Page 42 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

"Yeah, they will be staying down the hall…. They came this morning. Fuck, now I'm going to have a fucking full house." He muttered as he walked out the door.

I bit my tongue to keep from replying and instead walked over to the bed. I dropped onto it and stared at the ceiling.

Being here made me nervous and excited… Alejandro. He was the reason for my excitement - being here with no Liam or Dad, I didn’t trust myself. I was finally free! I could breathe. My mind drifted back to the arrogant Alpha and I bit my lip. Was it so bad to want a piece of the Alpha King?

Just the thought sent a throbbing ache to my core and I sat up, just as the door opened to reveal a girl with dark brown eyes and black curls up to her shoulders. Her eyes widened when she saw me.

"Kiara!" She shrieked as she ran over to me and pounced on top of me, knocking the breath from me.

"Ow… Rai…" I groaned as she squeezed me painfully. "Ouch, ouch, ouch…"

"Get off her Rai." A deep masculine voice came and I looked to see Rayhan standing there.

He had grown a lot. Now towering over 6 feet, he had a small goatee and his curly hair was pulled into a pony. I could see some similarities between him and his uncle, but the biggest difference was his warmer aura and the smile that played on his lips.

"Rayhan!" I said sitting up. He came over and I stood up, wrapping my arms around his waist. He hugged me tightly.

"You’ve grown."

"She’s gotten sexy." Raihana chimed in as she looked at her brother, giving him a suggestive wink and motioning at me.

"Time’s not changed you." I said to the sixteen-year-old who had now dropped back on the bed in contentment.

"Oooo this means uncle's back! Let’s go annoy him." She got off the bed and Rayhan sighed.

"Don’t. Be grateful he agreed to let us come." He muttered.

"That should be my line." I said. Rayhan smirked.

"That was a miracle too. I thought Liam said Raven was coming too?"

"She is. She should be here soon." I said. They knew Raven well as we were both glued at the hip since forever. "Your uncle was speeding."

It was really weird calling Alejandro their uncle… Was it alright to be crushing on my friend’s uncle?

"Wait, he drove you?" Rayhan confirmed, curiosity filling his eyes.

"Yeah." I said nonchalantly. There was a light knock on the door and a young man, clearly an omega, stood there with my bags.

"Sorry to disturb you, the King said to bring your bags up."

"Thanks, you can just put them on the bed." I said.

"Well, we’ll let you freshen up and catch you in a bit?" Rayhan suggested.

I nodded as the siblings left the room and I closed the door. I took a deep breath, this was going to be exciting - it felt like a breath of fresh air.

------

It was two hours later and Raven had finally arrived too. After she had freshened up, whilst I caught up a little with the siblings, we headed downstairs for lunch. We stepped into the dining room to see three other people sitting there at the long black table. The high back chairs gave the room a rather stoic and regal feel, despite the design being very modern. The walls held some canvas art, all in the same tones as the rest of the house.

"Elijah’s daughter, what an honour." The man said, now standing up. I could tell he was strong; his aura was one of an Alpha’s "I’m Darien, Alejandro’s Beta."

"Nice to meet you." I said, looking at the man who looked around Alejandro’s age. He had shoulder-length brown hair. I had heard of him but never met him.

"Likewise princess. My mate, Serena." He replied smiling, introducing one of the two women who sat there.

The woman stood up and smiled. She was pretty with brown eyes and blond hair. I shook hands with her before turning to the last woman who sat with arrogance in her seat. I instantly didn’t like the vibe I was getting off of her. I could tell she was sizing me up, just how I had noticed her sharp eyes on me when I walked over to the table.
