ALPHA ROMAN’S POV
” What will happen when Juliet recovers her memories and finds out she is your betrothed?” Vincent asked, but I didn’t have any answer to that. I did know that but I did know that Bella and I wouldn’t part ways, at least not in this life.
We were fated mated and that would never change.
” You don’t know?” he sighed. I fucking didn’t but that didn’t mean I would let the past fuck up everything for me.
Juliet would have to accept that I fucking have a mate who was going to be my fucking Luna. Once she completed college, I would announce her position to the entire pack, and from there, she would take up her duties.
” What about you send her out of the pack first?” Vincent suggested but that wasn’t a fucking option.
I still needed to find out who killed my father and his Luna. Frank, my uncle, was a suspect, but who else was involved? I knew Frank alone wouldn’t be able to pull that plan and he wasn’t a fucking black wolf. I was the only black wolf in the entire region, so it was possible whoever did the killing wasn’t from this part of the country.
I leaned back in my seat with a nonchalant expression. “You don’t want to let her out of your sight?” He asked and I could feel his curiosity, but I wasn’t ready to explain myself to anyone. Juliet was my sister aside from this betrothal shit that my father fucking pulled on us, which I was against every bit of it till the last moment; she was also the only person who survived the attack that night and probably knew something.
She was the only one who could prove my guess right and lead me right to whoever planned that attack.” If you are worried about the secret behind Alpha Stephen’s death, I will suggest …”
” Giving keep your suggestion to yourself!” I growled as I was well aware of what he was going to say. ” Bella isn’t allowed into that house no matter what, I’m I clear?”
What the fuck was wrong with him?
I wouldn’t risk her life for anything. I was ignorant the first time but not anymore. ” I understand you are not getting her involved, but think of the damage that Juliet’s presence can do to her.” He sounded serious as if he knew something that I didn’t.
I frowned.
” Spill it out.” I ordered and he stared away from me.” I’m not sure, but I think she knows where you were yesterday.” He said and I narrowed my eyes as I recalled her usual act yesterday.
First, she flew from the office after I practically ran to come see her when I heard she was here waiting for me, but what did I get? She fucking ran away with that look of disappointment in her eyes.
When I managed to pull out of my work schedule, I found the door locked, and I had to get the spare key from my office.
Why the fuck didn’t I realize it?
” I don’t know, but she was fine when I got in, but she suddenly turned cold.”
” Fuck! Her powers are kicking in faster than they should.” I growled as I ran a hand on my face. ” What has her powers gotten to do with this?”
” She fucking tapped into your memories.” I snared, wishing I could just kick him in the head without killing him. ” She can do that too?” Vincent seemed surprised, but yes, her powers were scarier than anything, and the more she recovered them, the more dangerous it got for her.
” Damn! The Luna is fucking great!” Vincent complimented, and I shot him a cold look that shut him up for good.
There was no time; I needed to get to the bottom before Bella fell into any kind of danger, and without Juliet, there wouldn’t be anything from what happened that night. She was the only living witness there was and the only one who could give a clue without putting my mate in danger.
I couldn’t handle the thought of something happening to her. It would fucking kill me if any harm comes to her so I would take that risk.
I was willing to put up with everything and wait for Juliet to recover her memories. It was just like killing two birds with one stone. I get to take care of her and I also get information from her while I do that.
” I can’t put her in danger no matter what,” I told him and he nodded.
” Do you think she misunderstood anything?” I asked Vincent and he shrugged.
I checked the time, and it was almost time to pick up my mate from school. It was our first date together and I have made sure everything was well taken care of.” Are you going somewhere?” Vincent asked as I left my seat in a hurry. ” I will pick Bella up from school,” I replied as I strode out of the office.
I have been looking up to this since morning and I was finally done waiting.
Fuck!
I couldn’t believe I was this eager to meet her after spending the whole night with her in our room. That wasn’t just eager but desperate, I fucking missed her like hell, and I couldn’t do the fuck about how I felt.
‘ She is our mate.’ Xade growled in my head and I fucking snored in agreement. ‘ She must be missing us too.’ that was certain because I saw how eager she was to find out the damn surprise I had prepared for her.
I just thought to satisfy and meet up to her standards. You could fucking call me desperate, but I was fucking eager to satisfy my mate and make sure she didn’t seek anything from any outsider.
I wanted nothing but to be the only man of her dreams and the one person she would ever have her best moments with. And if possible the only male she would ever smile to.
I wanted to be the only one for her which I was. I was ready to move heaven and earth to keep her close to me and myself.
The last thing I needed was to have her fall into some boy’s trap.
She was young and I understood how girls her age yarn for life and a free relationship. I didn’t know her to be the luxurious type, so I could only arrange a date for us. I knew how much she enjoyed alone time with me, so I decided to pull this surprise for her.
A date was always how many relationships start; though we were already into it, it was never too late to bring in a bit of life to spice things up. I was sure she was going to love it, and I couldn’t wait to have her on this date.
I have been waiting the whole day for this and now I was finally going to get over with it. I could feel my nerves setting in.
I was fucking nervous and it was unusual. I guess with Bella anything could be expected.
She was the only female who brought the sides of me that I never knew existed. Everything about her fascinates me, and I would fucking blame it on the mate bond.
I sighed as I pulled the car door open. Maybe I should calm down first before I scare her away.
I was the most feared alpha in our world because of the false reputation of me killing my father at the early age of nine and my uncle for the alpha title, but today I was fucking nervous because of an eighteen years girl.
What the fuck?
” Roman, I’m afraid you can’t leave now.” Vincent’s voice sounded from behind, and I turned to face him with a frown. ” What are you saying, do I need your permission before I go anywhere?” I almost snored, and he immediately shook his head. “It’s about Juliet.” He said and I sighed. ” Take care of it, I have to go,” I told him and was about to jump into the car when he fucking spoke again.
” I just got the news that Juliet was attacked by a rogue while running in the woods.” what the fuck did he just say?
” How the fuck did that happen?” the was guarded by warriors twenty-four-seven; how did a rogue gain access to the pack?
How the fuck did a rogue enter my territory without anyone noticing it?
” I don’t know the details, but it seems she was out of our territory,” Vincent added as if he was reading my mind and knowing the fucking question that was popping up. ” She is badly injured and she is currently under medical care.” Just what I fucking needed to hear.
” What about the fucking rogue that attacked her?” I started walking with Vincent behind me.” We couldn’t get hold of it because it wasn’t in our territory.” He explained, and as much as I wanted to understand, I couldn’t.
” Get the warriors to survey the place,” I ordered and Vincent replied.
‘ Roman, you need something?’ Zackery asked and I almost growl in the mind link.’ Get Bella into the pack.’ my voice was laced with a dark warning and he immediately understood what I meant.
” Doubt the warriors at the borders and make sure no one leaves the pack territory without my orders,” I instructed.
Juliet immediately apologized when I got to the pack hospital. Carolina had already bandaged her injured hand and I could tell she was doing okay
Even though she looked a bit pale and hurt.
