Page 96 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"I will never know, but if there is a chance we can find her, just to get answers, it would be ideal… I know I didn’t want to go after her... but maybe it’s the only choice." Marcel said.

"Why do I feel like you don’t want this girl harmed?" Alejandro asked sharply.

I could sense Marcel was hiding something. He now looked at his hands, guilt rolling off him in waves.

"I once felt like magic was involved…. So, when I questioned Mom- Endora. She said that I was correct, but she didn’t tell me just in case I became worried. She told me she’d find the one behind it and make them pay. A week later, she brought that girl. This was just under a year ago. I was shocked that someone so young could be behind it, but I could sense the darkness from her, the vast level of her abilities. Even then… I saw innocence in those blue eyes. My instincts told me she wasn’t behind it, but my mind told me to let Endora carry on… She was beaten and goddess knows what else… Mom dealt and commanded who went near her..."

"You were being influenced." I said softly.

"That doesn't pardon my actions." He muttered

Alejandro put his already empty mug down and opening the coffee table drawer, took out a lighter and a packet of cigarettes, lighting one. I watched him, having to admit he made my core throb at how sexy he looked. He glanced at me as he took a drag of his cigarette and I looked away. My heart was pounding and I knew everyone here could hear it.

Goddess help me!"

"Here’s what we’ll do; we can send a team of trackers, do you have anything that belongs to her? Or know where she’s from?" Rafael asked.

"She isn't hard to miss, under 5 feet tall, very skinny and her hair, it was as white as snow. Blue eyes, she isn't going to blend in." He replied.

"I’ll call Rayhan, he’s one of the best trackers." Rafael said.

"You shouldn’t leave your pack without an Alpha."

"I’ll return then, we can’t waste time." Rafael said.

Alejandro nodded.

"I can send some of my wolves with your team who have seen her." Marcel said.

"That would be a lot of help. I’ll get Drake, Dustin and Valentin." Darien said.

"Has his mate had her pup?" I asked.

I wasn’t sure if she had, or if it had been mentioned and perhaps I had missed it. I felt a bit bad for being so neglectful and not even inquiring.

"Yes actually, so he’s ready for this mission. He has been meaning to speak to you, but things have been hectic."

"I understand, I wanted to as well. I'm just glad he is ok." I said, smiling slightly.

Darien grinned as he looked between me and Alejandro.

"I'm glad to see the two of you have worked things out." He remarked.

I blushed,

"I guess so." I replied, feeling all eyes on me.

"Right, on that fucking topic. I'm considering initiating her as soon as possible, mark her and make her my Queen and Luna. Call just the council advisors. Two nights from now, I'm marking her. Keep it small and advise the strongest Alphas to send their beta or delta in their stead if they so wish. With the current situation, I recommend they all stay put in their packs but I don’t want them bitching I didn’t invite them. I’ll tell Elijah myself…" Alejandro said.

My heart was pounding at his words, two days from now… Oh, Goddess…

"Is that fine by you, Amore Mio?" He asked.

Everyone looked at me, as Darien and Rafael exchanged looks, smirking knowingly.

"Sounds perfect." I said, realising that this was it… Alejandro and I would soon become one…

"Perfect. Then I guess tomorrow I need to take you shopping."
