Her Cold-Hearted Alpha Chapter 118
Her Cold-Hearted Alpha Chapter 118
To Protect
ALEJANDRO
I kissed Kiara fleetingly before we rushed back to our positions . Calming myself for those who were
looking to me for strength . I couldn’t afford to feel anything but blood – thirst and confidence .
How was it that it had all changed when she came into my life ? I knew I’d be happy as long a she lived
… but I also knew she needed more than just herself to live … Her parents , her brother , me … For
Kiara , we had to win this .
I unleashed my power , opening my link so that I could connect to all Alphas . Alphas , who would then
ry it to their packs . I closed my eyes , taking a deep breath as I focused , reaching far out into the
woods that surrounded us .
Honing in on the smallest animal or sound , getting past the hundreds of heartbeats of my wolves . We
were spread out , disguised and hidden , then there were backup wolves far away in case we needed it
.
There it was , the silent movement of something dark , I couldn’t hear any heartbeats or footsteps and
my lips curled in disgust . Magic . ‘ Those in the northeast … fire blindly in one go . She’s there …. ‘ I
linked the Alpha and my pack members who were holding that position . I wasn’t sure if she’d have a
deflecting spell , but we would give it our all .
Silence followed before I heard the sharp wind whip through the trees and the shouts . They had
obviously done some damage . I clenched my jaw , feeling one … four … Five men lose their lives .
They were the first line of defence … I was the second . ” We fight for the win , for our loved ones , our
packs and to fucking destroy that bitch here and now ! Move !
” I ran ahead , a blur as many shifted . Bloodthirsty growls filled the air and a purple glow encircled us .
I cast a nce behind me at Kiara , who was running just a few feet behind me . With Elijah , Liam and
Rafael nking us .
I signalled everyone to stop when I saw it , the darkness that nketed the forest , pushing against my
own aura . Her cold , undisguised , sinisterugh filled the air .
” Foolish … To think that wolves can defeat me … It’s good to see you again , son . ” KIARA My heart
was thudding as I saw the glowing magic nket the area .
My eyes zed and I let my own aura out , I was not going to let her work whatever magic she was
trying to . Grandma Amelia had given me some strange tips , but unquestioningly I was willing to listen
to them . Our conversation echoed in my mind .
‘ My only worry is that my power depletes fast … Now don’t be stupid , like your useless father ! I like to
think you’re your mother’s daughter ! Draw your power from your source … What source ? … Selene’s
of course …
” The Moon . I didn’t know if it would work , but I intended to find out . The moon was high u p in the sky
, even if it was the night where witches were at their strongest , the moon was still dazzling brightly .
I heard Endora hiss in annoyance as she turned her gaze to me , her magic pushing against mine . ”
You won’t hold out for long … ” She chuckled . Throwing her arms up , she began chanting .
We moved fast , lunging at her , but her barriers held us off . I couldn’t see i f she was alone or not ;
just thick darkness that even my power couldn’t prate . I heard shouts and shrieks , feeling several
more wolves die .
Each one sent a painful , sharp tug through me . We were already losing men . ‘ Witches ! ‘ Someone
from our pack shouted . ” There are about four other witches . ” Dad said coldly .
” And so much more … ” Alejandro growled . It took me a second to realise what he meant when
several … ‘ things ‘ burst from the darkness .
There was no way to describe them . They weren’t wolves , nor were they Wendigoes , but they looked
to be a mix between them both . What terrified me most was the intelligence within their eyes .
” Look , daughter of Selene … Look at what I can aplish ! ” Endora shrieked . I didn’t have time to
reply , springing forward and engaging the first .
‘ Alpha Marcel said to let you know that some of the Wendigo’s are wolves ‘ that were thought dead ! ‘
Someone told us through the link . We were all inter rying , making sure everyone was in on stuff .
Obviously , it made sense why she didn’t make the rogues band together as a pack .
Marcel would know if someone was dead or not . Sure , she could use magic , but it would have been
harder for her . ‘ Leave the Wendigo’s to the rest . Let’s focus on Endora .
‘ Alejandro’s words came through the link as I deflected an attack , sting the thing back . Unlike the
usual mindless , blood – thirsty beasts , this one had the mind and fighting skills of a trained wolf ..
‘ Got it ! ‘ I shouted , cutting one of their heads off . SCARLETT It was a mess .
These Wendigo’s were nothing like the others .
They were practically stronger wolves … Looking at them standing on two feet … their speed and their
agility , I felt sick to say they reminded me of ‘ Lycans . Yes , they weren’t exactly like Alejandro , but
the disturbing simrities worried me .
I could feel the impact of their hits , feel the bond break when we lost someone . ‘ Damon ! Careful ! I
do not want Monicaing for me ! ‘ I growled , watching him take on two beasts . ‘ I can handle
myself , Aunty Red .
‘ His confident smile came as he ripped through a Wendigo . ‘ He’s a big boy Scarlett . ‘ Aaron’s voice
came . I shook my head at the father and son . I was about to shift when I felt unease settling in . I
sensed her before I heard or smelt her .
A witch … ” Ah … take out the leader , the rest will fall A whispery voice came .
The next thing I knew , I couldn’t see anything as heavy darkness surrounded m ‘ Scarlett ! ‘ Aarons
panicked voice came . ‘ Be careful ! ‘ I shouted , only to feel a block . I couldn’t hear anyone through
the link anymore .
‘ Aaron !? Aaron ! ‘ Nothing , I felt something rush at me and barely jumped out of the way . We were in
some whirling section of darkness and I could feel the barrier that was stopping anyone from entering .
It was then that I finally saw her , her long red hair swirling around her , her gold eyes glowing , and the
smile of pure malice on her face . ” One to one is fair , right ? ” She asked . I saw the runes that
covered her body wondering what they meant . ” Do you really think killing us is the right thing to do ? ”
I asked coldly .
” Who knows ? ” She brushed off . She whispered a spell and I lunged at her , she sted me back ,
mes wrapping around me , burning my skin . I bit my lip , drawing blood as I dared not let anyone
feel my pain .
Not my pack , nor Elijah . I was stronger than this . I wouldn’t scream . No matter how agonising this
was , my body was shrieking in agony as I tried to wait to heal myself . I forced myself to shift and
lunged at her .
She tried to st me back but she hadn’t expected me to be able to shift already . It seemed she didn’t
realise I was a fast healer . I mmed her to the ground , ready to rip her head off , when I was torn off
her and thrown against the swirling barrier .
I hissed in pain , feeling a s if my entire back had been shaved by jagged sandpaper . The smell of my
blood filled my nose as I stumbled to my feet and lurched at the witch . She sent another st of fire ,
knocking me back . How the hell was I supposed to attack her when I couldn’t even get close to her ?
I got to my feet , my grey fur matted with blood and the strong smell of burnt flesh . My eyes were
zing silver as I looked straight into her glowing ones .
The rage and determination ripped through me as I pounced …
INDIGO My heart tore in fear when I saw Scarlett being wrapped in that hurricane of darkness . No !
Not Scarlett ! The strong urge to protect her overcame me . I was not going t o lose another loved one !
I was rushing towards the darkness , when a strong hand gripped my arm and yanked me back . ”
What are you doing ? ” Marcel growled . I red at him .
I didn’t know him enough to judge , but right now , I didn’t need a Rossi telling me what to do ! ” Don’t
tell me what I can and cannot do ! ” I growled back . ” Scarlett needs me ! “
He let go of me to rip a Wendigo apart , slicing through it with one of his long twin des . He was
actually an impressive swordsman , something you wouldn’t see often in wolves ,
but right now it was helping against the Wendigo’s long dangerous ws that were like twelve -inch
knives . ” You can’t go . ” He muttered and I knew instantly someone had told him to watch out for me .
I turned , about to run off when he grabbed me by the back of my shirt . ” What the actual fuck ?! ” I
shrieked , ncing at Dad , who was fighting one of the Wendigos .
Elijah hadn’t been happy with him joining , but he had refused to back off , saying he would not stand
by when his children were fighting . He also refused to leave Scarlett alone … but now he was tired …
I looked around assessing the monsters , so far there were at least thirty … I don’t know how she had
an army that even Marcel hadn’t known of , but she had I red at Marcel .
” If you had kept an eye on your rogues , this wouldn’t have happened ! ” I spat . He frowned at me , ”
Really ? Seriously ? We’re going to me throw now ?
Not all these Wendigos were rogues … And besides , rogues mean lone wolves . I was not
ountable for all of them ! ” He growled back . ” I’ll go to Scarlett ! ” I snapped , ” I don’t need a Rossi
to tell me what to do !
“ He frowned but let go of me . I ran towards the zing whirlpool , only for strong arms to lift me up as
we went barrelling through . A burning pain screamed through me as the heat of that whirling force –
field melted through my skin and flesh .
I screamed in agony , knowing those arms were protecting me from the worst o f it . Suddenly it was
gone . I gasped for breath , my body crying in pain . Realising we had made it in . ” Fuck you all !
” The red – headed woman hissed , I saw Scarlett shifting back to human form , her entire body
covered in burns . I could see the blood and melted skin . I looked at the man who was carrying me ,
and I saw Marcel’s eyes zing as he set me down , lunging at the witch .
” Oh , look what we have here , a Rossi . ” She scoffed , sting him back . He ducked , shifting and
sprang at her , this time despite her ball of me he knocked her to the ground . I took the chance and
rushed to Scarlett .
” Hey , you ok ?! ” ” Why are you here ?! ” She growled at me , her anger and worry clear in her eyes . ”
Because … ” I said … Because you’re my sister … I couldn’t say it , I had always pretended she didn’t
mean all that much to me , but i t wasn’t true .
” Because I wanted to ! ” I shot back . 1 grabbed one of Marcel’s discarded swords and ran towards the
witch . A burst of mes mmed me back . I rolled away , getting to my feet only to see Scarlett
shifting once again , mostly healed .
Thank the goddess for her abilities ! As one , we ran at the witch whilst she chanted a spell , Marcel
managed to rip one of her arms off . I saw mes wrap around him as he growled , and was thrown
back , the witch fell to her knees . Her runes now glowing .
” How dare he ….. How dare you all ! ” She shrieked . We blocked and ducked her attacks , but the
ce was tight … ” Scarlett …
” I murmured . ‘ I heal well . I’m ending this now ! ‘ She said confidently through the link . My heart
thumped . Everything felt like slow motion from there …
The fleeting happiness to fight alongside my sister … A sister I always admired but never dared to
admit . My true queen … The look of determination on Scarlett’s face …

The all too well – known fact that she was reckless … The way she went forward , ignoring the witches
‘ chanting . No … don’t risk it Scar ..
The words never formed on my lips as I watched Scarlett continue forward , extremely fast , even when
a ball of magic mes was thrown at her , illuminating the darkness in mes .
I saw Scarlett knock the witch to the ground , watching the st rip her off and throw her to the ground
. It was happening so fast … but no … it can’t I lunged forward just as the witch moved her hand back .
Magic swirled around it , aiming for Scarlett’s chest as shey there battered in her human form . Her
body was shaking as she tried to get u P. Not my sister …
I heard a faint shout from Marcel …
The ng of metal hitting the floor as the weapon slipped from my hand … I couldn’t think of anything
but the fact I needed to protect her , to repay the debt to the woman who had always protected me
since I was a child …
The one who shielded me from everything , My Queen , my Goddess , my protector … My sister .
