Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ANNABELLA’S POV

My hand unconsciously flew to my chest as the car drove miles away from the tunners pack. My heart squeezed painful in my chest and a sense of loneliness surrounded my heart making me sad inside.

My face paled at that instant as I recalled my first night in the pack and the moment when he saved me from falling off the stairs.

The way his hands went around me, possessively and the concern look in his eyes made my heart flutter. I didn’t know why I was thinking about him all of the sudden but I felt a bit weird thinking about him. He was the last person I was supposed to think of but for some reason I couldn’t stop myself even though I found it weird.

I didn’t know what was wrong with me or why I was feeling restless. I could feel my palm sweating as his cold concerned face plastered in my head like a billboard. Why was I thinking about him of all people? Madeline was also good to me right? A loud sigh left my mouth as I turned my head back to look back, the further the car went the more scared my feelings turned into. I didn’t know what was wrong with me but my feelings were clear and I was obviously feeling scared.

But why?

” Are you okay, Luna?” Zackry who introduced himself as the gamma of the runners pack asked, his voice pulling me out of my thoughts. ” I’m fine” I said with a weak smile and just like that he let the subject rest. I wasn’t sure why he let me go because I knew he paid a huge amount of money toy father. So why was he letting me go? I couldn’t help thinking about it.

The thought of something bad happening scares me a lot but the thought of seeing Summer again excited me.

I couldn’t help it. It had been days since I left the shadow pack but I was finally returning. Maybe I would be able to get back together with Summer. There was nothing stopping and I believe we have a bigger chance of being together again.

The car drove inside the shadow pack after hours and I could see a few familiar faces. I shut my eyes and opened it again to make sure it wasn’t a dream and that I was indeed back home.

I couldn’t believe I was back after days and for good. The pack was still the same as it was and I kind of felt a bit uncomfortable but I guess it was because I haven’t been around for days. I hoped things would get better soon. I stepped down from the car just in front of the beta building to see Summer first. I wanted us to talk things over and resolve our differences because I was ready to forgive him and let whatever happened between him and Olivia slide. I wanted us to be together just like the goddess designed.

After all, we were fate mates.

” Thank you” I said to Zackry, the scary gamma of the runners pack as he pulled out my luggage from the back of the car.

He was just like Vincent, well built, hard, huge muscles and a firm body with a strong aura. He was no joke but nothing compared to alpha Roman.

” I was ordered to send you in ” he said when I tried to take my luggage from him and a frown settled on my face. I did understand what he meant but why would he give him such orders?

” I can go from here ” I told him but he didn’t let go of my luggage , his strong hand kept holding onto it while his eyes refused to meet mine.

I couldn’t believe he thought this cheap. How could he think someone would hurt me in my own pack? ” This is my pack and if there is anywhere safe for me then that will be here” I told him with a frown but the only thing he could say was ‘ sorry Luna ‘ why was I still being addressed as Luna!?

I didn’t see the need to argue because from the look of things his alpha’s words meant the world to him and I doubt my persistence would change anything.

I stormed off to the beta building ahead of us which was a few meters away. ” I can’t believe we are now going to have a new alpha” I was about to knock on the door when I heard two pass bys discussing excitedly. They seemed to be coming from the main pack house which was far from the beta block meaning they were unmated. In the shadow pack the packhouse was filled with the unmated wolves both males and females.

It has been like that since I remember.

” I can’t believe that cheap girl chose a beast over our hot beta.” For some reason their words grabbed my attention and I couldn’t help but turn to look at their moving backs” Who really cares, she really didn’t deserve him ” the other one said with a lot of hatred in her voice. I could see they were all dressed up and I wondered what was going on because the pack was quieter than usual. There were no pups running around like usual days and the few members I saw around seemed to be heading in the same direction.” Where was everyone?” I knocked on the door a few times but no one answered. I wondered again because even if Summer wasn’t home, the omegas would be around to receive visitors.

What of his father, the former beta of the pack?

I turned away from the door only to see Zackry standing by the car with my luggage together with the other warrior who didn’t introduce himself but worked as the driver throughout this journey.

I shrugged and decided to follow the couples who just passed by me. ” You should see the decoration, I want our wedding to be just like that, ” the female said to the male and he chuckled. ” Are you trying to compete with the alpha?” He asked her and she playfully slapped his shoulder. ” Of course not, the alpha is rich but you are not poor either.” she said and the man pulled her to his side. ” I will give you more” he promised and I frowned but stopped when I recognized the route.

My eyes narrowed in confusion when I noticed the church building ahead. I strode further and even passed the couples whom I followed. My eyes ran around the place, it was decorated with light blue and it felt weird. The decorations outside the building were exactly like the one I shared with Summer, light blue flowers combined with red roses. It wasn’t a common combination if you asked me.

I wanted to do something different, something no one have done before and Summer like it.

The more I stepped further the more I realized how similar everything was. I didn’t know if it was really a continent but I didn’t think it was when I saw whose wedding it was. I felt tears falling from my eyes as I watched their connected hands.

She was dressed in a red gown just like I painted in my head. My eyes ran around the chucked and everything started to make sense. ” By the power vested in me, I promise you husband and wife ” the priest said and I trembled back in silence.

For some reason, Summer stared back and just like it was meant to happen he met my eyes and his eyes widened. ” You may kid your bride” the voice came faintly.

I didn’t know why I was hurt when the handwriting was clear before I left.

Why didn’t I think this would happen any time soon?

Why was I crying again?

” I thought she left the pack to marry alpha Roman, why is she back? ” Whispers broke in the church and the look on Olivia’s face was certainly meant to irritate me but I wasn’t surprised nor was I angry at her.

She has never liked me anyway so what was new? I was disappointed in myself and also angry with Summer for doing this to me.

” She has no shame, she dares to show her face here after choosing money over her mate, ” someone said and I shut my eyes as I realized what they have done to me. I couldn’t believe they taunted me and the pack members after selling me out to another alpha.

” What are you doing here?” My father’s angry growl reached my ears and my eyes broke away from Summer’s. ” You good for nothing girl” he took long strides towards me with my mother behind him. Olivia was clutching onto Summer’s arm like a second skin. ” What is it that you want?” He growled as he halted before me. His eyes glaring at me in cold anger, my present was nothing but anger for him.

Wasn’t I his daughter just like Olivia?

I binhaked hushly and then opened my eyes.” Did you not regret what you have done to me?” Tears threatened to fall but I pulled it back. ” Am I your daughter at all?” I asked shifting my gaze to my mother, the woman who claimed to have carried me in her womb for months. She kept silence just like now and watch him mess up my life. Take away what was mine and everything that was meant to pull my life together and make me happy. He stole my life from me and handed it joyfully to Olivia like I didn’t matter. ” Should I be proud of having you as my family?” I questioned and just like that a hard slap landed on my face which made me trembled back as I felt wet in my mouth.

” I’m ashamed to have a daughter like you. We are ashamed to have you in this family’s” he said in clear words and my gaze went to my mother, ” You too?” I asked her and instead of staring back at me she glared at my father.

Just like I assumed. She was his slave not his Luna. She has always been afraid of him just like now. ” Don’t you dare involve your mother in this!” He warned and tears streamed down my face as I noticed the pain in her eyes. ” Why, because she has no right to say what she feel?” I asked and he raised his hand to hit me again but stopped when a loud growl resounded in the building sending shivers and chills down my spine.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
