Page 41 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"That’s not the issue, Red. Alejandro was just sharing his plan." Elijah said, looking suspicious.

"Great, do share." Kiara now said.

I looked at her, the green of her top only made her eyes look greener.

"It’s kind of confidential. You don’t need to be here." I said as calmly as I could.

Did I have to be fucking nice? I mean, I don’t do nice… What the fuck, was I actually considering being nice? This shit was messed up…

"It’s to do with me, so carry on." She said challengingly.

Our eyes met and I swallowed, don’t look down…I could see her breasts peeking out from that fucking tease of a top and I knew every single pair of fucking eyes were on me. Was this the shit she expected from me? I'm not the type to fucking back down…

She pouted slightly, before biting her lip and then she fucking pulled the ultimate ace to win this shit.

It was subtle, but it fucking did the job… She pressed her breasts together ever so slightly with her arms and batted those damn lashes at me. Sending a wave of pleasure down fucking south.

Fuck.

"Fine. Stay." I growled.

79. Her Truth

KIARA

I almost burst out laughing at the way he struggled. I pressed my lips together to stifle the giggle but I still had a huge smile on my face. He was actually trying? That was cute... Let’s see how long it lasts.

He began speaking again and I ignored all the looks we were getting. More so, Alejandro was receiving. After all, the man listened to no one. I felt a fuzzy warmth inside me. He was trying, and in return, I wasn’t going to press his buttons just to see how far he would go. We both had a long way to go and just acting on our emotions was not going to be enough.

"I want to go with you." I said suddenly. All eyes snapped towards me and I saw both Dad and Alejandro frown.

"Kia, it’s really dangerous." Aunty Indy said, concerned.

"Doesn't matter. I'm strong and Alejandro will be with me." I said, my heart hammering at the thought of going anywhere alone with him… Shit, maybe this was a bad idea.

"I don’t know if that’s even smart…" Dad said frowning.

"You’re not going. It’s dangerous." Alejandro said firmly.

"I can handle myself. I'm in danger no matter where I am… and I’d rather be away from a pack if I have a target on my back." I said quietly.

"She has a point." Mom said, crossing her arms.

"We can protect you here." Aunty Indy said, concerned.

Fred simply frowned, remaining silent.

I had half a mind to say she couldn't even protect herself but I wasn’t going to call her out like that. I looked at her, noticing she looked paler than normal. Was she ok? I focused on her, letting my aura spread towards her, feeling and sensing her emotions.

Pain. She was in pain? Was it physical or emotional?

"It isn't safe, Angel." Dad said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"That’s an insult to the Lycan King himself, is it not Dad?" I replied, trying to focus on the present.

Attempting to keep my heart steady just saying that, made me realise exactly how powerful and important Alejandro was.

"Kiara… It’s going to be only the two of you. If you are attacked-"
