Page 43 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

He looked angry and I knew he was hesitating to say what he wanted.

"Why did you want me here?" I asked Aunty instead.

Her eyes softened, clearly noticing my annoyance.

"Kia…"

"Don’t. I'm still upset." I said quietly.

She knew what I meant. She looked down, ashamed, and I shook my head, feeling a spasm of guilt.

"You know you’re pregnant?" Alejandro said to Aunty. Taking us both by surprise.

Aunty paled and I could feel her fear and worry.

"No…"

"Thought so. Stop training and take care of yourself and the pup. I was going to say let Kiara take a look… She’s a healer, if there’s a problem with you, maybe she could fix it. Since she’s here, it seems even more befitting." He said quietly. Like always, my name rolled off his tongue sensually, sending my heart racing.

Aunty Indy tensed at this, and I looked at her.

"That’s a good idea, I’d be happy to." I said smiling.

"No… It’s not necessary. I don’t want you to feel the pressure if something can’t be fixed." Aunty Indy mumbled.

Alejandro frowned and our eyes met.

"There’s no harm in getting it checked." I said, now looking back at Aunty.

"Good. I’ll leave you two to it. I need to check on something." He said, his eyes lingered on me and for a moment I felt he wanted to say something, but instead he turned and left the room.

"Well, shouldn’t you go get packing?" Aunty asked.

"I’ll do what Alejandro said first." I said.

"Mates huh?" She said with a small smile.

"Mates… but there’s a lot to work on before I can consider accepting him. He hurt me… and I’ve messed up too…" I said, now crouching down. She stepped back, her heart thudding. "Aunty this doesn't hurt."

"Kiara. Please, I'm fine. It's just-"

My brows furrowed; something was wrong here.

"Aunty, relax… Is there something else bothering you?"

"No, it’s just… I'm fine, really, this isn't necessary." She replied, looking like a cat caught in the headlights.

I ignored her placing my hand on her stomach. She jumped back.

"Kiara please!"

"What is wrong with me trying to help?! Don’t you want the child?" I asked confused.

"No… Of course I do." She said, her eyes looked pained.

“Then… why don’t you want me to check what's wrong?" I asked.

A sudden thought struck me and I looked at her seriously. My stomach sank at the very thought that now crossed my mind.
