Page 164 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"Any time." I said, as she leaned over and caressed my stomach.

"I’m glad I got to see my nephew too. He’s going to be a big boy like his Daddy." She said, smiling proudly.

I smiled as I added a little more highlighter to her cheekbones. Finishing off with some makeup setting spray, I gave a small nod. She was ready.

RAVEN

I walked hand in hand with Kiara. My nerves were kicking in big time. The party was being held out in the open, lit up brightly with dazzling lights. The weather was gorgeous, not cold yet not hot either.

My eyes were looking for two familiar faces. Would one of them be my mate? I couldn’t see them in the sea of young men and women all dressed up for this night.

I moved my body to the music despite how nervous I was feeling, when Kiara tapped me.

"Want to get a drink?" She asked.

I nodded,

"I think I need it." I said, and we both walked towards the drink bar.

When we stopped, both of us were distracted by the chocolate fountain that was set up not far from the drinks. A lavish array of dipping’s spread out in front of it.

"Chocolate." We both said in unison.

I laughed as we hurried over to the fountain instead, forgetting about the drinks. We both helped ourselves to a stick and began selecting some items. I added marshmallows, strawberries and brownie pieces to my stick.

"I have gained weight." Kiara said, a gentle smile on her face as she dipped her stick under the chocolate before placing it on her plate and taking a bite.

She hadn’t, well, not much apart from on her stomach. I knew she was trying to eat for the baby, but I also knew she was reminded and forced to eat most of the time. I rarely saw her smile, and when she did, it held so much sadness that I wished I could take it all from her. I would give up anything for her to be happy.

I put my plate down and cupped her face, brushing away her tears that escaped.

"You don’t want to ruin your make-up." I said softly.

Although she had only worn a touch of mascara and gloss. She nodded and I smiled.

"Besides, I need pictures! Lots and lots." I said, turning back to my stick and dipping it under the chocolate.

"Ok." Kiara said as I licked my lips.

Oh, now this looks so good... Food porn at its finest… I admired my plate before taking a huge bite, taking the marshmallow and a strawberry into my mouth at once. Oops… way too much. I could barely chew and Kiara giggled slightly.

"You look a sight."

I simply nodded my agreement. Imagine my mate seeing me looking like this, chocolate dripping from my lips, I needed a tissue. I put my plate down, about to pick some up when the most delicious mix of scents hit me and I froze. My chest pounded as I inhaled deeply.

Roasted walnuts, fresh rain, spiced cinnamon and honey… Scents that drowned me… Scents that were faintly familiar…

"Oh hey, boys." Kiara said with a smile.

I turned slowly, my mouth still full of chocolate, as I stared at the duo before me. My heart was thumping wildly,

Liam looked mesmerising in a grey suit, and Damon looked as handsome in black. Both oozed sexiness and if I thought they were handsome before, Goddess, they were complete sex invites now!

Both of their eyes were glowing, fixed on me with a possessive look that made my core knot and my wolf howl in happiness.

"Mate." They both said in unison.
