Page 35 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

Five minutes later, we all entered Dad’s office only to find Mom, Beta Aaron - who I called uncle - and Damon’s dad there. As well as Alejandro and one of the men who had come with him - Dustin, I think it was.

I wonder what this was about…

"Come in." Dad said from where he sat on his chair, like the Alpha he was. Mum was seated on his leg. Uncle Aaron and Dustin were sat in the seats opposite dad.

I glanced at Alejandro; the man was stood leaning against the far wall smoking away. Despite not being seated, the power that wrapped around him made it clear who the supreme Alpha in the room was. Did the man ever not smoke?

"Someone, crack a window. I'm suffocating." Raven remarked, fake coughing.

Uncle Aaron looked at her in amusement and shook his head as Liam and Damon gave her a pointed look. I smiled slightly, stepping forward.

"Why did you call us?"

"It’s regarding you wanting to go to another pack for a short while." Dad said, I didn’t miss the emphasis on the word 'short'.

"Oh really? You’re going to let me?" I asked, stepping forward and looking at dad with excitement in my eyes.

Dad frowned at my obvious delight and I smiled sheepishly.

"So, I can go right? Where am I going? Can I choose?"

"Kia…" Mom said smirking slightly. She stood up and I didn’t miss Dad growling at that. I smiled, they really were the perfect pair. "You’re going to the Night Walkers Pack."

I looked at mum stunned. That was the royal pack, Alejandro’s pack. My stomach fluttered and my heart raced in excitement. His pack. I was confused though, why would my dad send me there when he warned me to stay away from him? Not to mention the man had injured me too and Dad had flipped. Luckily, he didn't reinforce the grounding business.

"I think it’s best. The pack is safe, and Rafael said Rayhan and Raihana will be visiting there for a few weeks anyway. You’ll have company and then when the blood moon ceremony takes place you can return home with Liam or if you meet your mate…"

Dad trailed off; his brows furrowed deeply.

"So, I get like three weeks?" I asked. It was better than nothing but the thought of staying at his pack... My stomach knotted and I felt anticipation ripple through me.

"Yes." Dad said.

"Is that pack really the best place?" Damon suddenly spoke.

‘Damon don’t, you know he’ll say something.’ I said through the link.

"Yes son. It was Scarlett’s idea and Alpha Alejandro kindly agreed." Uncle Nathan spoke up.

I saw Dad frown at Mum and it seemed Mum may have had more of a say in this one. But if Dad agreed, it meant he too thought this was best.

"I’m doing a fucking favour, so make sure you don’t piss me off." Alejandro said coldly, now glaring at me.

"Dad… Do you really trust that she’s safe there?" Liam said, concern clear in his voice.

I resisted rolling my eyes. Did these two seriously not know how excited I was?

"She isn't a baby, Goddess! I feel sorry for your mates. Give the girl some space!" Raven said, she rushed forward. "Uncle El, sooo you thought about what I said?"

She batted her lashes at Dad who gave her a sceptical look.

"I did. Quit that, before I change my mind." Dad growled.

Raven smirked and moved back, giving me an excited look. I raised my eyebrows in curiosity.

"Raven wanted to go with you and we all know she doesn't listen to no’s." Dad said. Alejandro now looked up.

"I’m not taking two brats." He said bluntly.
