Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ANASTASIA

” Bella..” Madeline’s voice came through the door and I parted my lips to breathe in air. I couldn’t bring myself to stop wondering about who this Carolina was. A part of me was eager to find out who she was but I was scared, I frowned my brow as I thought about who she could possibly be. What if she was his mate or his ex who wanted him back? ” I will be out in a minute.” I said as I turned away from the window.

I didn’t know why I was so upset but I wish I could just lift this heaviness from my chest.” I can bring you something while waiting for the alpha.” She said and I turned back to look at the door.” He asked me to set the table.” I raised a brow with a little bit of relief.

” I’m coming with you” I said and suddenly my phone started ringing.

” Hello” it was an unknown number. ” Anna.” I frowned when I heard the familiar voice. ” Hold on a little longer, I will come for you.” My head turned to look at Madeline who was standing at the door.” Sorry.” I hung up before slipping the phone in my pocket.

” Are you okay?” She asked and I nodded. ” Yes.” I didn’t know what Summer was trying to do. Why was he suddenly trying to set things right, was he even trying to?

” I trust alpha Roman, he will never do something to hurt you.” Madeline’s voice followed me as I stepped out of the kitchen with a glass jar.

Well, I don’t know about that yet. I sighed. I was confused and worried. Summer and my father sudden care.

I blush it off everything that had to do with Summer or my father which wasn’t hard to.

I couldn’t deny the discomfort and the curiosity lingering in my throat. I dropped the glass jar which has water in it on the table and strode back to the kitchen.” Who is Carolina?” I asked Madeline as my curiosity pulled up from my throat to my face but the look on her face told me she didn’t know either. ” I can’t tell for a fact unless I see her.” She said casually and I bit on my lips .

I knew I was intruding too much but I couldn’t help it.” You don’t have to worry about anything. Alpha Roman will be here to have lunch with you.” She assured me, my heart was suddenly clouded with uncertainty. Will he really come?

I didn’t know the answer. I knew Roman doesn’t smile at anyone but what if she was different?

What if she was someone important to him? I swallowed, my face turned pale.

” You know you don’t have to help me?” She was right but I was better off doing something other than being in the room with countless thoughts flipping through my head.” I want to help.” I said taking the two glasses to the table.

Well, maybe I was overthinking it. I didn’t know what I was expecting but at least he wasn’t spending the entire afternoon out with that Carolina, I guess. ” You should rest, I will call you once he is back.” I nodded.

I didn’t know what time it was but I had a feeling I had missed lunch with Roman. I rushed out of the room in a hurry only to find Madeline cleaning the table.” Why didn’t you wake up?” I couldn’t believe I fell asleep waiting for him. ” Come and sit, I will serve you something.” She said and I sighed. I was really late and no one bothered to wake me up.

I stepped down the stairs and took a seat by the dinner table, running my hands through my hair. I didn’t know why I fell asleep in the first place. ” Don’t upset yourself, alpha Roman didn’t come back.” Madeline placed a plate in front of me and I frowned. But he promised to be back for lunch? I stared at the clock on the wall and it was 4pm.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

” He didn’t?” I whispered looking at the plate of food before me, I pushed my hair back with a cold expression. ” I think he is in the pack with a guest he came with.” She left a glass of water beside my plate, his voice unsure but still took it. ” What do you mean?” I wasn’t sure what she meant.

” If he is in the pack then where is he?” I asked. ” Eat first then you can go see him, it’s your right.” She smiled at me before walking back to the kitchen. I was already used to her weird comments and I wouldn’t ask too many questions but I felt she wasn’t telling me something.

I finished my food in no time and Madeline didn’t have a choice but tell me where Roman could possibly be.

She mentioned the hospital which I was a bit curious to know what he would be doing there but I thought I should check his office first but guess what, he was there.

I was lucky to bump into Zachery right after I stepped out of his office and offered to take me to him. He was a great company although he was a bit reserved. ” Gamma Zachary.” A warrior I didn’t recognized approached us as we walked a bit further away from the main pack building.” Is everything okay?” Zackery asked, his calm soft features turning cold all of the sudden, the warrior shifted his dark brown eyes to me as if asking me to excuse them.

A growl left Zackery’s lips and the warrior focused his attention on him.” There is a problem at the club house.” He said and I could sense Zachary’s demeanor changing completely. ” Two dead bodies were discovered in front of the club house.” he reported and I frowned.

Dead what?

” Both of them are humans.” He added and I held onto his sleeve.” I’m sorry but I have to handle this.” He said in a polite tone despite his cold expression.” What about I come with you?” I asked, Zachary narrowed his eyes as he turned his face to me.” Alpha Roman is clearly not going to like that.” He said and I licked the corner of my lip. Well, Roman didn’t care that much about me so I guess I could do whatever I want.

” He doesn’t own me.” I said and Zachary shook his head.” I hope I’m not making a bad decision.” He started towards the black car that was packed at the side. ” Get in the back, Zion. I’m driving” he grabbed the keys from him and I jumped into the front seat.

” Is the pack under an attack?” I couldn’t help but ask.

What did he mean by two dead bodies and both were humans? ” It’s hard to tell but no one will dare try that on the turners pack.” He said and I couldn’t agree less with him.

Turners pack was really feared by most alphas because of who they have as an alpha. Roman was the most feared alpha of our world, his reputation was quite scary and hard to make him look normal.

He was named as the beast alpha for reasons I couldn’t comprehend. He wasn’t as bad as they say though.

He was right no one in their right sense would attack a pack like the turners pack.

” Is it serious?”

” It could be.” I didn’t understand his words but I could read the seriousness of the matter per his demeanor which wasn’t exactly much.

” Fuck!” He cursed as a black Mercedes Benz crossed us, Zachary immediately stepped on the brake and the car came to a sudden stop. ” What is going on….” my mouth hanger opened when I saw Roman dropped out of the car with a cold look on his face. I pushed my hair from my face as if I didn’t want to believe what I was seeing.

I turned my head to stare at Zachery who didn’t look a bit affected but I knew he was regretting his decision. ” Did Madeline tell him I was going to look for him?” I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest. ” How did he know I was here?” As if I was talking to someone.” He can smell his mark.” Zachery whispered back and I narrowed my eyes.

” His what?”

” Get down” his cold voice Interrupted, the nonchalant look in his face didn’t give me the opportunity to disobey him.

” I’m sorry, alpha.” I heard Zachery say but Roman’s growl cut him off. Was he mad at him too because of course I knew he was with me?

” Are we going back to the packhouse?” I said in the midst of the awkward silence. Zachery and Zion drove off the moment I stepped out. ” Where did you want to go?” his voice was cold and nonchalant.” You were coming to me?” I knew Madeline might have said something to him. ” I was..”

” Then what happened? What the fuck are you doing in the car with my gamma?” My heart skipped a beat as the car suddenly pulled over.

” Are you going to talk or I should make you?” What was he pissed about?

I was just keeping myself busy and he has a problem with that? ” I didn’t do anything wrong.” I protested, avoiding his gaze.

“You think you didn’t?” He growled and I frowned.” Don’t you think you are overreacting?”

” You think so?” he narrowed his eyes with a nonchalant expression in his cold blue eyes. I didn’t know what he was dragging at but he didn’t have the right or whatever to question me or make me look inferior.

” If you really have a problem with me finding company, maybe you shouldn’t have dumped me for Carolina.” I lashed out with no regrets.

” Put on your seat belt.” I was surprised by his nonchalant reaction. He didn’t even bother to defend himself, what did I think?

Of course I was just a contract that was supposed to last for only years. I pulled back the tear that was about to stream down my face.

That was it, he didn’t even look at me the entire drive s. f I didn’t ask him anything. I was hurt, I got betrayed and the sudden pain I felt when Summer left me for Olivia returned.

I breathed out trying to release the heat that was lingering in my chest. The squeeze, the pain, all returned and I didn’t know how long I would be able to hold my tears in.
