Page 34 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

"Do you?" She asked softly.

Our eyes met as we both stared each other down. I was aware of her breasts now touching me and I stepped closer, crushing my body against hers. Goddess, she was a fucking temptress. She pissed me off and fucking tempted me all at the same fucking time. I felt her body tense against mine and the tiny shaky breath she let out.

"What’s the matter? Does daddy’s little girl need a real man to satisfy her fucking thirst?" I taunted.

Her eyes were hooded, her lips parted, and I smirked. I had her trapped, or so I thought.

She smiled seductively, running one hand down my chest. Her fingers grazing my pierced nipple, whilst her other hand ran down my waist until she rested it on my ass. Sending a wave of pleasure through me.

"Or does the Alpha King want an annoying incompetent eighteen-year-old?" She taunted breathlessly.

My eyes narrowed and I let go of her, pulling away from her grasp on my ass.

"Keep dreaming. There are countless women who I take an interest in; to fuck, use and throw aside when I'm done. If anything, you’re not even worth that." I said harshly before I turned and stormed out of the fucking room.

20. A Little Freedom

KIARA

There was something between Alejandro and me. I don’t know what it was but I saw the way he didn’t even bother to look at the women who wanted a sliver of the Alpha Kings' attention. But when he would look at me, I didn’t miss the hunger in his dark onyx eyes. He could deny it all he wanted but I got his heart racing too, just as he did mine. What was it?

Soon I knew he’d be leaving and returning to his own pack. Just the thought made my stomach sink. I was totally confused; I mean, the guy got me so worked up that we were constantly at each other’s throats. It was weird. I had never been attracted to anyone so strongly before – then there was the fact that he was thirty-four! That in itself shocked me, he was almost double my age. If Dad knew what went through my mind, I'm sure he’d lock me in the cells for the rest of my life.

Things with Damon had been kind of strange. I mean, he was quieter, and I knew our ‘breakup’ had affected him. The night after the attacks I went to see him, we did end up having sex but for the first time, I found it hard. Although he was as amazing as ever, I couldn't stop the guilt that filled me. Guilt that had no basis to be there. I couldn't forget his quiet words when we had simply laid there.

‘I’ve already lost you.’

I wouldn’t forget them, but it also made me realise that I had hurt him. It only added to the need to leave the pack. To just have a little break to come to terms with it, as well as having space to breathe. Coming to that; I hadn't asked Dad again, I mean, a lot had been going on.

It had been two days since the attack. We had lost 4 men and 1 woman. Kimberly Stone, the sweet twenty-five-year-old nurse who had been pregnant. The funerals were held yesterday and security had been tightened considerably.

We had just finished training for the morning and I had just showered and got dressed in pink leggings and a white chiffon tunic. I paired it with white sandals and pink feathery earrings to complete my look.

‘Kiara, come to my office at the packhouse.’ Dad’s voice came through the mind link. ‘Bring Raven too.’

I frowned. Did I mess up again? What did I do now?

‘Ok.’

I quickly sent Raven a text and headed out. Seeing Damon standing with Liam, I paused on the bottom step. I hadn't seen him since the other night when I snuck out of his bed, although he had said to stay the night, I hadn't been able to. Our eyes met and my heart raced.

"Morning." He said, breaking the silence. I could see Liam observing us sharply.

"Morning, you weren’t at training." I replied smoothly.

"I was setting up some sensors around the pack grounds."

"Oh, no wonder…" I replied. Goddess, don’t let me make this awkward. "Anyway, I need to go, Dad’s called me to his office at the packhouse.”

"You too?" Liam said, frowning.

"Why? You two as well?"

Damon nodded as he exchanged a look with Liam.

"Weird, he called Raven too…" I added.

"Let’s get going then." Liam said pushing open the front door, and the three of us stepped out.
