Page 96 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 1

"Like you care." I spat resentfully, turning away only for him to grab my arm and swing me back towards him. I gasped as I stumbled, hitting his bare chest. My lips brushed his chest, and I felt his heart race. The move made my own stomach go all crazy. I looked up at him curiously as I tried to move back. He confused me… His actions and his physical reaction towards me conflicted with one another. I frowned, pushing the thoughts away, I didn’t want to hear anything from him.

"Let go of me." I said dangerously.

"Listen to me." He replied quietly. A frown on his face. "You need to stop using your ability so-"

"I said let go!" I screamed, my eyes flashing.

My wolf was getting upset with this stupid argument.

‘One, two, three!’ I raised my free hand and slapped him across the face. Hard.

His eyes widened in surprise and so did mine as I stared at him in shock. I just slapped the king. Oh, Goddess. His hold had slackened and I pulled free.

I turned to Carmen. She was stable, I could tell from her steady breathing… Thank you, Selene…

I didn’t look back at Alejandro, turning and hurrying away. My heart was pounding but I was more shocked that he didn’t snap my neck right there. I looked down at myself, everywhere he had touched me, he had covered me in blood.

I sighed, well I guess I’ll put on a doctor's coat once I get to the hospital.

-----

I had just about wiped myself clean, although my jeans still had a few marks, and had put on my coat when a nurse popped her head in.

"Miss, Doctor Callum wants you in his office. On the ground floor, take the lift. It is at the bottom left. Ask someone if you need to."

"Ok… Thank you." I said, sighing as I made my way out after tucking my phone into my pocket and putting my key card around my neck. I smiled slightly as I walked down the halls. There was a sense of calmness here.

I reached the office and after knocking, was told to enter. Instantly, the deep, seductive scent of Alejandro reached my nose.

My heart was going crazy. I had slapped him. Oh goddess, I'm surprised he didn’t kill me on the spot, but why had he followed me here?

I glanced at him to see he had a shirt on again and the smell of blood was gone. From his wet hair and the scent of body wash, it was clear he had just showered. He stood there looking drop-dead gorgeous, leaning against the wall, a cigarette in his hand and his phone in his other.

Now I feel annoyed. He got me all dirty and then cleaned himself up. Our eyes met and I quickly looked away. What was he doing smoking in here? It was a hospital!

"You called for me." I said, turning my attention to Callum.

"We did, close the door." Callum said. "It’s regarding your healing."

Worry filled me. Was he going to stop me from healing now?! Oh no! Was this how he was going to get revenge?

Alejandro didn’t bother saying anything, his eyes on the doctor’s face. "I understand you are really excited to help and of course I would love to have you use your abilities, but the king is right. You need to keep it hidden."

"Who cares?! I don’t need protection but those patients need to live! And I have the means to help." I protested angrily. How could they do this?!

"Kiara."

I froze at that voice; Alejandro turned his phone around to reveal Dad's frowning face. My stomach dropped. Fuck, he even had Dad on his side too!

"Dad. listen to me-"

"No Kiara. You listen. First of all, the fact you didn’t bother to tell us? Seriously, we had to hear it from Alejandro?" Dad said looking dangerous.

I stayed quiet, clenching my jaw. Trying to calm myself down before speaking

"Dad, you sent me here to allow me to help heal."

"And that needs to be taken down a few notches. Angel, you can’t display your powers openly. You’re the target and have been for years. You need to be careful, if not for yourself, then for me and your mother."
