ALPHA ROMAN’S POV
” Bella?” what the fuck? I raised up to stand straight and I found her unconscious in my arms. Her eyes were shut and her breath was slow. I felt my heart turn cold seeing her like that. My whole body froze for a few seconds before coming to my senses. Did I fucking claim her?” Bella, stay with me” I rushed out of the garden with her in my arms, I headed towards the room that was assigned to us.’ What did you do that for?’ Xade growled in my head, I lost my fucking control. I didn’t know how but I couldn’t stop my fangs from biting into her skin especially with the scent of her arousal lingering strongly in the air.
I didn’t know what happened to her or why I suddenly lost control of myself and marked her upon all places. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, I wanted her to fucking know me as her mate before I take any of these steps but I fucking did before she even found out.
I screwed up. Bella…..
” Should I get a doctor?” Vincent appeared in front of me in a flas, I didn’t even catch his scent.
I kicked the door open and rushed her inside. ” Bella” I lowered her gently on the bed before grabbing her hand in mine.
She was cold and pale. What the hell was happening to her? I could feel the fear billing in my heart. Annabella was the one thing I wouldn’t let go even if I had to die for it.’ Why isn’t the doctor here yet?’ Xade’s impatient voice resounded in my head and a sudden knock came on the door. ” Alpha Roman” It was Abraham and his fucking beta.” I heard what happened, the doctor is on his way.” He expressed concerns which I wouldn’t think much about. Abraham was the last person I would trust in this life but I would make do with his pack doctor for now.” She is here.” I turned my gaze and there was a woman dressed in black, her scent was a bit different but it was not the time to access her smell. Her face was also covered with a fucking veil, making me stare up at Abraham who immediately understood my demands.
She didn’t look like someone I could trust in fact, no one from the royal pack could be trusted but Bella needs help so I better get every thought out of my head. ” Show your face to Alpha Roman, Lenah.” Abraham ordered and she pulled back the veil. Her eyes stared directly into mine before they stared down in submission.
Hesitantly, I stepped aside for her to step in. With my back against the wall, my hawk-like eyes stared at every move she made. I didn’t trust her and it had a lot to do with her connection with Abraham, the alpha king. It may seem like he was doing me a fucking favor but knowing the kind of person Abraham was I knew better than to lean on him.
” She…” she stood straight after checking her and stared my way with her head down.” She will be fine.” I frowned at her words but felt relieved.” Her body couldn’t take the heat of your mark.” She explained and my gaze went to her pale face. I still couldn’t figure out why I suddenly lost control. I have tried my best to put my emotions in check for the past few months because I wanted her to identify with me herself.” She should be up in a few hours. Her body seemed weak and I will advise you to stay with her.” She said, her voice soft and calm. ” Darkness is close by, she will need you to stay safe and alive.” she said and turned towards the door.
” With you, she will be fine.” She turned to me before opening the door.
What the fuck did she mean by darkness was close by?
” I’m glad she is fine.” I didn’t realize Abraham was still waiting at the door. ” Allow me invite you for breakfast.” He strode in, shutting the door behind him.” There’s no need, we will be leaving soon.” I said and started towards her on the bed.” You are welcome to stay till she gets better.” He offered knowing fully well how suspicious his offer was. ” You don’t have to worry about anything, my pack and I will make sure…..”
” No!” I said in a stern tone, my cold eyes looking back at him. ” Roman..” the door pushed open and Vincent’s scents rushed in. ” My pack and I are sorry for what happened to her. We wish her a speedy recovery.” He turned around and shut the door behind him. I sighed, running my fingers through my hair. Was I overreacting?
” What is going to happen now?” Vincent asked, I knew he didn’t approve of my bond with Bella because she has no wolf but he has every reason in the world to respect my decision. She was my fated mate, rejecting her would not erase her mark from my life.” I marked her.”
” Holy shit!” He exclaimed and I shut my eyes. I didn’t know how it happened but it did. I have claimed her and there would never be a turning back.” Did you?”
” Get the car ready, we will be leaving in a few minutes.” I instructed. ” The ball is ongoing.” He said and my gaze landed on the clock against the wall. It was almost three in the morning and we needed to leave before daybreaks. ” It will be rude to leave now.” Vincent expressed his concerns but I didn’t fucking care.
Royal pack was the least safe place for her, I didn’t know why her scent was growling stronger but I had to get her out of here. ” Inform the pack about our return.” I said turning up on the bed and Vincent sighed. ” You really won’t think twice of burning the world for her, right?” I didn’t reply because he already knew the answer. She deserves everything I would do for her and if burning the world for her ever becomes necessary then so be it!
It would be rude to leave before the ball comes to an end, not like Abraham wanted me here in the first place. He didn’t like me and I didn’t like him. The only reason I attended the prime ball was because of my pending alliance with the alpha of the blood moon pack and also to give her a change of environment.
” I know you and alpha Abraham have personal grudges and will never see eye to eye but don’t you think leaving will turn the other alphas against you?”
I bent and moved a strand of hair from her face.” There is no other alphas, beta Vincent.” moon pack have not had any alliance under my fucking reign and I wasn’t in a rush to change that. ” What about the blood moon pack? Their offer is good and we need them to side with us. What will happen if one day they decide to attack us?”
I frowned.” Send words to alpha Thomas. If he still want this alliance hr will know what to do.” I said with finality. I wasn’t discussing anything else with him.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
