Page 57 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"You’re tense." She said, giving my thigh a teasing fucking squeeze.

Fuck.

"Don’t play with fire Amore Mio, unless you're ready to put it out." I said huskily.

She fell silent, yet I didn’t miss the beat of her heart nor the way she bit her lip as she moved her hand back. I wish I didn’t speak, missing the feel of her touch. But I was not going to walk around with a fucking hard-on.

"Sorry…" She said with a pout.

She is a fucking gorgeous nymph.

"Nothing the fuck to apologise about." I said. Reaching over I ran my fingers through her silky locks, watching as her eyes fluttered shut at my touch. I wanted to kiss her, fuck her and do so much fucking more, but instead, I removed my hand and tried to focus on anything but her.

"Apart from the little brat, do you have any other friends?" I asked.

Did I just ask her about her friends?

"No, it's just been the four of us. Raven, Liam and Damon."

"The fucker." I growled.

"Be nice."

"It’s not in my fucking vocabulary." I said as I finally slowed down, scanning the country roads. Where exactly was this witch going to be? We were in the middle of some fucking deserted area…

"He’s nice, if you get to know him… I get why you can’t stand him but he isn't a bad guy." She said as I parked up.

The road had grown bumpier and it wasn’t the safest to go any further in a car, not without the chance of getting a bust tyre or stuck.

"We will continue on foot." I said.

She nodded, not even phased that she couldn't see. I got out and walked around to her, taking her hand once again and leading the way.

"I don’t see any lights. Are there even houses out here?" She asked.

"There are a few, but they all look abandoned." I said, my sharp hearing and nose picking up the smallest noises. I honed everything out, ignoring the rustle of the large grass and the trees. The sound of our hearts beating, the distant sound of forest animals rustling between the trees. Then the very faint sound of a heartbeat? It was close… I frowned, closing my eyes. Where was it coming from?

Before I could pinpoint it, suddenly the smell of tea tree oil, rich incense and black seeds invaded my nose. My hair stood on end and I felt the tingling chill wrap around me. The witch was here and she was strong.

I scanned the area but I couldn't see her.

"The Lycan King himself has sought me out. I wonder if it is an honour or an omen."

86. The Witch

KIARA

Her scent filled my nose and I turned, looking at the faint shimmering red glow that came from one spot. It was strange that I couldn't even hear her heartbeat.

"Show yourself." Alejandro said coldly.

I frowned and pointed at her.

"She’s there, right?"

"Oh? You can see me?" Her voice seemed to hold an age-old feeling to it.

"Yeah, I don’t see a fucking thing." Alejandro said, now stepping in front of me and shielding me from the direction that I had pointed to.
