Her Cold-Hearted Alpha Chapter 125
Two Choices
ALEJANDRO
Nothing . I couldn’t feel anything or hear anything . Not even my heartbeat . Nor could I sense i f it was hot or cold . There was
darkness around me , yet at the same time , I couldn’t see it . It was just ... emptiness .
✓ The pain that had consumed me was gone . I had been stuck in this state for so long that I had no idea how much time had
passed . Was I dead ? I had felt the agonising pain and then my life slipping from my grasp .
The last thing I remembered was Kiara’s scream of anguish . I had failed her . I left her when she needed me the most . I once
thought I’d destroy the world for her , but then I realised I needed to create somewhere safe for her . For our pup .
At times , when I felt the darkness consume me , something would tug me back , leaving me suspended in this emptiness . But
now ... I was getting pulled into the depths of the darkness that I was always teetering at the edge of .
A sudden dazzling light made me close m y eyes , raising my arm to shield them from the brightness .
Taking a moment to adjust from the darkness that I had grown so accustomed to . I looked around , only to be surrounded by a
white light . It was bright , yet it wasn’t painful on the eye . Where the fuck am I ? ” You’re exactly where I want you .
” An ethereal voice that sounded pretty goddamn soothing spoke . I looked around as I sat up slowly .
How the fuck did she hear me ? ” Because here ... I can see and feel 11 everything . I turned and frowned when I saw the
glowing outline of a woman , but somehow looking at her directly just hurt the eyes .
I looked away but from what I could tell , she looked about seven feet tall . Wearing pure white , her hair as long and a s white as
her dress . Maybe I was losing it , this shit wasn’t real . She laughed softly and the sound felt like i t was in my head .
” But of course , I am . ” She whispered softly , it felt like she was right next to me . I stepped away , glaring at her .
” Stay the fuck away from me . Where the fuck am I ? ” I growled . I felt my irritation growing when she simply laughed softly .
Something about her voice held so much power ... and it was then I realised she wasn’t human ...
” As I said , you are where I want you to be ... in other words , we are at the crossroads between the human realm and that of
the afterlife . ” ” Yeah , like I’m going to believe that shit . ” I snapped crossing my arm .
I looked around but all I could see was the bright light , and the mist or clouds that drifted around . It seemed it was only that mist
that covered my junk . The fuck was this ? ” You really are a stubborn one . Walk with me .
” Her command was absolute , and although I sure as fuck wanted to ignore her , I couldn’t . Finding myself walking beside her .
” Are you going to fucking share why I’m i n this shit show of a dream or whatever the fuck this is ? ” ” You are smart , Alejandro .
Do I need to repeat myself more than once ?
” I frowned . Like I’m going to believe that this shit was some fucking meeting between life and death . ” Believe it or not , it is the
truth . ” She stated .
I looked at her , not missing the aura that swirled around her , the power she held and the urge to yield to her . No shit ... I knew
who this was , but was it even possible ? ” Why not ? I breathed your soul into you , created you , so why can I not meet you ? ”
She now turned and looked at me , a knowing smile playing on her lips .
” Selene ... No fucking way . I didn’t get it , why the hell didn’t I just die ? ” Because you surpassed my every expectation . You
reshaped your destiny and did more than I ever expected you to do for my children , despite being different .
Whatever that meant . And yeah , her fucking reading my thoughts was fucking annoying as hell . ” Well , let us start at the
” I growled . She let out another of her whispery laughs .
” Oh , but we have eternity if I so wish . ” Well , fuck . I did not want to be stuck all damn eternity with some weird – as – fuck
woman playing goddess . ” Your sense of humour is indeed strange .
Now pay attention because your life hangs in the balance . ” ” F ” I’m already fucking dead . Nothing’s going to get me to listen to
your shit . ” I retorted . My heart ached at the fact that I had left Kiara . I had broken so many promises to her ...
” Then how about your mate’s destruction or survival ? ” Her voice was lower , and I sensed the warning in her calm tone . I
didn’t say anything . My heart tightened at the thought of hurting Kiara .
” Now , back to the story ... I create one Lycan every few centuries , when a calamity falls upon my children . Your soul held
darkness and I was not sure you alone were enough , so I created for you an equal .
A mate in the form of a blessed wolf , however I broke a rule to do that , and the price to pay ? After your trial in life , one of your
lives would end .
” Her words sent a stab of pain through me . So I was never meant to have a happy ever after ... I should never have strung
Kiara along . I had caused her unnecessary pain when I shouldn’t have ” Stop .
” Her command was supreme and m y mind went blank . She turned to me and for the first time , I could make out some of her
features and the sympathy in her deep black eyes . ” You deserve happiness just as much as anyone else and I have decided ...
I will give you a choice . “
What did that mean ? ” A choice ?
” ” Yes , I have two choices for you . You are welcome to choose either . ” She smiled .
I waited for her to continue and she turned . ” Option one , you may return to earth and spend the next one hundred and thirty full
moons with your beloved . On the last moon , you will both die . ” I frowned , doing a quick count . Ten years ...
” Option two , you will continue into the afterlife and I will take away all of Kiara’s pain , the emptiness of the broken bond and all
memories she has of you . She will b e able to live in contentment , I will bless her with every happiness in life with her son . She
will live to a merry old age , surrounded by her loved ones . A life perfect but devoid of you .
” She ended her statement , now turning back to me , her eyes boring into me . It felt as if she was looking into my soul , a soul
that felt empty without my queen .
My heart clenched painfully , to spend another moment with her ... But Kiara was only eighteen , how could I be so selfish and
even consider taking her life so early ?
She had her family , our son ... I looked at her , realising we were having a son . Fuck a boy ... a pup I’d never get to hold ...
The emotions that consumed me threatened t o cripple me . Selene would take away the emptiness from Kiara’s heart ...
she would be happy . I didn’t need to decide what I wanted . I knew the answer to that choice already . I took a deep breath
turning away from her , fighting back the pain and sadness I felt .
All I could do , to give Kiara the best life was ... ” ” I will move on to the afterlife . Bless Kiara with every happiness she deserves
, let her ... ” I took a deep shaky breath as I closed my eyes ” Let her forget me . ” Something wet touched my cheeks and I
brushed it away determinedly .
” Let her be happy . ” ” Are you sure ? Ten years together , as a family . It’s better than nothing . ” ” ” No. I will not shorten her life
. ” I whispered with complete determination , feeling my heart shatter completely ..
” As you wish . ” Her voice echoed around m e , and I was suddenly thrown into darkness . ‘ Forgive me , Amore Mio ... ‘ I felt
the pressure wrap around me and everything was spinning , I was being sucked away .
This was truly it , but I would happily embrace it as long as she was ok ... A blinding light surrounded me and Selene’s mystical
and all shall be replaced .
” I didn’t have time to understand what she meant as darkness enveloped me . I felt m y body weigh down on me . My chest and
ribs were suddenly aching and I sucked in a deep breath , as if I had been deprived of oxygen .
My eyes flew open and I stared at the ceiling . I shot up , looking around me , my heart beating loudly in my chest . I groaned , I
felt like I had been hit by a fucking truck or a shit load of rabid wolves .
I froze when I realised I was in my bedroom .... it looked the same yet different there were changes ... yet ... the delicious ,
intoxicating smell of hazelnut chocolate hit me hard and I inhaled . Kiara .
I looked at the tubes that were still connected to me and wrenched them off a s I pushed the blanket away . I was alive . I don’t
know how but somehow Selene ... ‘ You passed the test . ‘
Her words rang in m y head as I fell out of the bed , my legs screaming in pain as if they didn’t know how to function . I took a
deep breath , resting on all fours I suddenly realised I was alive .
Everything came rushing back , I had no idea what happened after that battle but I was fucking alive . Kiara . I needed Kiara . I
needed to see that she was ok .
How the fuck were we back here ? I crawled to the bathroom , grabbing the door as I pulled myself up and into the bathroom .
Going over to the sink , I stared at myself in the mirror .
I had lost weight , but apart from that , I looked the same . I splashed water on my face , before gulping some down . I didn’t
know what exactly happened , but I still felt like I had gone through hell and back .
I stumbled back into my room . ” Fuck . ” I looked up to see Darien standing there , pale like he had just seen a fucking ghost . ”
Al ... Alejandro ! Man , is that you ? ” He whispered .
” No , it’s the ghost of fucking Christmas past . The fuck ? Obviously , it’s me . ” I growled , my voice coming out fucking hoarse
as if something was being grated o n sandpaper .. ” Fuck ... We ... You ... ” I rolled my eyes as I staggered over to him .
” Enough of me , you , I and all that shit . Where is she ? ” ” H – hospital . ” He managed to stutter before I rushed past him as
fast as I could .
I needed to see her , now . I felt this emptiness within me , as if something was still missing . I probably fell down a few steps ,
not that I gave a shit as I ran out the door and towards the hospital .
I rushed through the empty halls , night had fallen and by the looks of it , it was near midnight . Her scent hit me and I stopped in
my tracks , my heart thundering . Even when I heard Darien enter the hospital , I didn’t bother with him as I followed the scent .
It grew stronger and with each step , I felt it give m e the strength to continue . I reached her room , my heart thundering as I
stared through the small window in the door .
My heart was in my throat as I looked at the scene before me . Kiara sat in bed , a baby in her arms as she breastfed him . Tears
trickled down her cheeks and I could sense the pain she was in .
My heart tightened painfully and I felt a s if I was drowning . Why was she so broken ? How long was I gone ? She had the baby
already ? ” You were in a coma for over four months .
11 ” Darien whispered from behind me . Several hours ago , your heart stopped ...
W e tried to revive you , she tried to heal you , but you were gone .
You were dead . We all felt it ... I don’t know how you’re back , but you’re back from the dead Al . ” Four months . I had left her
for four months . She had suffered alone , carried o n alone ...
A memory flitted through my mind when we had found out she was pregnant . ‘ If I were to keep it , you would support m e ... All
the fucking way ‘ But I didn’t , I wasn’t even fucking here ... I looked at her .
She looked as beautiful as ever , but the radiant smile that once graced her face was gone . The light in her eyes was missing .
My eyes shifted the bundle in her arms , ignoring my thundering heart . Our pup ... ” She had him a few hours ago .
A baby boy . ” Darien whispered . Was this really happening ? Was I really here ? Taking a deep breath , I reached for the
doorknob ...
