Her Cold-Hearted Alpha novel Chapter 102

KIARA

The next day I awoke , feeling a little cold despite Alejandro’s arms around me . After we left the caverns we went to get a quick wash out by the lake , something Alejandro only allowed me to do after the area was definitely clear of all life .

We then had breakfast before I started on the Wendigos . Many had been killed last night , but in total there were about thirty – two that I would be able to heal . The process didn’t take much out of me to start with , but after thirteen , I needed a break . Alejandro didn’t leave me for even a second .

He had contacted his men , who had been waiting at the outskirts of the forest to protect me , via mind link , and had told them about the turn of events . ” Come on , sweetheart , let’s get some food in you .

” I’ve eaten , I just need some rest . ” I said , rubbing my head . From the ones I had healed , not all of them were mentally stable , and I knew they’d need therapy or some form of help . What broke my heart was the youngest Wendigo was a girl barely seventeen years old .

Ever since I had changed her back , she had refused to let anyone near her . She seemed terrified and intimidated by all the men around too . ” Can you give us some space ? ” I said to Alejandro , looking towards the far corner of one of the cells , where the girl was huddled into a foetal position .

Not even bothering with the clothes that had been given to her . ” Sure . ” He said , frowning deeply . I knew he hated leaving me alone for even a second , but I was glad that he let me do what I wanted , even if he didn’t like it . ” Thank you . ” I said , tiptoeing to kiss his cheek .

He turned at the last moment , catching my lips with his own . Then gave me an arrogant smirk before I walked off . Knowing his eyes were on me , I ruffled my hair with both my hands , letting my top rise up a little , giving him a good view of my ass . I smirked when I heard his heart race and almost skipped into the cell , feeling satisfied .

My amusement vanished when I pushed open the door to the cell , sensing her turmoil of emotions ; fear , guilt , pain . I wondered if they remembered what they did in their Wendigo state ? If that was the case , this was going to be a lot harder .

” Can I come over ? ” I asked softly . She tensed , curling up tighter . ” S – stay away … ” She whispered . ” I just want to make sure you’re ok … I know , it won’t be easy … ” 11 I knew we were being watched . It had been the same since the morning .

Many felt confused that we were helping them without a reason . I just hoped they understood we were on the same side . ” N – no , I’ll hurt you ! ” She whispered . ” You won’t . ” I said firmly . I turned and looked at a few men who were watching , motioning to them that I wanted some food brought to me . One of them nodded and walked off quickly . I picked up the joggers and shirt that had been placed in the cell and walked closer . ” Come on , even if you’re scared to hurt me ,

I assure you I’m pret strong . ” You don’t know that . ” Came the quiet reply . ” Well then , I trust that you won’t , because I see a girl who’s been through hell and back in front of me , not a monster . ” I said , softly crouching down . Come on , get dressed . ” ” I to – told y – you I’ll hurt you ! ” She said , sitting up as she scurried away from me .

I looked at her sympathetically . ” What’s your name ? ” I asked . ” Joanna … ” She replied hesitantly . I flashed her a smile as I glanced around the gloomy cell , lit only by a few lanterns which had been placed in the halls and here for me .

” Queen Luna , the girl she speaks of , has escaped . ‘ ” Oh … ” . ” I said , looking back at the girl who simply nodded in understanding and looked away . It took me a moment to realise what they had just called me , but a s much as I wanted to deny the title , I was more curious about the girl . ” Who was she ?

” ” A witch with magic darker than Endora … ” Marcel’s voice came . I turned to look at him as Alejandro came over to me . ” Oh … ” I said , glancing back at Jo . I wonder why she wanted to speak to her . ” Don’t you think you’re saying that simply because Endora blinded you ? ” Marcel shook her head .

” No , Endora clearly turned to the dark … That child … She was born from darkness . ” He said , frowning deeply . ” I just hope she’s not caught , because Endora needed her … ” 11 ” Then it wasn’t fucking smart to let her g o then , was it ? ” Alejandro growled . ” To me … She was still a child , barely sixteen years old … I’m sorry , but I am not going to hold a child captive when I am acting of my own free will .

” ” Yeah , but we could have at least kept her the fuck away from Endora . ” Alejandro shot back . ” Ok boys … ” I said , placing a hand on Alejandro’s arm , before Marcel got fired u p too . ” Is something else bothering you ? ” He sighed and looked down at me .

” I felt a pack link break . I wanted to step out , get a cell phone connection and find out if it was Fred … or someone else . ” He said , his eyes flashing red . I nodded , my heart thudding at the thought .

How was Aunty Indy going to take the news ? I knew Aunty would always question if there was any chance of redemption , would he have changed ? I knew deep down that abusers like that never changed . I sighed deeply , hoping that Selene would grant my aunt the healing she would need to make it through this … Because it was surely going to devastate her …
