Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ANNABELLA’S POV

Dinner with Alpha Abraham was good until the tension between him and Roman became noticeable. The two seem to know each other more than it meets the eyes and I wondered what the beef between them was about.

Each word that slips out of Alpha Abraham’s mouth is accompanied by sarcasm and his smile follows. Some of the things he said were only in my ears and I have no understanding of them.

He was too cunning and sarcastic for his age, even though he wasn’t all that old.

Anyone who didn’t know the alpha king would think he was younger and I guess that was because of the wolf blood that runs through his veins. It has been like this for centuries, alpha stops aching once they reach a certain stage so do most shifters.

I stared at my side at Roman who looked like he was just eighteen.” I hope this won’t be the last time I would have dinner with you, alpha Roman?” Alpha Abraham said with a smile before averting his gaze from Roman to myself, he was such a strange man. ” My bad, I didn’t properly introduce myself” he nodded his head towards me “I’m alpha Abraham and you are welcome into my pack” See why I called him a strange man? He opened his arms at each side as his eyes ran proudly around the place. ” Thank you, I’m Annabella” I replied and he raised a brow. ” Just Annabella?” I stared confusedly at him wondering what he meant before turning my face to Roman for a few seconds. ” It means Alpha Roman is still single?” I glanced at Roman who met my gaze before biting my face in my food. ” Maybe I should introduce you to my daughters the next time we meet again” I didn’t expect his last statement but what was I thinking? Not like he hasn’t found his mate.” I have two beautiful daughters who will be interested in meeting you even though I’m not sure you will ” I couldn’t help staring up at Alpha Abraham who was smiling and I didn’t think he was joking either. I was hoping Roman would clear his misunderstanding and tell him about his mate but it didn’t seem like it was happening.” You just said they are beautiful so why won’t I?” I almost coughed out the food I just put in my mouth hearing his sudden response.

” Sorry but I think you misunderstood, Roman has found his mate.” I met his nonchalant gaze and I had to swallow something in my throat feeling the threat in them. ” That is very disappointing, I wonder who the lucky woman is”

” Of course, she is right before you” Roman grabbed my hand from my lap and placed it on the table with his on top. ” She is your mate?” I didn’t know if he saw the shock on my face but I felt my heart throb in my chest. What was he doing?

I turned my face and bumped into his gaze, his eyes changed colors and for a few seconds, I saw something in his eyes. Darkness!

” Ahh,” I stared away immediately as If it was going to swallow me.

” Excuse me” I pulled my hand out of his grip and immediately fell out of my seat. I panic. What was happening to me, what did I just see? I shut the bathroom door behind me and leaned my back against it with my left hand clenched on my beating chest.

What was that?

” Are you okay?” His sudden voice startled me as I felt something settle in the pit of my stomach.

I moved away from the door and he stepped in. The mere sight of him brought bills in my throat as I could myself get cold. ” You are shaking” he raised a brow. ” You don’t look okay” he took a step forward and I took one back, suddenly scared of him. ” I’m fine”

I leaned my hands on the sink and sighed when the door shut back. The image that I saw in his eyes returned back like a playback image. There was blood, darkness, and fire.

” Dinner is closed have a rest.” his strong deep, cold voice found me as I stepped out of the bathroom. And sensing his gaze from the corner of the room, I froze in my step as I felt goosebumps on my skin. I suddenly felt my heart racing again but this time not in fear.

” I will let Vincent get you something if you still want to eat. ” He didn’t let me speak as he had everything planned out, his mind seemed to be made up. ” Did you finish your conversation with alpha Abraham?” his predator gaze didn’t leave me,” I have nothing to discuss with Abraham ” I wasn’t surprised to hear him call the alpha king by his first name. ” Weren’t you going to marry one of his daughters?” Did he really forget to do soon?” Are you jealous?” With slow predator steps he halted in front of me, his hand pulled out of his pocket, and drew back a strand of hair from my face. ” Do I have to be?” I folded my hand under my breast. ” Didn’t you introduce me as your mate?” I asked and the corner of his mouth raised a bit. Was he really enjoying this? It was the second time I have seen him smile.” Isn’t that the right thing to do?”

” You think she will be happy to hear this?” His eyes went back to their coldness and I tilted my head to the side like a stubborn spoiled cat. ” I guess you don’t want her to find out” I whispered like a broken vessel and turned to walk to bed but that was until he pulled me into his broad chest.” Care to tell me what you mean?” His face was an inch away from mine. His eyes staring into mine, I could feel his touch like fuck and I swear my body was relaxed under his gaze and touch like it was right.

His hand on my waist felt like it was supposed to be there. My throbbing core wasn’t any news nor did it feel wrong. Why did the most sinful thing in the world feel right? I was sure killing him wouldn’t feel wrong as well.

” Why did you come here with me instead of her?” A frown settled on his face. ” You are in your place” I didn’t know what he meant but his words and behavior back there weren’t just acting for me because I was giving myself foolish hopes. Every word that falls out from his mouth either lights my heart or hurts my soul.” We both know you have a mate, remember?” I couldn’t stop the tears that pulled up in my eyes as I let the word out.

He suddenly pulled me into his chest and wrapped his arm around me protectively so that for a minute I felt as if I was in my place.

“You can’t be jealous of her because you are the one rejecting me.” he said and I frowned “What do you mean?” What was he trying to say?Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

” You should come to me when you have doubts” What was that supposed to mean?

” She…” I felt his cold lips on mine and my eyes widened.

” She is not my mate” he stepped back and I was suddenly met with coldness. ” Then who is?” He stared back into my eyes, desperation as I bit on my lip nervously. “Focus on giving me an heir soon” he dropped the words before pulling off his jacket.

What did he mean by that?
