Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ANNABELLA’S POV

” Welcome back.” My father, alpha Christopher welcomed me with a warm hug as I stepped down from the car after Zion, one of Roman’s men opened the door for me. ” Thank you,” I said as my eyes ran around the pack. It has been months since I left but everything seemed the same. It was weird to be back here after a lot of weeks but I was glad I was here. After all, this was my home and where my life started.

I sighed with a look on my face when I recalled Roman’s protest. I wouldn’t be here if I had listened to him, well, I knew he would be calm by the time I returned.” Let’s take you inside.” My father said and I nodded with a small smile. I didn’t know what exactly was going on but I hope my mom wasn’t badly ill.

” Go to room room and rest while the omegas prepare lunch.” My father said and before I could ask him about my mom, he left the house, leaving the the shut behind him.

” Luna Bella, I will be outside if you need anything,” Zion said and I nodded.

Even though he wasn’t happy with me coming back here he still thought of my safety.” Okay, we are here now.” I whispered before starting towards the stairs to my old room since he didn’t give any orders. I was a bit surprised when I saw the state of my room.

It was nicely decorated and I could see there was no trace of the old staff. Even though the bed was new and larger, I could see my books were there right in the drawer at the bedside.

” You like it?” The sudden voice made me snap my head to my side. It was my mom, she was standing a few feet away in a white long dress, her hair done nicely as always with a smile on her face.

My mom looked exactly like Olivia, they both were the same, beautiful and elegant.

” Mom?” I called, turning my front to her.

Was she sick? I frowned, Even though I had been quiet since we started the journey to this pack, I guess she couldn’t spend a minute without Roman cuddling her.

” I arranged your room like this because I thought you would like it.” She said stepping a bit closer. A frown settled in my eyes when I realized the image of the woman before me.

Was it that serious?

She had gotten slimmer, her face was a bit pale and her eyes were darker than her usual beautiful brown eyes. The beautiful Luna of the shadow pack was now a shadow of herself. Was that even possible?

What could have happened to her? My heart ached as I stared at the woman before me.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

There was no trace of the strong and pretty elegant Luna of the shadow pack in the woman before me. ” Mom are okay?” I noticed her weird reaction and rushed to hold her before she hit the floor. My voice was like a mere whisper, the surprise and pain in my heart ceased my voice. I couldn’t believe the woman before me was my mom, the woman who gave birth to me.

I led her into my room and helped her sit on the bed. I didn’t know what to say, she may have treated me less as a daughter in the past but I recalled her actions towards me were the best of all.

She treated me better than everyone ever did.

She may have failed as my mother but she did raise me to be better. Seeing her like this makes me sad, why wasn’t I informed earlier? “How long has it been?” I asked and she grabbed my hand. ” Years.” She said and I frowned. What did she mean by years? She wasn’t sick when I left this pack. She was perfectly okay, so why now? ” It’s a disease I have had for years, it’s just got worse a few months ago and I pleaded with your father to call you back.” She kissed my knuckles with tears streaming down her face.

” I know I have not been the best mother to you, I have always treated you differently but I hope one day you can find a place in your heart and forgive me.” I felt my tears as I stared at her.

She was right, she has always treated me differently but never as badly as my father did. I always see the pain in her eyes whenever my father gets on with me. I see her desperation to talk on my behalf but the fear she has for my father was not something that could make her speak her mind. She has always been afraid of my father and it was something I find weird.

” No Mom, you did your best.” at least I got to experience love from her side. The little affection she showed me was better than nothing. Besides, being the mate of alpha Christopher wasn’t relaxing.

” I’m glad you were there for me.” I squeezed her hand. ” I will leave you to wash up, lunch will be served soon.” She sniffed before standing from the bed. ” thank you for coming.” She said and I nodded with a smile.

She was my mother after all.

Right after showering an omega came to call me for lunch. It seems the time for lunch hasn’t changed.

I pulled a pair of long blue jeans from the few things I brought with a white ladies’ top that I was sure would match my appearance.

I pulled my hair and tied it together behind my hair with a cloth before heading downstairs.

It was only my mother at the table when I got downstairs but soon my father and yes Summer who was the new alpha of the shadow pack joined together with his Luna, Olivia.

I guess my stay here was going to be a bit of work, especially with the way Olivia just stared at me.

Lunch was quiet and awkward until my father and Summer started to discuss pack issues. I was impressed with how much he has learned in such a short period.

From the way my father was talking, I could tell he was proud of him, and yes, I mean hr ha LS every right to be. ” Are you okay?” Mom whispered and everyone stared my way which I nodded awkwardly.

I could feel my father’s gaze on me, the sudden quietness made me feel like everyone was staring at me. ” Luna Bella, alpha Roman wants to talk to you. He said your phone isn’t going through ” I nodded and took the phone from Zion. I felt their gaze more than I did earlier.

” Excuse me.” I walked to the garden as I still recall my way around here.

” Are you okay?” His deep voice made my heart skip a beat as I nodded. ” I’m good, you?” Suddenly I felt a bit of emptiness in my heart. Was I used to him that much? ” It’s you I’m worried about.” I bit on my lip. I knew he didn’t trust my parents to keep me safe but I promised him I would be careful and besides, Zion was here with me. ” I’m okay, just missing you.” the words slipped out after a little hesitation and I could hear him curse. I used to hate those words a lot but hearing it from Roman gives me a different feeling.

“Roman, alpha Thomas is almost here.” I heard Vincent’s voice.

” I love you, ” I said immediately knowing he was going to hang up.

” I will call you back.” He hung up and I sighed staring up at the beautiful scene before me. I didn’t know how long I was going to stay here but I didn’t want to stay far away from Roman. It choking to imagine the distance between us.
