The Alpha’s Arranged Bride

ALPHA CARAMEL’S POV

After the Elders told me Lavender could not be my Luna, I immediately was about to ask why that was so. It was a complete surprise to me nothing that they all smiled and told me I made a good choice picking her as my Luna.

However, just before the words could leave my mouth, I heard the commotion coming from the gates. I left them and headed for the gates. But I was shocked to hear the pack members say such of Lavender and the Elders backed them up.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

This was unusual. It was never meant to happen this way. The reason they gave was absurd to me. So what if Joanna was banished? I was not interested in Joanna but Lavender. I cared for Lavender with all my heart. I saw no one better for this position than her.

Alpha Toot might have rejected her, but I cannot. She might not be my mate, but she held my heart and controlled it. I was filled with so much anger and pain watching them speak ill of my beloved Lavender. It was wrong.

What worsened it was that she fainted on hearing all their awful words towards her and her mother. She fainted in my arms and I could not describe the feeling I had at that very moment.

I ignored everyone, carried her into her room, then turn to Asher. “Call the doctor,” I instructed before laying her down on the bed.

In a few minutes, the doctor arrived and quickly began checking on her. I could not let go of her hand. I did not want her to leave me. I could not stop staring at her unconscious body. I felt guilty for putting her in such a situation. My heart bled, picturing what she must have been feeling when they all say that about her.

Why would they all be so heartless to speak of her in such a manner? I have never felt this angry in my entire life. I feel disappointed in myself for not being able to stop them. Maybe if I had, it would never have escalated to this point.

The doctor made a few checks and then moved away. “How is she?” I move my games from Lavender to the doctor, then back to Lavender.

The doctor nodded. “She will be fine. She was hit by shock and only had a meltdown. In a few hours, she will come around,” she told me and I nodded, taking my attention to my angel.

The doctor left after passing that information. I caressed her face gently, tucking loose strands of her hair to begin with her ears. I knew the doctor said she was going to be fine, but I could not be calm until she had opened her eyes.

“Alpha,” Asher called, and I hummed, my eyes on Lavender.

“The people are still in the mansion and have refused to leave,” he informed me, but I did not care about them.

They caused my Lavender so much pain that she went unconscious. I was not happy about that. I do know them because there are words that meant nothing to me at the moment. All I cared about was Lavender at the moment. If they wanted to stay and speak to themselves, then it was their business.

Regardless of what they say, I would not stop loving Lavender. And I knew she loved me, too. She accepted me and accepted all I believed in. I cannot just abandon her now.

A few minutes in, Mom joined us in the room. “Alpha Caramel,” she called, but I ignored her.

She sighed and was about to speak again. “Please leave,” I simply instructed.

I did not want to hear whatever she wanted to say at the moment. Sometimes Mom was for the people so she could decide that I let go of Lavender, so the people would be at peace, and sometimes she’d be happy with my decision. Either of them I was not too sure of, and right now, I did not want to debate it with her.

I just wanted to be by Lavender’s side and wait for her to wake up. I needed to assure her that whatever they said meant nothing to me and that what mattered was that I loved her and wanted her to be my Luna.

Thirty minutes later, a guard walked into the room and whispered something into Asher’s ears. He then turned to me. “The sentinels seek your presence, Alpha,” He informed me.

For a few minutes, I said nothing, my gaze on Lavender’s face. I knew what they had to say, but I could not ignore them. With a sigh, I let go of Lavender’s hand, placing it gently beside her before leaving the room to meet them.

They all bowed, but I did not care. They wanted to say something I was not going to love, so their respect was just a little annoying to me. I took my seat and the first words that left their mouth made me clench the handle of my chair in anger.

“Leave her, Alpha,” they said.

“She is a wonderful girl, Alpha,” the head of the sentinels began. However, she is not suitable to be the pack’s Luna. Just like her mother, she too is banished. “If she is made Luna, think about what other packs would think of us. They would disrespect us,” he said.

“We need a Luna that does not bring shame to us,” Another backed him up. “Lavender will, and we cannot allow that to happen,” he added.

“We are not saying you should no longer have her as your wife. For the sake of compromise, you can keep her as your wife, but she cannot be your Luna. You can pick any other in the pack to fill that position as we need a Luna in the pack,” the head of the Elders spoke.

They paused, glancing at themselves as I chose not to say anything. “Alpha,” One of them called, and I stood up immediately.

“Fine,” I said, then left the room.
