Her Cold-Hearted Alpha Chapter 121

Devastation

KIARA

” I love you … Amore … ” His voice pierced m y heart . The sadness , regret and guilt in his eyes before they closed . No … This was not farewell ! Pain ripped through me and never had I felt such a level of hurt .

It was worse than seeing Alejandro and Jasmin together at the mating ceremony . My knees almost buckled under the agony , my eyes on Alejandro as he ripped her heart apart .

” Baby no ! ” I shrieked . No ! I can’t lose you ! No ! His howl of pure agony ripped through the air , and it was a sound I’d never forget . I rushed towards him , falling to m y knees . ” Hold on ! ” I cried , pressing my hands to his chest . I poured all my healing into him . My heart was thundering as I tried to listen to his heartbeat . Nothing .

” Goddess no ! Please no ! ” I cried . My eyes were blurring with tears but I didn’t stop .

He had to heal ! He couldn’t die ! Why him ! No … please no … ” He’s … gone … ” Someone whispered . I didn’t even notice when everyone hadi gathered around me or the fact that it was raining lightly . ” He isn’t ! ” I cried out .

He couldn’t leave me , I felt the weakening bond , but it was still there … He’s still here No one spoke , as Mom wrapped her arms around me , letting me do what I needed to SEE Please , Selene … Please … A broken sob left my body as I rested my head on Alejandro’s chest . ” Please … ” I whispered . ” You promised me ”

*** A faint beat of a heart reached my ears and my heart leapt . He was still here ! I didn’t stop pouring my healing into him , but the heartbeat remained faint .

Why wasn’t this working ? ” Alejandro ! Baby come on …

” Kiara … You’ve healed what you can . ” Dad’s quiet voice came . H ” No ! It’s not strong enough yet … I kept going . My entire body was screaming for a break but I couldn’t . My vision blurred , but I couldn’t stop . What if he slipped away ?

The thought terrified m e . I couldn’t live without him . He couldn’t just step into my life and then leave ! ” Kiara ! Think of the pup ! ” Mom pleaded , cupping my face and forcing me to look at her . My heart pounded as the truth hit me .

I couldn’t help Alejandro … Why ?! Wasn’t this my gift ?! Why can’t I heal the one I loved ?! What kind of joke was this ? I pulled away , refusing to stop , not relenting until I felt the strain wrapping around my stomach .

I stilled , I had used up everything I had … but I couldn’t risk the pup . If it wasn’t for my pup , I’d have drained my entire life source for Alejandro . My tears spilt down my cheeks as I kept my hands on Alejandro’s chest .

His heartbeat was so faint … ” You’ve healed him . The rest is up to him . Endora tried to take him with her , but she didn’t succeed . Have faith , Kiara . Rafael’s hoarse voice came . 11 I looked up at him , seeing the pain in his eyes .

” He’ll be ok , Kiara … We all know how stubborn Alejandro is . ” Dad said softly . I didn’t reply , looking at the man before m e , his body covered in dirt , blood and sweat . His handsome face looked as if he was simply asleep .

I cupped his jaw , leaning over and placed a deep kiss on his lips . Wake up , my king … Please wake up … Nothing . I could barely feel him breathing . What was wrong ? Why wasn’t his heartbeat steadying ?

My mind was going through a vicious cycle of questions that had no answers . ” Kia … ” Mom said softly . ” Let’s take him inside . ” Rafael said , gently . I didn’t want to move away . Mom pulled m e back and Rafael lifted his brother .

I could barely stand , my energy was completely depleted . I reached out to Alejandro , don’t leave me …. please … My vision spun and I felt myself fall forward before darkness welcomed me … TWO DAYS LATER ..

The devastating aftermath of a battle was never one of happiness … We had won , yet I felt nothing but remorse for our losses .

We had lost so many … Uncle Aaron , Grandma Amy , Grandad , Aunty Indy , Daniel and his mate … Valentin … Someone I had struggled to save , in the end , he still lost his life . So many had lost their mates , parents , siblings .

It hurt more than I could ever put into words . Everyone was affected , one way or another . Two days had gone by , yet my king never awoke . His heartbeat was fainter than an unborn pups … I was unravelling .
