Page 16 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

He frowned and shook his head.

"I doubt it. She hates our kind. I saved her once, hence the only reason she will talk to me." He replied, sighing.

"Kiara’s lineage, it’s through her mother isn't it? Considering her mother has her own special abilities."

"Yes, more so through the late Zidane Malone’s lineage."

"Didn’t his mother live somewhere up where his pack used to be?"

"She did, but didn’t she pass away a few years back?" Callum asked.

Fuck yeah...

"Alpha, I would do anything for you, you know that. If you want… I am ready to go back and see if I can get any answers to see if there's a link."

His voice was very low, although it was just the two of us in this cell, with the tied-up Wendigo.

I looked at him, remembering how I had found him and got him to work for me. He was more than he let on, not only an incredible doctor but a strong wolf… One who was born a rogue… something I had kept a secret. He had been born and abandoned and had lived alone disguised amongst humans, until he had lost control and had run away. He was struggling to not go completely feral and he had lived in isolation for years. His willpower had impressed me. When I had found him, I had asked him if he wanted to learn to regain control and to be part of my pack. I knew what it felt like to be treated like an outcast and I had seen his will to live and survive.

"I'm not sending you back to mix with rogues. That would mean kicking you from the pack, hence becoming a fucking rogue."

"But what if they are involved as you assumed?"

"Even though I know there’s a link, there have been increased attacks from rogues too, but Wendigos are made from wolves eating wolves... This thing in front of us, was once a fucking rogue…" I said with contempt.

"Well, if the need arises… you know I am ready to do what I can." Callum replied quietly.

I nodded, I knew that but I also needed him here. He was fucking smart and the best doctor I had.

"Please consider letting Miss Kiara look at this Wendigo." He urged.

I said nothing, turning around and leaving the cell. I didn’t want to face her, not when I wasn’t able to… The pain was still raw and it clawed at my chest painfully. There was one more thing I wanted to discuss with someone I didn’t want to see… But it was needed. He needed to teach Kiara control.

Well, I guess I better get this fucking shit over and done with. I made my way to my office, not wanting to return to my mansion. Yeah, I knew she was still there, I wasn’t sure if she’d leave with her father or with her brother, but I didn’t want to run into her. I wasn’t sure how I’d manage if she came before me…

Now here I was looking at the dickhead who really pissed me off. His irritating blue eyes were fucking glaring into me like he was trying to read my fucking mind.

"Something you want to fucking say?" I asked, as I crossed my legs on my desk and took a drag on my cigarette.

"No." He said. "Why did you call me?"

"You need to teach her how to control her powers. I'm presuming you do know that if she keeps on losing control, she will keep luring them. I don’t even know why the fuck they're attracted to her but whatever the reason is, you need to make sure she keeps a fucking cap on her emotions."

I said it, and with it, felt fucking guilty. I was the reason she got upset last night…

"Oh? So, you knew she was emotional last night? How can you just assume that?" He asked.

Fuck, my heartbeat quickened and I knew the dickhead heard. His face was as cocky and arrogant as ever, but beyond that, I saw the sharp, calculating look in his eyes.

"Darien told me she ran away upset; how else do you think I got there?" I countered smoothly.

"Her bastard of a mate rejected her. Goddess, if I knew who the fuck he is, I wouldn’t mind slicing his dick inch by inch and then feeding it to some dogs. The perfect punishment for a fucking loser right?" He said, now taking the seat opposite me.

Did the fucker know something?

I smirked coldly.
