Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ANNABELLA’S POV

If there was anything I was grateful for, it would be the fact that it wasn’t a lifetime contract. But even though I didn’t see it any easier, it felt like I was in my grave.

I couldn’t believe they did this to me, sold me out to that beast for money.

How did he feel signing the damn contract? Was he happy when giving away my freedom to that beast? I wondered with a lot of sadness lingering in my heart. I knew I wasn’t as important to him as Olivia but I was also his daughter for goodness sake so why did he give me out so easily, why did he treat me like I wasn’t his blood?

I understood the pack was important to him but wasn’t I important to him too? Why my life?

Why was I tossed aside like I was nothing? I have never once felt important and I guess my feelings were right. Neither my mother nor my father cared about me like they did with Olivia and the pack.

I have always lived in their shadows. I have always been nothing compared to Olivia and the pack.

” How could he do this to me?” I whispered to myself in tears. Even though crying wouldn’t solve anything, I couldn’t help it. I felt like it and I knew I couldn’t stop them from running down.

I was hurt from being tossed off like a piece of trash for money!

I clenched onto the white bedspread like a lifesaver as I stopped myself from busting out into a loud sob.

I haven’t slept for the past two days, I couldn’t close my eyes even if I wanted to. Everything was like a nightmare, a dream I wanted to wake up from.

I didn’t know how I was going to survive, I didn’t know what I was going to do with what was left of me. I was still trying to wrap my head around everything. It was difficult to let it rest. How could I forget what I saw?Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

With his signature, I was now his property, his possession or should I say his baby making machine?

And it all because my father, alpha Christopher signed away my freedom.

What was the worst thing that could happen to me?

I hardly got out of bed and practically didn’t know how so much time passed me by. I didn’t even know what I was hoping to achieve by laying in bed.

The deeds have already been done and I had to concentrate on how to get out of it. I thought as if it was possible to just walk away.

I fell into a slumber in my miserable state and after a few minutes I slammed my throat. I stretched a hand to get the water jar at the bedside but so much to my dismay there was no water.

I sighed and moved the bed spread from myself and stepped down and unlocked the door.

I felt a little dizzy as I descended the stairs to the kitchen. I placed a hand on my forehead as I could feel my head spinning. I was feeling pain everywhere in my body but my head was barging like a drum and suddenly I missed a step and was about to fall down from the stairs when I felt a strong hand around me.

And at that instant I felt the familiar tangles, the weird feeling and the familiar smell that seemed to weaken my muscles, make me wet for some reason and heighten my senses at the same time.

” Are you okay?” The sound of the cold deep yet soft familiar voice made me stare up with shock, my eyes wide opened and my lips parted with my throat running dry at every second.

He seemed concerned but I wasn’t going to get myself fooled. What could possibly make him care about me?

I pulled away from him and took two steps back to put space in between us.” Are you hurt? ” He asked, his gaze wandering around my body as if he cared. Actually I would have thought he cared if I didn’t know his deal with my father ” Madeline will make something for you”. He stepped forward and grabbed my hand which made my private part throb weirdly. And I was sure he sensed it because I saw the change in his eyes. I didn’t know what that was but I felt a bit scared and pulled my hand from his grip. ” I don’t want to eat anything. ” I said sternly and turned to leave but he grabbed my hand tightly this time as his face turned void of emotions.

His eyes were back to their cold nonchalant form and his face expressionless.” You don’t get to do what you want ” he said coldly and parted my lips to protest but a single raise of his brow shut my mouth.

” I will make you if I have to:” he warned, letting go of my hand and I trembled back but he in turn grabbed my arm to steady me. ” Are you going to force me to eat just like you did to bringe here?” I said hopelessly with tears clouding my vision and he tilted his head to one side, a slight frown covering his beautiful face.” Don’t you understand that I don’t want to be here?” I remembered ” I had a life before you ruined it, I had a mate who loved me but…”

” Stop!..” he growled and the room turned dead silent, I couldn’t feel my heartbeat, not my pulse.

His angry gaze gazed into mine for a few seconds before he stormed out of the room in fury.

What, did he hate the truth this much? ” My dear” I fell to the ground with tears running down my face by the sound of the voice.

To think I was ready to embrace this new life even though it was difficult for me. I was willing to move on and accept whatever that awaits me here but this was too much to swallow. I couldn’t bring myself to accept this for myself.

” You have to calm down first, dear ” she held me and helped me to my feet. ” Don’t do something in a rush, life is much better with strangers. Anyone could become a family” she advised and I stared up at her old face. She seemed a bit older than the brown haired woman who was here the other day but the wrinkles on her face were hardly visible. Her eyes were dark and strange, like that of an eagle. ” Only those with hearts can be called family ” I said in between sobs. ” And how did you know?” She creased my hair with smiling face ” He us a beast” I whispered without thinking and I loud noise from outside made us startled as we both stared at the door.

” I understand you are angry. I can see you are sad but whatever reason you have for these emotions, I will advise you don’t act on your anger.” She helped me sit on the chair beside the dinner table. ” The truth isn’t what you think you know.” She said and I met her gaze. ” I will get you something to eat, you need to have something, ” she said in a voice that left me speechless as she parted my hair like my mother used to do when I was a pup.

My life wasn’t all messed up just like my childhood. Mom never gave me a reason to doubt her love, my childhood was roses.

I Wish things could go back to that time. I wished time would ran back to when we were all happy and living together as a family.

” Alpha Roman isn’t as bad as you think, especially with you” he placed a plate of beans and then went back to the kitchen for the rice. ” He is like that because that is who he is but with you, he is a different person. Just like the beast in the fairy tales, he also has a weakness.” she said with a small smile, her red hair was something I haven’t seen before. It strangely ran down to her thighs like she was in her early twenties.

” What do you mean?” I held tightly onto the fork and she placed her hand on mine after sitting beside me..” Learn to see things beyond their appearance and you will understand more than you want. ” She said and suddenly, the door pulled open after a soft knock ” Zackery ” she said before looking back at me ” Alpha Roman has instructed me to accompany you back to the shadow pack:” the man with curled hair said and I felt my heart squeeze in my chest before it went silent.

” Really?”

The old woman seemed unsurprised like she expected it …
