68. Her Strength
KIARA
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
Her Cold-Hearted Alpha 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
Her Cold-Hearted Alpha 71. His Resolve
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,
Her Cold-Hearted Alpha 72. A Warning
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
Her 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,
Her Cold-Hearted Alpha 74. An Angry Mother
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
Her Cold-Hearted Alpha 75. Midnight Baking
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
Her Cold-Hearted Alpha 76. Amore Mio
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
