ALPHA ROMAN'S POV

“ She is in your wing,” Vincent, my beta and right-hand male, informed me. My back facing him with my front facing the window.

“ She seems calmer than I expected, though she is a beauty, “ he said in amusement, but I didn't flench. She was just a part of our deal, her place in this pack wasn't permanent because she would be out of here in a year!

Alpha Christopher was just a desperate man who would do anything to sustain his position and respect in his pack. It would be interesting to say he loved his pack, but a man like him couldn't love anything apart from himself, and that was an advantage for me. He could fuck up all he wanted. I wouldn't mind as long as he didn't fuck with me.

He didn't care much about his family or should I say his daughter? He was a fucking asshole, a power-hungry beast who was more interested in his position and respect in his pack than his position in his family.

I expected him to oppose when I demanded his daughter be my mate for a year and carry my heir but guess what, the man fucking agreed without a second thought, not like his pack was in bad shape.

And here she was. I gave him a week to deliver his daughter to my pack but he did it in two fucking days!

“ She….”

“ Enough” I cut him off before he could add more. I wasn't interested in anything about her after all, she was the daughter of her father. Men like Alpha Christopher deserve no respect, nor could they be trusted; nothing from them could be reliable.

It was easy for them to do anything for power and look away from the right things, not like I was any different but I wouldn't fucking sell my daughter. “ Make sure the money is sent to him immediately. '' I ordered since he had honored his side of the bargain there was no need to delay his money.

Though I could decide to not send the money to him after all his daughter was already in my pack and my room waiting for me to fuck her and release my seeds into her through her pussy I was a man of my damn words and I didn't intend to look back from what we agreed on. I would do exactly as promised, but if he took any wrong fucking step, I would fuck him up.

I wouldn't hesitate to have his head if he tried something funny. “ Sent,” Vincent said and my phone immediately started ringing. “ Alpha Roman '' his cunning tone reached my ears the moment I attached the phone to my ears. The joy and the excitement weren't hideous. “ I want to thank you for honoring your words. It is a pleasure to have a deal with you, alpha Roman” he said as if I was the kindest man on earth. I wasn't a fool to believe his polished tone. I knew how the world looked at me and the names that were laid out there for me, but I was pleased that none of these alphas spoke their mind before me.

I was well aware of how they addressed me behind my back. I was indeed the beast of the night but how could they call me that when none of them have set their eyes on me? How sure were they that I was a beast? “ You did your part,” I said, my cold deep voice slicing through the quiet room. I was labeled as the beast even though not many of them had seen me before.

I ate and slept in darkness because I was a rear bleed and almost impossible.

One of the things my uncle tried to use against me and stop me from taking part in the pack issues after my father died was my wild wolf. He tried to get me locked up for eternity, but I didn't let that happen. Thanks to him I got used to darkness.

My wolf wasn't a pure breed because of the different supernatural blood racing through my bones and that was more of a curse than a blessing.

Demons have no business with werewolves!

“ I hope Annabella hasn't created any scene,” he said and my lips parted, my eyes turned to gold hearing her name. “ Annabella,” I whispered her name in silence and shut my eyes to imagine what she looked like, and for the first time, I felt myself relaxing in my imaginary world.

Her name seemed to flench something in me, something foreign yet part of me. “ I wouldn't mind if you decide to punish her for every wrong she may do in the future,” he said and his eyes flipped open. “ She is no longer your responsibility!” I growled on the phone and the line went silent. “ Annabella..”

“ Say her name one more time and I will fuck you up!” I cut him off, and once again, the line went dead silent with only his breathing. “ Our deal is close, “ I said in a warning tone that surprised me. I didn't understand why I was overprotective of a woman I hadn't seen yet, but I guess I had every right to be because he fucking gave her away without trying to find another way to rescue his pack. Besides, I paid a huge amount of money. For her to be in this pack.

I was sure other alphas would lend him as much help as he needed but he chose the rough path, the darkest but easiest path.

“ I don't want to hear from you again,” I said coldly and handed the phone to Vincent who in return gave me a shocked expression. “ You don't mean what you just said,” he said but I didn't need to reply to him to assure him I meant it because I fucking meant it. Until the one-year deal was over, he had no fucking right to call me and ask me about her, and even at that, she would have to fulfill her side of the bargain,n, which was to give me an heir!

“ What if he calls her?” He asked but I didn't let out a word because I knew he wouldn't dare. He wouldn't try to go against me on purpose; he knew what I was capable of, hence I doubt he would ruin his luck.

“ What about her?” Vincent asked and I turned to face him. “ What do you mean?” I asked with a frown. “ What if she calls him instead?” he asked.

“ He can't answer, '' I said sternly and he nodded. “ I will make sure of that, '' he said before turning to leave my office.

Until the entire deal is done, he has no right to call or speak to her. Alpha Christopher couldn't be trusted, who knows what might be going on in his head?

I waited for night to fall before exiting my office. I headed to the alpha building and straight to my wing. I wasn't sure if I wanted to see her but I guess it would be fair to show myself to her. I was curious about the woman I was possessive of, I wanted to know what kind of a daughter alpha Christopher has even though the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I pushed the door open, and her sweet strawberry scent hit me, and my wolf growled in my head. ‘Mate, ‘ the word rang in my head, and I narrowed my eyes, trying to spot her in the darkness. Her scent was quite addicting, it was nothing I had smelled before, and I guess it had a lot to do with the fact that she was my fucking mate. Was this the best that could happen? The woman I purchased with my money to carry and bear me an heir within a year was my destined mate!

At that instant, my wolf pulled forward and I didn't fight him because I wouldn't win. Whatever he wanted, he got and I have long come to understand that.

My wolf took over completely the instant I pushed the bedroom door open. My gaze landed on the part of the room where her scent was heavy and that was the bed. She was fucking sleeping at this time, did she even have something to eat? I stepped closer and stared down at her through the darkness with my hands caged in my pocket. I could make out her faint breath aside from her beautiful innocent smell.

Staring at her through the darkness and listening to her faint study rhythmic breath. I was amused by her innocent thinking, I doubt she was anything like her coward of a father. I was expecting to see her awake and waiting but I guess I was wrong.

I dropped beside her on the bed as my hand went into her silky long hair. My eyes shut on the spot as I let myself inhale deeply her scent and a lot of growl slipped down my throat.

My left hand slipped to her tiny waist and pulled her to myself, my dick already standing erect and affected.

I felt her body move and I shut my eyes open. “ Don't move,” I commanded, and I felt her body stiffen. “ You smell good “ I complimented in a deep husky tone. My body pressed against her and my face buried in her hair.

Her strong strawberry scent engulfed me and I didn't know when I fell into slumber.

By the time my eyes opened, I felt the chipping of the birds and the sneezing of the early morning breeze. My eyes shifted to the window, and I noticed it was still dark outside, and she was still sleeping.

I slipped out of bed quietly, making sure not to wake her up.

I headed to my office where I met Vincent waiting for me. “ Should we be expecting an heir soon?” His voice crushed into me the moment I opened the door. “ Get someone to make her breakfast “ I instructed, shutting the door behind me. “ Your wing?” Vincent asked but I ignored him. “ Why do I feel you are bending your own rules?” He asked and I stared up at him while I sat comfortably on my chair.

“ Leave,” my cold voice made him shut his mouth, and the next minute he was out of my office.

For the first time in my life, I wished the blood moon was fucking over so I could leave the darkness in which I was bonded to. I wanted to see her often and I couldn't believe how I fucking missed her scent.

Day broke in no time, and all I could do was stare at the huge, packed building from my dark office. The process felt like an eternity for the first time; my wolf was restless for the second time in decays, and I knew she was the reason.
