Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ANNABELLA’S POV

Instead of Madeline, it was Roman in the kitchen!

What was he doing?

‘ making you breakfast.’ Eve teased and I bit on my bottom lip as I stopped on the stairs in my short night dress. It was a white kneel-level nylon dress with a tiny arm that barely covered anything.” You are up early.” I was about to tiptoe back to my room when he spoke, his voice was deep but clear.

I didn’t have school and I was up early, it was weird and I was equally surprised. ” did you sleep well?” he asked, and I replied.

Sometimes I hated the shifter world. Nothing could be reversed, he always smelt me before I could think of making a run. ” I’m testy,” I murmured, sticking my bottom lip in my mouth with my hand resting on the rail.

He washed his hands and strode to the shelf where he grabbed a glass before going to the freezer to get a bottle of water.” Here.” He said, his eyes staring in my direction. I didn’t miss him staring at me from bottom to top with narrowed eyes. I wasn’t used to looking like this before him. ‘ You can’t be shy, he is our mate.’ Eve was beginning to make me hate having a wolf. Always interrupting my thoughts and saying staff she was t supposed to.

” Thank you.” I took the water from him and gulped down half of it. ” What are you making?” I dropped the glass on the countertop and raised my eyes to look at him.

His white hair was messy and his black top was a bit tight so his broad chest was mounted in the dress. Sexy was his nature and attractive was the one word that could describe him. I couldn’t break my eyes from him, the tattoo that slipped up to his left neck. ‘ Are you going to keep staring at him without touching him?’ Eve scolded. ‘ I know you want to touch him, why do t you go ahead?’ she was impossible. ‘ Will stop exaggerating?’ I pushed her away but she crawled back. ‘ We are the luckiest!’ she yelled and I chuckled with a smile. We were indeed lucky.

‘ He is handsome and I know you love him more than heaven.’ she said and my smile widened. This animal was a lot of work but yes, I loved him more than I did love heaven. ” You are right,” I whispered without realizing I said it out loud.

” Did your wolf say something?” I got startled and almost fell back and hit my head but he grabbed me from the other side of the counter. His huge palm clipped my shoulders, my eyes staring widely at him. ” Mind if I know?” I swallowed and immediately averted my gaze from his sinful face.” She…. she…. she didn’t say anything.” a smile broke on his face as he stared at my weird reaction. ” What if I find out you are lying?”

” Ahh…n…no I’m not lying. It’s just that she was talking about how…..” my gaze met his blue attractive eyes that were wealth dying for. What the hell was wrong with me?

” No, it’s nothing important,” I said and he let go of my shoulder. ” So she did say something.” he didn’t push it and I was grateful he didn’t.

The sudden aroma of the food made my stomach growl and before I could blink there was a plate before me. ” You didn’t have anything last night.” He said and I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my face. He was the first person who loved me for who I was.

” Did Madeline tell you?” she nodded just like I expected.

Wolf or wolf-less, he cared about me from the start. something my family couldn’t offer me.

” What are you thinking?” He asked, his eyes running over my face again but this time I didn’t hide away. It was a bit surprising because the only time I would face him head-on was when my anger overflowed. ” Just thinking of the past.” The time when I would look at him with anger and hatred. The time when I wanted to leave this pack and away from him.” You knew I was your mate but didn’t tell me.”

” Did you have to set me free?” I said after a few seconds of silence. He could have looked for other means to tame me but he chose to let me go. Did he not want me at that time?

” I didn’t know he rejected you.” The words slipped smoothly out of his mouth. His eyes staring back into mine.” So you came to my rescue after you found out.” I assumed and he nodded.

” I’m glad you came for me. I’m lucky to be part of this pack.” at least I was accepted here, there was no doubt I was scared when I first came here. I was dead scared because I had no hope nor did I believe anything good could happen to me.

I didn’t expect to find a second chance mate. ” No, I’m happy you came into my pack and my life.” He took my hand in his. ” You are everything to me.” My inside twisted as I felt the sincerity in his words. ” Why did you bring Carolina here?” I asked biting on my lips and looking away from him. I didn’t know why I brought that up but I wasn’t happy with the way she was always all over him.

Maybe I hated how she was beautiful and strong. Sometimes I get this thought that she was a Luna material and I wasn’t. Just look at it carefully, Carolina was older, beautiful, experienced, and strong while I was just an eighteen-year-old girl who hadn’t even finished college yet. What could I possibly offer him that she wouldn’t be able to give more?

” Her work here is to be a doctor.” He said, his tone was a mix of sarcasm.” I’m not jealous, just curious.” I denied and a cute chuckle left his mouth. ” I never said so.” I stared, swallowing the knot in my throat.

After eating breakfast prepared by Roman, he offered to take out of the pack and since it was weird I didn’t need to worry about school or pack training.

I didn’t know where exactly it was that he was taking me but I was excited as long as I was with him.

” Where is this place?” I asked as we stopped before an old building, his hand holding onto mine. ” Are you scared?” I turned to look at him for a few seconds before shaking my head. We were far from the main pack house and besides, he was with me.

“I’m not scared, just feels weird,” I murmured having a weird feeling in my chest, my gaze running around the place. It was as if I had seen this place before.

” Why does it feel like I have been here before?” I whispered and Roman stared at me with a look that I couldn’t explain. ” I don’t know, they just look familiar.” The minute I said those words I noticed a black huge wolf running out of the building with blood all over its mouth. I stepped away in terror as I thought it was going to bump into me. ” Did you see that?” I asked and Roman approached me, grabbing my shoulder. ” What did you see?” His question made me feel like he knew something I didn’t, his eyes turned cold with concern and curiosity.” The black wolf that just ran off.” I pointed to the direction it took and he raised his eyes to look.

” See there is another one.” I pointed to the side of the door and when it stared in my direction I stumbled back in fear. What was happening to me?

” Calm down and tell me everything that you see.” Roman’s voice pushed away my fear, his presence made me a bit calm. ” You can’t see it?” I didn’t know what I was expecting but when he shook his head, I didn’t know if I was going insane or I was cursed.” Where is the other black wolf?” He asked, his eyes staring hopefully into mine as if my words were important to him, I pointed to the opened door which seemed to be closed in reality.

” Let’s go inside.” He helped me up, my hand clenched onto his black leather jacket.” Someone is screaming up there.” I didn’t know what I was seeing but seemed like it wasn’t real.

The house looked old when we arrived but what I saw wasn’t an old house but an inhabited mansion. ” She is begging…” I said without realizing how horrified I sounded.

We followed the familiar stairs and ended up in front of a door that looked equally familiar.” She is dead.” I murmured as the cry ceased.”She is calling your name.” I turned my face from her bloody body to stare at Roman. ” She is dead.” my eyes were moist and he squeezed my hand. ” Someone is crying for help.” I said as tears left my eyes, my whole body was shaking.” The wolf is attacking everyone.” my lips were shaking, and before I could say another word I felt my eyes closed.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
