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 . | knew Mom and Dad knew something had happened , but they didn’t know what .. Raven cto
see baby Azura but like always she was all smiles and energy .
She was in pain, | 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 . | too couldn’t stay any longer either ,
although | wanted to be here for Raven , | felt unsettled and the urge to go to Alejandro was at breaking point .
So the plan was made , Liam will dropoff and then head on to meet up with Rayhan who was leaving for his
training soon too . Liam would stay at The Black Storm Pack for a week or so before both continued to their first
location for their training together .
| 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 .
| was standing by the window inside Dad and Mom's house watching him , my hand caressing my stomach . ”
Are you really not going to tellwhat happened ? ” Mom asked from where she lay on the sofa with the baby .
"It isn’t my place to, ” I said quietly . There was no point in lying to her that I didn’t know when she knew I did .
She sighed . ” | know ... He needs to figure it out . | have a few ideas about what it could
be , but I'm not sure . ” She murmured . ” Hmm .
"| 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 ! | swear it could be Angela's story all over again .
” Mom said with a smirk . | looked at her , sometimes I felt | was older than her . Well , her assumptions were
wrong ... ” Who knows . ” | said , turning back to the window just as Liam slammed his trunk shut . ” You know . ”
Mom remarked . My heart skipped a beat as none other than Damon walked over to him .
| watched him trying to stop Liam from walking away , who clearly didn’t want to talk to him . ” Kiara , what is it
? ” Mom askedsharply . | shook my head . ” Nothing .
” | 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 , makinggasp . Damon
shoved him back into the car and | stepped back ready to rush outside when Damon walked off .
” Kiara .
” Liam's ready to leave Mom ... | should go 11 *** Mom put Azura down and cover to m e . Without her red
lipstick and makeup , she looked so much younger and dare | say it, gentler . | smiled at her when she wrapped
her arms around.
” | will cto you a week before your due date . ” She said kissing my forehead . | had to bend down a little for
her to reach. ” Thank you, Mom . ” | whispered , I didn’t have long left . It was finally tto go h.
The journey had been ok apart from two stops thanks toneeding the toilet and this baby kickinglike
there’s no tomorrow . Liam hadn’t spoken much , but he had also been really patient with.

| felt restless the closer we got to hand my stomach was twisting . Something just wasn’t right . The
warriors who had accompaniedwere following in two cars . | had no idea why I felt so uneasy .
. We had just entered pack grounds ; the welch, Luna ‘ cfrom many of my pack members through
the link . This truly was h... | just wish | had Alejandro with. ” You should stay for a bit . ” | said to Liam .
1 could feel his troubled state .
" No thanks , but take care of yourself . ” He said as he helped take my bags inside before givinga tight hug .
” Can't wait t o meet my little nephew either. ” 18 ” | will ... you too . ” | said quietly . | rested my head on his
chest wishing that he found his happily ever after .
” Things will be ok , Kia . ” He said softly . | nodded before he got back in the car and drove off . | hurried inside
and up the stairs , his faint smell mixed with several others hittingas | inhaled it deeply , wanting to get to
him quickly .
My heart was racing as | rushed down the hall . ” Kiara ! ” Darien said suddenly appearing i n front of, |
gasped , jumping back and | may have fallen if he hadn't caught.
” What are you doing ?! ” | scolded , my heart thudding . ” Sorry ... Can we- ” ” What happened ? ” | asked ,
sensing his panic and fear . ” Nothing ... His vitals just dropped a little . ” ” And you didn’t tell!
” | shouted , my heart squeezing as | pushed past him and into the bedroom . Serena , Doctor Callum and two
nurses were rushing around Alejandro . A little ? | 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 blazed in pure rage . How
dare they not tell! I rushed to the bed , placing 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?! ” | shouted , | 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 . | was coming t o
get you . ” Darien replied tight - lipped .
| could feel his worry despite how composed and calm he was trying to act . | couldn’t even focus on anything ,
my hands splayed on Alejandro’s chest . Pouring everything | had into him . ” What changed ?! ” | cried in
frustration ; his heartbeat was dipping .
” | 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
defibrillator . ” Callum said .
" He can’t die . ” | said , ” He can’t ! ” | looked at his face , his beard as groomed a s always . | had washed him
and taken care of him for the last 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 ! ‘ | cried through the link as | moved towards his head , letting Doctor Callum do what
he needed t o . | didn’t stop healing him , | couldn't let him go . Wasn't this my ability ? To heal ? Tears streamed
down my cheeks and | felt as if | couldn’t breathe ..
Sharp pains wrapped around my stomach , draggingfrom my thoughts , another strong cramping pain hit me
and | gasped in pain .
Not now , baby , not now ... | whimpered , feeling him kick . It was then | realised the pain I had just felt seconds
earlier was not from his kicking ... | bit my lip when another wave hitand | realised it was contractions . ”
One two ... three ! Again !
” Doctor Callum shouted as Alejandro’s body jolted up from the bed as he used the defibrillator . ” Kia are you ok
7!” Serena asked . ” I'm fine ! ” | whimpered , ignoring the agonising pain in my abdomen . | wasn’t ok . How
could | be ? When my mate was dying ! | was trying to heal him , but nothing was happening ! The pain in my
chest and stomach was only growing .
Listening to Alejandro’s heart rate drop then beat weakly , then the most terrifying thing | had ever experienced
happened .. His heart didn’t beat . M A long beep rang in the room and | felt something wrench in my chest, the
pain was even more than my contractions .
I didn’t even realise when | cried out, falling to my knees . | couldn't breathe ... This pain ... | felt as if something
was being clawed from. | screamed out in agony and then | 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 ! | gasped as | clutched
my stomach , staggering to my feet. No ... He can’t go , he can’t leave. ” He can’t. ” | whispered to no one
in specific , my aura flaring up as | grabbed onto my king's hand .
” Alejandro no ! Wake up !
"Ignoring the pain that tore through, | put everything into my healing , Tears streamed down my face as my
wolf whimpered in pain . You cannot leave! ” Luna ... Stop ... You're going to wear yourself out ! ” Callum
pleaded . But no one was able to get close to.
My burning aura filled the room and everyone was pushed away . ” You promised to be here ! ” | cried out . | had
hope ! Hope he'd wake up someday but how could he do this ! ” Wake up ! ” | screamed , ” Damn it ! Heal ! ” My
body tensed , another round of contractions rushed through.
” She's in labour ! ” Serena cried . | felt a gush and knew my waters had broken as well , but | couldn't focus on
anything but him . How could it be the day his son was to cinto this world he would leave ? My vision
darkened and | realised | had exhausted everything | had . | didn’t realise when Darien
liftedup , | only felt Alejandro’s hand slip from my grasp . No ... | can’t leave him .... | turned my head , my
gaze taking in the man that lay on the bed .
A king ... My king . | need you ... | opened my eyes gasping as | 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 | out ?! | closed my eyes , tears streamed down my cheeks as | sobbed in agony . Please don’t say
that . ” We tried for thirty minutes , but there was nothing we could do . ” He whispered . ” | left him ... this is
because | left him . ” | sobbed , clutching my chest .
It hurt, yet it also felt empty , like most ofwas gone ... and it had . Alejandro ... | grasped my belly when |
suddenly realised , | no longer had a large bump . ” My baby ! ” ” He's a healthy boy ... ” Callum said smiling
gently . ” Relax my queen , we had t o do a C - section . ” ” Where is he ?!
"| asked , panicked . | didn’t even wait for an answer as | pushed the blanket 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 ” | want my baby !
"| screamed . Everything was unravelling , | felt as if the walls were enclosing in on. | 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 . | rushed over, taking the bundle from her as | looked down at my baby .
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMy breath hitched as | felt his warmth in my arms , | fought back the tears as | gazed at my beautiful baby boy .
He had a head full of black hair , juicy cheeks and when he opened his eyes and looked at... | gasped .
Looking back atwas 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 | felt the power
that rolled off the child in my arms . ” He’s powerful . ” | whispered , in awe and worry .
I held my baby close , inhaling his soft scent , feeling all life leaveas | staggered to the bed . The nurse and
Callum rushed to assist. ” Skin to skin will help you both . ” The nurse murmured , helpingslip my gown
open and put my little boy inside before she adjusted my pillows for. ” He was three weeks early , but he
weighs 9 pounds and 6 oz . ” Callum said . | couldn't respond ,
| felt suddenly numb . This was supposed to be one of the best days of my life ... But it was the saddest day at
the st... | 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 | was crying for the loss of his father .
A father he'd never get to see . | sobbed as | rested back , looking down at him . Alejandro ... | saw him , in our
pup . He would have been so proud , he had wanted a baby boy . ” Alejandro . ” | 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 ? | began crying as | hugged my baby tightly . ” Is he really gone ? ”
| whispered . ” I'm afraid so Luna .
" DARIEN
| closed my eyes as | 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.
We had no idea what had changed , he was fine this morning . | took a deep breath , fighting back my own tears
. Right now , | 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 | 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 ... | was in awe when | had
seen the child .
His glowing red eyes , the power | could already sense in him, a child that would b e equally feared and
respected . Something toldhe 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 ? | 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 ? | pushed open the door to the bedroom , taking a deep breath , bracing
myself to look at the body of my best friend .
Someone | still could not believe was gone | looked up slowly and my breath hitched . My heart thudded as |
stared at the room before, 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 .
