ARRANGED MARRIAGE: LOVING THE MASKED ALPHA. CHAPTER THIRTEEN.
Andrea~*Months ago...Karen and I took a walk in the woods, holding a pic in basket in our hands. We wanted to spend the entire evening together, it was something we hadn’t done in a long time and after now we weren’t certain when next we’d be able to do it again.“I love the evening breeze,” I said as waves of cold breeze washed over me. Karen turned to look at me and smiled.“I love it too,” she said.We walked till we reached a clearing, the same clearing we had been having our picnics from when we were little girls.I helped her spread open the picnic mat over the open ground and placed the basket on it.We both settled down on the mat and I opened the basket to bring out the fruits and foods that we had packed specially for the occasion.“Do you love Jackson?” She had asked me. It was a personal question that no one had asked yet. I knew it was quite evident to the people around that both of us had something strong going on even though we hadn’t confirmed that we were meant to b

Andrea~Have you ever experienced those moments where you clearly just heard a statement but disbelief makes you question the clarity of your hearing.“Come again?”As the words left my lips, he stared at me like I had grown two heads in addition to the one he was used to seeing me with.“Let’s start from the top,” he said instead and I nodded, we could start from anywhere as long as it helped cleared this air of confusion hovering above my head.My nightmares were finally coming true, I’d be a breeding dog for the alpha and the elders of this pack. Technically I’d be breeding for the alpha only but that didn’t make things sound any better.“Here is this pack, violence at the alpha’s home is prohibited,” he began and I frowned. I wasn’t aware of those rules and Shirley, the gods help Shirley for not telling me about them.“I did not even know such rules existed Alpha Ronin,” he glared at me but I could care less.“It’s a things of common sense my lady, why would you be battling your s

RONIN. As she glanced down at the length of her skirt and stomped out of the room with the tray in her hand, I sighed.I was getting better at pissing her off that I could probably win the prize for it if there was a contest.I sat down back on the bed tiredly and placed my head in my palm.Why the fuck had such verdict spewed out from my mouth?In an instant I was transported to the days before I became an alpha.*“Ronin, what happened to your shirt?” My mother asked concern in her voice.For the first time since I had stepped out of the house that day, I glanced down at my shirt that ‘was white’ as it now looked brown like I had gone for a dip in the swine with pigs. Frey’s, the servant tasked with taking care of me at all times rushed in looking distraught. I had ran off after using my mother’s cloak to mask my scent to go wrestle with a few friends.“Nothing,” I grumbled and my mother frowned, obviously not believing me and turned to Freya.“What happened to Ronin?”Freya bowed

ANDREA.I stormed out of my room, still pissed from what had happened back there. I knew for a fact that if I swept this under the carpet and didn't go back there to let him know that I wasn't going to straight up accept anything that was thrown at me like some slave, it might even get worse. And no matter how much I tried to hold myself, and tell myself that this might escalate into something worse, I knew I couldn't. He had touched the chord with me and there was no way I was going to that slide, because there were going to be future implications as well. And I didn't want any of that happening to me. I quickly made my way down the passageway, simmering like a brimstone.I could feel the stares of the servants in the Packhouse as I made my way past them, ignoring their greetings and refusing to acknowledge their bows. I was more interested in getting to Ronin's room and letting him know that I wouldn't settle for any nonsense that was thrown at me by him and his council. I knocked

ANDREA.His grip on my neck was unyielding and I could mentally see the veins in my forehead and neck pop out as he continued to choke me. He had a very disappointing look. "Let go of me m, you sick fuck!" I growled, glaring at him from the position he had put me in. I couldn't move an inch because of the way he held me tightly. I feared that if he had me that way for a little too much, he might wound me. "Are you deaf?!" I growled again, watching as he continued doing his thing. "Shut up or I will make it worse for you. You think you can run your mouth whenever you want, right?" He asked, his jaw tightening and the veins in his temples became very visible. "Well, I'm going to teach you a lesson that you will never forget. Maybe before you open your mouth to talk to me, you will think twice about it. I've been quiet for too long and you thought it was your opportunity to say whatever you wanted to say to me. I'm going to let you know that you don't have the right to do that here, and

RONIN."Damn it!" I yelled in anger before grabbing the glass from the counter and throwing it across the room. It crashed by the window side and scattered all around the room. I shook my head, finding it hard to believe that it had happened, yet again. I had allowed my crude instinct to take over me and do the things I despised so much. I hated the fact that I couldn't control myself the whole time it happened. All I could do was struggle to come back to my resolutions at that time, but it just seemed impossible. It felt as if I was controlled by an outer, powerful force, one I could do nothing to stop. And now as I looked back at that moment, I felt so empty and shocked, and all my emotions seemed so vague. I couldn't bring myself to talk to anybody at this point. Without another word, I hit the wall with my firmly clenched fingers, but at the same time I knew it couldn't be reversed now. It had happened and there was no way I could change the hands of time. I remembered how sh

-CHAPTER 19-ANDREA.Everything about the room, despite the inner turmoil I was going through, added in the sadness that had wrapped itself around me. I was hurt and utterly disappointed by the things I had been subjected to in the past few days. My heart was heavy and it was all burdened by the weight of the choices I couldn't undo. I just wanted somewhere or something to do that would purge my heart of the anger that was clogged deep down. And the worst thing about this was the fact that the terrible feeling kept increasing with each passing moment. For the first time since I arrived here, I was regretting that I had taken my sister's place, but it was like a spilled cup of milk- you couldn't gather it back. I shook my head in pain as I remembered all that had preceded this moment. I could still hear the echo of Ronin's anger in my head. At times I would get up and pace around the room like a caged beast, wishing that it would blow the cobwebs away, but it wouldn't

CHAPTER 20- RONIN.A whisper swept through the Pack meeting hall as I presented the matter on ground. Unlike other secret meetings, the guards were around this time, and were standing on every corner of the room. The hall was echoing with the low hums of the elders who were gathered as they rubbed minds together to make a reaction about what was going to be done after the recent attacks. Their weathered faces were filled with the wisdom of years spent leading our community alongside their Alpha, so I had gathered them together with the generals. I watched as the murmurings continued for a while, and I guessed it was going to be best if they brought their resolutions to me later on. The air was filled with so much tension with the death of Mathew, one of my best men. It was a total shock, and I had spent a day or two, wondering how it had happened. I rushed to the scene the moment my Beta informed me about it, and I found out that a couple of other warriors had been killed as well

-CHAPTER 39-VALERIE.The ripple of shock that ran through me when he had said that froze me for a moment. I couldn't understand what was happening. I was more than shocked as he deflected my plea and came up with the same old bullshit of making sure that he doubled the security and made sure that they guarded me at all times. What had the security he had employed to guard done when I had gone out there in the woods and faked it all without any of them seeing me or stopping me before I did it. I watched as he made his promise of going to look for whoever had done this time and tracking them down. He had no idea that he was being sent into a wild goose chase. I was happy that he would come back with no single proof or track as to who had done it. He would come back tired and frustrated. And that was exactly the same way he looked when he came back the next morning to talk to me and see how I was doing. He was tired and he looked quite frustrated like the whole thin

-CHAPTER 38-RONIN.Shocked was too weak a word to describe the way I felt the moment I laid my eyes on Valerie who was sprawled on the ground. Her form painted a clear picture of vulnerability and it hit me like a freight train. I was so confused and shocked as it began to sink in that she had been attacked. But how? By who? How was that even possible and what was she doing in this part of the woods away from the Packhouse? I guess she came around to have some fresh air and reconnect with nature. It wasn't far from the Packhouse so I shouldn't be so concerned. My protective instincts immediately surged to the forefront and I cared immediately while giving orders to the guards who were beside me now. I couldn't stand the sight of her lying down there, asking the guards to move away from her. "What happened to you?" I asked, moving close to her but I berated myself immediately for asking her the question. It was clear that she was hurt and wouldn't be able to answer the question.

-CHAPTER 37-VALERIE Anticipating his visit tomorrow made me so excited and I could not stop wondering how my planned spectacles would change basically everything about us. But first I had to make sure that I planned everything meticulously and there was not a single chance that anything fishy would be detected. I set up for many hours that night thinking about what I was going to do to make him know that the Threat was real and I could fall in danger even when it seemed impossible. Unfortunately I had to sleep off that night with nothing planned because I was so excited that I found it hard coming up with a very good plan that would help me facilitate my mission.I eagerly continued to await his arrival while consequencing what the impact of my carefully crafted performance would do between the both of us and also his relationship with that bitch. I simply could not wait. My maid had already taken care of everything when I got up the next morning, just as he had p

CHAPTER 36-RONIN.I started for her immediately, but I also had it in mind to keep my space and not approach her too much. I stood behind her, watching her every move as she began walking around. "I don't think i have all day, Valerie." I said to her, wanting to leave this place. I could no longer weather the way I felt right now. I just wanted to leave and have some moment of rest, away from the troubles that plagued me right now. I just wanted to go, but she was making sure that those feelings got more intense. As soon as I had said the word to her, she turned around immediately with a sly smile on her lips and began to approach me. She didn't say anything, which only made me more angry. Did she think I was here to make jokes with her or play games? I didn't want to voice out my anger at this moment because she would have enough reason to rant that I was not caring enough or that I was desperate to kick her out of my life, which wasn't what I wanted to hear. It was horrible when

RONINValerie's room felt a bit suffocating as I made my way through the door. I had no idea if it was because of the work I had been involved with all day or if it was because of the emotions that choked me the moment I remembered that I had made a terrible mistake and she was capitalising on it.I couldn't let her down, so I had to play by her rules now and see where this would take me. Her eyes brightened as she looked up at me, instantly acknowledging my presence. "Hey, you came!" She said excitedly with a radiant smile which was a sharp contrast to what I felt inside. I also knew that the way she presented herself now might not be the way she truly felt inside, sometimes I felt it was just one of her weak attempts to manipulate me into actually caring. I nodded before flashing her a very weak smile. "Yes." I said, releasing a weak sigh before walking to the bed where she was sitting. She got up from the bed and gave me a hug which I forcefully and awkwardly gave her back befo

CHAPTER 34-RONIN."Tell me you're going to do something about this." She said, looking me in the eye as she spoke to me. I returned her gaze, not wanting to lie to her that I was going to do something about it when it was clear that she wasn't saying what I wanted to hear. It might not be true what had happened, so I wasn't going to do anything unless I had found out if she was telling the truth or not. By the way, doing something about it didn't mean punishing Andrea to her taste. I nodded and flashed her a small smile before brushing back her hair behind her nape. She gave me a sweet smile before I said. "I will, you don't have to feel sorry for yourself about it. I want you to take care of the baby and visit the hospital often so they can update you on things you need to do. I'll be here to offer any sort of assistance if you need me to." I finished and watched as she nodded her head, smiling happily from my promise. The most important thing was that she was happy. It didn't l

CHAPTER 33-RONINI stood at the spot, rooted in shock for a moment or two before I turned back slowly, hoping that I had misheard her. I could hear my heart beginning to race a bit fast now, which was unlike me. I steaded my emotions immediately and kept my expression stoic, but it was a different story altogether deep down. I couldn't grapple with what she had just said, but just to confirm if that had been a cruel joke or something of that sort, I asked. "I don't understand what you mean? I think I misheard you." I said, unable to hide the worry in my voice. She rolled her eyes before giving me a knowing look. "You heard me right. I wasn't joking and neither did I have water in my mouth when I said that. But in incase you want me to repeat it again, here you go. "I am pregnant with our child." She said, rolling her eyes a second time as her words echoed, reverberating through my mind as I thought about it. How was that even possible? I asked myself, filled with shock and surpri

-CHAPTER 32-RONIN"You still haven't told me what I wanna hear, Valerie. I'd suggest you stop being cryptic and tell me what you mean. Or else you're just trying to cover up for the stupid mistake you just made. You think I am stupid? Is that what you think of me?" I asked, looking her deep in the eye. But it didn't seem to affect her at all, she instead seemed to be amused by the way i spoke to her. .I wished she would just stop with her attitude and tell me what I needed to hear. "I don't think you deserve to know anything about it now. Maybe you should wait, and when you find it out yourself, you will be happy that I kept it from you all this while." She said, before she walked up to me and began to trail her finger across my buttons. I was choking back the anger that was trying to eat me up right now. Did she take me for a child, or a serf that can be manipulated emotionally anyhow she wanted. And that had me wondering if what she wanted right now was for me to beg her to tell

-CHAPTER 31-RONIN"I am going to ask you for the second time, answer my question and stop changing the damn topic." At this point I was doing everything to get out of the shitty situation that I had just found myself in. But how was this even possible? How could she have known it? Had the guards said something to her, or was there a secret informant that could be feeding her with some information. Her maid? The thoughts kept running in and out of my mind as I desperately tried to go back to the other topic.There was no way I could lie now, and that was because Alphas never did, and it would hit my reputation like a ton of bricks, and that was something I didn't want. "I never knew you were this evil! I trusted you, but I never knew you were different. So you mean go tell me that you sleep well and you are not even bothered after what you have done to me? The promises that you made to me. They were all empty lies and empty promises that were meant to just keep me elated and happy
