Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ANNABELLA’S POV

I was calm but my inside was in chaos. I couldn’t think because my mind was blank. Staring at his face didn’t seem to help me think but I wasn’t really ready to look away. At that moment, I wished I could read what was going on inside his mind and maybe know what he was thinking.

I wished he would tell me he was joking but obviously, he wasn’t the type to joke around. I thought I would never get used to this pack but it feels like I was losing something important, a part of me, I guess.

I didn’t know I was this comfortable in his pack and also with him.

Going rogue wasn’t safe for a wolf-less one like me but there was no way I was going back to the shadow pack. I was sure the pack had forgotten about me and everything that had to do with my existence.

I was pretty sure they were living well without me.

” Is it that easy for you to leave me?” my head snapped up and the cold look in his eyes displayed before me as he stepped closer, his gaze not breaking away from mine.

He wasn’t happy with my reply but why? Did he want me to leave? ” What do you mean by..” the door suddenly swung open and I stared behind him.” Roman..” Vincent’s wet body stepped in after his submissive tone broke in, he lowered his head when he saw me. ” There is a problem on the highway,” he said but Roman didn’t flench. His eyes continued to linger on me as they stared deep into my soul, the Intensity of it was weird and the feeling that always comes with it makes me wonder and sometimes leaves me speechless.

I bit on my bottom lip as I recalled what his touch did to me. My curiosity, taking the best of me, and I wondered what was going on. Vincent was still looking down at us.” Get the warriors to take care of it, I will join you soon” he said, his strong deep cold voice resounding in the room. Vincent turned back and left but not without looking at me.

” Wait here for the rain to stop.” He ordered and I bit on my bottom lip as my hand squeezed the edge of my dress.” Ahh….” I parted my lips as he turned to the door but hesitated. ” The contract can be activated,” he said before shutting the door behind him and I wondered what he meant by that.

My eyes moved to the glass wall and I couldn’t doubt how terrible the weather was. It was raining like never before and I couldn’t imagine myself walking through it. I stepped towards the couch and took a seat hoping it’s stop soon.

With my hands wrapped around me, my gaze fell on his black leather jacket on the arm of his chair. I didn’t know what came over me when I went and grabbed the Jacket, and sniffed it like a hungry poppy.

His scent was very addicting and I didn’t seem to get enough of it, something that I found strange to comprehend. He wasn’t my mate and it was only my fated mate that could have such an effect on me but I guess an alpha as hot and good-looking as him could do a lot to a female.

He wasn’t only powerful but also dangerously handsome.

His scent wasn’t supposed to make me feel this way nor was his touch.

He was the most dangerous alpha and the devil our world feared but I wasn’t scared of him for some reason. In fact, I was very comfortable around him even though I was initially angry with him for partnering with my father. I was supposed to be rejoicing because the devil wanted me out of his pack but I wasn’t. Because of him, I lost the only person I could call mine but none of these matter because I wasn’t happy hearing I was free from the contract and free to leave. I wasn’t happy that he had finally found the she-devil who was going to be with him forever!

What was going on with me?

My eyes pulled open when the light suddenly went off.

The sound of thunder caused me to flinch as I wasn’t a fan of it. I used to hide under my bed whenever the weather became this bad when I was young. I was very much afraid of the sound and the darkness but being in his office and surrounded by his intoxicated smell was very different and somehow peaceful. I wasn’t scared like I used to but worried for reasons I could tell.

The light suddenly flipped on and I sighed but still not okay.

Looking out through the transparent glass while sitting on the couch, I could tell how bad the weather was yet to become. The rain didn’t look like it was going to stop anything soon, the forest was really in chaos and the rain was getting heavy.

I didn’t know what I was going to do to kill time because the rain was obviously not planning to stop. A sigh left my mouth as I wondered what was going on that he had to leave in the middle of this bad weather, my gaze landed on the small bin at the corner of the room which had a file stuck in it.

Curiously, I walked up to it and pulled the white crumpled sheet.

My eyes rain through it memorizing every single word in it. It was the agreement he had with my dad, he really wanted to set me free? My heart started racing in my chest as I felt myself trapped by an unknown fear. My eyes widened when I saw the amount of money he gave to my father.

What did he really need that kind of money for?

I didn’t know what the pack was going through but the money he collected was more than what I was wealthy off. I wasn’t anything special, just a waste of bloodlines. I was nothing but a disappointment to both my parents and of course to Roman.

It hurt a lot for me to see myself like this. I couldn’t come to terms with the fact that I was born without a wolf and sold out like a commodity.

Eighteen years and my wolf was nowhere close, there was no sign of her. I couldn’t even heal on my own nor could I survive out there. I was really pathetic.

Who would even want me if my true mate could abandon me for another?

I crumpled the paper back and shoved it in the bin as my gaze shifted to the glass wall that sat at the left side of the room behind the couch which gives a perfect view of giant woods that take half of the pack land.

My mind started running in places as old memories swept in. With tears stuck in my eyes, I lay on the couch not knowing what to think or do with myself.

My eyes closed before I knew it. I could hear the thunder strikes and my grip tightened around his Jacket.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

I heard the door open but I couldn’t open my eyes to see who it was.
