Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ANNABELLA’S POV

He ditched me right in front of her and after waiting for him for hours he let Vincent drive me back. I stepped into the quiet clean kitchen and pulled the freezer open for a bottle of water.

I wasn’t in the best mood, last night’s incident was a huge blow to my chest. And where was Madeline?

I walked back from the kitchen to the dinner table.

I took a sip of the water before dropping it on the table. I wasn’t feeling great but the best thing was I was poking my lungs out. I was a bit okay on that part and I think I would be after a few rest. I just wasn’t prepared to be shoved away like that but I guess that was my fate.

That was how it has been from the onset since I could remember.

Everyone was eventually going to get tired of me and leave me. What better fate awaits a wolf-less and rejected she-wolf like me?

” I guess it’s harder this time” I took another sip before slamming it on the table and getting up to leave only to hear the door click open. ” Madeline?” She was holding a bag of groceries. ” You look terrible, dear. What happened to you last night?” She dropped the bag on the table and reached my side in a flash but what I didn’t get was why she was getting other groceries when there was enough to feed us for a month. ” I’m fine” I blurted out and she stared strongly at me. I was sure my eyes were nothing less than puffy. She might have gotten scared by my new appearance, I guess. “No, you are not” She shook her head before creasing the side of my hair. ” I know you are not fine, dear. Your eyes speak of your pain and I know anger when I see one” With this she disappeared into the kitchen.

I knew convincing was going to be hard but I was glad she didn’t ask why.

I ran up the stairs to my room and locked the door. I wanted to be alone but not sure how long. I didn’t know what was happening to me, I was confused as hell, not like I could recognize myself in front of the mirror.

I didn’t know why I was reacting this way but I think I should stay away from him first and maybe think of my next move.

After a long morning shower, r I wrapped myself in a white off-shoulder dress and headed to the balcony with my hair still wet from the shower.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Just like I thought, the fresh air was what I needed and I found myself breathing again. I could feel the air running down my lungs and it gave me peace at the same time. The emptiness wasn’t going away but it was hard to remain in my miserable state. Just when I thought I was getting better in my mood I saw him and her walking down the building from the forest, he looked composed unlike her, she had a few sticks in her hair, guess the morning ran messed up her pretty hair.

I couldn’t help but admire how good they look together. She was a perfect match to him if not the best.

She has the perfect body shape that everyone would want to have, a nice cute brown short hair, r and maybe a great and elegant lifestyle.

The bandages were no more which means she was better already. Maybe she shifted, shifting helps restore a breaking bone and quickens one’s healing process.

I didn’t realize I was frowning until I felt a hand on my shoulder. ” Get a hold of yourself, dear” I bit on my bottom lips as I tried to shove away my jealousy. It was weird how I get jealous easily, it still didn’t make sense but I guess there was no point admitting it because I couldn’t even recognize myself anymore. ” It’s best to trust what you feel inside” Madeline always makes sense and I wish I could always listen to her instead of my heart. ” Don’t let what you see get to you. You shouldn’t doubt what he feels for you” I frowned a bit and turned to stare at her. “What a you talking about?” I get her something but most times she speaks in circles just like now. What could he possibly feel for me?

” Your heart has the keys, your breakfast is served” I heard the door closed telling Madeline was gone. I sighed and turned back only to bump into his gaze. He was staring at me from that insane distance and the weird part was I could see the cold look in his dark blue eyes which was hard to interpret.

My heart started beating nervously in my chest and I bit hard on my lips as he started walking away with her beside him. I blinked my tears back and turned to go have my breakfast.

By the time I reached downstairs, my mood was ruined. I was in a different shape even though I didn’t show how broken I was. They went on a run together and I couldn’t stomach it. The bitter taste of what I saw didn’t seem to leave my tongue for whatever reason.

I snapped toward the door when I heard the click. I halted in my steps waiting for whoever was coming in even though I knew who.

Instead of feeling relieved, a part of me was frowning and that was because he had her scent on him.

” Come on, your food is getting cold. ” Madeline dropped the water jar in the middle of the table and I started chewing the inside of my lip. ” I made your favorite ” I finally stared away from him and turned to head back into the room. ” Dear, your….”

” I’m not hungry” I was surprised at my voice but I didn’t have the time to analyze it. I was upset and that didn’t make sense.

I slammed the door behind me and headed straight to bed to cry myself to sleep. I couldn’t believe I was being like this, it still didn’t make sense to me.

Who was Alphaa Roman and why did he have such an effect on me? It would have made sense if we had a thing and more sense if we were fated mates.

It was crazier than I thought.

I was confused and surprised at my feelings. Last night, I couldn’t believe how broken I felt when I found out he hadn’t me back. It was like my heart was pierced with a sharp digger, I spent hours crying over nothing and thinking over stupid stuff like a maniac. I couldn’t believe how pathetic I was last night and now.

” Open the door, dear. He is gone” I flipped my eyes open when I heard the last part of her words. ” I have warmed your food ” she added and I cleaned the tears on my face.

” Don’t keep long in there” I heard her footsteps fading and curled myself on the huge bed, a soft sob leaving my mouth. I wasn’t sure I wanted him to leave but I guess it was best this way.

I wasn’t sure what was coming over me. A few days ago I was in no mood to see him but now I get upset when I see him with someone else. I get frustrated when I don’t see him and worse, I get more confused when he appears before me.

What the hell was coming over me?

Was I attracted to him, alpha Roman?
