Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ANNABELLA’S POV

I didn’t know what was happening to me as I was practically avoiding everyone including Madeline. I didn’t know what I was running away from but it felt like I was running from something even though I wasn’t ready to admit it.

I thought being alone from everyone else and everything especially Roman would help me think straight and figure things out but obviously, that was messing up with my head. The huge room was the only place I could be without seeing his face yet a part of me was craving to see him though I couldn’t doubt seeing him would make me any bad.

It has been more than a day since I stepped out into the open or came across him. I guess he was too busy with her to even care or notice my absence. After all, I was just someone he bought with money. I was nothing more than a baby-making machine for him. The image of him telling me I was free from the agreement reflected the one when I saw the sheet in the bin and my entire demeanor changed.

He was setting me free because of her. As much as I hated to admit, he did that for her, he canceled his agreement with my father because of her.

The little thought of her makes me feel angry but I couldn’t say the same with Roman. I may have decided to stay away from him but that was not what I wanted.

I wrapped my hand around my shoulders as I felt the emptiness that was running through me while I stared up at the bright stars and wondered if there was ever a place for me in this world.

I was wolf-less and rejected a rejected female. Who would want me? My heart squeezed in my chest as I thought about it.

I sighed and shifted my gaze to the side. It was a cold night and the sky was a beautiful one. Quite and clear and I hoped my heart would also find the same peace.

My stomach growled for the fourth time and I stared at the screen of my iPhone 15 Pro Max. It was two in the morning, such a late hour. Who asked up at this time for food? Well, I didn’t want this to be a habit but it was becoming one.

When I couldn’t take it anymore I left the room to the kitchen to find the freezer empty. Madeline never keeps leftovers, she carries them and distributes them to the pack members, most at times he gives them out as takeout to the warriors.” Well, it seems I have to prepare something for myself” I sighed glaring around the kitchen. I wasn’t sure what to do but clearly, I couldn’t wait for the clock to kick six.

She might be tired of my constant change of mood. I have been in that room for days without speaking to her or responding to her because of the little disappointment I felt towards Roman. Why was I angry with him in the first place?

Thanks to Madeline I was now an expert in running the burner. I wasn’t all rose and juicy. I bet I have a lot to learn because I doubt I could make anything close to Madeline’s cooking.

Madeline was an expert, I love all her cooking very much. I poured oil into the pan before starting to chop the veggies using the chopping board. I was midway done when I felt a sharp pain shoot through my fingers. I hissed immediately and let go of the knife.

” Fuck!” I raised my head hearing the cursed word and the familiar voice.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me to sit beside the dining table. The look in his eyes made my heart flutter. Did he care about me? No one has ever looked at me like this. It was mostly pity or anger, but Madeline, it was different with him. I could feel my heart shaking in my pathetic chest. My eyes stuck to his face as he knelt in front of me and took my injured hand. I was surprised to see him in that position.

My eyes widened as I watched him put my bloody finger in his mouth. My heart beat raised to a hundred as I stared at him with wide eyes as he licked my wounded finger.

What was he doing?

My whole body froze as the spark that shot right through my veins. I could feel the wetness in between my thighs, my face was undoubtedly red from embarrassment, and there was no argument that he could smell me.

” You….” I couldn’t find my voice. I seemed to be struggling with the fact that the almighty alpha Roman was kneeling in front of me. His eyes have changed from dark blue to black and I knew better than to keep looking at him even though I didn’t want to look away.

” Look at me” he lifted my chin and I didn’t have a choice other than to do as he said. His voice wasn’t something I could disobey. Cold, deep, and very alluring, I could feel my inside twist at the sound of it

It gives me goosebumps just like his touch releases tingles and makes me wet.

” Fuck! Don’t move” He got on his feet and like a flash he was out of sight. He has vanished into the smoke-filled kitchen. Did I forget to put off the burner?

A loud cough broke out of my throat and suddenly I felt his cold hand on my shoulder. ” Are you okay?” His deep concerned voice reached my ears and I felt like I was in my safe place. My eyes met his and I couldn’t look away from him. He was so pleasing to the eyes and good-looking but very intimidating in every sense.

” You hungry?” he wasn’t asking. I immediately looked away with a flashed face. I didn’t know why I was so embarrassed to admit it.

” I will take care of it,” he said immediately as if sending my hesitation.

” No need” I stepped away from him and I could see the hurt that flashed in his blue eyes. ” I will go to bed now.” I turned and took the stairs to my room feeling his burning gaze at my back skin.

I let out a long breath that I didn’t know I was holding in with my back leaning against the door frame. What was wrong with me?

Why did I run away and reject his offer when I was this hungry?NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

My stomach growled for the hundredth time, clearing and emphasizing my hunger. I didn’t know if it was a good idea to sleep but I doubt I have a choice.
