Page 29 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"I’ll tell you the damn reason." Scarlett said, her eyes flashing silver as she stepped forward as all eyes turned to her.

"Red." Elijah said.

"No! Why should I stay quiet? I am so fucking pissed off!" She snapped, her canines elongated.

"Mom. Enough." Kiara’s sexy voice came.

Her mother looked at her and I knew they were mind linking. Scarlett pushed Elijah’s hands off of her and clenched her fists. Her nostrils flared in anger and I knew for a fucking fact that she was not done…

"I’ll tell you why." Jasmin suddenly said.

I growled dangerously, my aura rolling off me in waves. I knew she fucking knew it was because of Kiara, but I didn’t want Jasmin to call her out. I don’t even know what the fuck we were. She flinched at the power that filled the room and fell silent.

"Uncle found his mate. That’s why." Rayhan said with a shit-eating smirk that I wanted to smack right off his fucking face.

A gasp rippled through those who weren’t aware of this, and I felt my brothers' gaze burning into me.

"She isn't his mate!" Jasmin said, glaring at him.

Rafael looked at his son before frowning.

"Can you all just explain what the hell is going on?" He said.

"If you have found your mate, then why not mark her?" Kennan asked.

Allen let out a chuckle, his eyes suddenly widening as he looked at Kiara.

Damn, the fucker was smart…

"A befitting queen! Mark her and let the rightful queen take her place." He said, barely able to contain his excitement.

Well. Fuck. I wasn’t expecting him to say that.

"No." I said quietly.

I had no idea what I wanted, what the fuck the future held or if she could ever forgive me. I mean, did I want her to forgive me?

My heart thudded as all eyes turned towards me.

"No? Then I want to know why the hell you’re messing with my daughter. Make up your mind about what the hell you want. And Alpha Allen, next time you talk about my daughter as if she’s a prize to be claimed, I’ll be castrating something of yours and taking it home as my trophy!" Scarlett said icily.

"Red, stop it…" Elijah murmured.

But in this silent room, we all heard. Allen visible paled but his annoyance was also clear. However, he respected Elijah and was the calmest of the trio.

"Do YOU think Kiara should just accept him after all this?" Scarlett challenged, turning to Elijah.

"She can decide for herself." Elijah said firmly, his eyes flashing.

"Kiara… is his mate?" Maria said, I didn’t miss the annoyance in her tone. Well, it seemed like she had hoped for some other shit. Too bad.

"So, you have a child mate?" Bill said grumpily.

"She’s not a child." I growled.

"Then why didn’t you accept her?" Rafael asked softly.

The room went silent, and I wished he hadn't asked the correct fucking question. I looked away, not physically able to answer that question.
