Page 21 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

Although they didn’t live here anymore, Dad kept their mansion in good shape and they stayed in it when they visited.

“Why are you here?” I asked as he set me down again.

“The King’s here. There are a few things he’s discussing and I thought I’d come to see if your dad needs help.”

“Ah, I see.”

“Well, I won’t stop you. You look like someone with a goal in mind.” He said with a small smile. I nodded. Damn yeah, I had a goal to claw a certain jerk’s eyes out!

“I’ll see you later, granddad!” I called before hurrying off.

It took me a further ten minutes before I caught the intoxicating woody scent mixed with male musk. My stomach flipped and I frowned. How could a man be so sexually attractive while also being a complete jerk? Oh, wait! You just need to behave like a prick, like the Alpha king.

“Do you really have to ruin my day by showing me that face of yours?” His annoying voice came.

I frowned and scanned the area. He was here, but where?

I gasped when he suddenly landed in front of me, a dangerous look on his face. I looked up at the tree behind him then back at him.

“Before speaking, remember my warning.” He said coldly, his dark eyes piercing into me.

I gulped despite myself. What’s he going to do? Me being me, I had to speak.

“After causing issues by opening your mouth, do you think I care? Fuck your warning and fuck you.”

That was the wrong reply. I felt the darkness swirl around him. His eyes blazed red as his power wrapped around me like a storm, pressing down on me. The urge to yield filled me.

Run! Danger! It was what my wolf was screaming, but my feet were rooted to the spot, refusing to budge. I closed my eyes the moment his hand wrapped around my neck.

The most dangerous sinister growl I have ever heard left his lips and my heart pounded against my rib cage, sending shivers up my spine. Never had I heard something so terrifying. It made me want to cower and yield to him.

I think I just pissed off the Alpha king. Scratch that, I definitely did.

14. Her Anger

ALEJANDRO

My anger flared up and I grabbed her throat, not caring that my claws dug into her soft skin. I hate disrespect and I will not tolerate it from anyone. I warned her and if she thought I was playing, then she had a lot to learn. I slammed her to the ground, but at the last moment I found myself slowing down. I couldn’t. I don’t know why, but I couldn’t fucking hurt her the way I wanted. I internally felt the crunch resonate through me as she met the ground.

She gasped; her hands were wrapped around my wrist tightly as the smell of blood filled the air. I saw the pain that flickered across her face but it did nothing to lessen the burning flame of anger in her eyes.

“It’s all you’re good at, right? Do it again if it makes you feel better, but I am not scared of you!” She hissed.

Her words sounded distant, as all I could focus on was the blood that surrounded the ground around her. Fuck! I shouldn’t have done it. My heart was racing in a way it hadn’t since the day I had awoken to find I had killed my mother. To find out I was a fucking monster.

I was one. This was fucking proof of that. I let go of her and moved back. I had hurt her, for what? For being one of the rare people to actually stand up to me? To treat me like a normal being? She got to her feet, her eyes filled with a burning rage and I knew it wasn’t because of the fact I had just smashed her skull into the fucking ground.

Where my claws had dug into her, red gashes were left behind. One thing was clear, if her father saw that I wasn’t going to hear the fucking end of it... He was one of those I wouldn’t mind killing off… But then again, he was useful. Not that I’d admit that.

“I don’t know why people think you’re some kind of king. All I know is you’re a petty tattle tailing asshole!” She spat resentfully.

I could see those stunning eyes blaze with anger and for once in my fucking life, I didn’t want that.

“I am a king, whether you like it or not. It fucking doesn’t change anything.”

Yeah, even if I didn’t want to piss her off, my mouth had other plans. I crossed my arms as she walked up to me. She had an aura around her. It was faint, but it was there. Not an Alpha aura… it was subtle, something different… What was it?

She suddenly shoved me hard. I frowned, not even budging an inch.
