Page 23 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

“Stay away from him.” Elijah said coldly to her. His hand was tenderly feeling the back of her head, his anger calming when he realised it wasn’t as bad as it looked. Nevertheless, the rage was still there.

“I’m fine, dad.” She urged, but the man wasn’t going to listen.

He looked at me with anger and rage growing in his eyes.

“If it weren’t for what you have done in the past, I’d fucking tear you apart or die trying.” He snapped, now moving his daughter behind his back.

“I wouldn’t mind killing you.” I remarked.

“Dad, leave it, please.” She urged.

So, she was worried for her dad. Funny.

“Kiara, I’m not finished with you but for now, you’re grounded.” He said icily. I smirked. Told you she was a little princess.

“Dad! I’m 18, you can’t ground me!”

“Watch me.” He growled.

His Alpha aura rolled off him and I frowned when she flinched. How the fuck was it that mine didn’t work on her… “Go home.”

I saw her struggle before she turned and stormed off, unable to disobey him. He turned to me, his eyes still dark cobalt.

“Touch my daughter one more fucking time and I swear I’ll kill you.”

“As I said, I wouldn’t mind killing you.” I said arrogantly. He gave me a cold smirk.

“Don’t underestimate a father’s wrath.”

“I’m shivering in fear.” I mocked before pushing past him roughly.

A sudden thought had entered my head and I felt uneasy. That wasn’t possible, was it? No, I had to be wrong. Definitely fucking wrong. That would be like the worst fucking scenario ever. It wasn’t a possibility, and if it were… Fuck it. It definitely couldn’t be. I was not going to think like that. Not now. Not fucking ever.

15. What's Best For Her

LIAM

"Liam! Wait!"

I closed my eyes, trying to calm myself down as Raven caught up to me. I didn’t want to talk to anyone right now. I mean, I just realised my best friend was screwing my sister behind my back. I don’t know what was worse, the fact they were sleeping around or the fact they were doing it so casually.

I knew Damon had a sex partner; he had told me that. However, he always spoke of her with this small smile and I knew he liked her, but he had never told me who she was. Well, that made sense now. I didn’t once think it was Kiara.

"Liam." Raven said, now placing her hand on my arm.

She was tiny but her personality made up for it. I was 6,4 give or take, and towered over her.

"Raven." I replied, ignoring the look of concern in her unique eyes.

"They’re adults, Liam." She said gently.

I knew she was hurt but I was not sure if it was only because of Kiara hiding it from her or because it was Damon. I knew she hadn't known about it; the shock had been clear on her face when Alpha Alejandro had mentioned it.

"There’s something called trust, Raven." I replied, walking into my office and dropping into my chair.

She walked over to me and I tried not to admire how good she looked. Yeah, maybe I'm as guilty as Damon. I’ve had feelings for Raven since forever but I never made a move. Not because I was a wuss but because I was waiting for my mate. If the Goddess decreed, then Raven would be mine. If not, I would always appreciate her as a friend. Although I sometimes thought she had some feelings for me, I got the same vibe from her towards Damon.

She now propped herself onto my desk facing me, concern clear on her face. Her refreshing yet delicious scent was calming.
