Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ALPHA ROMAN’S POV

” I’m not ready” she whispered in panic, her lips trembling and her face a bit red. I could sense her fear and the nervousness dripping from her entire being. The side of my lips curled up as I realized what she meant. Did I make her think like that? yes, fuck, I wanted her but not when she hated me and didn’t have a fucking idea of who I was to her.

I stepped towards her, water running down from my white hair ” Roman…” I grabbed her waist before she could hit the bed. Her hand pressed on my chest and her gaze stuck on mine. She was fucking hot right now and there was nothing I wanted more than to kiss the hell out to f her.

I pulled her to her feet before I lost it. It was enough that the mate pull was fucking driving me crazy each time I saw or smelled her. The worse part was everything feels off when I didn’t see her for even a minute, I didn’t know which one was worse because clearly she has no idea I was her fucking mate.

Her arousal spread in the air and I had to force myself to step back from her as I dropped my hand from her waist. Her eyes dropped on the floor the minute I moved a foot back from her. It was killing, seeing your fucking mate and couldn’t touch her like you want. The whole thing was making me go crazy but I had to wait, she needed to find it out herself. She needs to know and feel the bond just like I did the first time we met, she has the right to. Everyone has that privilege and I wouldn’t do anything until that day comes.

I wasn’t sure how long I had to wait but she had a wolf somewhere inside, I could smell her. Her wolf was closed but I wasn’t certain how close she was and how long it would take for her to surface.” I just came to shower” I let her know as I dragged on to my closet to grab something to wear.

We had security issues at the borders and I had to make sure those bastards didn’t live to stop by next time. I picked a black pants and shoved my legs in before pulling it up my waist line after putting on a boxer shorts.

” Sorry” her voice was merely a whisper but I didn’t need her speak out loud before I hear.

I was a fucking werewolf and a damn alpha.” What?” I frowned. ” For calling you a beast” she looked away and I raised a brow. ” I did say it and I’m sorry for calling you that. It’s my bad, I let whatever bad stuff I heard about you get into my head” she whispered the last part and I wasn’t surprised but I was shocked she decided to apologize.

Actually, I wasn’t a good man. I turned my face towards her.

Yeah, I got a little on edge when I heard her call me a heartless beast but I didn’t blame her. I forced her into my life without her permission. And she had every reason to be mad at me.

She wasn’t the first person to call me that and would never be the last.

Before I killed my uncle he called me a fucking beast.

” I don’t expect you to forgive me or say anything. I just didn’t realize there was no other life for me except this, I was stupid to think he would miss me and…” she bit on her bottom lip with tears stuck in her eyes. I just wished I could take the pain she was feeling. But his rejection led to our bond!

” I don’t like to see you cry” I said more like an order and she stared up at my cold face with her lips parted and her eyes wide opened.

Seeing her cry changed my whole demeanor. It kills me to see her in pain ” Yeah, that’s why you let me go ” she smiled as tears tripped down her face. ” Here I was thinking you are the devil”

” You don’t have to say sorry to me” I held her hand and wiped her eyes with my thumb not paying, not attention to the fucking tangles that raced into my veins.” It’s fine with me as long as it makes you feel better” my thumb creased her soft cheek, my gaze staring into hers. She seemed tender, soft, innocent but very stubborn. A smile creased on my lips as I stared at her beautiful face and her innocent green eyes. In fact I should thank the bastard for leading her straight to me.

I never hoped for a mate because I wasn’t a pure breed. The demon blood always gives me a red light, before becoming an alpha I had to sacrifice the people I called family. Give up a lot to survive, I had to live by my bloodline, destroy as many as I could.” Thank you ” she said as she stared back at me with her wet round doll-like green eyes and I couldn’t control my urges as I pulled her to my bare chest.

I lowered my head and buried my nose in her hair. She smell fucking great!

My hand tightened around her waist not realizing my claws were pushing out. Her present seemed to be everything I ever needed. Her present was fucking making me feel alive for the first time in years. The last time I smiled was when my step sister held my hand in her little one.

” Thank you for making me stay here”

” I will always have your back” I meant to say this was her fucking home and where she should be.

‘ Roman ‘ my eyes shut opened as Vincent dragged my name in the mindlink. ‘ I will be checking in at the pack clinic ‘ he said and I frowned ‘ Don’t make me fucking tell you again that you are guardian the damn boarders tonight ‘ I growled in the mindlink.

‘ Zackry is already out patrolling, what do you think can go wrong?’ he insisted.

Zackry, my gamma was the best gamma you could call in. Aside from the game, he was my best warrior.

‘ Zackry is fucking taking care of his mother ‘ I growled and my princess pulled her head from my chest. ” Are you okay?” She seemed a bit worried but I didn’t answer her right away.” Is everything okay?” She asked her gaze, dropping to my chest which had healed.

Her hand touched the huge scare that sits at the side of my chest on top of my heart. The scar that stands to remind me of the day I became an alpha, the day I fought my uncle head on and mouth open. ” Did it hurt?” Her finger settled on it as she traced the scar from the edge to the bottom, spreading beautiful tangles on my skin and painfully entertaining my fucking dick. I grabbed her hand making it rest on my chest just on the scar.

” Nothing hurt me other than seeing you hurt” I carried her hand to my lips and placed a kiss in her palm.

” You…”

” Don’t say anything, I know you are confused but trust me everything will be okay as long as we are together” I assured her pulling her back into my chest.

I stroke her hair gently feeling her slow heartbeat, her relaxed body and her beautiful strawberry smell.

‘ Roman, I will be heading to check in on the warriors ‘ Zackry mindlinked me. What the fuck was he driving at? Who the fuck was going to take care of his sick mother?

‘ Fucking take care of your old woman!’ I snarled and the mindlink went silent. ‘ Yes alpha ‘ he replied after a few seconds.

Her stomach growled and she pulled away biting on her bottom lip.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

” I will make you something, ” she turned to look at the time. ” It doesn’t matter,” I told her and she nodded.

I pulled a few ingredients from the freezer after pulling a stool for her. ” You can cook?” She asked and I hemmed as I was fucking just cutting the veges.

I added everything and allowed it to boil. I grabbed whisky from the island and poured myself a glass. ” You really can?” I nodded after looking at her face, she seemed a bit skeptical with her talking and I couldn’t blame her but I wish she would be open with me. ” Here ” I passed her a glass of juice. The last thing I wanted was to get her drunk. Her wolf could have sip her up a little but she was yet to shift.

” How old are you?” She asked and I titled my head at the side. I think I like that she was warming up to me ” I will guess” I took another sip.” Twenty six” she said and a smile broke up on my lips for the second time. ” Did I get it right?” She seemed eager to know but yeah, she got it right but I didn’t like to lose so I didn’t utter a word. ” I will ask Zackry then ” she threatened and I frowned. ” We became friends the day he drove me” she explained and a growl slipped out of my throat. ” There I have got you” she laughed, her cute face filled with life.

I didn’t move, I just watched her laugh with a smile on my face . I never knew her laughter could call such excitement to my heart.

” You got it right, ” I admitted with a smile. She stopped when her eyes found mine. It was easy to make her happy. ATTENTION!

I pulled the food from the fire and dished it into two plates. ” You didn’t make desert” she shrugged, grabbing a fork.

” You are not only good looking but a great cook as well” the last part came as a whisper as her eyes stared at me.

Was she regretting admitting I was good looking?

” Stay and I won’t mind cooking for you everyday” my tone was cold and down, filled with hope. I didn’t want her to go. I was scared she would decide to leave one day and I would never see her again.

” I don’t have anywhere to go” she buried her face in her plate and I licked my lips, staring at her in silence.

” Why do I feel I’m important to you” she asked all of the sudden and I wanted to tell her she was my fucking mate but who was I kidding she needs her wolf to confirm it . ” Because you are ” I poured myself another glass of whisky. ” You can always get someone to carry your heir….” I growled before I could have control of myself. ” I will go to bed. ” She jumped down from the stool with a sad face and ran up the stairs.

I ran my fingers in my hair and my eyes followed her up.

Xade took her statement as a rejection.
