Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ANNABELLA’S POV

Madeline was at my door knocking as her life depended on it. What could she want?

I tried telling her I didn’t sleep early last night but she wasn’t listening or maybe I wasn’t saying the words out loud.

I didn’t know how but the knocking faded in no time and I was finally having my peaceful sleep but it didn’t last like I thought because Madeline went for a spare key and by the time I knew it she was staring beside the huge bed pulling the bed cover off my body. ” You scared me, dear”

” I thought something bad had happened to you” she sighed when I didn’t open my eyes.

” Alpha Roman will be ready soon. Come on, let’s get you ready. ” My eyes flipped open. Was I becoming too attached to his name too?

” Yes, alpha Roman is coming to get you in thirty minutes” she explained and I stepped down from the bed in seconds pushing my feet inside my slippers before running inside the bathroom. ” Take it easy, dear” I heard Madeline shout from behind but I was already under the shower.

I was all cleaned up after a few minutes and out of the bath with a white towel around my waist. “This is what you will be wearing” Madeline pointed to the long red dress lying on the bed and I frowned, recalling I didn’t know what all this was about. ” Don’t frown, you will look good in that dress” Yes, it was beautiful but why was I wearing that, I mean it looked expensive.

” I was surprised he chose to go to this year’s prime ball,” Madeline said and I raised a brow. I knew about the prime ball which was arranged by the alpha king every year to bring alphas together. Many form alliances during this period and others too get to meet their mates if not most because a lot of alphas show their faces during this time both males and females. I was shocked he hadn’t attended one before, I mean who dares to disrespect the alpha king?

Well, alpha Roman didn’t seem like the kind to go by rules and I heard the alpha king wasn’t on good terms with him if he wasn’t scared of him.

Our world has laws that everyone needs to go by and I knew Roman wasn’t the type to care about those laws, he was his god, such an interesting creature.

Taking the law into his own hands and killing his uncle in cold blood was certainly a huge crime in the eyes of the elders. And I understand it wouldn’t be overlooked if it was someone else. I mean he was feared by many and out of that fear the elders chose to call their respect.

” I guess that’s thanks to you. ” Madeline’s delightful voice pulled me out of my thoughts. ” He has shut the world out since that incident and I’m glad he is finally coming around, he is letting someone in” She smiled as her words left a frown on my face. ” What incident?” I was curious to know even though I knew Madeline wouldn’t tell me directly. ” He was warned twice when he made that decision. Different bloodlines bring different fates, and sometimes calamity emerges and at the end awakens the darkness of an ancient curse,” she said with sad eyes I didn’t understand anything she was saying but her action told me it was something serious. Was she talking about Roman?

” Don’t just stand there, get dressed” she urged me and I didn’t ask any more questions.

But when I found myself standing in front of the mirror in the red dress it made me a bit curious. “You don’t like it?” She asked and I shook my head as I ran my palm at the side of my hip feeling the smoothness of the fabric under my palm.

” Why I am the one going with him?” I bit on my bottom lip. ” Don’t you think you are the reason for the change?” She smiled but that wasn’t answering my question. What change was she even talking about? ” You have made this day possible, whatever change I see right now is thanks to you ” well, I wouldn’t say I understand but I get her words out loud and clear and she has said the word ‘ change ‘ more than necessary.” What about Sandra?” I bit on my bottom lip one more time and Madeline grabbed my hand. ” Sandra isn’t someone you should worry about. You are in your place, you should enjoy every bit of it till the end. He is all yours ” she whispered the last sentence into my ears and I felt my core tremble in my underwear.

” You look beautiful, I have always known you are the new century” she smiled, touching my hair and kissing my knuckle. ” Your glow is what many have been waiting on” She sounded but I wasn’t bothered because she has always sounded strange even her long youthful hair was strange.

” He is waiting for you “Oh yeah, I just couldn’t stop staring at myself.

I stepped down the stairs and there he was standing in the living area in a simple black pant and fucking jacket as if he wasn’t going for a formal gathering.

Did I just curse?

Holy shit!

He is even great in that crazy outfit. He was super attractive and with the way he was looking at me, I felt like he was in love with me which of course wasn’t true. He has that female who was better looking than I was, much better. I bit on my lip and averted my gaze from his while I stepped down from the stairs but I couldn’t say he wasn’t looking because I could feel those eyes.

” Shall we?” I asked and he didn’t even try to hide his stares on me. How shameless…looking at someone else who wasn’t his mate. ” You look great,” he said and I stared back feeling Madeline’s presence behind me.

She was all smiling and making it more awkward than it was.

” I think we should leave before the rain starts pouring” I stared at the window and the clouded sky. ” Nothing can stop me from staring at what is mine,” he remarked and started towards the door. I couldn’t wrap my head around what he just said. Was he being serious right now?

I turned my face to Madeline who was still standing on the stairs, her hair falling behind her. Now that I have taken a distant look I think she didn’t look like a werewolf. She was beautiful, alluring, and embodied with wisdom.

Could it be that she was a demon?

” Go on dear, you don’t want to keep him waiting “She touched my shoulder and I pulled out my thoughts.

I knew I wasn’t supposed to have these stupid feelings for him but how could I get rid of them when all he did was be super good and mysteriously caring towards me?

I was struggling to not go back to what happened last night but my brain was independent when it came to him. His thoughts always rule every other thoughts, this made me think I was in love with him. I was romantically attracted to Roman. The man I accused of ruining my perfect yet imperfect life.

I loved him beyond my understanding. ” Vincent has taken care of your education,” he said all of a sudden and I found myself staring at him. Education?

Was he going to send me to school?

” You can go back to studying” he finished and I couldn’t stop myself from examining the side of his perfect face. Maybe I was attracted to him because of how good and soft he was with me. An attraction I know wouldn’t be any use. He has a mate, a perfect one at that….

I felt tears pulled up in my eyes but I forced it back as I threw my eyes at my side.

I stared out through the window even when the car stopped. I didn’t notice.

I was lost and buried in my world of loneliness. I couldn’t possibly hold onto these feelings. Roman has a mate who deserves to be happy, they both deserve to be. If not anything I should do for him?

I didn’t know how I ended up in this mess. I was supposed to hate him but here I was turning my heart and hating an innocent female because of my stupid feelings for him. ” Sign this” he held out a white paper before me and I shifted my gaze to his. ” Why?” I whispered, tears almost falling out of my eyes. ” You wanted this and I’m willing to give it to you,” he said and chewed the inside of my lip.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

What about his mate?

What would happen to her, us, after I sign this?

” If you want to think about it then I will wait” Why was I confused?

It’s a marriage certificate for goodness sake!

” You are going to keep as your second woman?”
