ALPHA ROMAN'S POV
“ She is in your wing” Vincent, my beta and right hand male informed me. My back facing him with my front facing the window. “ She seems calmer than I expected though she is a beauty “ he said in amusement but I didn't flench. She was just a part of our deal, her place in this pack wasn't permanent because she would be out of here in a year! Alpha Christopher was just a desperate man who would do anything to sustain his position and respect in his pack, it would be interesting to say he loved his pack but a man like him couldn't love anything apart from himself and that was an advantage for me. He could fuck up all he want I wouldn't mind as long as he didn't fuck with me. He didn't care much about his family or should I say his daughter? He was a fucking asshole, a power hungry beast who was more interested in his position and respect in his pack more than his position in his family. I expected him to oppose when I demanded his daughter be my mate for a year and carry my heir but guess what, the man fucking agreed without a second thought, not like his pack was in bad shape. And here she was. I gave him a week to deliver his daughter to my pack but he did it in two fucking days! “ She….” “ Enough” I cut him off before he could add more. I wasn't interested in anything about her after all, she was the daughter of her father . Men like Alpha Christopher deserve no respect nor could they be trusted, nothing from them could be reliable. It was easy for them to do anything for power and look away from the right things, not like I was any different but I wouldn't fucking sell my daughter. “ Make sure the money is sent to him immediately. '' I ordered since he had honored his side of the bargain there was no need to delay his money. Though I could decide to not sent the money to him after all his daughter was already in my pack and in my room waiting for me to fuck her and release my seeds into her through her pussy but I was a man of my damn words and I didn't intend to look back from what we agreed on. I would do exactly as promised but if he take any wrong fucking step I would fuck him up. I wouldn't hesitate to have his head if he try something funny. “ Sent” Vincent said and my phone immediately started ringing. “ Alpha Roman '' his cunning tone reached my ears the moment I attached the phone to my ears. The joy and the excitement wasn't hideous. “ I want to thank you for honoring your words. It is a pleasure to have a deal with you, alpha Roman” he said as if I was the kindest man on earth. I wasn't a fool to believe his polished tone, I knew how the world looked at me and the names that were laid out there for me but I was pleased that none of these alphas spoke their mind before me. I was well aware how they addressed me behind my back. I was indeed the beast of the night but how could they call me that when none of them have set their eyes on me? How sure were they that I was a beast? “ You did your part” I said, my cold deep voice slicing through the quiet room. I was labeled as the beast even though not many of them have seen me before. I eat and sleep in darkness because I was a rear bleed and almost impossible. One of the things my uncle tried to use against me and stop me from taking part in the pack issues after my father died was my wild wolf, he tried to get me locked up for eternity but I didn't let that happen. Thanks to him I got used to darkness. My wolf wasn't a pure breed because of the different supernatural blood racing through my bones and that was more of a curse than a blessing. Demons have no business with werewolves! “ I hope Annabella hasn't created any scene” he said and my lips parted, my eyes turned to gold hearing her name. “ Annabella” I whispered her name in silence and shut my eyes to imagine what she looked like and for the first time I felt mysekf relaxing in my imaginary world. Her name seemed to flench something in me,something foreign yet part of me. “ I wouldn't mind if you decide to punish her for every wrong she may do in the future” he said and eyes flipped open. “ She is no longer your responsibility!” I growled on the phone and the line went silent. “ Annabella..” “ Say her name one more time and I will fuck you up!” I cut him off and once again the line went dead silent with only his breathing. “ Our deal is close “ I said in a warning tone that surprised myself. I didn't understand why I was over protective of a woman I haven't seen yet but I guess I have every right to be considering the fact that he fucking gave her away without trying to find another way to rescue his pack besides I paid a huge amount of money for her to be in this pack. I was sure other alphas would lend him as much help as he needed but he chose the rough path, the darkest but easiest path. “ I don't want to hear from you again” I said coldly and handed the phone to Vincent who in return gave me a shock expression. “ You don't mean what you just said” he said but I didn't need to reply him to assure him I meant it because I fucking meant it. Until the one year deal was over, he has mo fucking right to call me and ask me about her and even at that she would have to fulfill her side of the bargain which was to give me an heir! “ What if he calls her?” He asked but I didn't let out a word because I knew he wouldn't dare. He wouldn't try to go against me on purpose, he knew what I was capable of hence I doubt he would ruin his luck. “ What about her?” Vincent asked and I turned to face him. “ What do you mean?” I asked with a frown. “ What if she calls him instead?” he asked. “ He can't answer, '' I said sternly and he nodded. “ I will make sure of that, '' he said before turning to leave my office. Until the entire deal is done, he has no right to call or speak to her. Alpha Christopher couldn't be trusted, who knows what might be going on in his head? I waited for night to fall before exiting my office. I headed to the alpha building and straight to my wing. I wasn't sure if I wanted to see her but I guess it would be fair to show myself to her. I was curious about the woman I was possessive of, I wanted to know what kind of a daughter alpha Christopher has even though the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I pushed the door open and her sweet strawberry scent hit me and my wolf growled in my head ‘ mate ‘ the word rang in my head and I narrowed my eyes trying to spot her in the darkness. Her scent was quite addicting, it was nothing I have smelled before and I guess it has a lot to do with the fact that she was my fucking mate. Was this the best that could happen? The woman I purchased with mine money to carry and bear me an heir within a year was my destined mate! At that instant, my wolf pulled forward and I didn't fight him because I wouldn't win. Whatever he wanted, he got and I have long come to understand that. My wolf took over completely the instant I pushed the bedroom door open. My gaze landed on the part of the room where her scent was heavy and that was the bed. She was fucking sleeping at this time, did she even had something to eat? I stepped closer and stared down at her through the darkness with my hands caged in my pocket. I could make out her faint breath aside her beautiful innocent smell. Staring at her through the darkness and listening to her faint study rhythmic breath. I was amused by her innocent thinking, I doubt she was anything like her coward of a father. I was expecting to see her awake and waiting but I guess I was wrong. I dropped beside her on the bed as my hand went into her silky long hair. My eyes shut on the spot as I let myself inhale deeply her scent and a lot of growl slipped down my throat. My left hand slipped to her tiny waist and pulled her to myself, my dick already standing erect and affected. I felt her body move and I shut my eyes open. “ Don't move” I commanded and I felt her body stiffened. “ You smell good “ I complimented in a deep husky tone. My body pressed against her and my face buried in her hair. Her strong strawberry scent engulfed me that I didn't know when I fell into slumber. By the time my eyes opened, I felt the chipping of the birds and the sneezing of the early morning breeze. My eyes shifted to the window and I noticed it was still dark outside and she was still sleeping. I slipped out of bed quietly, making sure not to wake her up. I headed to my office where I met Vincent waiting for me. “ Should we be expecting an heir soon?” His voice crushed into me the moment I opened the door. “ Get someone to make her breakfast “ I instructed, shutting the door behind me. “ Your wing?” Vincent asked but I ignored him. “ Why do I feel you are bending your own rules?” He asked and I stared up at him while I sat comfortably on my chair. “ Leave” my cold voice made him shut his mouth and the next minute he was out of my office. For the first time in my life I wished the blood moon was fucking over so I could leave the darkness in which I was binded to. I wanted to see her offen and I couldn't believe how I fucking missed her scent. Day broke in no time and all I could do was stare at the huge pack building from my dark office. The process felt like eternity for the first time, my wolf was restless for the second time in decays and I knew she was the reason.ALPHA ROMAN'S POV My wolf was restless, he was going wild with the distance between us and Annabelle but I couldn't overlook the situation, many lives would be at risk. The blood moon wasn't yet over hence it would be dangerous to step out. I spent half of my years locked up in darkness in hope of taming my wolf. I have long believed my existence was with darkness, it has always been the same procedure over and over again. I go through the same thing every year in fact, it has been a routine, a way to keep my wolf in check since the blood sun happens to be his doom. The daylight that comes after every night was our curse, The Blood Sun! I have to avoid daylight for six months every two years during the blood moon. The last time I stepped out in the blood sun I lost control and killed someone close to me since then, I have resulted in this measure. The darkness was the only way to avoid the blood sharing. My wolf, Xade, gets out of control on the last day of the sixth month which
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV In the dark cell, my wolfish golden eyes was what stood out, my wolf was completely in control, my black huge wolf was laying on the cold floor with its head on its lap. Its tongue stuck out as it studied breath resound in the dark cell. It was the last day of my imprisonment and I couldn't wait for it to be over, I couldn't wait to step out in the open again. It would be over after tonight, I thought to myself as my gaze ran around the familiar dark space. Darkness was a world that perfectly suited me and this cell was like my normal room to me because I spent more time here than I did in my room. It was the only place that accommodates me and my wolf, it prevents him from breaking boundaries and stops me from splitting blood. I shift, growl and endure all the pains that run through my veins during this time of the year, The Blood Moon! A loud growl erupted from my throat that shook the building and I immediately knew it was midnight. My wolf raised its h
ANNABELLA'S POV It was already enough that I had to leave my life and everything behind to save the pack that didn't care about me. I didn't know why I had to lose everything just like that but I went crazy thinking about what beta Vincent told me, I couldn't sleep the entire night so I decided to check it myself and to my dismay, the beast's beta was correct. I found a written agreement in his office that states that my father has indeed sold me to Alpha Roman! I clapped my hand on my mouth to stop myself from screaming but it was too late to stop my tears. What was left of me was gone. The little life left in me was snached from me right at that moment that I wanted to end it all Why was the world cruel to me? Was the pack going that bad? Why didn't he look for other alternatives instead of handing me over to the beast like I wasn't his daughter. Just like Olivia, I was also his daughter, I was his blood. I stopped the shower and reached out for the white towel to clean
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV ‘ This place can't be my home!’ Her words and the determined look in her eyes brought pain in my chest. An unfamiliar emotion affected my chest as it quickened my heart beat. She obviously didn't know anything about the damn agreement which wasn't my fault nor was it my problem to deal with. Alpha Christopher was supposed to handle that but it seems to me that the man forced his daughter here without letting her know what the mission was about. Otherwise why would she be hurt seeing the damn agreement? “ Roman….” “ What the fuck did you do that for?” I growled, grabbing him by the throat as my eyes resulted to black. “ I didn't bring her here” he said and I shoved him against the wall angrily before I ended up doing something horrible. Something I wouldn't be proud of. Something that would add to the guilt in my heart. My eyes met his and I turned away towards the window. I never asked him to do anything beyond his beta duties so why the fuck did he go beyond t
ANNABELLA'S POVIf 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 coul
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV“ I have been in the building for hours but I'm yet to see her” Madeline's concerned voice sounded in the room which wasn't something I didn't know. “ She would, ” I said to her without looking up from the file in front of me. I have come to understand certain things without knowing how they really work. First I found out she was my mate and second she was fated to another, what the fuck? I leaned back in my seat and sucked in air. Each time I thought about her having a mate makes me breathless. It inked me and just by thinking of it makes me pretty angry.“ I don't think you understand, it has been two days since I arrived but she hasn't shown herself to me. When do you think she will come out of that room?” She asked calmly and I stared up at her with a frown.I stepped down from my seat and headed towards the door. “ Calm down, you can't win her over like this” Madeline said all of the sudden. “ I can see how important she is to you, you don't have to say anythin
ANNABELLA'S POVMy 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
ALPHA ROMAN'S POV What the fuck was I thinking when I let her go, when I fucking let her out of my sight? The frustration was real. I couldn't think straight nor could I think of anything else other than her, she has suddenly become the centre of my life and that was why I wasn't going to let anyone lay a hand on her not even her fucking father! His gaze met mine and I could sense his fear, the terror looming in the air. And he terrified gape that left the mouth of the audience wasn't my fucking business as my gaze shifted from alpha Christopher to Annabella who had tears in her eyes. My hands fisted in my pocket as I glared at the hand he was about to use on my mate coldly rage gathered in my chest. I have never lost control of myself outside the blood sun. I always had it under control, I was always in control but today seemed like a different day. I knew alpha Christopher was a power hungry bastard but I didn't think he would lay his hand on his daughter, my mate? I took lon
