Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ANNABELLA’S POV

My eyes opened slowly and I felt a familiar sense. Everything gradually became clearer as my eyes fully opened, I felt the soft mattress beneath me. The familiar room suddenly became evident and my head turned slowly to the left where I noticed the opened curtains.” Roman ” I sat up when the realization hit me. ” You are awake?” my gaze moved to the door and Madeline strode in with a smile on her face. In her hand was a tray which I presumed was food, my gaze turned to the class clock on the wall and it was five in the morning.” You have been out all night. Only the goddess knows how hard it has been for him.” She left the tray on the bed beside me.” What do you mean?” I narrowed my eyes as she continued by pouring hot water in the cup.” He didn’t say it but I knew he was worried about you.” She stared at me with a smile.

Something felt different about me, for example I could sense her natural sense which was impossible with my animal side. How weird!

” He looked after you all night.” She added and I parted lips, not sure what to say. I just stared at her as she walked into the bathroom and came out after a few seconds with a mobbing stick and a sweeping brush.” I have never seen him like that.” She started by pouring the cleaning detergent in the bucket of water and the sweet blur scent didn’t skip me.

I was like a whole different person and I didn’t get how I could feel like this in just a few minutes.” Like what?” I asked curiously as I watched her start the cleaning from the corner. ” So worried” I bit on my bottom lip and stared down. Was he worried about me?

” What really happened to me?” I didn’t know how much I remember but my brain was all messed up.’ You don’t remember how you fell unconscious in his arms?’

” Unconscious in his arms?” I sneered. ” Maybe you are right, he brought you back here unconscious, ” Madeline shrugged.

‘You should remember how he licked your neck.’

” What?” My face flushed red with wide eyes. ” Are you okay?” Madeline asked and I didn’t know what to say.

Did she really not say those words right now? I didn’t know how much I hit my head but I certainly wasn’t feeling well. ” You should rest a little more.” She carried the backet and entered the bathroom.’ I don’t think you will remember anything.’ I stared back abruptly at the sound of the voice but it seems I was the only one in the room. A sigh left my mouth. What was wrong with me? I pushed my long black hair back from my face. What was coming over me, I ran my fingers in my hair and stepped down from the bed in my short red night dress. I wondered who put the dress on me. Did he do it himself? ‘ Of course, who else did you expect to do it?’ I stared back startled, as the voice reached my ears again.

My body tensed as a sudden frown gathered in my eyes, I froze in my place beside the window with my heart beating in my chest.” Who is there?” I stood there for what felt like an hour as if expecting something. Anything.

The room was as quiet as it should be and the air was spotless except for the mixed smell of the detergent Madeline used in cleaning and Roman’s strong scent that I doubt was possible to get rid of after all, it was his room.

And yes, her scent was also lingering but it was faint.

” Goddess, Bella.” I sighed, how on earth did I allow such thoughts to settle in my head. I shut my eyes to calm myself in the best way I could.

I didn’t know what was coming over me. I didn’t know if I was imagining it but it felt weird thinking about it.

I opened my eyes and pushed the window so I could step into the balcony. ” Your breakfast will get cold if you don’t get down on it.” Madeline’s voice peeked through the bathroom door and I shut my eyes to let the cold breeze wash over my face. It was still early for the sun to rise, the cold air was relaxing.

” You need to be okay for his sake and yours.” She spoke again and I flipped my gaze.

My eyes narrowed with a scrawl as I noticed him standing at the parking space with Vincent, his beta. As I was wondering what he was doing out there early, I suddenly started to memorize what happened and my hand went to my neck. I recalled him kissing my neck that night but the sharp pain?

I frowned when I saw a woman drop out of a white expensive car that just stopped at the parking lot.

” Who is that?” Vincent shook hands with her before she turned towards Roman with a smile. ” Are you sure he stayed with me all night?” I asked and the bathroom door opened.” He did and that was because he was worried about you.” Madeline’s voice dropped in and I turned to look at her with my hand folded across my chest, feeling cold all of the sudden. ” Why do you look like that? He only left because he has something important to take care of.” she added and I frowned, turning to stare down at him. I could see he really had something important to do other than sit here and babysit an eighteen year old girl. I didn’t know why but I felt angered and sad at the same time.

What kind of meeting involved him meeting with that woman?

I didn’t know her but I hated the way she was smiling at him. ” I don’t know what is going on but I do know you don’t have to stand here and worry your pretty head. ” I didn’t notice her coming over. ” Just eat your breakfast and go to him if you have any doubt”

” I don’t care” I slipped away and went to bed. I picked the fork and began eating, I didn’t feel hungry like I was anymore. I guess I lost my appetite but who cares about appetite.

I stuffed the food in my mouth without a care. Maybe I should get a shower and rest my pretty head before I start imagining things again.” Come on Bella, you shouldn’t get angry over such minor things. Tell him if you can’t endure him being around other females, you have the right to.” I stopped chewing my food and stared up at her. ” You think I have the right?” Did she really mean right?

What right did I ever have aside being the woman in his contract? I was never supposed to get jealous of him being with anyone because I have no such right. No reasons, nothing!

” Can I hang you?” I requested in a small tone before climbing down the bed to get wrapped up in her embrace. Will I ever be anything more than a contract asserted to him?” I wish it was easy” I murmured, feeling hot tears in my eyes. Why was it so hard to take it in and to see him with someone else? First it was Selena Sandra and now! ” Get enough rest, you will feel better.” I nodded before walking back to the bed like an obedient child.

Madeline grabbed the tray and left, closing the door behind her.

I slept for a few more minutes after Madeline left and I felt strong again.

I grabbed a quick shower and decided to go get lunch. Of course, I was hungry but that was until I went down to meet Roman. He really has perfect timing! ” Bella, I was about to come get you.” Madeline’s voice stopped me from turning and walking back to my room. ” Why?” I raised a brow, trying to avoid his gaze even though I could feel his eyes burning on me. I didn’t miss Madeline staring his way, I rolled my eyes.” I think Alpha Roman will tell you.” I couldn’t stop myself from staring his way, he was good looking, too perfect and perfectly made to be perfect. His dark sexy cold blue eyes, his white hair that speaks more of his devilish nature. Why was I attracted to him instead of fearing him or probably hating him?

Come to think of it, I have every damn reason to hate him but I couldn’t. What was going on with me? It was not as if I deserved him or something.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

I was wolf-less and most of all a rejected mate.” What are you thinking?” His deep voice startled me, causing me to lose my balance. I didn’t catch him approaching, hence his action caught me off guard. “None of your business.” I said before I could put my anger in check.” Why do I feel you are angry with me?” I slipped out of his grip immediately. “Are you going to tell me why you are acting up all of the sudden?” he stepped towards me and I moved back. Did he just say all of the acting up?

I bit on my lips to suppress the words that were about to fall off my tongue.” Let it out, Bella” he grabbed my waist and pulled me to him, his cold eyes staring at me, giving me goosebumps suddenly spread on my skin, the sound of his voice shook my inside and his touch made me defenseless. ” Do you enjoy getting angry at me?” He asked and I narrowed my eyes. What did I even do now? He was the one flirting!

” Aren’t you going to say anything?” His voice was soft, low and pleading. His eyes seemed to be steering my emotions. Every little thing from him affects me including his voice. ” Last night…”

” What, should I tell you how much you enjoy attention from other women?!” ohoh, that didn’t come out well. Was I supposed to say that to his face?

Great
