Page 62 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

Despite the situation, those words made my heart skip a beat. Did Alejandro really say that? My heart warmed and I knew my cheeks were heating up.

"That would be great. Could I start with some blood samples?" I asked.

"Of course, I will give you access to the supplies room and lab. Warrior Julio and Bryan, if you can both make sure Miss Kiara is kept safe." Doctor Callum said, and the two men nodded.

"What’s his name?" I asked, looking at the man on the bed.

"Valentin." Callum replied.

"Maybe a visit from his mate, may ease him."

"That isn’t really an option. It would only distress her, seeing his condition like this."

I didn’t question further and nodded before I moved to leave the room to get what I needed. Valentin suddenly grabbed my wrist, instantly the warriors were about to interfere. My eyes flashed and I glared at them.

"Please, unless I tell you otherwise, don’t butt in." I said to them. Couldn't they see his condition?

Why was it that wherever I went, people thought I couldn't handle myself? I slowly freed myself and looked at the man.

"I’ll be back." I said before I walked out, welcoming the fresh clear air.

My stomach was hurting thanks to the fact I had no breakfast. I still felt tired and achy, but I was more excited to focus on the patient. I knew I was half avoiding Alejandro, but I didn’t care. Not after how he ignored me this morning.

Three hours later, I had several samples and assessments done. I was sitting in the lab looking at the results and comparing them to the ones that were taken this morning, two days ago and then a week ago.

What caught my attention was the latest ones, which seemed to contain slightly less poison. Was it the fact he was in a calmer state of mind? I tapped my pen on the table as I jotted down some notes. My stomach rumbled loudly and I saw the other doctors who were working on stuff look at me. I blushed in embarrassment until one of the women came over.

"Miss, you’ve been here for hours. Why don’t you call it a day?" She suggested.

"I think I will, I wanted to prepare some medicine for him before I leave." I said.

"Just don’t burn yourself out." She replied before walking off.

I looked down at my notes, I needed to look through the journal copies I had made. Glad that I had brought them along. There might be something in there that could help. Apart from that, I wanted to visit his mate.

I placed my notepad aside and labelled all my vials and research before storing them in a container and placing them in the fridges at the back. I then got to making the medicine.

I finally left the hospital holding my notes late in the afternoon. I took my phone out, realising I had a few missed calls from Raven and two from a number I didn’t know. I frowned as I unlocked it. Ignoring Ravens' countless messages, I sent her a quick message telling her I’ll be back a little later. The unnamed number had also left a message.

‘Hey Kiara, It’s me, Rayhan. Could we talk when you’re free?’

I let guilt wash over me and I took a deep breath. Yeah, maybe we did need to talk.

‘Sure, I’m heading to the pack hall for some food. Meet me there? By the way, I’ll be cheeky and ask you to bring some money - I forgot mine when I left this morning.’

I hit send and then decided to head to the pack hall’s diner.

I was halfway there when none other than Carmen came in front of me, I saw the flicker of annoyance in her eyes. I didn’t need this right now.

"How are you finding your visit?" She asked. I looked into her dark, piercing eyes.

"Great actually." I was about to walk past her when she stepped in my way. "Can I help you with something?" I asked, my eyes flashing.

"Calm down, I'm just curious… I heard you’re an impressive fighter from your pack member, Greg, was it? I was wondering if you ever wanted to match me. I'm just curious how good you are."
