Page 42 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"I can handle myself. You all seem to forget that I am not an ordinary wolf." I said, frowning.

"Powers you don’t really know how to deal with yet." Alejandro added.

That was not fair, I was doing pretty well!

"Hey, I have only let my emotions out of control twice and both of those were instigated." I said defiantly.

"Ok, how about we settle this with a vote?" Mom said.

Rafael looked between my parents, seemingly torn as to who he’d side with if it came down to a vote. Darien and Carmen simply stayed silent, watching.

"You’re ok for her to go?" Dad asked Mom.

Their eyes met and I knew they were mind linking. Dad frowned, hesitating. I looked at Alejandro. He had gone quiet, a deep frown on his face.

"Alejandro can decide." Dad said after a moment, looking displeased.

Well, seems like Mom at least got through to him somewhat. I turned towards Alejandro, who was frowning deeply.

"Fine." He said coldly.

I smiled in relief, despite the crazy storm within me. Not only was I able to contribute… I was also going to be spending time alone with Alejandro… Maybe we could use it to work on stuff… I wasn’t sure…

"We leave in an hour. Pack." Alejandro said. Now looking directly at me and sending my heart racing once again. I nodded before he finished off a few smaller things.

The meeting was signalled as over and we were all about to leave when Alejandro spoke.

"Indigo. A word."

I stopped along with Mom, Dad, Aunty and Fred.

"Everything ok, Alpha?" Fred asked, his eyes narrowing.

"I’m talking to Indigo, not you." Alejandro said coldly. His dark aura swirled around him.

"She’s my mate and I have a right to know why." Fred said, as he looked away under his Alpha’s aura.

"Frederick, I'm sure things are going to be fine." Mom said concerned.

"Indigo." Fred said, looking at his mate.

I sensed the silent warning in his gaze and frowned.

"Alpha Alejandro is her Alpha. Let’s leave." I said suddenly.

Fred looked at me and I didn’t miss the irritation rolling off him, making Aunty pale.

"Kiara, please." She said.

"Get out." Alejandro said, his eyes now flashing red and no one was able to disobey. Mom and Dad frowned as they walked out and Fred followed. I glanced at Aunty and Alejandro, wondering what that was about. I had seen Alejandro show concern before for Aunty… I still wanted to know what that was about…

"Kiara, stay with me." Aunty Indy said suddenly as I stopped at the door.

I turned surprised, not missing the murderous look on Alejandro’s face. His eyes now flashed as he glared at Aunty.

"Don’t think her presence will stop me." He growled.

I looked back at Mom, who was down the hall. She simply nodded, so I closed the door and turned back to Aunty and Alejandro.
