Page 136 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"There’s only one person who I know is faster…" Dad said, coming over as I got off Mom, he helped her up. I knew he meant Alejandro. Dad smiled proudly at me before kissing Mom, and I took her hand, letting my healing rush through her. I knew I had probably left a few bruises on her.

"That’s my girl." Alejandro said, motioning for me to come over.

I walked over, not missing how the sun glinted off his nipple piercings, making me lick my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he placed his hands on my ass as he kissed me. I heard Dad growl the moment Alejandro squeezed my ass.

"What the fuck is your problem?" He asked Dad when we broke away.

Liam dismissed the warriors, and I was glad. I did not want a showdown.

"That’s my daughter." Dad said, disapprovingly.

"Yeah, at least she ain't my sister." Alejandro shot back with a cold glare. I sighed, did he have to go there?

"Elijah." Mom said.

"Alejandro…" I whispered, caressing his arms.

"Just saying, I don’t appreciate anyone telling me what the fuck I should and shouldn’t do with my mate." He growled, glaring at Dad. "I’m not a fucking kid."

I knew things were tense with the upcoming events, not to mention Aunty Indy was really irritating Alejandro. His patience was wearing out. He also hated Damon around me, something which was hard to avoid considering he was the future Beta of this pack.

"It’s called having some damn control in front of her father." Dad growled.

"Dad, come on." Liam said, frowning.

Like me, he knew things were not going to go well if this continued.

"Just the way you have control, huh?" Alejandro remarked.

"Ok, can I not leave you two alone for even an hour?" Rafael’s voice came, and I breathed in relief. "Shall we get to some actual planning rather than you two just snapping at each other's throats?"

"Stay the fuck out of my business." Alejandro shot at him. Before turning his murderous gaze towards Dad. "She’s mine and what I do to her, is none of your fucking business. I mean, you should know what goes down between mates. Just picture that and ten times more." He added tauntingly.

I closed my eyes as Dad growled and Mom had to pull him back. I ran my hand down Alejandro’s chest, kissing his neck.

‘Calm down, my sexy beast... What’s wrong?’ I asked quietly.

I knew there was more to it than he was letting on. Everyone was on edge, snapping at each other’s necks, but we needed to remain rational.

‘Nothing.’ He sighed, wrapping his arms around me, and once again he placed his hand on my ass. He couldn't keep his hands off of me and already told me he loved my ass in yoga pants. I just hoped Dad wouldn’t speak this time. Sure enough, I saw Dad walk off ahead, heading back towards home, his anger rolling off him in waves.

Like always, we would shower and then get to planning. With each passing day, things were becoming tenser, and I was worried too. Many of Alejandro’s men would be coming here and some already were, working on setting up traps and making it harder to breach the pack. However, this pack was not built as securely as Alejandro’s, and there were too many trees around. Too many places to hide.

There was also the fact that all packs were exposed, and we were riding on Delsanra’s words. Everyone had been uncertain, apart from Rayhan and I, both of whom believed her. So the decision was made, Darien would remain at our pack, and Rayhan would head his dad's pack. Marcel had joined us here last night as well, and although Alejandro didn’t trust him completely, I did.

It was later in the morning, and we had all showered, eaten, and were now in the meeting room, with Beta Aaron, Dad, Rafael, Mom, Damon, Marcel, Liam and Alpha Allen. Although other Alphas would be helping, we were keeping the plan as secret as possible.

"I still think we’re missing something. Something fucking big." Alejandro growled, turning his back to the table as he lit a cigarette.

"Like what?" Liam asked.

"If I fucking knew, I would tell you." Alejandro replied coldly, taking a long drag of his cigarette.

"We need to organise the front line…" Dad said quietly.

"I need you at the front, Raf…" Alejandro said, now glancing at his brother. "Endora said you couldn’t be influenced... It must be something to do with having a hybrid for a mother… You may be the only one able to get to her… I also need you to get her necklace."
