Page 47 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

No, I wasn’t going to kill him, but I was going to send him on a mission that he surely would not survive. One way or the other, that fucker was not going to live.

81. The Dark Cell

Alejandro left and I knew he had heard our conversation… But how much of it? Did he hear the part where I asked Aunty Indy if he knew…

I expected him to be honest… It was high time I tried to do my part too… My stomach twisted, knowing deep down a time would come when I’d have to tell him about Rayhan... I looked down, sighing deeply.

"El…" Aunty whispered.

"I don’t know what to say Indy… I can’t believe I had to hear that from him and not you. I'm your brother; heck, that’s what I'm there for! You should have told me."

"I didn’t want you to get mad at him or make him leave." She whispered, breaking into tears.

Dad pulled her into his arms, I could see the pain and sadness on his face. He was always there for us…

"After what Jessica’s been through, and you girls as well, why would you settle for this Indy? The goddess did not create mates to hurt one another." He whispered, caressing her hair.

"I know, but the bond is strong, I always hoped he’d come around. I know he will!" She said, looking up at Dad.

Dad simply shook his head and held her tight, I suddenly felt emotional as I watched him comfort her. He was always watching out for us, always there… Yet we just hid stuff from him. Dad was a father and a brother who loved us unconditionally. I felt guilty for always complaining about how suffocated I felt… He only cared for us… But only lately did that seem to be clear and after Auntie’s revelation, I was sure stuff like this were his reasons.

"It’s been years since you’ve met… Things should not have been like this, Indy. No one deserves to stay in a situation like that. Be strong and perhaps the Goddess has other plans but Indy… This isn't right. I don’t care what you decide or what Alejandro decides, but I'm taking you home with me." Dads words were final.

"No please he’ll-"

"Get mad? I don’t really think he has that right anymore." Dad said coldly and I knew he was pissed.

"Elijah, please. It’s not that bad!"

‘Aunty had broken bones and countless bruises. The night I lost control was because he came home smelling of sex.’ I said to Dad through the link. Yes, it wasn’t my place to say, but I couldn't just keep it secret since the truth was out. More so, I knew Dad could help her like I couldn't.

Dad frowned deeply but didn’t reply.

"I'm going to go pack." I said before I took my leave…

An hour had passed and I was done with my packing. I had still managed to bake some more brownies. I don’t know why I did it. Well, I guess I could tell myself that they were just some treats for the journey? Although I knew exactly why I had made these… My heart skipped a beat at the thought of him as I packed a bag of snacks for the ride too.

Serena had told me we would be going by car for the most part. I had an ominous feeling about that forest, like a dark and unsettling weight, resting in the pit of my stomach every time I thought of it.

Things had been tense when Mom found out about Indigo, and while she was calmer than when she found out about me and Alejandro, she was still enraged and completely agreed with Dad's decision to take Aunty back with them.

She had been getting worked up and I had been worried, so I had mind linked Mom and Dad, telling them that Aunty was pregnant. I didn’t tell them about why she miscarried the last few times as I hoped Aunty told them that herself, but I did want them to know she was pregnant and didn’t need any extra stress so they had to deal with her patiently. I was glad she was going to go back to the Blood Moon pack. At least she’ll be safe there.

"Alejandro’s outside." Darien said, popping his head into the room with a huge grin on his face.

"You seem happy to have him gone." I said, amused.

"No, I'm happy that you two are going to work things out." He said with such confidence that I raised my brow.

"Aren't you very confident considering you were silent last night?" I said sceptically.

"I have to listen to and respect my Alpha, I have faith in him." He said, with a small smile. "Thank you, for giving him a chance."

"Yeah… well… let’s see." I said.
