Page 75 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

Fucking hell, if these were ever released at once… I didn’t even want to think of that shit… I frowned at the very thought. Kiara leaned closer, her lips brushing my ear, sending a shiver of pleasure through me.

"Shall I heal them?" She whispered.

"No… We can’t risk your powers being sensed." I murmured back.

For all I knew, they already knew we were here. Although I was reigning in all my aura, there was still a chance… The biggest was the fact we were able to walk in so easily. We continued silently until I saw the faint glow of light from somewhere far ahead and stopped. The very faint murmur of voices made me strain my ear, I needed to get slightly closer. I inched closer until the sounds began to make sense. I knew Kiara wouldn’t be able to hear but I couldn't risk those talking, hearing us either.

"….long!" A voice that I recognised spoke. I frowned. What the hell was happening? How…

"Calm down. We had a deal!" A deeper voice growled. I could sense the power from him and I wondered if this was the Rogue King.

"A deal that cost me greatly! You promised me revenge! But all I got was the loss of my beloved!" The man sobbed.

"You will get the revenge you seek. Be patient." The deeper voice came.

"When? Who more can I lose?"

I clenched my jaw, anger filling me, and it took my all not to snap. I felt Kiara’s hand soothingly caress mine. I knew she sensed my anger, although she had no idea what was being said.

"There is a lot you can lose Alpha. This is all for the greater cause. Do you really think the Lycan will allow you to live and rule your pack? He doesn't care who dies. He doesn't care for any of us."

"I know… I want to make another deal with you."

A deep guttural growl echoed around us and I knew Kiara probably heard that.

"Making deals with me?! Know your place." He hissed. "You weren’t even able to do as I asked!"

"That’s not true, I have done it! Despite everything, I still did my part! The pack is completely destroyed! The news will reach the Lycan King very soon."

What pack? This didn’t make sense. What was their plan?

"Good! Do not address him as a king, he is just a mutation! A defect! I am the true king!" The man growled.

So, my fucking assumption was correct. This man was definitely the rogue fucking king. I was the one fucking king, not because I was a Lycan, but because I enacted a fucking law and established order. Since my reign, pack fights and deaths have been fewer… I've even offered rogues a pack to join…

"Y-yes of course… Please, I have a deal I want to put forth…." The Alpha pleaded.

My anger was only growing. How many fucking snitches did I have around me? What the fuck did the rogue-fucking-king offer that was better than what he already had? I had treated him well despite his fucked up family's past.

"What do you want?" The would-be king spat.

At least we had that in common, no fucking patience for fuckers.

"The blessed wolf… May I take her as my mate?"

My eyes flashed and I would have fucking gone and tore them to fucking shreds if Kiara’s arms didn’t wrap around my waist. I knew she was only acting on my emotions. How dare they even think that Kiara would be theirs?! She was mine, only fucking mine. If anyone thought that she’d be with someone else, then they were in for a fucking disappointment.

A raucous laugh echoed down the halls.

"You? A pathetic, useless Alpha. Why do you think you deserve her? Selene’s blessing will be mine! With her by my side, I’ll be recognised as the true king. If you want to even be recognised as an Alpha, then you better obey me!"

"But…"

A menacing growl rumbled off the walls, and the Alpha went silent. I frowned. How much power did he have that he could make an Alpha submit?

"Is she ready to do her part?" The king hissed.

"She is, she won’t fail us." The Alpha said, sounding broken and defeated. But I didn’t have one fucking ounce of remorse for the fucker. When I got my hands on him… I was going to destroy him completely and disband his fucking pack.
