Page 13 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"I won’t, I swear." I said.

Standing up, I walked over to her and gave her a tight hug. She hugged me back and I felt a pang of pain. Her heart was racing and she was shaking.

"You’re strong, Kia. Show him that you are a badass Queen and take shit from no one."

She didn’t reply but I knew she would be able to do this. I was proud of my girl.

"Tomorrow is going to be a long day, let’s get some rest."

She nodded as our eyes met and I was glad to see the fiery determination in her pained eyes. Kiara never went down without a fight and I knew this time was not going to be an exception.

66. A Fathers Advice

KIARA

A knock on the door made me stir and I sat up, last night rushing back to me as I felt the sharp tugging pain clench around my heart. Raven wasn’t here, I frowned and looked around before I saw the note on the bedside table.

‘Gone shopping with the boys, I will find the perfect dress for you! See you soon, XOXO’

I put the paper down and shuffled up against the headboard to take a deep breath.

"Come in!" I called.

The door opened and Dad entered holding a plate of food and a bottle of fruity water.

"Did you sleep well?" He asked, closing the door behind himself.

I nodded, my heart thudding, not knowing what was coming. He placed the plate in my lap and kissed my forehead before he went and pulled the curtains open, letting the bright sunshine through the window. I flinched at the brightness, before becoming accustomed to it. Dad walked over to the bed and sat on the edge, facing me.

"Eat." He ordered.

I looked at the food, consisting of sausages, rashers, toast, beans, eggs and caramelised mushrooms. This was made by one of the Omegas, Dad was a lot of things but he wasn’t a chef. I picked up my fork as I began eating slowly, glad I had something to focus on. Dad was strangely quiet and it made me nervous.

"Who is he?" He asked after a moment.

So, he figured out I lost it because of my mate.

"It doesn't matter." I replied, poking my sausage repeatedly, I didn’t really have an appetite.

"He’s from this pack, isn't he?"

"Maybe." I said quietly.

"Did the fucking asshole reject you?" He asked, his voice shook and I realised he was angry, but not at me.

I looked up at him, now noticing just how much he was trying to stay calm.

"Not officially, but I got the picture." I replied with a shrug.

The image of them kissing flashed through my mind. My wolf whimpered and I wished she wasn’t so broken, I knew she’d get over it eventually... But this connection was something she wanted and needed.

I remembered his touch from last night, the way it had sent jolts of electricity through me, the way my entire body tingled and my heart had thrummed at his touch. My stomach twisted and I wrapped one arm around myself, my heart aching. Dad clenched his jaw.

"He’s a fucking shithead for that. He doesn't deserve you." He growled.

"Hm." I said.

Taking a bite of the toast, I forced myself to swallow, only for it to feel like it was getting stuck in my throat.
