Lahat ng Kabanata ng Arranged For The Cruel Alpha : Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

ALPHA ROMAN'S POV “ Did you find anything?” I stepped out of the woods in my wet black pants onto the quiet road with the rain beating heavily on the ground. “ We haven't found anything yet but we are hoping to, '' Vincent explained and my cold gaze ran over to the number of warriors in the river struggling to get the car out. “ The car is stuck in the river and whoever is inside the car is still breathing,'' he added but that wasn't what caught my attention. There was a strange smell in the air and I was sure it came from the river. It wasn't the first time something like this had happened on this highway. It was always one futile accident to another, most at times the victims appeared to be humans but I didn't think it was the same this time. I sniffed the air to be sure and I could smell blood in the air. The heavy rain wasn't helping or making it easy to smell anything but I wasn't any werewolf but an alpha and a powerful hybrid at that. I was half-demon, half-witch, and

24 ANNABELLA'S POV Madeline had already packed the food by the time I got downstairs. This time I didn't need directions to get to his office because I was almost familiar with the pack since I have been taking strolls lately. His office was quiet and the light was off signaling his absence. I wasn't sure how long I had been in here but long enough to know he wasn't coming. Long enough to give up but I decided to wait some more. Maybe he was in his way. Sitting on the couch with my eyes stuck to the door hoping he would walk in any minute but after waiting for what felt like an eternity I decided it was best I leave. He wasn't coming. I turned off the light and left his office. The atmosphere was dark but I wasn't in the mood for it. A few minutes to the pack house I decided to take a walk. Madeline wouldn't be in at that time and I wasn't in the mood for sleep. I headed towards the park. My inside was hurting, I could feel the twist each time I thought about him and her to

26 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 o

28 ANNABELLA'S POV I stared in shock when the door pulled open as if I knew who it was. I kept my eyes on him until he was inches away from me. I didn't know how but I felt like hugging him so tight and not letting him go back to that female. Thinking about him having a mate hurt my chest, I wasn't yet sure what this was about. I bit on my lip to control the stupid urge that was making me restless and having stupid thoughts. I didn't know why I was so attached to him in such a way when I knew fully well he had his mate with him. What was wrong with me? I frowned when he placed the tray in his hand on the bed beside me. I sniffed the delicious aroma of the food and couldn't believe he went through the trouble to make something for me in the middle of the night. What was he trying to achieve, I mean he already has a mate. I met his eyes and I felt as if there were hidden emotions in them. His behavior didn't correspond to the rumors I heard before coming over. Ruthless

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? “ Y–you 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
