Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ANNABELLA’S POV

Fate has thrown a dark shade on me that I doubt I will ever recover from this betrayal.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Standing beside my window dressed in a long red gown that showed enough of my cleavage and had a long cut up to the middle of my left thigh. My two packed luggage standing beside my bed, my hand crossed against my chest in silence as I stared out of my window waiting to say my goodbye.

Even though everything was taken from me by my twin sister, Olivia, I still feel sad because I was leaving. Besides, this pack had been my home right from the beginning. Every single tear and laughter I experienced happened right in this pack.

No matter how much pain I think this pack has cost me, I still can’t help being emotional.

I would be leaving any moment from now. It was just a matter of time, I just had to wait a little longer. Soon I won’t have to deal with Olivia again. I blame myself for my difficult life, but I hated Olivia for everything.

” Annabella”. I turned back from the window and guessed who it was. ” What do you want?” I asked coldly with an unhappy face,” I just want to make sure you don’t run away”, Olivia said sarcastically, making herself comfortable on my bed and I could feel my face turning cold in anger.

” I hope you are not blaming me for your misfortune,” she said lazily as if she was innocent. Who else did she want me to blame if not her? After all, she was the reason Summer left me and the reason I had to get married to that beast in the first place.

” Isn’t it obvious I’m not planning to run?” I asked and she chuckled. ” How can I be sure? You tried that last night?” she teased, and I wiped tears from the corner of my eyes.” Can I ask you something?” I swallowed” I will try to answer your questions if they are reasonable” She rolled her eyes and I nodded feeling the beating of my heart.” How long have you and Summer been together?” I asked, my stomach twisting in discomfort as I stared painfully at her.” Are you sure you want to know that?” She glared from the corner of her eyes.” Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?” I asked and she stared back silently at me.

“Four months now,” she said dryly, and I pushed back my tears. I turned to face the window.

That was our birthday month, the month we both turned eighteen. How could my sister and mate decide to betray me like this? Why did he do this to me? Why cause me so much pain?

“Summer didn’t want to hurt you. He thought you would die if you found out your twin sister and your mate have a thing for each other. Not as if he was wrong” she murmured the last part and, I could feel her rolling her eyes, that was Olivia for you.

” Don’t worry, I won’t run. Besides, where will I go?” I said and smiled bitterly before cleaning my face.

” Anna”, the door busted open, and my father strode in. ” It’s time. Your ride is here” he said, his gaze drifting to Olivia.

” Take care, Olivia. I hope you will be happy”, I wished her and pulled my stuff with me as I exited the room.

The drive to the park wasn’t as short as I thought. It was so far the longest journey I have ever been, even though I wasn’t used to traveling out of the pack. After hours of jumping from one car to another, the car suddenly halted in front of a tall white building that looked exactly like a modern castle.

As I stepped from the car, I was in awe, forgetting everything about the ugly, cruel beast I was going to live with. My eyes were busy admiring the modern structure when someone addressed me as Luna. I didn’t pay attention at first or maybe because I wasn’t used to it.

” Luna ” I turned to my side to see a tall, well-built male standing with his strong hand on my luggage, his upper body naked with tiny balls of sweat sitting on his smooth chest and his flat, charming stomach. His excellent green eyes stared at me as if he was amused, or should I say surprised?

” Ah. I’m sorry”, I pushed my long black hair from my face after clearing my throat. I stepped back unconsciously from him as I realized how close he was standing beside me.” I’m beta, Vincent” he said with a smile, and I stared away from him awkwardly.” welcome to turners pack” he said, and I gave him a small smile that didn’t reach my eyes” Shall we?” He pointed to the brown door with a welcoming smile on his good-looking face and I hesitantly led the way.

Everything I saw exceeded my expectations. The Turner’s pack was rich, but I didn’t expect to see such luxuriousness. Their packhouse was insanely huge and beautiful. The height of the building was crazy. I watched as beta Vincent pressed twenty-six of the elevator bottom before it shut.

I couldn’t help wondering where the ugly beast was. My eyes were constantly looking around as if I could avoid him in his pack.” The alpha isn’t here at the moment and I think he is in the best position to explain that” he said and I frowned. What was there to explain? In fact, I was glad he wasn’t around. At least I could have a moment before my torture began.

” This is it” he pushed the door open and my lips parted slightly as my eyes widened a little bit. The room was top-notch, everything was like a good dream. Was I really in for torture?

” I think you can figure the rest out yourself, ” Beta Vincent said, pulling me out of thought.” Thank you” I said calmly, and he smiled,” Don’t mention it”, he told me, and I heard the door shut behind me.

I signed. Staring down at my luggage.

After unpacking my stuff in the huge closet, I felt exhausted and minutes later I found myself on the cozy bed. The warm smell really did calm my nerves down. I wouldn’t say I was nervous because what I was feeling was a mixture of fear and excitement.

A part of me was glad about my departure from the shadow pack, that way I wouldn’t have to see Olivia and Summer while the other part was scared of the unknown.

I couldn’t help wondering what my life would be like in this pack even though I didn’t expect to be treated like a princess.

I soon drifted off to sleep without much realization. The smooth warm scent that was lingering in the room turned really heavy on my nostrils. I felt really cozy as I turned on my side, enjoying the new comfort that seemed to be making my sleep interesting.

My eyes flipped open when I felt my hand pressed against something hard, something that seemed to restrict my movement. The room was dark, and I felt someone beside me. Immediately, I pushed my eyes open.” Don’t move ” a deep stern voice ordered, as I tried to run from the bed and I froze. Was I in the wrong room?” You smell good” he said, pulling me to himself and I felt my clit trembling in my underwear with his warm breath fanning my face and his strong hand wrapped around my waist.

I couldn’t move as I could feel myself obeying his command. My eyes moved around the darkness for a long while before drifting off to sleep again.

When I woke up the next morning, I found myself sleeping alone. I frowned when I touched the other side of the bed and found it cold. ” Was that a dream?” I whispered to myself as I glared at the other side of the bed with a frown on my face. How was that dream?

I dropped from the bed after discarding the thought, it might be my imagination or something close. I arranged my bed like I used to do when I was in my old pack before striding to the bathroom to take a shower.

The bathroom wasn’t anything less. The bathtub was a modern one with strange features like the ability to warm water.

I enjoyed my bath, forgetting what fate lies ahead of me.

In a short white dress and my hair tied in a ponytail behind my head, I stepped out of the room. And since I was feeling a bit hungry, I just thought it would be wise to make use of the huge kitchen space I saw the previous day.

As I took the stairs one after the other, I was immediately engulfed by a sweet aroma that made my stomach growl shamelessly and feel starving. Who could it be? I thought as I stepped down toward the kitchen.

” Who are you?” a brown-haired woman who seemed to be in her late thirties questioned me and I stopped, looking silently at her. My eyes took in her appearance, and instantly I felt a familiar feeling in my chest.

And as if I sensed someone, my eyes immediately flew to the door as it pushed open. I gulped air as my eyes met with a pair of cold blue eyes that seemed more like the deep ocean” Good morning”. He strode towards me and placed a soft kiss on the corner of my lips, shamelessly.

And I felt a shiver the moment his warm tiny lips connected to my skin. He smelled just like my room, and he didn’t seem to be old. ” Alpha Roman”, the brown-haired woman greeted him with a bow and my mouth flew open in shock.
