I took a deep breath as I entered the same venue as last night. This time I felt a thousand times different. There was no excitement, but a deep pain in my chest. My mate was going to mark someone else tonight. That had been another slap in the face, but on the way here, Mom had mentioned how the council seemed to want the marking done today too. Dad and I both hadn't told her about my mate.
First of all, I didn’t get the chance as she and Dad had practically jumped each other the moment Mom walked on to pack grounds, and then Raihana had helped me get ready.
Sadly, Raven had gone back home per her dad's orders. Although she had wanted to stay, her dad had heard of the attack and was going crazy, so she had to listen. Her dad reminded her that she was still seventeen and under his command. I couldn't blame him, and I kind of agreed, being around me she’d just be in more danger.
I could see many had their eyes on me, and as much as I’d love

Her Cold-Hearted Alpha 69. The Engagement
ALEJANDRO I looked between Jasmin and Kiara, my eyes staying on the nymph before me. Fuck, did she look breath-taking. Seeing her here had fucking knocked me off, I did not think she was strong enough to face me… but she sure was. I knew she was in pain. Even her composed mask couldn’t hide the anguish in those gorgeous eyes of hers. From the moment I had walked into this fucking shit-show, I could only smell and see her. She had made a statement, standing out in that black dress that was messing with my fucking self-control. I knew she did this on purpose and it was fucking working. What made it worse was the eyes that followed her around. Word had got out that Elijah Westwood’s daughter was a special wolf and I fucking hated it. The unmated Alphas watched her like fucking power-hungry leeches, and even the fuckers who weren’t into fucking power were checking her out as if she was a fucking item. To top it off, Rayhan was being a fucker again. He sur

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

ALEJANDRO I downed the liquid, relishing the way it burned my throat before I tossed the glass onto the ground, watching it shatter into a thousand pieces before gripping the balcony rail as I glared out into the darkness. Why couldn't I fucking control myself? I was fucking losing my shit and she stood there unbothered. Fuck, I was relying on her running away from me. Not coming to my fucking engagement looking like a fucking goddess. The way she stood there... poised, in control and that goddess damned aura of hers. The urge to mark and mate with her right now was taking over. I needed her gone… How do I get her to leave? "Alejandro." Rafael's voice came. Well fuck, can no one leave me the fuck alone? Clearly not. He came over and rested on the rail next to me. I clenched my jaw, glaring out ahead. "You ok? You seem… restless." He said, his fucking concern clear in his voice. I scoffed. "I'm not a fucking kid Raf, and more than that,

KIARA I closed my eyes as Alejandro made his way onto the stage. The way he walked, the confidence and swagger, and his 'I don’t give a shit' attitude made my stomach flutter crazily. Oh Goddess… this was it… I had to stay strong. It seemed I didn’t have as much effect on him as he had on me. Stay strong, Kia… I tried to push away the suffocating pain that was growing in my chest. The elder wolf – Allen - began speaking. I cast my gaze down, unable to look at the couple on stage. Count slowly, breathe steadily, conceal your emotions and stay confident. This will not break me. He had already hurt me, I don’t think there was anything that could make this worse. He was going to mark her, and although deep down a part of me hoped he’d back out, I knew things weren’t that easy. He had broken me, I had felt it and all I could think of was his comment ‘ignore her’ before he kissed Jasmin. ‘Want me to kill him?’ Dad’s voice said through the link. My h
Last Updated : 2021-10-12Her Cold-Hearted Alpha 73. Please Don't
ALEJANDRO An hour had passed since everyone had been healed or taken care of. As much as I fucking hated it, Kiara healed everyone without a care who saw her ability and who didn’t. I knew Elijah wasn’t pleased, but it seemed like me, he probably didn’t feel like there was anything we could have fucking done to stop her. Something about Kiara’s aura, her strength, and the way she oozed authority seemed to carry itself knowingly. As I said, she’s a fucking queen. Alpha Jake was sent home after being given the option to hold a funeral for his mate here, but he refused. I sent men with the families of those who had lost someone and the injured that were now mostly healed were given the option to stay and rest or leave. The Alphas who were unharmed all decided to take their leave. With these attacks, they didn’t feel comfortable leaving their packs unwatched. Although we all knew the target was Kiara. This new warning may have hinted at attacks on packs,

KIARA I hated this. The constant assumptions, decisions and looks I was getting from everyone. I don’t know what I wanted... Did I want him? Yes, deep down I did, but he had also hurt me beyond anything I could ever imagine. The pain threatened to suffocate me as I took a deep breath. "I Kiara Westwood of The Desert Storm Pack, rej-" He was in front of me in the blink of an eye, his hand covering my mouth. Sparks rushed through my very veins at his touch. A storm of emotions in those dark orbs of his. His heart raced as fast as my own was. My stomach knotted as I stared into his eyes as he shook his head slowly. His unspoken message was loud and clear. Don’t do this. That’s what he was saying. Then why couldn't he tell me why he didn’t want me? Rafael’s question was the one I wanted an answer to. A whistle broke me out of my thoughts as Rayhan chuckled. "That should answer enough questions… Sorry Jasmin, you’re not really wanted." He s

KIARA Three hours had passed, and I still wasn’t able to sleep. Every time I shut my eyes, I was either seeing Alejandro telling Jasmin to ignore me or him saying he couldn't mark her. I pushed the covers off, now agitated. I had blocked the mind link off because I didn’t want to talk to anyone, and I was glad Mom hadn't tried to bother me. We both needed to calm down. I had even texted Raven, filling her in on everything two hours ago, but she must be asleep now… The forty-minute shower I had when I came up wasn’t enough to relax me… What should I do? A sudden thought came to me and I smiled. I knew what I should do… and it was already late, no one would be awake. Kicking off the covers, I jumped out of my bed, wincing at the pain in my ankle. I paused, remembering how it hadn't hurt when I had lunged at the Wendigo... Did my ability have something to do with that? I would need to trial it out another time. I didn’t want to attract Wendigos. I pulled

KIARA "Selene can make mistakes…" Alejandro said quietly. "Maybe, but I'm strong. You know that." I turned away to check my brownies. Deep down, I knew he just needed some love… but I also needed him to take that first step. "You fucking are…" The smell of brownies filled the air. "Kiara." I looked at him, as he struggled to say what he wanted to. "What is it?" I asked. "I was-" The beep of the oven made us both turn. He looked away, picking up his glass, I wanted to know what he had wanted to say. Damn… I walked over to the oven, grabbing the gloves and took my brownies out. Taking a knife, I took the tray to where he was sitting and cut them into pieces. I wasn’t even done, and he reached for a piece. I tapped his hand with the knife, my eyes flashing. "I didn’t say you could have any." "Too bad, I don’t fucking care." He said, taking a square, giving me a challenging loo

THREE DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS… ALEJANDRO I looked at the little boy who I was meant to be looking after for the entire fucking day. With Kiara pregnant again, I knew she needed some time away, so she, Serena, Kevin and some other she-wolf had gone out for the afternoon and evening. At first, I thought this shit was going to be easy… But now, three hours in, I was regretting offering. How the fuck was I supposed to focus on paperwork when this fucker just demanded attention twenty-four fucking seven? The snow had gone, but the weather was still foggy and cold. I glanced up at the sky through the open French doors of my office, the dark cloudy sky only promising more gloomy weather. Dante was outside playing tag with Darien. "Al!" Darien called. "What?" "Dante’s got a request." "I want Mgonalds!" Dante chipped in. "Please, Daddy." How the fuck do you say no when he says please? "Didn’t you just have food? Dar

Her Cold-Hearted Alpha 130. Epilogue
TWO YEARS AND EIGHT MONTHS LATER… KIARA "Can someone put the tinsel on the stair rail?!" Raihana shouted. I looked over at her, the eighteen-year-old was not impressed with getting the décor done. Maria had decided we would go away for Christmas, and since it was the holidays, Rafael had decided against bringing any of the Omegas to work. It was a time to spend with family, he had put it, and I agreed. So here we were, doing it all ourselves. Not that I minded, I loved all of it. As werewolves, our main goddess was Selene, but outside of that, we still liked to participate in certain celebrations of other gods and religions. Christmas was not one to miss. After all, who wouldn’t mind some festive feelings. "I will, Raihana, relax." I told the younger woman as I reached up to the ceiling from my ladder to finish setting the fairy lights. She had come of age and the next mating ball, there was a chance she may find her mate. Or a

ALEJANDRO Kiara had left, and although my mind was on her, I tried to focus on the game. I was winning… I think so anyway. "And I win." Marcel said, showing his hand. Raf groaned tossing his cards down, and I smirked, showing my hand. "You mean I win." I said, arrogantly. "Fine. You’re damn good." Marcel replied grudgingly. "You both are, you should really have some sympathy on your elder brother." Raf complained, picking up his glass. I have no fucking idea why he was so weird. "You’re a fucking weirdo." I remarked. "You still love me." He grinned. "Shouldn’t you be minding Dante?" I asked, ignoring his comment and lighting a cigarette. Avoiding smoking around Dante was probably the next hardest thing to do, after not getting enough time with Kiara. Although I was sure the fucker could heal, I mean, Kiara could heal him every other month... The smoke wouldn’t affect him... But damn, I was taking
Her Cold-Hearted Alpha 128. Together As A Family
KIARA "Oh, he is adorable." Maria said as she carried Dante, planting a kiss on his forehead. I smiled. "Thank you." Although they had all seen him before and we had been here for the last five hours, everyone was still gushing over him. The men had gone out for a few hours and had returned in time for dinner. We were all in the luxurious lounge of the Rossi mansion. Only when I came here did I realise how wealthy the Rossi’s were; even Alejandro's luxury mansion did not exude the same level of elegance. Leo was sitting on one of the large sofas enjoying himself playing on Rayhan’s Xbox, and Raihana had told him he could take it back home too, stating that Rayhan no longer needed it. Speaking of Rayhan, he had video-called earlier and I had managed to say hi to Liam too. Alejandro hadn’t really talked to Rayhan. Even when Rayhan had found out he was awake, he had kind of ignored him, but today they’d had a conversation and I wa

ALEJANDRO I looked up as the door was flung open. "…is inside." Darien was saying. Scarlett gasped as she stared at us, whilst Darien flipped the light on. Did they really not know how the fuck to knock? Elijah looked pale as fuck looking between us both. "You are awake!" Scarlett exclaimed, rushing over as she glanced at me before turning back to Kiara. "You had the baby! Oh, hun…" Was she always so fucking loud? She looked chubbier than before, I frowned as I looked at Kiara as she was squeezed by her mother. Why hadn’t Kiara gained weight? My stomach sank as I looked past how beautiful she was. She looked tired. Her face was gaunter… and she sure as fuck had lost more weight… Fuck. Because of me... "Ow ow ow…" Kiara mumbled. I frowned seeing her mother squashing her and tugged her out of Scarlett’s arms forcefully, wrapping my arms around her possessively. "The doctor just told us you had a C-section! How are
Her Cold-Hearted Alpha 126. Complete Once Again
KIARA No matter how many people congratulated me solemnly on the birth of our son, it was still a heart-breaking time for everyone. My only contentment was that my baby had been born healthy. Serena had told Mom and Dad that I had the baby and Mom was determined to come, although she only had Azura the day before. I had told her not to, but she refused. We still had not told them about Alejandro. Just the thought caused another wave of pain to envelope me. I wanted to die, to break down, to let everything out, but I couldn’t because I had my little angel, the only physical remnant of Alejandro and my love. I never understood what it meant when they said a mother's love is unconditional, but now I understand it means that no matter how much pain we were in, we'd keep going for our children. For our son, I would keep going. I looked down at him as I fed him. He was a hungry little thing. His suckling was strong, his little hand holding on to my breast as he dra
Her Cold-Hearted Alpha 125. Two Choices
ALEJANDRO Nothing. I couldn’t feel anything or hear anything. Not even my heartbeat. Nor could I sense if it was hot or cold. There was darkness around me, yet at the same time, I couldn’t see it. It was just… emptiness. The pain that had consumed me was gone. I had been stuck in this state for so long that I had no idea how much time had passed. Was I dead? I had felt the agonising pain and then my life slipping from my grasp. The last thing I remembered was Kiara’s scream of anguish. I had failed her. I left her when she needed me the most. I once thought I’d destroy the world for her, but then I realised I needed to create somewhere safe for her. For our pup. At times, when I felt the darkness consume me, something would tug me back, leaving me suspended in this emptiness. But now… I was getting pulled into the depths of the darkness that I was always teetering at the edge of. A sudden dazzling light made me close my eyes, raising m
Her Cold-Hearted Alpha 124. A Life
KIARA The following day, things didn’t turn out as expected. Liam told Dad he wanted to leave for his Alpha training immediately. I knew Mom and Dad knew something had happened, but they didn’t know what. Raven came to see baby Azura but like always she was all smiles and energy. She was in pain, I could sense her emotions that she was trying so hard to hide but she still acted so cheery, waving a very cute yet ugly octopus teddy she had brought for Azura. I too couldn’t stay any longer either, although I wanted to be here for Raven, I felt unsettled and the urge to go to Alejandro was at breaking point. So the plan was made, Liam will drop me off and then head on to meet up with Rayhan who was leaving for his training soon too. Liam would stay at The Black Storm Pack for a week or so before both continued to their first location for their training together. I was dressed in Alejandro’s shirt and leggings, my hair up in a ponytail and a pair of sneake
