Her Cold-Hearted Alpha Chapter 124
A Life
KIARA
The following day , things didn’t turn out a s 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 .
Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
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 n 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 ck 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 sneakers on my
feet . Liam was just taking his bags to the car . We hadn’t spoken about it again , but it was clear he
was running away .
I was standing by the window inside Dad and Mom’s house watching him , my hand caressing my
stomach . ” Are you really not going to tell me what happened ? ” Mom asked from where shey on
the sofa with the baby .
” It isn’t my ce to , ” I said quietly . There was no point in lying to her that I didn’t know when she
knew I did . She sighed . ” I know … He needs to figure it out . I have a few ideas about what it could
be , but I’m not sure . ” She murmured . ” Hmm .
” I said not wanting to ask her what , just in case she was close to the truth and my heartbeat gave it
away , but she decided to share anyway . ” One , Raven didn’t turn out to be his mate . Two , he’s
mated to a handsome boy ! I swear it could be Ang’s story all over again .
” Mom said with a smirk . I looked at her , sometimes I felt I was older than her . Well , her assumptions
were wrong … ” Who knows . ” I said , turning back to the window just as Liam mmed his trunk shut
. ” You know . ” Mom remarked . My heart skipped a beat as none other than Damon walked over to
him .
I watched him trying to stop Liam from walking away , who clearly didn’t want to talk to him . ” Kiara ,
what is it ? ” Mom asked me sharply . I shook my head . ” Nothing .
” I said quietly watching the boys . It was clear Damon was trying to talk to Liam , who refused to even
listen . He was shaking his head before he suddenly punched Damon straight across the jaw , making
me gasp . Damon shoved him back into the car and I stepped back ready to rush outside when Damon
walked off .
” Kiara .
” Liam’s ready to leave Mom … I should go 11 *** Mom put Azura down and came over to m e . Without
her red lipstick and makeup , she looked so much younger and dare I say it , gentler . I smiled at her
when she wrapped her arms around me .
” I wille to you a week before your due date . ” She said kissing my forehead . I had to bend down
a little for her to reach me . ” Thank you , Mom . ” I whispered , I didn’t have long left . It was finally time
to go home .
The journey had been ok apart from two stops thanks to me needing the toilet and this baby kicking me
like there’s no tomorrow . Liam hadn’t spoken much , but he had also been really patient with me .
I felt restless the closer we got to home and my stomach was twisting . Something just wasn’t right .
The warriors who had apanied me were following in two cars . I had no idea why I felt so uneasy .
. We had just entered pack grounds ; the wee home , Luna ‘ came from many of my pack
members through the link . This truly was home … I just wish I had Alejandro with me . ” You should
stay for a bit . ” I said to Liam . I could feel his troubled state .
” No thanks , but take care of yourself . ” He said as he helped take my bags inside before giving me a
tight hug . ” Can’t wait t o meet my little nephew either . ” 18 ” I will … you too . ” I said quietly . I rested
my head on his chest wishing that he found his happily ever after .
” Things will be ok , Kia . ” He said softly . I nodded before he got back in the car and drove off . I
hurried inside and up the stairs , his faint smell mixed with several others hitting me as I inhaled it
deeply , wanting to get to him quickly .
My heart was racing as I rushed down the hall . ” Kiara ! ” Darien said suddenly appearing i n front of
me , I gasped , jumping back and I may have fallen if he hadn’t caught me .
” What are you doing ?! ” I scolded , my heart thudding . ” Sorry … Can we- ” ” What happened ? ” I
asked , sensing his panic and fear . ” Nothing … His vitals just dropped a little . ” ” And you didn’t tell
me !
” I shouted , my heart squeezing as I pushed past him and into the bedroom . Serena , Doctor Callum
and two nurses were rushing around Alejandro . A little ? I could sense the anxiety and fear rolling off
every single person in this room . ” … ready , just in case .
Oxygen levels dropping to 78 … heart rate – Luna … ” Callum looked pale . My eyes zed in pure
rage . How dare they not tell me ! I rushed to the bed , cing my hands on Alejandro’s chest and
poured my healing into him . Callum looked at the machine . ” It’s not picking up .
” Why did no one tell me ?! ” I shouted , I felt sick . ” It only happens ten minutes ago Luna and when
we heard you were on your way back , we knew you’d be here soon , rather than panic you on the way
. I wasing t o get you . ” Darien replied tight – lipped .
I could feel his worry despite howposed and calm he was trying to act . I couldn’t even focus on
anything , my hands syed on Alejandro’s chest . Pouring everything I had into him . ” What changed
?! ” I cried in frustration ; his heartbeat was dipping .
” I don’t know . ” Callum said . ” The only thing I can think of is you not being here b y his side . ” It felt
as if my own heart had stopped beating . My visit away cost him . No ! No ! ” Luna move back , we’re
going to use the defibritor . ” Callum said .
” He can’t die . ” I said , ” He can’t ! ” I looked at his face , his beard as groomed a s always . I had
washed him and taken care of him for thest four months and he truly looked like he was just asleep .
Praying that he’ll wake up soon , this can’t be happening .
‘ Please baby , wake up ! ‘ I cried through the link as I moved towards his head , letting Doctor Callum
do what he needed t o . I didn’t stop healing him , I couldn’t let him go . Wasn’t this my ability ? To heal
? Tears streamed down my cheeks and I felt as if I couldn’t breathe ..
Sharp pains wrapped around my stomach , dragging me from my thoughts , another strong cramping
pain hit me and I gasped in pain .
Not now , baby , not now … I whimpered , feeling him kick . It was then I realised the pain I had just felt
seconds earlier was not from his kicking … I bit my lip when another wave hit me and I realised it was
contractions . ” One two … three ! Again !
” Doctor Callum shouted as Alejandro’s body jolted up from the bed as he used the defibritor . ” Kia
are you ok ?! ” Serena asked . ” I’m fine ! ” I whimpered , ignoring the agonising pain in my abdomen . I
wasn’t ok . How could I be ? When my mate was dying ! I was trying to heal him , but nothing was
happening ! The pain in m y chest and stomach was only growing .
Listening to Alejandro’s heart rate drop then beat weakly , then the most terrifying thing I had ever
experienced happened .. His heart didn’t beat . M A long beep rang in the room and I felt something
wrench in my chest , the pain was even more than my contractions .
I didn’t even realise when I cried out , falling to my knees . I couldn’t breathe … This pain … I felt as if
something was being wed from me . I screamed out in agony and then I felt a sudden emptiness .. ”
Luna ! ” ” Again ! ” Callum shouted , but it was useless .
His heart didn’t beat again . Y ” He’s gone . ” Darien whispered , stepping back . No … No ! I gasped as
I clutched my stomach , staggering to my feet . No … He can’t go , he can’t leave me . ” He can’t . ” I
whispered to no one in specific , my aura ring up as I grabbed onto my king’s hand .
” Alejandro no ! Wake up !
” Ignoring the pain that tore through me , I put everything into my healing , Tears streamed down my
face as my wolf whimpered in pain . You cannot leave me ! ” Luna … Stop … You’re going to wear
yourself out ! ” Callum pleaded . But no one was able to get close to me .
My burning aura filled the room and everyone was pushed away . ” You promised to be here ! ” I cried
out . I had hope ! Hope he’d wake up someday but how could he do this ! ” Wake up ! ” I screamed , ”
Damn it ! Heal ! ” My body tensed , another round of contractions rushed through me .
” She’s inbour ! ” Serena cried . I felt a gush and knew my waters had broken as well , but I couldn’t
focus on anything but him . How could it be the day his son was toe into this world he would leave
? My vision darkened and I realised I had exhausted everything I had . I didn’t realise when Darien
lifted me up , I only felt Alejandro’s hand slip from my grasp . No … I can’t leave him …. I turned my
head , my gaze taking in the man thaty on the bed .
A king … My king . I need you … I opened my eyes gasping as I jolted upright , a dull pain in my lower
stomach . ” Alejandro ! ” ” Luna … ” Callum said , his eyes shadowed . ” We’re sorry , but there was
nothing we could do . ” It was dark outside .
How long was I out ?! I closed my eyes , tears streamed down my cheeks as I sobbed in agony .
Please don’t say that . ” We tried for thirty minutes , but there was nothing we could do . ” He whispered
. ” I left him … this is because I left him . ” I sobbed , clutching my chest .
It hurt , yet it also felt empty , like most of me was gone … and it had . Alejandro … I grasped my belly
when I suddenly realised , I no longer had arge bump . ” My baby ! ” ” He’s a healthy boy … ” Callum
said smiling gently . ” Rx my queen , we had t o do a C – section . ” ” Where is he ?!
” I asked , panicked . I didn’t even wait for an answer as I pushed the nket off and rushed to the
baby crib that stood beside the bed , but it was empty . ” Where is he ?! ” ” Calm down , Luna , the
nurse has gone to clean him up . There’s something we need t IF o tell you ” I want my baby !
” I screamed . Everything was unravelling , I felt as if the walls were enclosing in on me . I couldn’t lose
them both .
No , how could I lose Alejandro ?! ” Luna … calm down . ” Callum said just as a nurse rushed back in .
He had probably mind – linked her to return . I rushed over , taking the bundle from her as I looked
down at my baby .
My breath hitched as I felt his warmth in my arms , I fought back the tears as I gazed at my beautiful
baby boy . He had a head full of ck hair , juicy cheeks and when he opened his eyes and looked at
me … I gasped . Looking back at me was not just an ordinary pair of eyes , but eyes that were bright
red . What made my stomach twist with nerves was the slight dark glow that emitted from them . A
softer version of Alejandro’s Lycan eyes .
” Yes … that’s what we want to tell you . His eyes seem unique . ” Unique . My heart thumped as I felt
the power that rolled off the child in my arms . ” He’s powerful . ” I whispered , in awe and worry .
I held my baby close , inhaling his soft scent , feeling all life leave me as I staggered to the bed . The
nurse and Callum rushed to assist me . ” Skin to skin will help you both . ” The nurse murmured ,
helping me slip my gown open and put my little boy inside before she adjusted my pillows for me . ” He
was three weeks early , but he weighs 9 pounds and 6 oz . ” Callum said . I couldn’t respond ,
I felt suddenly numb . This was supposed to be one of the best days of my life … But it was the
saddest day at the same time … I couldn’t believe h e was gone , it didn’t feel real . It hurt that instead
of crying in happiness to meet my little prince I was crying for the loss of his father .
A father he’d never get to see . I sobbed as I rested back , looking down at him . Alejandro … I saw him
, in our pup . He would have been so proud , he had wanted a baby boy . ” Alejandro . ” I whispered .
The pain in my chest was unbearable .
” Luna , you can go to him soon . We won’t move him until you tell us to . ” Callum said gently ,
sadness in his own eyes . Move him ? Meaning to bury him ? I began crying as I hugged my baby
tightly . ” Is he really gone ? ” I whispered . ” I’m afraid so Luna .
” DARIEN
I closed my eyes as I listened to Kiara’s gut -wrenching sobs as she hugged her child , turning away
from the small window in the door . We had all felt our Alpha pass . Seeing Kiara’s agony , her pain and
her effort to revive him … it broke me .
We had no idea what had changed , he was fine this morning . I took a deep breath , fighting back my
own tears . Right now , I was in charge . Do we tell Rafael that his brother had passed away ? So far ,
only those in our pack knew , but it was too soon to tell anyone else .
The entire pack was restless . Although I had broken the news that our future king had been born , we
were still mourning the loss of our previous king . This day would b e the saddest for this pack … I was
in awe when I had seen the child .
His glowing red eyes , the power I could already sense in him , a child that would b e equally feared
and respected . Something told me he would be far stronger than his father even .
This should have been a day of excitement , a day of happiness … But it wasn’t . Seeing Kiara , a
young girl who was only eighteen , lose her mate …. She had been so strong , so positive that he
would wake up .
I made my way back to the mansion , the setting sun casting long shadows on the floor . Why Selene
… ? Why did you do this ? I pushed open the door and walked up the stairs with a heavy heart . Why
did we have to lose our strength ?
The one who was the shield for us all . We needed him . Kiara needed him ; his son needed him . Why
didn’t he get a chance at his happy ending ? I pushed open the door to the bedroom , taking a deep
breath , bracing myself to look at the body of my best friend .
Someone I still could not believe was gone I looked up slowly and my breath hitched . My heart
thudded as I stared at the room before me , the setting sun cast warm light through the room ,
illuminating the bed . The bed that we had left Alejandro in . A bed that was now empty .
