ALPHA ROMAN’S POV
“You are going to keep me as your second woman?” I frowned and she bit on her bottom lip, something she does out of habit. Did she say that to keep her as my other woman? Does this have to do with the reason she has been avoiding me and warming up to my fucking warriors?
Fuck Bella!
Did she mean that? ” Yyou already have a…” A knock on the glass distracted us and when I stared at my side I noticed the royal guards who immediately bowed their heads.” Sign them when you are ready” I stepped from the car and adjusted my jacket expecting her to do the same. ” Alpha….” I walked by the guard towards the building. ‘ I get angry when you stare at others like that ‘ I spoke in the mindlink and she immediately turned her head, probably shocked that I could link her. I made her a part of my pack without asking her which I knew wasn’t far enough but I wasn’t ready to let her go no matter what.
” Alpha Roman?” I knew my present was the last thing he needed; neither did I want to show up here, especially with the old faces still lingering around. ” You are welcome to this year’s prime ball. ” he smiled but I didn’t blink. I knew better than to be comfortable with him. He didn’t like me and I didn’t like him. Edward was no different from his alpha, just another puppet of the alpha king. ” Who is this beauty?” His eyes shifted to Bella who was standing beside me and a growl slipped out of my throat. ” You are welcome once again, we are pleased to have you around”
” You will see your room once you head towards the hallway” I grabbed the card from him and started walking.
The royal pack was still the same as years back with the same fucking crazy beta. The last time I was here, I was barely fifteen and barely free.
I pushed the door open once we were at the white door. ” Here” she held the sheet in my face and I raised a brow. Has she thought about it? ” I don’t want to be your other woman. I don’t know but losing you I’d be better than sharing,” she said and dropped the sheet on the floor before running out to god knew where.
I watched as the door slammed on my face. What did I fucking do this time?
ANNABELLA’S POV
I didn’t know why I did that but I hoped I made the right decision by turning down his offer. I lied that it was better to lose him than share, I lied and I wished I didn’t say that to his face. I wished I hadn’t said the words I said to him.
Aside from my stupid feelings for him, he has been super good to me, he has given me everything I ever needed. A pack and most of all my freedom which of course I didn’t want. ” Why did I do that?” I stopped to take a breath under a lonely tree that sits at the far end of the house appointed to us. It was my first time in this pack but it felt as if I had been here before. The strange vibe forced me to look around.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
” You are crying for the wrong reason” I turned back as I heard the voice behind me. I wiped my tears and stepped back ” You are crying for the wrong reason, child” she started walking towards me. ” Sometimes what the eye sees is not the truth, ” she stopped in front of me. She sounded weird.
Old age, long black hair but nothing like that of Madeline. She was a bit cold and a bit strange. ” You are in love with the demon prince” she sniffed me like an animal before taking a step back. ” The fate of a demon is bound to yours.”
” He is ….”
” Bella” Roman’s voice made me turn back. He was a few feet away from me. ” What are you doing here?” He stepped closer and I parted my lips while pointing my finger behind me. ” She was saying ..” I stopped when I turned and realized she wasn’t there. Gone like she was never there.
” She was right here,” I told him but he didn’t say anything, he just stared at me with his cold blue eyes making me feel like a fool. ” It’s okay if you don’t believe me” I wanted to walk away when he grabbed my hand and turned me around so that I was looking back into his eyes. ” You….”
” I didn’t say anything ” he pulled me closer, his hands resting on my waist.
” What did you mean by another woman?” I bit on my lip and stared away. Didn’t he get me when I said that? Was he going to play dumb with me now and pretend as if he didn’t have a mate?
” Huh,..”
” What a present surprise ” we were interrupted by the sudden voice but Roman didn’t let go of me. ” I didn’t believe it when beta Edward told me you were here” he was the alpha king!
Alpha Abraham!
” You are welcome once again” The smile on his face broadened when he noticed me in his arms. At that moment I wished the ground would open and swallow me. ” This beauty is the unlucky one,” he said and I heard a cute chuckle from Roman which caused my stomach to overflow with butterflies and my heart jumped in my chest. ” What do you want Abraham, I know I’m not your only guest.” He addressed him by his first name, something not many people did. Was it true that the alpha king was afraid of Romans?
” I came to personally invite you for dinner. Having you here is an honor and I can see you didn’t come alone as I would expect,” he said and Roman stared down at me as if seeking my permission.
” We both know the lady won’t say no,” Alpha Abraham said and I stared down biting my lip.
