ANNABELLA’S POV
It was already enough that I had to leave my life and everything behind to save the pack that didn’t care about me.
I didn’t know why I had to lose everything just like that but I went crazy thinking about what beta Vincent told me, I couldn’t sleep the entire night so I decided to check it myself and to my dismay, the beast’s beta was correct. I found a written agreement in his office that states that my father has indeed sold me to Alpha Roman!
I clapped my hand on my mouth to stop myself from screaming but it was too late to stop my tears.
What was left of me was gone. The little life left in me was snached from me right at that moment that I wanted to end it all
Why was the world cruel to me?
Was the pack going that bad? Why didn’t he look for other alternatives instead of handing me over to the beast like I wasn’t his daughter. Just like Olivia, I was also his daughter, I was his blood.
I stopped the shower and reached out for the white towel to clean myself. I was sure I resembled a zombie because I lost an entire night without a wink.
I searched for my dress only to realize I left them in the bedroom. I stepped towards the mirror and wrapped the towel around my chest.
I stepped out of the bathroom only to find the devil standing in all his glory. His white hair looked disheveled and his broad chest exposed to my naked eyes but the cold look in his eyes made me look away.
” Ahh..” I stepped back as if running from him but he stepped forwards like he was chasing me. I saw his eyes narrowed and I wished I could understand what he was thinking. I suddenly went from angry to curious, my gaze wandering around his face not knowing what I was looking for.
” You were in my office,” he demanded and I parted my lips but failed to voice out anything. Should I tell him I knew about his agreement with my father? ” I wanted to bring you ….”
” Don’t bother next time ” he cut me off with a warning look in his eyes even though his tone was cold but strong and strict.
” How old are you?” He suddenly asked and I felt my heart jump in my chest. Did he find out? I wasn’t sure but why was he suddenly asking about my age?
It suddenly hit me that my father may not have told him that I was wolf less because I doubted he would agree to have me if he knew. No alpha would want a wolf less she wolf as a mate let alone have one as a breeder.
” Eighteen” I replied with shaking lips, dropping my gaze and biting on my lips. He might have probably sensed I didn’t have a wolf and I wonder where that would land me. If he rejects me then where would I go, I doubt my father would take me back?
I was already on my own before coming over to this pack. I lost everything before running over to this strange place that I was expected to call home.
” You are eighteen?” He blurred it out as if he didn’t believe me which wasn’t supposed to bother me but I got irritated. His eyes kept lingering on me, making me feel uneasy but I was eighteen and whatever he believed didn’t matter because the truth couldn’t be changed because of his doubts. ” Do you know what I do to those who lie to me?” He asked and I shook my head feeling a little bit scared after all he was alpha Roman.
I bet he burns them or worse, buries them alive. ” I want to believe you are nothing like your father” he said in a serious tone and I raised my head to meet his gaze ” I want to believe you are not judging me on baseless facts ” the words slipped out of my mouth before I could control it besides, it was unfair for him to judge me per his doubts concerning my father. I was his daughter, not his reincarnation or something close.
If he really hated my father this much then why did he trust his words? Why was I here in the first place?
I should be the one questioning him after all I was the one left in the middle of all this. I was the one who had to endure what I didn’t bargain for.
” You could have chosen another alpha if you doubted him this much?” Why me? I lived a happy life before but this whole thing destroyed my world and made me a stranger in my own world. I became a stranger overnight both in my family and in my pack. Not even a single person stood up for me, everyone turned their back on me and let my father shove me here without a thought. ” I was once a happy girl, ” I told him in anger. He destroyed my world with his proposal and expected me to play the good girl and not lie to him.
” What if I’m like my father?” I lashed out at him without reminding myself who I was talking to.
I was too angry to pay attention to the cold look on his face. I was too broken to listen or hold back my anger.
” Do you really want to know!” He stepped forward and kept stepping forward until my back hit the wall. His hands, not leaving the pocket of his pants and his gaze took their stern point as they stared back into mine ” Why, you don’t want to know again?” He chuckled as if sensing the fear in my heart. ” I don’t want to hear, all I know is you disrupted my life and turned everything upside down. You have made everything impossible for me!” I said as my gaze search for the file I picked from his office. I stepped towards the small closet that has my stuff and pulled the white out. ” This is what you have done to me” I raised it to his height and something like fear flashed in his eyes but I wasn’t sure if a beast like him know what fear meant.
Probably he was hurt that I found out earlier that planned but I wasn’t going to try anything because I have nowhere to ran to neither did I intend to endanger my pack.
I was sure my father would pay for any mistake I make just as it was written in the paper. One year and an heir, I hope I would survive it. I pray I live to see it pass.
I stiffened” You did this to me but don’t worry I’m not going to run” I stared around the room with tears in my eyes. ” I will fulfill my duty just as it’s stated in the contract” I blurred out without knowing the meaning and length of my words.
” But remember I will leave afterwards” I reminded with enough courage and his face frowned.
” This place can never be my home” I told him while staring into his eyes.
