The Alpha King's Heart
The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 153

Kate drove quickly passed the gathering traffic. She maneuvered her car from one lane to another, trying to beat time. She was going to visit Danielle and in her mind, she loathed the idea especially because she didn’t know what to say to her.

She would never have imagined that she would ever concede to confiding with her sworn enemy on issues concerning the heart.

She neared the house of Danielle and she slowed down approaching her driveway. It was already dark. The porch lights were on and there was a peace that could only be accustomed to a woman such as her, Danielle.

Kate stepped out of the car and approached. Her running car engine must have alerted Danielle because there was a curious peep from the blinds of the window before a few moments would pass by to open the door.

Danielle smiled at her welcomingly. She recognized Kate from the fight they had with Ethan but that was as far as she could remember. She could not remember that this was the same monster that had compelled her to forget a portion of her life when she had been left at the mercy of the night. Kate approached the door and she stopped in front of her instinctively, expecting nothing close to an invitation.

Danielle was beaming at her cheerfully and at last, she would invite her in. She was about to lead her in, purely out of kindness alone. But this was a monster in sheep’s clothing.

“We haven’t been properly introduced,” Danielle started impatiently.

“It’s probably best if you don’t get close to me. I tend to bring hell on anyone who comes into my life,” Kate told her quickly, ” Hello, Danielle, I have learned about you from, Ethan, ”

“Does he talk about me?”

“In a silent way, yes…”

Danielle took her time, studying this other woman. She was really beautiful and intimidating with her cold eyes, “Shall we go in and talk some more?”

“I must not stay,” she added. “I am only here to ask you to take care of him. He needs you right now”

“May I ask you a question?” she asked “Why is it that you have come here? What does he mean to you?”

“It’s not important…”

“I want to know,” she insisted.

“Ethan means the world to me. And I know that he means the world to you too and so we have that in common. We don’t want to see him hurt,”

“You don’t get to be that plain,” she warned, embarrassed and infuriated at how true those words were. “You have to clue of my feelings for him. He is just my boss and there is nothing to it.”

“Danielle, it’s written all over your face, as clear as day itself. You don’t have to agree with me but I just want you to listen,” she told her. “I am scared. For the first time in a long while I am scared that the person I once knew might be lost and it’s all because of me,”

“I don’t think I understand what you are asking of me,”

“I want you to go to him…”

“That’s kind of funny. I remember telling Ethan the same thing. To run to you, and he did,”

she breathed. “So, I do not believe that you need my help,”

“Please, Danielle,”

After a long time, she answered.

“Okay, I will try and talk to him……but-”

“But….?”

“Bradley is already on his way to meet him. Hopefully, he does not replace him mad in any way. He has a bad temper, especially lately,”

“What?”

“Yes, he told me that he had some questions he needed to ask him about some investigation” she explained.

Kate immediately took her leave, she barely bid goodbye and by now she was more in a state of fright.

Kate drove quickly passed the gathering traffic. She maneuvered her car from one lane to another, trying to beat time. She was going to visit Danielle and in her mind, she loathed the idea. But she had no choice. This other woman was probably the only person left that Ethan would listen to, the only person that could calm his state of mind.

She would never have imagined that she would ever concede to confiding with her sworn enemy on issues concerning the heart.

She neared the house of Danielle and she slowed down approaching the yard. It was already dark. The porch lights were on and there was a peace that could only be accustomed to a woman such as her, Danielle.
