Page 123 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

A frown crossed his handsome face as he glanced at Dad. I think he wasn’t expecting that from Dad… but it was he who had made that first move. I was so proud of him. His eyes now met mine and he held his hand out, allowing Dad to place my hand in his.

Sparks shot through us, as our hands touched. Sending my heart racing, he was perfect, perfect for me. Our eyes met and I smiled. Life felt perfect.

Other people began moving forward, greeting and congratulating us. Someone passed us glasses of champagne and I had to admit the evening was off to an amazing start. We even video-called Damon and Liam. I took plenty of pictures and selfies, I even managed to force Alejandro to take a few pictures with me, although he was looking at me in every single one.

"Alpha Alejandro… Shall we?" Allen said, coming over to us.

Alejandro looked at me, and I nodded.

"Let’s get this done…" He said, placing his hand around my waist and leading me to the tree that stood in the centre, dazzling with hundreds of lights.

Allen cleared his throat and I remembered the words he had used last time, I frowned ever so slightly as he began.

"As requested, I will keep this short. Welcome everyone. Today our king will mark his true mate." He chuckled, and I felt relieved. I didn’t want memories of that night to come back… or for this to go just like that day. Although the memory was no longer as painful, I still didn't want to think of it.

Alejandro kissed my lips softly, as he held me against himself. I expected Alpha Allen to continue, but it was Alejandro who now turned to me.

"Do you, Kiara Westwood, daughter of the Blood Moon Pack Alpha’s, agree to rule by my side as my Queen, my Luna and my true mate? To take the Night Walkers Pack as your home and your family?" He asked.

My heart thundered in my chest as I looked at him and he took both my hands in his, his thumbs caressing my knuckles as he searched my eyes, waiting for my answer.

"I do, I will do my best to do justice to my title and my responsibility as your Queen and Luna, and to accept The Night Walkers Pack as my own." I said softly, "And above all… I accept you, Alejandro Rossi, King of Werewolves as my one and only mate. The love of my life, the beat of my heart and the light of my day."

A small half-smile lingered on his lips as several people cheered and hooted, and I knew Raven was one of them.

"Then let’s get this shit over with." He said softly, a sexy predatorial smirk crossing his lips as he yanked me against him, making me gasp. "I’ve been wanting to do this for far too fucking long…"

"No one’s stopping you…" I replied seductively, gripping his upper arms as I tilted my head to the side, giving him full access to my neck. My stomach knotted as he licked his lips. His teeth elongated, his eyes glowed red, as he snaked one arm around my waist. The other now going to the back of my head, loosely gripping my hair as he bent down.

My heart was pounding with excitement, anticipation and need. His scent wrapped around me and I gasped when his canines pierced my skin. A strong, sizzling current rushed through me, spreading through my entire body like thousands of electrical sparks. Each one erupted when it reached the pit of my stomach. I clenched my thighs together, feeling the pleasure of it drowning me. A sigh of pure ecstasy escaped me, but I didn’t care, nor could I stop it…

My eyelids fluttered shut as his lips touched my neck, kissing me softly before he extracted his teeth. Licking up the blood, as he breathed heavily against my neck. I clung to him weakly. If he was not holding me, I would have collapsed. There was silence around us, only the soft music played and the beat of a hundred hearts.

"My turn…" I whispered, feeling light-headed, I could feel the bond strengthening already.

"Can’t wait..." He murmured as my shaking fingers undid his tie and buttons.

Goddess, did he choose so many things for me to deal with on purpose? But I had to admit, he looked so good that I had wanted to jump him the moment I saw him. He was mine, all mine.

Finally, I had his buttons open. My fingers played with the necklaces he always wore. I don’t think my mark was going to show up on his neck with all those tattoos. I smiled softly, but it didn’t matter.

He tugged my head upwards, looking into my eyes. I saw the flash of guilt in his eyes, before he kissed me deeply. I kissed him back, hoping he could feel my emotions, feel that I was ok with it… I pulled away, before I held his shirt back, kissing him softly before I bit into his neck, my canines piercing his skin. I moaned softly as I felt him throb against my stomach. The completion of the bond caused a storm of emotions to rush through me. Emotions that were not all mine. A very quiet groan escaped him and he held me tightly. I moved back, licking the wound before I kissed it, pouring my healing into it.

I looked at his neck, smiling proudly as I saw the mark; a white-grey wolf, set with purple eyes. I was wrong… It stood out… perfectly…

‘How does it look?’ He asked in my head, and I smiled.

‘Perfect.’ I replied.

I could feel his emotions and I knew he could feel mine; the happiness, the need, the love, the desire…

He forced his gaze away and reached for the knife that stood on the small table behind him. He took my hand, I smiled gently as he frowned deeply before making a small cut on my palm. He sliced his own a lot deeper before we joined our hands. I felt the strong current of the pack link snapping completely into place, and the link opened to a hundred more. At the same time, I felt my old one break. It was a special and sad moment all at once. But one, that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Not now, not ever…

Everyone clapped and cheered before Alejandro stepped back. His arm wrapped around me as he turned to the crowd, pulling me against his chest, my back to him.

"I present to you, your Queen and Luna, Kiara!" He said before kissing my neck, sending strong sparks coursing through me.

I looked up at the night sky, smiling up at the bright glowing moon, nestled in the middle of the blanket of darkness. I smiled softly, it felt like Selene herself was gazing down upon us...
