Page 110 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"Not at all. As he is the king, we need to have a formal marking in front of other Alphas." I replied, taking an apple slice.

"You will make a good queen." She said with a small smile, before wrapping her arms around her once again, nibbling on some apple.

I glanced at the four guards who were set to watch me. There was Dustin, Julio, Bryan and another one I had never seen before called Samuel. I found them a bit much, but I understood Alejandro couldn’t take risks.

"You remind me of her… Even when I was left in my cell when I was becoming that monster, she told me to stay strong… I don’t care if they say she’s a witch…to me… she was the only one who tried to help me from her cell, even though she was beaten and bloody…" She said, looking sad.

I knew they were sending Rayhan after her… I just hoped they treated her well…

"I believe you. Don’t worry. I’m sure wherever she is, she’s safe." I said with a small smile.

“I hope so too…" She said, her gaze becoming fearful and dull once more.

I wondered what exactly was going through her head. She talked for a while and then she would shut us all out. I knew it was going to take time, so I didn’t push her.

After staying for a short while, I decided I’d call Rayhan. I knew it wasn’t my place but I didn’t want them to treat her like a monster or just a witch… Jo genuinely cared for her.

I knew the four men might report back to their boss, my mate… I looked at them as they trooped out after me.

"I need to make a call and I don’t need anyone to eavesdrop." I stated.

"We won’t repeat the conversation Luna, nor report it back to the Alpha, if that’s what you fear." Julio said with an annoying smirk.

"I have nothing to hide." I glared back.

"Well fear not, Alpha gave no command to spy on you. Just to make sure you are safe, please make your phone call." Samuel said.

Hmm, I liked him a little bit at least... Stupid Julio… I gave him a dirty look as I took my phone out and dialled Rayhan, hoping he’d pick up.

"Hey, Kia." He answered after a few rings.

"Hey, listen, I’m assuming you’re out tracking?"

"Yep, the snow witch." He said.

"Any luck?" I asked.

"Not yet, but the smell of magnolia’s and Ylang Ylang is giving me a headache." He replied jokingly.

I smiled.

"Well, for someone who’s supposed to be a dark witch, she sure doesn’t smell like one."

"No… not really." He said sighing, "It’s been hard to find her. I was told her powers are restricted, so she can’t really use magic currently, but she’s still evading us."

"Well, I called about something regarding Delsanra…"

"Delsanra?"

"Her name, the witch." I said, frowning slightly.

"Ah ok, Dad and Uncle just said the witch."

I frowned, "She is a person, not just a witch, one who helped other captives stay strong and morally supported them. I don’t believe she is bad. So, when you find her, treat her as you would someone who is innocent."

"Kia… She’s a witch."

"A witch who has done nothing wrong. Innocent until proven guilty." I replied firmly.
