmed down and began to sniff us out. Cocking its leering head towards Kiara, its tongue darting out licking its lips before it hissed in satisfaction.

I tried to move, my body screaming at me to stop but I couldn't let it get Kia!

It leapt towards Kiara, mouth open wide, when I saw a black blur enter through the window. My heart skipped a beat as the dark, dangerous aura that sent chills down my spine filled the room. The blur lunged at the monster, I could feel his intense wrath as it tore the Manangal to pieces. A scene I wished I didn’t have to see and one that I knew I would remember for the rest of my life. The work of the Lycan King himself.

But… at least we were safe. With that thought in mind, I let myself go.

ALEJANDRO

The moment I tore that fucker to pieces, I turned to the bed. My heart had been going crazy since I heard that there had been three Manangal’s too. I let out a sigh of relief when I saw my sexy little nympho was still asleep.

This was no fucking coincidence; it was as if they had been waiting. Seeing Kiara’s ability had made them attack blindly but before that… where had they been? How had they stayed off our radar and managed to get so close? That fucking worried me.

There was something different about them this time. They had attacked angrily and the wounds they had inflicted were worse. My back and arm were still not healed, and that wasn’t normal. I glanced at Raihana, who was just standing there clutching her fucking phone like it would protect her.

I grabbed a pair of shorts, turning and shifting as I swiftly pulled them on.

"Turn on the fucking light and go get someone up here." I said to Raihana. She nodded, rushing from the room after switching the light on. I then looked at the bloody body of the brat.

I wasn’t sure if the name was fitting anymore… I had seen the damage she had done to the Manangal. She didn’t even have her wolf yet and had fought one. I had to give it to the dickhead, he sure knew how to raise strong women in that pack of his. I mind linked Darien to get to my bedroom. We needed to get Raven to the hospital, she was losing too much blood. It didn’t help that she was so slim, the fucking beasts’ claws had gone right through her. I lifted her carefully, fuck she looked like she was dead but her heart was beating strong still.

Or Kiara could heal her… I knew as much as I didn’t want her waking up to this, she would want to know if her friend needed her. I walked over to the bed and sat down with the brat in my lap as I leaned over, caressing Kiara’s face.

"Kiara… Kiara!"

Nothing. The fuck? I tapped her face lightly and saw her eyebrows furrow.

"Kiara."

Nothing. I tapped her face harder, ok, that one was a slap.

Her eyes flew open and she growled at me, bolting upright. She was about to snap until she instantly took in the scene around her, her eyes then settled on the girl in my lap.

"Raven!" She exclaimed, pushing off the blanket and rushing to my side.

I frowned. Her aura... It was stronger and more present around her... It had changed. Not like before. Her tempting scent of chocolate filled my nose and I resisted pulling her close and burying my nose into her neck. I needed some calmness after all this shit.

She closed her eyes, placing her hands on Raven’s stomach and chest, I saw the faint aura around her hands but this time it felt deeper and even looked brighter. Her eyes were also a dazzling purple as she healed her.

"What happened?" She asked, as I watched the wounds heal beneath her touch.

"You fucking went Alpha mode, or some shit, and those fuckers caught on." I said bluntly.

Seconds later, I wished I hadn’t. Guilt flashed through her eyes as she tugged her friend’s body from my arms and held her close. She kissed her forehead tenderly, holding her in her lap as she healed her fully.

"There’s poison in those…" She said, looking at my bloody arm.

"I figured as much, I'm healing but there are plenty injured." I said, checking my arm.

"I can help. This is my fault." She put Raven down and was about to stand up when I grabbed hold of her upper arm.

"Not until you tell me what pissed you off so much earlier?" I asked quietly.

She looked into my eyes and I saw the anger returning. She roughly pulled free.

"We’ll talk later. I have things to do." She said icily.
