Page 86 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"I just… I have news..." He said quietly.

"So, you have a kid…?" Alejandro said, with his head tilted.

The boy looked back at him defiantly, before looking down.

"What is it?" Marcel snapped.

"She’s gone… I don’t know if it was grandma… or…" Leo said.

I saw Marcel’s eyes widen, a frown on his face.

"Fuck…" He growled.

I exchanged looks with Alejandro, who looked as confused as I felt.

"Who escaped?" He asked Marcel.

"It’s not important… Let’s just say she’s trouble. Maybe it is for the best… Leave it… For all we know, she may just have been another of Endora’s victims." He said frowning.

Leo nodded as he walked out again.

"You have a ten-year-old carrying orders?" Alejandro asked, raising an eyebrow.

"He’s nine actually, and yes… He needs to pull his weight." Marcel said. For once, Alejandro didn’t say much, simply nodding and shrugging.

Then again, maybe I was wrong.

"He should be in school." He said moodily. Marcel sat back.

"Care to share how we could have attained that when we are killed on sight?" He asked coldly.

"Made to fucking think that." Alejandro growled. "I’ve never fucking put that rule down."

"Fine! I get it." Marcel snapped back.

I ignored them. It seemed they were planning to be at each other’s throats often enough, so I will leave them to it… Oo this soup was really good… I was feeling much more energised.

"Tomorrow we clear out this place. Her magic lingers and it isn’t safe. You all can set up camp close to my pack grounds. If Endora plans to make a move, I have a feeling it will be a big attack. We need to be ready." Alejandro said, now placing his arm around my shoulders and kissing my forehead before he finished his soup by drinking it down in one go.

"Understood." Marcel said.

"Oh… and I’m sure Rafael would love to meet you." Alejandro said mockingly.

"Rafael…" He replied, frowning.

"Your twin." I said.

He nodded.

"I doubt he’d want to meet me, and I don’t really care for family reunions." Marcel said curtly.

But I knew he was just unsure.

"Oh yeah? Well, Rafael will probably fucking love it." Alejandro said.

"If he’s anything like you-"

"He isn’t… Rafael is really sweet and kind." I interrupted with a smile.
