Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

28

ANNABELLA’S POV

I stared in shock when the door pulled open as if I knew who it was.

I kept my eyes on him until he was inches away from me. I didn’t know how but I felt like hugging him so tight and not letting him go back to that female. Thinking about him having a mate hurt my chest, I wasn’t yet sure what this was about.

I bit on my lip to control the stupid urge that was making me restless and having stupid thoughts. I didn’t know why I was so attached to him in such a way when I knew fully well he had his mate with him.

What was wrong with me?

I frowned when he placed the tray in his hand on the bed beside me. I sniffed the delicious aroma of the food and couldn’t believe he went through the trouble to make something for me in the middle of the night. What was he trying to achieve, I mean he already has a mate.

I met his eyes and I felt as if there were hidden emotions in them. His behavior didn’t correspond to the rumors I heard before coming over.

Ruthless and ugly best, why was I getting the feeling that he was indeed ruthless and I was the only one not seeing that side of him?

” Eat,” he said calmly and nonchalantly but the sternness in his voice unshaking. He likes to command people around. ” I will see you in the morning” For some reason his words irritated me and I immediately said no!

He narrowed his eyes ” I’m not eating that” I told him in a determined tone and he tilted his head to one side as if amused by my action. His playful look made me feel like a joke, his hands still caged in the pocket of his pants, his cold nonchalant behavior spiked me as I tested anger in my eyes.

The left side of his lips curled into a dirty ruthless smile when my stomach growled. I could have sworn I heard him chuckle and that made me embarrassed but I didn’t move an inch.

” We both know you need that,” he said as if I couldn’t last the night without eating it and I hated to admit it. That very much irritated me.” No, you are wrong” I challenged him and he stepped forward with one step. ” You will eat that,” he said, not looking away from me, his gaze back to their normal coldness and his face a bit frowned. ” I’m ..” the rest of the words died in my mouth with my lips hanging open when he pulled me up from the bed, my chest slamming his as the spark electrified between us.

My shocked gaze lingered on him as my ears picked up the rhythmic beating of his hard chest. It felt as if time had stopped, everything around us was no more except the two of us. He was the only thing I could see or maybe he was the only thing I wanted to see at that moment.” You are hungry” wasn’t a question. My eyes dropped to his cute lips and the stupid urge to kiss him serged into my stomach causing it to chuck badly.

What was wrong with me?

“The food is getting cold” he whispered with a raised brow as if aware of what his present did to me. And I immediately pulled away upon remembering he had a mate who might be waiting for him. ” I’m not hungry, I will go to bed now” The moment I said those words I regretted it because when I looked up at his face I saw the hurt lingering in them. I saw the eyes of someone who cared about me and wasted his time making food for me. ” Ahh ” I couldn’t finish my words because he stepped closer to me again, grabbing my arm. ” We both know you are hungry and I would feed you if you don’t stop playing stubborn. ” His voice was ruthless and stern. He sounded different from what I knew him of. Did I make him angry?

I stared back into his cold stern eyes and I felt like I was looking at a different person. Like the ruthless alpha, Roman everyone talked about? Like the beastly alpha that the world was terrified of. Il

I wasn’t sure of what I saw anymore because the dangerous look disappeared all of a sudden like it was never there.

” Eat, I will clean it up after ” he stepped back, letting me go and taking the couch opposite the bed.

I sat quietly taking a bite of the food and it tasted better than I imagined. He was a better cook than I could ever be and for some unknown reason, I loved his cooking. My body felt like it was finally having what it needed.

I swallowed the second bite as I could feel his gaze burning on my side. I wasn’t comfortable with his stares so I didn’t dare look up at him especially when I could feel the wetness in between my thighs. I was also afraid I might do something to piss him off again.

” Your face ” I stared up at him in confusion with my mouth full. ” I will clean it” he pushed forward and while staring into my eyes, he stretched his left hand and skipped the corner of my mouth.

I stared at him. I was shocked and more surprised when he slipped his finger into his mouth to lick it. ” Finish your food” he broke our stare and went back to the couch.

I still couldn’t get over what just happened. Did he do that?This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

I stole glances at him from the corner of my eyes while enjoying my meal.

He was handsome even when he wasn’t a smiling cat. His eyes seemed to spread life inside of me even when it was cold.

His tight, strong jaws were in place, perfect and beautiful. His mighty cold sculptured face was as beautiful as a forbidden fruit.

” You should sleep, it’s morning already,” he said and I stared up at the clock on the wall as if to confirm it. ” Tomorrow will be a long day, ” he said and I frowned, wondering what he meant. He carried the tray and left through the door. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to know what he meant.
