Page 49 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

"Not that I need your approval."

She gave me a dirty look. If I got a fucking pound for every time she gave me one of her looks, I’d be way richer than I already am. We stepped out of the double doors and I welcomed the fresh air, mixed with her intoxicating scent.

"I’m excited to work there. Doctor Callum’s pretty good."

I glanced at her, watching the sunlight hit her hair. My breath hitched at how fucking gorgeous she looked right now. One of the stray strands of her hair tickled her nose and my fingers itched to brush it aside. I was no longer listening to what she was saying.

I reached out and brushed it aside, making her stop mid-sentence, her beautiful eyes widening as they looked into mine.

"Alpha Al!"

Fuck. Jasmin had found me…

Kiara and I both turned to see the pretty redhead. Jasmin Bloom, 5.10, grey eyes and a body many women would be envious of.

"I missed you, handsome." With those words, she wrapped her arms around my neck. I couldn't respond, a swirl of emotions flitting through me... but above all others I could feel and see was the hurt and confusion in Kiara’s unique eyes.

26. Dinner In Midnight Blue

KIARA

The moment that red-headed bombshell wrapped her arms around Alejandro’s neck, I felt a painful stab in my chest. My wolf was hurting and so was I. I tried my best to mask my emotions as I took my phone out of my pocket and whispered an excuse me whilst I walked away. It hurt like a bitch. Why though? We were nothing. Breathe girl you got this. I took deep breaths as I walked away. No, I was not going to cry, nor was I going to show I cared.

I came to an abrupt stop before I almost knocked into none other than Carmen. She looked at me, with barely disguised resentment.

"Watch it pup." She said.

"I didn’t bump into you, so watch your attitude." I snapped back. Don’t mess with me. I don’t care if you’re the fucking warrior princess or the Lycan king himself when I'm pissed, I don’t like anyone in my way. The confusion and pain I’d felt had now moulded into annoyance and irritation.

Her lips curled but she said nothing.

"With an attitude like that, you won’t get far with the king."

"Who said I was trying to get far with him?" I countered coldly.

I pushed past her and stormed off back towards Alejandro’s mansion, I was no longer in the mood to loiter around. I decided on taking a long shower and napping, I needed to cool off and I remembered my promise to Dad to behave… I had told Doctor Callum I’d come to the hospital from tomorrow and I was looking forward to it.

The sound of Ava Max’s ‘Kings and Queens’ awoke me from my slumber and I growled in frustration. The glowing screen of my phone was the only light in the darkness, I reached for it and saw Liam’s face on the screen. Sighing, I answered it.

"Yeah?" I groaned.

"Were you really sleeping? Raven said that, but you’re not the type to nap unless you’re mad…" He trailed off, realizing he had hit the nail on the head.

Smartass, guess that’s what happens when you’re twins.

"Yeah and like I promised Dad, I'm behaving." I grumbled.

"Haha, serves you right."

"You’re being annoying." I muttered, trying to feel for the lamp in the darkness, before it came on by a simple touch. I smiled; touch lamps were convenient.

"So, I called to tell you Aunty Indy’s getting back in like a weeks’ time, so you’ll get to see her there." He said.

My eyes flew open and I all but screamed in excitement.

"Wait! Really?! I thought she wasn’t getting back until after the blood moon?!"
