ANNABELLA’S POV
” Is everything okay?” My mom asked and I nodded with a smile as I took my seat. Eating in silence didn’t seem to be enough because Olivia had to open her big mouth. ” How is it going between you and Alpha Roman, the beast alpha?” she whispered the last part sarcastically and shrugged a glared at her with a cold look.
” He is good.” I shoved food into my mouth without realizing the look on my father’s face. ” No way, don’t tell me you are in love with the beast!” Olivia exclaimed and I raised a brow. ” Why not?” Was she expecting me to be holding onto Summer like he was some diamond? Well, news flash, I was more than in love with Roman because we were made for each other.” Are you really in love with him?” She asked but I didn’t see the need to answer her.
” Has he been treating you well?” My father finally asked and I bit on my lips. He was the last person to care. ” Does it matter?” I asked, raising my head to look up at him.
He didn’t care when he gave me away so why did he care now?
” Eat your food, dear before it gets cold,” Mom said and I nodded with a smile, I could feel my father’s gaze throughout lunch as well as Summer’s.
I spent a few minutes in the garden immediately lunch was over with Zion trailing behind me. And when I asked him to rest he refused saying his work here wasn’t to rest but to look after me. I didn’t know why I felt like Roman didn’t trust my parents. I mean it was understandable but that was in the past.
What could my father possibly do to me? As far as I knew, he wouldn’t try anything especially when I was with Roman, I mean he was the most feared alpha with the largest pack. My father wouldn’t dare lay a finger on me, I folded my hands on my chest as I walked through the garden. I just wish my mom would get better soon.’ You miss him too.’ Eve admitted and I couldn’t help but recall the intimacy that transpired between us the night before I got the news of my mother.
I just loved that he was gentle and careful, he was never ruthless with me. Others may see him as a beast but to me, he was my angel!
” Enjoying your stay here?” I snapped out of my thoughts sensing the familiar smell.
” What do you want?” I frowned. I didn’t want Olivia to see him with me, he was her mate and I have long accepted that. The last thing I would want to do was upset myself, his present was the last thing I needed.
” I can’t believe you are here.” He said and I narrowed my eyes. ” Don’t worry, I will be out of here before you know it.” I scoffed. ” It has not been the same without you.” I raised a brow, not sure if I heard him right.
” You don’t have to feel guilty, I don’t need your pity.” besides, I have long moved on.
” Don’t worry, alpha Christopher, and I have figured out a way to save you. Soon you won’t have a reason to get back to him again.” he sighed, his eyes staring back at my face.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
” What do you mean?”
” Soon, very soon you will know.” he turned around and left as if I didn’t deserve an explanation.
My frown gaze followed his back until he was out of sight, the fact that I didn’t understand him didn’t mean I didn’t hear him.’ I think you should talk to Roman.’ Eve suggested it but I didn’t think it was a good idea especially when Roman was busy with pack users.
His decision to rebuild the old alliance with the Blood Moon pack which happened to be one of the strongest packs in the country wasn’t going to be easy. ‘ It’s better if we don’t disturb him.’ I stared at the screen of my phone eager to hear from him but I didn’t want to interrupt his meeting. What if he was still in a meeting? It was barely an hour since I spoke to him. Maybe being apart from him wasn’t a good idea perhaps I would consider the next time I have to take a trip like this.
I put the phone back in my pocket and headed back to my room.
I read a few of my old books and didn’t know how I went to sleep.
Feeling someone touching and sniffing my hair. I called Roman’s name thinking it was him, It started getting a bit uncomfortable when I felt someone kissing my neck.
A frown settled on my face as I wondered who it could be, I didn’t know how but I suddenly pulled out of my sleep. and found no one in the room.
Probably it was a dream. I pushed my hair back from my face and let out a heavy breath.
I wondered when I saw the opened door! I recalled closing the door before.
My gaze stared at the slightly opened door with a confused brain.’ Did someone come in here?’ I didn’t know if I was asking Eve but it felt like someone had come here. There was no smell or anything but I could feel the weird touch.
I sighed as I ran my fingers through my hair. ” Get up Ana, mom wants you downstairs.” Olivia’s voice rushed through my ears as she peeked through the slightly opened door.
I sighed as I unconsciously stared up at the black clock on the wall at my left. I stopped myself from falling from the bed and when I noticed the closer window.
” I didn’t close that.” I shook my head, perhaps I was hallucinating. ‘ I remember you didn’t close that. ‘ Eve agreed.
Did someone come in here? ‘ Do you smell anyone, Eve?’ I asked but she shrugged telling me to gather my stuff and get out of the shadow pack as if it was possible. ‘ You didn’t mean that.’ I got off the bed and went into the bath to wash my face and put my hair back together. ‘ In everything I say, Bella. I don’t trust anyone in the alpha family. I think they are hiding something from you.’ I shook my head. ‘ The only thing they are hiding from me is my mom’s illness.’ I splashed water on my face and tied my hair together after.
” I wouldn’t have bothered you if I knew you were sleeping.” Mom said as I stepped down the stairs. She was setting the dining table with the help of an omega.” It’s okay. I’m just happy to help.”
I followed her to the kitchen and I couldn’t help but raise a brow. ” Is there some sort of occasion going on?” I didn’t understand what all this food was for. Was there any occasion going on that I didn’t know about?
” I made all your favorite foods.” She smiled urging the omega to carry the food to the dining. I just hope you will like them.” She said with a bright smile but looking at the texture of the food I couldn’t say I wouldn’t like them.
” Maybe you should let me do that.” I grabbed the apple from her hand .” You should watch and take a break.” preparing all those dishes should be exhausting.
” Don’t worry about me, I will be fine.” She creased my hair at the side of my face affectionately. ” The pack needs you now, Ana.” She said with sad eyes and I frowned. ” You are the only one who can help the shadow pack pick up its glory.” She added and I felt that was strange.
Because I was nothing to the pack in the past and would never be something.
“Is everything okay?” I was more confused as to what she meant by those words. What was I not aware of? ‘ I think we should call Roman so he can come and get us out of here.’
‘ Can you stop this!’ my mom just said the pack was in trouble, how did she expect me to just leave?
They were my family and my mom wasn’t good yet. ” Your father will tell you everything that you want to know. Just hold on and don’t leave as again. Your father has promised to fix everything and I believe he will do it ”
” Fix what?” I didn’t understand, what exactly was my father going to fix. Her hands slipped into mine and she pulled me into a hang. ” He will fix it, you will see.” she whispered.
What was my father going to fix? Why couldn’t she tell me herself?
” Sorry, I will get the dessert out of the oven.” She pulled away leaving me to battle with my thoughts. What was happening?
” Mom!’ I ran to her side just as I heard her hissed in pain. ” You burn yourself.” I grabbed her hand and just like that a red glow appeared and the burn on her hand disappeared in seconds. ” What just happened?” Her eyes widened as she gazed at me in disbelief.
” How is that possible?” I didn’t know how but I guessed I just healed her. ” You are a healer?” She asked and I frowned.
” When did you see your wolf?” My father’s voice came from the door and I snapped my head to him. ” You didn’t tell us you have shifted.”
” I didn’t think it was necessary.”
” It matters a lot, especially now ” he declared and I stared back at my mom who was staring at me with relief. What is the goddess name that was going on in this pack?
