Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ANNABELLA’S POV

” He is a monster!” My father’s voice came through from the side. At first I became confused as to why all of the sudden but hearing his second sentence left me in awe.” I won’t let him hurt you.”

Did he regret his actions? Well, how could that be? He couldn’t possibly regret it. For eighteen years he never looked at me like he did with Olivia, why all of the sudden? What about what happened back at the ball? He introduced my mate as his daughter’s mate and we both knew I wasn’t the one he was referring to.

He still has no shame but to appear before me and start talking about protecting me? When did he start caring this much about me that I didn’t realize? Did he really nor know he was a beast before forcing me to live in his pack as his mate! I wanted to yell everything to his face, I wanted to curse him and look him in the eyes and tell him how much I wished I was never his daughter!

A sudden rage grew inside me just by looking at him and listening to him.

He took my mate from him as if that wasn’t enough, he sold me off for money and now he thinks a word from Jim would erase everything and make him a better father?

Why did he suddenly need my approval to save me? Did he ask me before selling me out to Roman for money? I couldn’t stop my tears, it was too much to take.

I didn’t know I was hurting this much but it hurts me to think he did all that to me without thinking of how I would feel.” What, did you suddenly feel pity for me?” Because I knew he wouldn’t regret, not when I have never mattered to him, it has always been Olivia so what was with the sudden concern?

” Anna please understand, the pack needed the funds.” Summer said and I raised a brow with tears in my eyes. “What about now?” Summer of all people should have protected me but what did he do?

‘ He is just an asshole who doesn’t know what he wants.’

” What?” I asked stepping away with a frown lingering in my eyes.” You don’t have to be afraid, Alpha Christopher and I will protect you.” Did he just say protect? ” Don’t you think it’s too late to think about that now?” I titled my head at the side, staying or leaving his side wasn’t my decision to make. I would stay if Roman wanted me to, the moon pack became my home the moment I was forced in by him who never cared about me, who was willing to sacrifice me to save his pack. ‘ Don’t believe a word he says.’ the voice came again and I stared around the hallway. Was my mind playing tricks on me? ” Come on Anna, the pack….”

” I don’t care about the pack!” I half yelled, staring strongly into my father’s eyes. I didn’t know when I stopped caring but since none of them cared about me, I wouldn’t want to care either. I was nothing more than a woofless she wolf in their eyes. I have never been anything more to them other than the burden I have always been.

” I don’t want to have anything to do with the shadow pack. I hope you deal with your problem yourselves.” My eyes shifted from my father to Summer before walking away, surprised by my own actions.

Maybe the old Annabella would have jumped to this news but I wasn’t that girl anymore. The old Annabella would have easily trusted him just because he said so but now, I couldn’t even recognize myself. The girl who wanted his love so much was no more!

I couldn’t understand my own thoughts, everything was blurred yet clearer. Nothing I did made sense anymore, one minute I wanted to leave and the next seconds I didn’t want to.

I turned down the hallway towards the backyard as I wiped my face. A sigh escaped my lips as I stepped into the garden in the backyard.

It has been months but I wasn’t sure what I feel for him. I was indeed disappointed in him, his betrayal hurt me but not anymore. I wasn’t certain about how I felt towards him.’ He is not wealth your love ‘ I picked the strange sound again as I reached the inside of the garden.

Perhaps fresh air would help me relax.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

” Who are you?” I asked, staring around the garden, a bit dark around here with numerous trees at the edges and flower plants scattered across. Royal pack was beautiful but I loved the moon pack better because I felt protected and safe there.

It was quiet with no sign of someone. I didn’t know how possible it was but it felt as if the voice came from me.

Weird right?

‘ Get out of the darkness, it’s too dangerous to be here without Roman.’ it came again and I turned on my side to look at the trees ahead. Why was I getting the weird feeling that someone was watching me? I spinned around to leave but came face to face with him.” Roman….” my shock voice sounded as if I was caught red handed doing something wrong. ” You…” I bit back my words when he stepped forward, too close for me to not smell his rich flora and woody scent with notes of bergamot, rose and sandalwood.

My eyes stared back in his cold expressionless blue eyes and I felt a bit weird, like different. My emotions towards him seemed to have changed, it used to be only for physical contact but looking back in his eyes brought a strange feeling in my chest.

It makes me want to have a test on his lips, looking at him turns me into a whore. It was far too unpredictable, it was as if I could read my inner feelings. The desire to touch him and feel his closeness was making my hand aching.” What are you doing here?” The sound of his deep voice flipped my chest.

Was it me or him?

” Waiting for you?” I bit on my bottom lip as the words left my mouth before I could swallow them. What was I doing, flirting with him?

” Are you okay?” He asked and I immediately stared down. I wasn’t sure what was going on with me. I was reacting like an animal in heat.” Is there anything you want to tell me?” He grabbed my chin and I felt the sparks. His eyes change colors as the smell of my arousal spreads in the air. ” Nothing.” I stepped away from him and a slight growl left his chest.

” I was bored.” I said turning my back to him. Maybe I needed to relax and get my mind off certain things like Summer and my father. I was just overreacting and I knew it, I thought.

” What do you actually want?” I heard his deep voice and I turned to face him with parted lips. What did he mean by what I wanted? I watched with chaotic heart as he started a predatory step towards me. His eyes were glaring at me like I was his prey. The yarning was too much for me to take, my whole body was reacting strangely and that wasn’t normal.

” Do you promise to give me what I want?” I asked, taking a step back. I was scared of the things that were running through my mind.

They say he was a beast and we were made to believe he was a monster. We trusted the rumors and believed him to be a cold blooded killer which wasn’t a lie but I was drawn to him despite how dangerous he smelled. ” I want to remain at your side.” I said, my eyes gazing directly into him. I didn’t know the consequences of my wish but I wanted to try. I wanted to know the outcome.

” I don’t plan on letting you go.” He wrapped his hand around my waist and I shut my eyes to welcome the sweet strange feelings that made me lose control of myself.

I felt his tongue on my neck and a sweat moan left my lips. I was indeed attracted to Roman from the beginning and I failed to notice it.

I felt a sharp pain on my neck and I felt my eyes glow. The sound of his low growl filled my ears, my legs suddenly grew weak and I held onto his jacket tightly like my life depends on it. What was wrong with me? A sudden dizziness clouded my sight and I couldn’t bring myself to open my eyes. ‘He is our mate.’ I heard the voice again, before I would pass out completely I heard his worried voice.” Bella?” his heavy authoritative voice.
