Page 84 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"Thank you." I said before Alejandro could even speak. "We’d like that."

"At least one of you is sane." Marcel muttered.

"Yeah well, at least I’m not a fucking loser like you." Alejandro shot back.

Both brothers glared at each other and I sighed. It seems like it was in their blood to have such big egos.

Once we were shown to a room and given clothes, we were left alone.

The moment the door shut, Alejandro was in front of me, removing the necklace from around my neck. He crouched down, resting his head against my stomach. My heart thundered at his move. He must have been worried...

"We are fine." I whispered, I knew for a fact our bodies could take more than that, and I hadn’t felt any pain or cramping.

I ran my fingers through his hair as his lips fleetingly brushed my stomach. Even though the fabric of my top, I felt the pleasant tingle rush through me.

"I know." He said, clenching his jaw as he stood up, not able to look me directly in the eye.

I knew it was because he didn’t want to show his concern.

"You were worried about our pup?" I whispered.

"Not really…" He denied, still not looking me in the eye.

I raised an eyebrow, smiling slightly. I felt all warm and happy with his concern.

"Really? So, the moment we are alone, you rush to hear the heartbeat…simply because you wanted to and not because you cared?" I teased as he slipped the necklace back around my neck.

"Maybe a little. Don’t fucking annoy me, Sweetheart." He said, pulling me close.

I smirked.

"I kind of can if I want, and you wouldn’t be able to stop me." I taunted.

"Oh, I wouldn’t be so fucking sure." He said, with a small cold smirk.

Ok, I do not trust him at all…

"Well, let's get changed." I said, looking around the cavern room.

It was more of an actual room than just a dingy cave. Although it was barely furnished, I could see that it was well kept. There was a large double bed to one side, with three lanterns hanging around the room. It seemed they didn’t have much access to actual technology. There were two more lights on the far corner, ones that were created by magic.

There were two small drawers and a chair standing to the side. I picked up the clothes that were left on the bed for us and began stripping out of what I was wearing. I felt his gaze on me and my heart pounded, knowing I was tempting him… I wanted him… but… I turned towards him just in time to see he had turned away, his jaw clenched as he began getting dressed, tossing aside his torn pants. I pulled on the long-sleeved black shirt and denim pants that were rather loose on my waist, but they would do the job.

We had barely finished when there was a knock on the door. Alejandro growled as I walked over, about to open it when he got there first, moving me protectively behind him. I sighed. Did he really not trust Marcel?

At the door was a young wolf. He barely looked much older than fifteen. Despite how slim he was, I could see the muscles under his worn-out shirt.

"Dinner is ready." He said, looking down under Alejandro’s intense glare.

"Lead the fucking way." Alejandro said coldly.

I took his hand in mine, hoping he and Marcel didn’t start attacking each other.

"What’s your name?" I asked the boy.

"Mine?" He asked, sounding surprised as he let us through the dark halls. Only Alejandro’s lead was guiding me.

"Yeah, who the fuck else?" Alejandro added.
