Page 67 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

"What are you doing?"

"Baking." I said.

"Hey aunty Red, uncle El, looking good." Raven added, popping her head in front of the screen.

"Dressed like that…" Dad said, frowning at my top.

"What’s the big deal?" Mom asked him.

"Rayhan’s there."

I rolled my eyes. Dad, you’re way off the mark. It’s not Rayhan that you should be worried about…

I saw Raihana watching me, I gave her a small smile and motioned her over.

"Dad, Mom, we’re not alone. Raihana’s here and the daughter of the Alpha of the Quick Fang pack."

"Jasmin Bloom." Dad said in understanding, then turned to Mom. "Maybe he’s agreed."

"Agreed to what?" I was confused.

"Oh shoot, my cuppy cakes!" Raven exclaimed, rushing to the oven. I turned, looking at the smoke that was coming from the oven.

"Dad, we got to go. My day's been great and I was at the hospital for most of it. I'm enjoying myself. Love you both and give Liam my love too! I’ll speak to you guys later."

"Take care of yourself." Mom said with a small smile. Dad didn’t look too pleased that I rushed the call but told me he loved me and to take care of myself before ending it.

I shook my head at Ravens slightly burnt cupcakes… Ok, I’m being nice; those things were as black as charcoal. I knew this would happen. If anyone could burn cupcakes, it was Raven...

"Gosh, someone open a window!" Jasmin said, wrinkling her nose.

Raihana rushed to open one and I looked at Jasmin. She hadn't thrown any digs at me all day today. Although, after Alejandro’s comment about talking to me yesterday, she had thrown daggers at me all throughout dinner. But today she was in an exceptionally good mood. I didn’t think too much into it as I placed my blondies into the oven. I knew Alejandro liked my brownies. I wondered if he’d like these too…

34. A Reward

KIARA

Half an hour later, we had arranged the desserts on a tray. Raven had smothered her burnt cupcakes with so much icing you couldn't even see the cake at all - they looked anything but appetising. The icing dripped down the sides, making me feel a little sick. I was going to feel sorry for anyone who tried them. I didn’t tell her that though. Maybe they’d pick up the smell and not taste them.

Jasmin’s brownies looked good and so did Raihana’s cookies.

"I’ll do the honours." Jasmin was about to reach for the tray when Raihana stepped forward, her gorgeous black ringlets bouncing.

"I’ll do the honours." She said sweetly. "I want to present this to my uncle and brother."

I saw her eyes fill with slight sadness and I had a feeling she was probably remembering last night.

"Ok." Jasmin said, rolling her eyes. She adjusted her dress and smoothed her hair out.

We all trailed into the living room and I ran my fingers through my hair that was now almost dry. I felt his eyes on me and I looked up slowly, letting my fingers continue to run through my hair before I looked away.

The room was large, with dark walls, black carpet and the large windows that had black curtains which were wide open. There were black leather sofas, a coffee table, some canvases and a 60-inch television on the wall.

"Ok, so you take a bite of everything, choose the winner and then they get the reward." Raihana explained.

"Perfect." Jasmin said, taking the seat next to Alejandro who was sat in the middle of the sofa, his legs sprawled out in front of him with a completely cold, ‘I don’t give a fuck’ attitude. While Rayhan was sat on the other sofa on one side.

"Ok, no hinting or anything." Raihana said, excitement clear on her face. I felt guilty for the trouble I caused last night. She was talking to me normal, however at times I caught her staring at me.
