Her Cold-Hearted Alpha Chapter 43
An Apology
KIARA
I ced a hand to my heart, taking a deep breath. “Seriously, have you not heard of knocking?!” I
growled, getting to my feet and praying the thin, clingy fabric of my shirt didn’t reveal too much. Fat
chance, his eyes were already roaming over me. I yanked on the hem, hoping to cover my underwear,
only to notice his eyes shing red as they focused on my breasts which were now pressing against
the slightly sheer white fabric. Didn’t he say he was done and dusted with me?
My stomach fluttered and I slowly made my way back to my bed and sat down, crossing my arms
expertly over my chest. “Care to share why the almighty Alpha king graced my humble abode with his
presence?” I asked mockingly, d he was at least wearing clothes now. “To tell you, that whatever you
heard is not to be mentioned to anyone.” He said seriously. I frowned, curiosity igniting within me.
Should I say I don’t know what he’s on about? Should I dig a little deeper.. “I don’t know about that; I
mean it’s some pretty serious information… If it was so important, why didn’t you stop talking when you
knew I was awake?” I said, smoothly. ?
He red at me. “I didn’t realise you were fucking awake.” He growled dangerously. “Now that’s a
fucking order.” “On one condition.” I said, keeping my eyes firmly on his. “Who the fuck do you think
you are to put conditions forth?” He said coldly. “Then I won’t promise to keep my mouth shut.” I
countered confidently. “This is a serious lead, Kiara. One I’ve been going after for years. There’s a high
chance that Galloway Forest may contain the answers. I don’t trust many people, I can’t deal with
another leak.” He said quietly.
I felt my blood run cold, the name was ordinary and one I knew. Being thergest forest in the United
Kingdom… But why did I feel there was something off..? “Fuck, woman. Don’t ignore me. “He growled
dangerously. I looked up at him. “No… I’m not ignoring you. There’s ? something there. You should stay
away from it. I have a bad feeling.” I said, now rubbing my arms, trying to get rid of the goosebumps
that had settled there. Also trying not to flinch at the marks the silver de had left. “What do you
mean?” He asked, now frowning.

“I don’t know. I just have a feeling.” I shrugged, “Now can I sleep?” He looked at me, his frown partially
gone and I wished it wasn’t. He messed with m y mind and body so easily. “Callum told me about your
abilities. There are chances you have other abilities aside from healing.” He said. “You mean like my
sixth sense that oftenes true?’” I asked. “Maybe… I won’t believe in that unless I see it for myself.”
He said. I gave him a re but said nothing. Everyone back home thought it was just intuition, but I
knew Liam also had that sense too. Maybe it wasn’t the same thing “Have you told your parents?”
“No…” I said, thinking there was a lot I hadn’t told them… “Hm. Well, I think we need to. The Blood
Moon isn’t far off and that means many people wille here. There is a high chance of something
going down.” “What does that even mean? Are you implying I could be a target if my ability gets
out?” “I think you already are one. I froze. Suddenly Dad’s words came rushing back to me – ‘Our pack
is a hot spot for the attacks.. “Wait, did Dad have this assumption too? “I said, now standing up and
staring at Alejandro usingly. Is that why Dad sent me away?
“Maybe, maybe not. You’re going to have t o ask him. Originally, we thought it could be your mother.”
He said. “We?! Fuck. So, he only let mee to keep me safe!” I eximed. Irritation and anger were
now building within me. “Chill the fuck out. He did it for your own fucking good. Pups these days.” He
growled as he made his way to the door. “Hey, don’t call me a pup! I have the perfect way to piss Dad
off anyway. I’ll tell him what I’ve been doing here…” I muttered. He looked at me and for a second I
swore I saw amused curiosíty there, but it was gone as quickly as it came. “Oh yeah?
That would be fun to watch.” “Yeah, I’ll tell him we had sex… He’ll regret the decision for the rest of his
life… ” My amusement died away. No, I would never use that. Not after knowing how Dad still med
himself for my ankle. “Sounds pretty good. Maybe I’ll do the honours myself.” He said, humourlessly.
My smile vanished as he stood, his hand still on the handle. “Don’t. On that topic… have you told
Jasmin?” I asked. “No, I have nothing to tell her. I agreed to marry her the day after that night.”
He said. My heart skipped a beat but I somehow felt a little better… So I would only need to apologise
for the kiss. “Why the fuck do you even care? If anyone, shouldn’t I be the one to fucking regret it?” He
asked. His cold, dark eyes now bore into mine. “You don’t even feel guilty? Really? Not even for any of
your actions?” I asked. He looked away, opening the door. “No. I don’t give a fuck.” The door shut and
ay down on my side with a sigh. Tomorrow I needed to apologise to her, to get it off my chest.
The following day I felt much better and took a nice cool shower. Getting dressed i na pair of white torn
jeans and a neon pink crop top, I sat down on the bed. I wrapped a bandage around my ankle to ? help
support it before I pulled on some white sneakers and ited my waist- length hair in a loose braid.
Once I put on some matching pink earrings, I finished the look off with some subtle make-up. M y
hands were almost fully healed and my back was perfect.
It seemed Alejandro’s saliva worked better than the standard Alphas. I now looked at my hands,
cing them together as I tried to heal myself once again. I opened my eyes, the dull ache remained
and nothing had changed. Hmm, guess it won’t work… Maybe I just wasn’t meant to heal myself? I left
my room and bumped straight into Raven. “Ow my nose! Even those plushies didn’t protect it!” She
said, rubbing her cute button nose. I smiled in amusement. “I feel sorry for my poor boobies.” I said,
giving her a mock re.
She smirked. “Oh really? Well girl, we both know someone took really good care of them and seems to
adore them, so they get enough love.” She said with a gesture towards Alejandro’s room. I felt my
cheeks heat up slightly. “Idon’t think so.” I knew he couldn’t keep his eyes off of me, but for her to
assume that, was it that obvious? “Well, he always seems to have his eyes o n you.” She whispered as
we made our way downstairs. “Maybe, so what are you doing today?” I asked, desperately wanting to
change the topic.
“Shopping with Raihana and Serena.” She said. “Sure you don’t want to join?” “I can’t. I’m going to go
to the hospital to try and help the ones who need it the most.” She pouted but nodded in understanding.
I wrapped my arms around her. “I promise sometime before the Blood Moon, we’ll go out, ok?” “Deal, I
want a whole day.” She bargained lightly, wrapping her arms around my waist. I nodded in agreement; I
missed our time together. Sinceing here, things have been interesting to say the least. “You ok?”
She asked with concern, noticing my rather obvious limp. I smiled. “Perfectly.” I said, shing her a
smile.
I would tell her I sparred but I knew she’d g o ballistic. “Breakfast smells so good…” Raven said, food
being cooked. inhaling the Before I could reply the front door opened to reveal Jasmin standing there in
a ck leather skirt, a ck top that showed off her bra underneath, paired with killer heels and red
lipstick. The woman sure was hot. I wasn’t blmd to that… She even reminded me a little of Mum, from
the way she dressed and her red hair.
Although Mum’s was dyed red, this woman was a natural redhead. Apart from their fashion sense and
hair, they were nothing else alike. Well, I guess here’s my chance to apologise. Our eyes met and she
pursed her lips, clearly pissed off to see me. “Can we talk?” I asked, letting go of Raven, who gave
Jasmin a cold re before ncing at me and then walking off to the kitchen. “About what?” She said,
crossing her arms. “Can we talk outside?” I asked. She smirked. “Sure.” She said, her eyes falling to
my ankle as I walked to the door, finding it amusing.
I walked past her and stepped outside. She ran her fingers through her hair, a bored look on her face.
“Make it quick, I’m here to discuss our engagement with Alejandro. That sent a stab of pain through me
but m y face remained passive. I shouldn’t care. “That’s nice. The reason I wanted to talk with you was
to apologise. If I knew he had someone, I would never have kissed him back.” I said quietly… Or at
least I would’ve tried not to. ? My words seemed to surprise her as she searched my eyes suspiciously.
“Are you actually apologising?” She asked. “Yes. I’m not a home-wrecker. I wish you both a happy
married and mated life. Congrattions.” I said and smiled softly. There is a sense of tranquillity when
you can just ept something and let go. Even though it hurt inside, seeing that an apology made
someone else feel better was enough.
I knew it would take me time to get over these feelings I had towards him, the way he made me feel…
But he chose Jasmin, that was enough to show what he wanted in life. “Wow. Thanks. It really pissed
me off seeing that, but I guess you’re not to mepletely. Alpha Alejandro is a catch.” “Hm, as one
Alpha’s daughter to another Alpha’s daughter. Can we put the past behind us and move on?” I asked,
not wanting any bad blood. She pursed her lips, then shook her head. “Whatever, fine.” She said with a
nod. ” – Just stay away from my man.” a I smelt him before I even heard him approach. I didn’t want to
be here any longer.
“I will. All the best, I better get inside to-” “Alejandro! Kiara here was just apologizing.” Jasmin said. I
didn’t miss the smugness in her voice, but I was not going to let her pettiness get to me. Couldn’t we
just behave like two women instead of this childishnessing in the way? “What are you doing here?”
He asked, ignoring her remark. I turned to walk inside when Jasminughed. “To talk about some stuff
with you… And maybe… Catch up on other stuff…” I couldn’t help nce at them, as she trailed her
hand down his stomach. My heart thrummed painfully in my chest. Just walk away Kiara… just walk…
but I couldn’t. I watched as she locked her arms around his neck. He caught her by the waist as she
tugged his head down and kissed him on the lips.
