ALPHA ROMAN
” An heir?” She bit on her lip and I stepped closer. ” Yes, an heir ” I took another step closer with my hands in my pocket. Staring at her was like I was gazing at the stars. She was beautiful, innocent, and very confusing. Sometimes I wish we hadn’t met in such a circumstance, maybe things would have been easier to deal with. At times I felt her affection towards me and at times I didn’t it was like she hated me just like these past days. One minute she would be angry because I put down the contract and the next minute she would be sad because I drew another.
What did she want? I wished she was easy to deal with.
At this point I wished I didn’t have to use some stupid contract to pull her to me, I wished her wolf was out. That way I wouldn’t have to deal with her stubborn behavior.” You terminated the contract you had with my father” that was what I also thought until I realized she could leave the pack one day without telling me.” No” she didn’t tell me but I knew she wasn’t happy with the decision made that was why I was taking it back besides, her place was with me and nowhere else.” So it was a lie?”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
‘ Now you have succeeded in hurting her ‘ Xade growled in my head but I pushed him away. I wasn’t going to reason with my heart this time. The moment I decided to take her out of the pack and here, everything changed. The world was not all gold, she was the weakness that no one believed existed. The demon blood in me messes with everything and everyone around me. She was stuck with me at the expense of her safety and my sanity.
” You made me believe I’m free but in truth, it was a lie.” she stared away for a few seconds before turning to look me in the eyes with her teary eyes. ” How could I be this stupid and think you are a good person.” She shook her head painfully and I raised my hand to touch her but she stepped back. ” I’m still a priced item. I can’t believe how foolish I have been.” she turned her back to me as if trying to hide her tears.
” So what happens when I can’t give you an heir in a year?” She turned to face me, her eyes red but her face was stern portraying the strong girl vibe. Her curious gaze settled in my cold once as if searching for answers in them.” Then you can’t leave” I replied nonchalantly and she sniffed, nodding her head. ” How the hell did I allow myself to believe in this lie?”
I stepped back with a stern cold face. ” I should have taken the rumor seriously” I frowned, feeling hurt as if it was the first time I was facing the truth. I hated that I had to put her through all this but we couldn’t go back to it.
I accepted the fate that would come with her existence the minute I decided on this prime ball where alphas all over the globe would show up to make alliances and meet each other. ” I wish I never believed you” she whispered and I started towards the door.
” I want this to be done in a year.” She said suddenly stopping me right at the door. My hand tightened around the door knob with an iced face. ” I want to be free again and be with whoever fate chose for me.” Her last sentence brought rage into my eyes but I didn’t turn to look at her.
It was better that way. She didn’t know I was her mate and I wasn’t going to tell her in such a situation.
It is always better when one finds out the truth. I closed the door behind me and headed out of the estate but not without making sure she would be okay. Abraham and his beta could be despicable at times. ” What happened?” Vincent noticed but I wasn’t in the mood to discuss anything with him. ” Why don’t you tell her, she will reject you if she doesn’t want you?”
” And you think I will allow that?” No. She belonged to me, her place was beside me. She was my fucking mate and we belonged together.” Are you going to force her to accept the bond if she doesn’t?” Vincent doesn’t seem to understand yet but he could put it that way. ” Gladly,” I said coldly and he placed a hand on my shoulder which made me stop in my tracks. ” You are joking?”
” She is mine” I replied and he shook his head. ” You know it’s only a year,” he reminded me but I wasn’t moved by that contract. I didn’t fucking care what was in that damn contract and I wasn’t going to care.” That was before ” the contract was drawn before I found out she was my fated mate. She was my other half and no one could stop it, not even the moon goddess. ” The contract stopped working the minute I found out she was my mate,” I told him and he sighed as if he couldn’t believe his ears. ” What are you up to, Roman?” wasn’t it obvious?
” She belongs to me till eternity” I declared with a nonchalant face and started walking. ” You know this is a breach of contract?”
” Christopher should be happy he still has his head” The contract between us was no longer valid. It stopped being valid the second Xade called her ‘ mate ‘.
Now her place was in my pack, Christopher could try anything he wanted.
Let me see who will try to stop me. With or without the dam contract she was mine.
VINCENT’S POV
I wouldn’t recommend a wolf-less she-wolf for an alpha, especially Roman but I guess that was the way things should be.
It was a surprise news, an unexpected encounter. I didn’t understand at first but after I learned the truth, everything started making sense. But I was still getting used to the reality of him being attached to a woman. I could see he wants her and was ready to do the fuck for her sake and here we were in the royal pack for a fucking prime ball that has not been our business for decays.
First time attending the prime ball. If he could put his differences with alpha Abraham aside for her then who the fuck was I, but how could I forget she was wolf-less?
She couldn’t bear him a son without her wolf but looking at the situation I knew Roman wouldn’t reject her. She seemed to be part of him already, I would have thought otherwise if I didn’t know him better. Bella was the weakness that wasn’t supposed to exist.
I hope he knows what he was doing bringing her over to the wolves Dan. The pack would be filled with alphas all over the world in a few hours.
A lot would change from this day onwards.
I knew Roman and I believed he had something in mind.
I didn’t know what to think but seeing how the two behaved around each other, it was difficult to tell if they were ever at war with each other. Alpha Abraham and Roman never saw eye to eye, their beef started after Alpha Frank’s reign.
For the first time, he was doing something to keep a woman. I sighed, staring up at the sky and leaning my back against the car. ” Say it, Vincent” he growled and I grinned. At least Bella didn’t change him entirely. “Why are we here?” We should be preparing for the ball, I stared at my wrist watch and it was almost midnight. ” It’s not the right place to leave her alone” It was hard to tell but I knew alpha Abraham wouldn’t change and he wouldn’t hesitate using Bella to hurt Roman. Besides, he still blames Roman for the death of his sister. ” Abraham wouldn’t murder his guest.” He sounded calmer than I imagined but he was right. It was the next night for the prime ball and the alpha Abraham wouldn’t move even if he wanted to.
” Will she ever forgive me?” He asked all of a sudden and I raised a brow. Wait, was it about Bella?
” I wouldn’t know until you tell me what you did,” I shrugged……
” Are you planning on allying?” It would be a good thing to have an alliance with other packs but Turner’s pack has been doing well over the years especially after the blood was shared. Though the pack gained a new reputation after the rumors of Roman killing his uncle spread trust me, Turner’s pack would survive without alliance if not long it would be for the next century.
I didn’t know if there were still alphas out there who didn’t know the kind of man Roman was. Everyone was scared of him including the alpha king, alpha Abraham.” What do you suggest?”
” The question is are there alphas who are willing to have an alliance with us?”
” Look into alpha Thomas, I want every detail there is about his pack,” he said and I didn’t need to be told something was going on. Alpha Thomas was the alpha of the Blood Moon pack, there used to be an alliance between his pack and the Turner pack but that alliance expired the same year Alpha Frank was defeated.
