Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ALPHA ROMAN’S POV

” I have been in the building for hours but I’m yet to see her” Madeline’s concerned voice sounded in the room which wasn’t something I didn’t know. ” She would, ” I said to her without looking up from the file in front of me. I have come to understand certain things without knowing how they really work.

First I found out she was my mate and second she was fated to another, what the fuck? I leaned back in my seat and sucked in air. Each time I thought about her having a mate makes me breathless. It inked me and just by thinking of it makes me pretty angry.

” I don’t think you understand, it has been two days since I arrived but she hasn’t shown herself to me. When do you think she will come out of that room?” She asked calmly and I stared up at her with a frown.

I stepped down from my seat and headed towards the door. ” Calm down, you can’t win her over like this” Madeline said all of the sudden. ” I can see how important she is to you, you don’t have to say anything. You two might have met on the wrong path but remember fate works mysteriously” I guess fate works mysteriously indeed otherwise why would I be blessed with another man’s mate?

This was more of a punishment than a blessing? I guess having a demon blood change the whole fucking equation. Her anger towards me didn’t have to be this hurtful towards her health. She could hate her but why was she punishing herself?

As I stepped into the living room I noticed how faint her smell was and that was probably because she hasn’t come down for two fucking days?

I didn’t know how that felt but I was obviously not happy with the situation. Her problem was with me so why was she putting herself in harm’s way? My head snapped up immediately when I heard a sound coming from upstairs. The door behind me pushed opened and Madeline walked in ” I will serve the table”

Her present wasn’t the best but I didn’t have a choice since she was proving stubborn. Madeline was like a mother to me even though she wasn’t a shifter, she was the only one who understands my cold silence nature. The one person from her clan that speaks to me without fear maybe because we share more than physical bond.

I watched her as she walked down the stairs with a pale face. My chest tightened just staring at her, was it her way of punishing me or rejecting me?

She raised her eyes and met my gaze and at that instant she missed a step and tripped but before she could hit the floor I reached her side in a flashed. My hand went behind her and pulled her to myself. The surprise in her eyes made me want to kiss the living hell out of her. Her beautiful doll brown eyes stared wide at me with her charty lips parted slightly as if wanting to say something. Her heart was drumming in her chest and I could help but get worried. ” Are you okay?” I wasn’t certain if I have asked the right question but I guess she wasn’t.

She took two steps back and I felt a wave of emptiness within me. ” Are you hurt?” my gaze wandered around her with so much fear in my heart. ” Madeline will make something for you” I told her, trying my best to not sound commanding as I stepped forward. I grabbed her hand and the smell of her arousal hit me, changing the look and the color of my eyes. My dick twisted in my pant and suddenly she pulled her hand out of my grip. ” I don’t want to eat anything” she said in a clear tone and sighed to regsin my my composure. She was fucking stubborn and a hand full.

I grabbing her hand just when shebwas about you walk back upstairs.” You don’t get to do what you want” I raised a brow waiting to hear her protest. I didn’t know why I was so patient with her and letting her mess with me like she was doing.” I will make you if I have to” I said in a stern cold voice, my nonchalant face staring at hers as I let go of her hand but she trembled on her feet making me wrap my palm around her shoulders.” Are you going to force me to eat just like you did to bring me here?” She spoke in a disappointed tone as tears streamed down her. I knew finding out everything wasn’t easy for her but I didn’t fucking forced her here!

I only laid down my conditions and her stupid father agreed to them with a blink. He needed the money and I needed a fucking mate to carry my seed!

” Don’t you understand that I don’t want to be here?!” She yelled and a frown covered my face.” I had a life before you ruined it” she said with sadness lingering in her eyes. ” I had a mate who loved me but . ”

” Stop!” I growled, loud enough to shake the building.

With rage burning in my eyes I stormed off from the building slamming the door behind me. I felt my heart shattered into pieces, my eyes burning in fury as I strode into the elevator but upon dipping my hands in my pocket I realized I didn’t give her the bank card I planned to give her.

I pulled the black card out of my pocket and squeezed it in my palm before stepping out of the elevator. I wouldn’t leave her lacking even if she hates me so much.

” Don’t do anything in a rush, life is better with strangers. Anyone can become a family” Madeline’s words reached my hearing and my steps halted. Only people with hearts can be called family” she said and my eyes shoot up in pain. As I get my heart beating coldly in my chest.

‘ Get Zackry for me ‘ I mindlinked Vincent. ‘ Zackry is with the patrol team, I can help if you need anything’ he said but I insisted he call me Zackry.

For the first time in my life I would have to accept defeat because I didn’t want to hurt more than I have.

I slammed the door to my office closed and punched on the wall with all my might. The feeling of rejection lingered in my chest preventing me from breathing. It was as if I had lost everything, her words, the pain I’m her eyes and the tears that I saw coming out of her eyes made my heart squeeze in my chest.

My heart couldn’t stand her tears or the sadness in her eyes which was why I wanted to do what I should have done at the very beginning.

” Roman” Zackry’s voice rang out and I turned to face him. He was the gamma of the Runners pack and the head of the security team. I there was anyone I could trust to this then that would be him. ” Drop her back in the shadow pack. Make sure she gets there safe and sound” I ordered turning away from him with my red eyes shut to calm my running emotions. The pain and the heartbreak was real, I was really heart broken.

It was no doubt I did it out of my sight or this pack but I couldn’t watch her with all the sadness in her eyes. I was scared she would do something to hurt herself considering she hated me. I sighed walking back to my desk.

It was a tough decision but I had to because the greater part of me couldn’t watch her suffer.

I was known for my cruelty and strong characteristics but today. I was known for a lot of evil stuff including killing my uncle and taking my entire family down in one night.

For the first time in years I have met someone who could soften my heart with her existence. I didn’t know why but I wanted her by my side, I wanted her more than I ever did want something. I have realized I wasn’t as strong as they perceived me to be when it comes to her.

” But….”

” Just do what you are fucking told” I cut him off in an instant with a low growl and the next minute I was left alone in my office.

Even though I have decided to let her go, somewhere in my heart I wished she wouldn’t leave me. I wished she wouldn’t leave me for that motherfucker. I didn’t want to believe she had a mate but I doubted what I believed matters because I was certain by now she was gone.

The mere thought of it left me shattered but I was used to taking everything in and not showing my emotions.

Hearing it from her makes it hard to ignore yet very impossible to believe. Vincent might have told me but I still didn’t want to fucking believe it.

My hand fisted in my pocket as I turned back to stare at the giant pack building through the window.” Will she really leave?” I whispered to myself with coldness in my eyes.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

What if she didn’t go?

I wanted to believe it but it was impossible. I saw how she looked at me, a huge part of her was scared of me while the other hated me.

” Roman ” I sighed hearing my name, I didn’t need to look to know who it was. ” She left, ” he said and I shut my eyes for a few seconds before pushing them back open. “Did you really want her to leave?” Vincent asked but I felt like he knew the answer already.

” Maybe you shouldn’t have been quick in making this decision ” he said and I turned away from the window. ” What do you mean by that?” I demanded and he sighed proving my suspicions right. He really was hiding something from me.

” He rejected her ” he said and a huge frown formed in my eyes. He what?

Why the fuck was I just hearing about it?

” Roman…”

I heard Vincent’s voice but I was already out of the office and heading to the packing space.
