Page 22 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

My heart skipped a beat and I glanced towards Rafael and Elijah.

"Shut your mouth kid."

"No one can hear us, the music’s loud. I'm not stupid Uncle... You know, I like her more than Jasmin… I mean, I wanted her and Rayhan… but you know her mate refused her, and you don’t have a mate. You should nab her up." She whispered.

I raised an eyebrow. She simply smiled before spinning out, I spun her back but it seemed she had other plans. Letting go of my hand, she twirled, grabbing Kiara by the elbow.

Kiara gasped, her mesmerising eyes widened as Raihana spun her around and then let go of her, sending Kiara toppling straight towards me.

She gasped, almost falling, and I knew it was because of her ankle. In a flash, I reached her, catching her around her slender waist before she fell. Her hand grabbed my shirt for support, her fingers grazing my chest.

Fuck.

Delicious sparks rushed through me, making me lose my fucking senses. My hand tightened around her waist as I pulled her upright, my fingers grazing her back. I heard her breath hitch, her intoxicating scent drowning me as our eyes met. Our hearts were thundering as one, and for a moment, everything else faded away...

70. Awaiting His Move

ALEJANDRO

I slowly pulled her upright into a standing position. Her body against mine, the explosive sparks that rushed through me were fucking perfect. I couldn't let her go… I wouldn’t… My resolve was breaking as I looked into this goddess’ eyes. She was even more beautiful every time I saw her… The urge to caress her smooth, shimmering skin grew and my gaze trailed over the plump lips that I just wanted to devour, her neck that was completely bare of any blemishes or mark... Perfection to be claimed and marked…

Her body moulded against mine, I would say as if it was made for me, but oh yeah, she fucking was so… My gaze lingered on her lips, the emotions and need for her growing within me. I looked into her eyes and it was then reality hit and I let go of her quickly. What the fuck was that? I needed to stay away from her.

"Excuse me." Jasmin said, her tone clipped, and I felt a flash of anger.

Kiara looked at her, and despite her racing heart, she simply smiled like a fucking queen and nodded.

"Carry on." She said, turning away.

Instantly three men moved to her, asking her to dance, only adding to the burning rage I felt. Sure, I had no fucking right to be possessive, but I couldn't control it. I glared coldly at Jasmin before walking off the dance floor and grabbing another drink.

I needed a fucking break. I walked towards the exit of the hall, downing the drink in my hand and taking another just as I walked out.

ELIJAH

"Baby, what is it?" Scarlett asked me, as I watched Kiara and Rayhan dance.

Regardless of what had happened between them, they were just friends. I could see that.

Scarlett ran her hand down my chest, leaving desire and sparks in her wake.

"Any more of that and we're going to have to find a room." I said, gripping her wrist and kissing her fingertips.

Her chest rose and fell at my words, her eyes flashing silver as my tongue licked her finger before sucking on it teasingly.

"Goddess, Elijah…" She murmured before leaning into me and kissing me.

I smirked, I loved the effect I had on her. I ran my hand over her back, scraping over the straps on the back of her dress before squeezing her perfect ass. This woman was perfection. I kissed her neck, inhaling, when I saw Kiara stumble on the dance floor. Rayhan looked surprised as his sister pushed him back and Alejandro caught Kiara.

I frowned as I watched them, my stomach twisting. I had thought maybe, just maybe. But now, as I watched the two of them… I didn’t have any doubts left, the reality of the situation hit me hard.

My Angel, was mated to the Lycan King… The sheer weight of that truth struck me like a tonne of bricks. I felt as if my head was suddenly pounding, the only thing keeping me calm was the woman in my arms.

Everything made sense. The fact she didn’t seem to be scared of him from day one. Clashing against him at every chance she got. His concern that he tried to hide, the way he had been quiet the other day. He knew. He sure as hell knew she was his mate, hence why he had avoided the blood moon ceremony… but Kiara must have seen him somewhere, possibly with Jasmin. It all made sense and I was pissed off. He had mentally hurt my girl and made her go through hell.

I clenched my teeth as I watched him let go of Kiara and take a step back, muttering something to Jasmin before storming off. He had a connection with Kiara sure, but I still didn’t get it. If he didn’t want her, then why the fuck didn’t he reject her?
