Page 11 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

Rayhan shut the front door, running his fingers through his long hair.

"Her powers." He said, as we all followed Uncle who was silent, upstairs. Only Raihana shook her head and returned to the movie. I hurried ahead, opening the door to Kiara’s bedroom and switched the light on.

Uncle El put her down on the bed. His silence was scaring me a little. I looked at the boys who simply shrugged. Sometimes I wished I had my wolf already, at least then I could mind link.

"Is there anything I should know?" Uncle El said, now turning and looking directly at me.

My eyes widened in surprise as I stepped back, happy when Damon and Liam stepped aside, allowing me to move back and stand between them. Their body heat and their presence made me feel a bit better under Uncle El’s dangerous look.

"What do you mean?" I asked my Alpha, who now looked at me calmly yet his eyes were a dark cobalt, giving away that he was anything but calm right now.

"Kiara found her mate today."

"Wait what?" Liam said, his hand on my shoulder, sending a pleasant tingle through me.

"She was upset. Why the fuck do you think she lost control?" Uncle El growled.

"So, you think she was rejected?" Damon said, frowning.

"Why else would she be upset?!" He snapped as if we were a bunch of stupid kids. I guess that’s what we looked like…

Rayhan frowned as he stepped forward.

"That’s understandable, but why do you think Raven would know anything?" He asked.

I nodded, frowning.

"Because Raven knows her best."

"I don’t know anything…" I replied.

I wouldn’t rat Kiara out on anything and in all honesty, I had no idea about her mate.

"Ok, let me rephrase that." Uncle El said. "Alejandro."

My heart skipped a beat and I looked at him.

"What about the king?" I said, daring not to look at Rayhan.

I looked back at Uncle El, square in the eye, although I could feel his aura weighing down on me, urging me to submit to him and forcing me to look down. But even then, I wouldn’t rat Kia out. I fought against the urge to spill it out. I bit on the inside of my cheek, trying not to focus on the urge to tell him everything.

"Is there anything I should know?" Uncle El asked dangerously.

"He got angry a few times…" I said sighing, trying not to focus on that urge to tell the truth. "And attacked Rayhan…"

I looked at the grey-eyed man now as he raised his eyebrows before nodding.

"Nothing out of the ordinary though." He said, shrugging.

Uncle El frowned but said nothing more. I wanted to take a deep breath of relief but I knew he could throw something at me at any time. I'm so glad Raihana didn’t follow us upstairs or she may have given something away…

"Stay with Kia, Raven. I want all of you out." Uncle El said, now glaring at Rayhan and then at Damon.

Well, I don’t really blame him. To be fair, my girl was a catch and any man would want a piece of her. So really, Uncle El couldn't blame them. Damon simply nodded, looking at me and Kia with concern before he turned away and left the room. Liam walked over to the bed, giving his sister a soft kiss on the forehead before ruffling my hair and walking out. Rayhan flashed Uncle a smirk before he followed the other two out.

"When she wakes up, call me." Uncle El said to me.

I nodded and once he left, I rushed over and locked the door. No way in hell was I going to call his growly butt back in here! Not without Aunty Red around to help keep him on a leash.
