King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

44 His Hatred 

KIARA

Leo’s eyes seemed to turn even colder as he glanced at the girl in his arms.

“Your daughter…” A dangerous smirk crossed his face, making my own heart race.

“Come here, si.” Rayhan came down the stairs, walking towards Leo, only for the younger man to step back and hold up a finger warningly.

“What’s the rush, scared I’ll hurt her? I guess she is in my hold…” “Leo.” Rayhan’s voice was menacing and cold, his eyes flashing green as he glared at his cousin in a clear warning.

What was wrong with them? The thick tension in the air was scaring me, what do I do?

Suddenly, Leo threw the girl in the air, making me gasp, although it was only a foot in the air it was obvious he was trying to rile Rayhan up. Rayhan lunged to catch her, but Leo pushed him back, catching the girl, who now burst into tears. It hadn’t been a high throw, but it was obvious she was terrified and that Leo was taunting Rayhan.

‘Alejandro! We need you at the mansion! Now!’ I called through the link, unsure what else to do.

“B*****d!” Rayhan hissed, grabbing his daughter from Leo’s arms and shoving the younger man back roughly. “This is not a f*****g joke!” ‘Coming.’ I was relieved Alejandro didn’t question me and was coming. I heard footsteps behind me only to see Liam, Kataleya and Skyla approaching. “Go inside, girls.” I commanded, wondering if I should take the crying child from Rayhan, as Leo laughed sadistically. Both girls hesitated before Skyla nodded and pulled Kataleya away. “Don’t worry, unlike you, I don’t target the innocent.” Leo replied coldly, his laughter vanishing as he stared at Rayhan with pure hatred. “Don’t ever f*****g think you can do that again. Touch my kids one more time and I will f*****g.” “And you will what? If you want to kill me, you need to do it now whilst I’m still wolf-less,’ cos once I shift…” He left his threat hanging, raising his arms as if inviting Rayhan to attack him.

Mustering my courage together, I hurried over, hoping Rayhan trusted me and took the crying child from his arms. To my surprise, he let her go and I stroked her hair backing away from the two men.

“There, there, princess, it’s going to be ok.” I whispered, hurrying back to where Liam stood with a face full of make-up as he watched the two men sharply.

Come to think of it, his eyes weren’t the shade I remembered, weren’t they meant to be cerulean blue? Why were they that dark, magnetic blue? And that scar… “Just a fake, he isn’t the real Liam.’ A voice whispered in my head, making my heart thunder as
