Page 95 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"Wait, you two made up already?" He asked.

The bright lights that illuminated the front entrance made his eyes sparkle even more, looking like a child whose Christmas had just come early.

"What’s that fucking supposed to mean?" Alejandro growled as we all began walking towards the entrance.

"It’s just… Wow, I'm happy." Rafael grinned, like a proud father. "It means you tried Alejandro."

"He did…" I said, with a smile.

"Can we not fucking discuss this. Butt out of my business." Alejandro growled at his brother.

I reached up, pulling him down slightly as I tiptoed, placing a soft kiss on his jaw. Our eyes met and I saw him swallow before he claimed my lips in a rough, passionate kiss.

"Goddess! I was not expecting you to have gotten there already! I will need to tell Eli-"

"No!" I said, blushing at how quickly I spoke. "Umm, I’ll tell Mom and Dad…."

Rafael chuckled.

"Very well." He said.

We all entered the smaller living room and sat down on the black leather sofas. The mood darkened considerably as Rafael looked at the other two men.

"So… Care to fill me in on Mom." He said quietly.

Alejandro sighed, leaning back against the sofa, putting his arm around me and pulling me against him. I snuggled into him as he began filling Rafael in on everything that had happened. Marcel and I gave our input along the way, before the room fell into a deep silence.

"I'm sorry you had to go through the guilt… When she just played us all." Rafael said, frowning as he looked at Alejandro.

"I told you… I don’t care…" He said, his tone dark.

I knew he did. It was the very reason he didn’t want to get close to me.

There was a knock on the door before it opened, and Claire came in with some refreshments. Once she left, Alejandro looked at the three of us.

"I’ve called Darien to join us. We need to make a plan. Endora will surely make her move and probably fucking soon…" He said.

Marcel nodded.

"She has other aces up her sleeve. I don’t think she can make more Wendigos and Manangals, or I hope not, but she will have a plan. She will attack this pack. That was the original plan. She said she’d wait for the stars to align when the magic she holds is the strongest, but we were never told a date."

"That’s going to be a fucking issue… I don’t think we can even find Janaina and from what I know if witches are not given their last debt they won't give us any more information. We didn’t manage to get that fucking necklace… Any idea?" Alejandro asked him.

"My best guess, within this month… She was using the witch she had held captive to provide her with answers she couldn't get herself."

"Delsanra right?" I asked.

Marcel nodded, just as the door opened and Darien stepped inside, looking between Marcel and Rafael. It seemed Alejandro must have filled him in as he didn’t look too surprised.

"I'm Darien, the Beta of this pack." He said, holding his hand out to Marcel, who shook it. He then sat down and Alejandro picked up a mug.

"So, you were saying?" He said, passing it to me and taking another.

I welcomed the warmth of the mug as I cupped it, nestling my head against Alejandro’s chest.

"I don’t know much about this girl, I was never allowed near her." He said, shrugging.

"I wonder if that was just in case she lifted the influence Endora had on you… I mean, that’s if she didn’t side with Endora willingly that is." I said thoughtfully.
