Arranged For The Cruel Alpha

ANNABELLA’S POV

During the whole time of training, I didn’t see Roman. I got to know the beautiful woman was Carolina, the new pack doctor. ” Be focused.” Beta Vincent growled as I immediately dodged his last attack which almost crashed my face.

Ahhh! Eve growled.

” Not bad for a first day.” He stepped back and I smiled panting, he took me off guard and I hardly got away. I couldn’t believe I was training like any other pack member.

A lot has happened in the past few days, it is hard to believe but I love the direction my life has taken.

It was a little hard to take in everything initially but now I was used to seeing Roman as my mate.

” We are taken that again,” he said with a small smile on his face and I shook my head while looking around at the dispatching pack members. ” Fifteen minutes extra for you, said the alpha.” I didn’t realize what he meant until I saw him take his stand, I frowned.

” Do we have to do it?” I asked, I had school and I was damn exhausted. My head was aching because of the little unfamiliar move I had been doing for the past hour. Eve has been a good help as she could predict some of his moves.” Alpha’s orders.” He reminded me, to take a better stand, left leg front and right leg back.

” Why would he do that?” I growled as I stared around the almost empty room, everyone was almost gone and I had to do fifteen more minutes. I knew I had always wanted my wolf but this was too much for a new shifter. I just shifted and goodness sake my body was screaming in pain

Training for the whole morning was certainly not what I hoped for. I was a bit nervous and slightly happy when I thought of being like everyone else but now, I didn’t know anymore.

” I’m just fulfilling my alpha’s orders, you better not get on his bad side.” He threw a punch at my face which I dodged effortlessly and my sudden move surprised me.

It was my first time training and I knew I shouldn’t be shocked since I used to watch my father train Olivia every morning so did the other pack members.

I did wish to be like Olivia and be trained by my father. Whenever I saw them training, I get this want in me but I knew it wasn’t possible because I was nothing more than a wolf-less bitch to them.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

” Who cares about getting on his bad side?” I moved to the other side to get myself to safety. Beta Vincent was fast and very experienced. I could tell he was taking it easy on me, he was forcing himself to take it slow I thought he forgot and moved faster at times but I was learning well. ” Ever trained before?” Beta Vincent asked and I shook my head as I stepped back a little to dodge his punch. ” Never? ” He asked and I replied.” Watched pack member train.” my panting became more exhausting as I struggled to stand still on my aching feet.

I didn’t know why he was asking, he didn’t seem remorseful. I was glad he thought I was doing great.

” Did it have anything to do with your wolf?” he asked as I threw a punch his way just like ye thought me.” They believed I was wolf-less.” I shrugged. ” Including alpha Christopher?” he seemed surprised but I didn’t think there was anything to be surprised of.

My father was the worst of them all. He could have stood up for me, he was the alpha but he didn’t. He let his pack members bully me all that they wanted.

” Shadow pack has indeed lost a treasure.” he scoffed.

” Shadow pack has enough pack members to even care about me “My exhausted body fell to the ground. ” You don’t know what you are ” I raised my head in his direction with a confused look on my face.

” Did you say something?” I wasn’t sure what I heard but I think I did hear something.

” Beta Vincent….”

” It’s Vincent who for you.” he strode towards me and I got on my feet so I wouldn’t be taken off guard. Rule number three: Always keep your guard up.

” That is all for today,” he said and I dropped my hand and loosened my fist. A sigh of relief left my mouth, I was exhausted as hell.

” I hope I will see you here tomorrow.” as if he knew what I was thinking. l, but that was if I had my way.

” Do I have a choice?” I mumbled.

I wasn’t surprised to find the training ground quiet and empty after all, the devil decided to extend my torture.

” Your wolf is strong.” Beta Vincent said as we set to leave the training ground. “You think so?” I was glad to hear that. Having a strong wolf was every wolf’s dream. Besides, no one would want a weak wolf because a weak wolf was as good as a dead wolf

” I believe so.” He said, turning his head to look at me. ” I’m glad I was able to impress you.” I didn’t expect much when I set to come to the training grounds, especially a complement from the beta of the strongest pack.

” Are we going in the same direction?” I was curious.

” Seeing you off,” he mumbled with a passive expression. he seemed a lot different from the friendly beta I was having a chat with earlier.

” That is not necessary, I have got this.” He didn’t seem to take my word for it. Roman might have instructed him to be my guard. What else did he have install for me?” I’m sure you have other staff to take care of.” I gave him a side look before taking off, making sure he wasn’t following.

It was already awkward having to train with him but I enjoyed my first day aside from the new pack doctor who for some reason seemed to be into Roman. I didn’t know if I was overthinking things but I didn’t like her, especially with the way she smiled at him.

” You are back?” Madeline’s voice boomed across the room as I slammed the door behind me.” Training ends exactly six, you are twenty minutes late.” She noticed and I couldn’t help but slam into the chair with a huge sigh slipping out of my mouth. ” You look terrible, was it that bad?” She said with a smile that made me roll my eyes. ” Maybe,” I said and her brow raised a little with a small smile on her face.” Take some water” She handed me a glass and I grabbed it. ” What did he do to you?” She seemed to have an idea of what could have possibly happened and I wasn’t shocked because she knew him better than I did. What a devil he was.

” He made me train for an additional fifteen minutes.” I told her with a frown and Madeline parted my shoulder. ” It gets tougher at times.” She said and I turned my head with a confused look on my face.” You meant that?” I didn’t know if I understood what she meant but I felt like I had to say something. ” He needs you stronger, you are his mate,” she whispered as she strode back to the kitchen.

Needs me tougher indeed!

Why didn’t I think about this? I immediately recalled Carolina’s looks and I frown appeared on my face. She was around his age and no doubt stronger, I couldn’t help but watch her throughout the training session. She was a good fighter and very beautiful too.

Did he like strong women just like Carolina? ” breakfast is almost ready, dear!” Madeline’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I remembered how much I needed a bath.

” A good bath will do!” I dragged my tired body towards the stairs. I wished I didn’t have to climb any stairs, my whole body was aching and the stairs were the last thing I needed.

I picked up my phone to check the time only to realize I had a few minutes to leave for school. I didn’t know if Roman was going to drive me to school today since he was the one driving me all this while.

I ran downstairs in blue jeans and a yellow T-shirt with my bag around my shoulder, forgetting my aching body. Maybe I was excited to ride with him at least I would get to smell him. ” Your drive is waiting outside ” Madeline yelled from the kitchen the minute I grabbed the tea on the table.” I will take just bread.” I said happily as I couldn’t wait to see him, a few minutes was like a whole year. I took the bread and headed outside through the elevator.

I didn’t know how I felt seeing Zackery standing beside the car. ” Are you disappointed?” He walked over and grabbed the door open for me. ‘ What happened to Roman driving us?’ Eve asked but I didn’t have answers to her question. I saw him this morning at the training grounds, and his action towards me was unexpected.
