ANNABELLA’S POV
” Mr Roman,” I heard a slight knock come on the door, and a low growl slipped out of my mouth as I felt myself lose the warmth of me.
I turned on my side and pulled the sheet up to cover my head, but that wasn’t enough to send me back to sleep even though I tried to go back to my beautiful sleep until the sweet smell of cigarettes hit me. I moaned as I turned on my back to inhale it, it was the same smell I have been strangely addicted to.
I flipped my eyes open, d and the first thing I saw was his back; he was standing by the poo, l and his naked broad back was facing me.
A smile tagged on my lips as I set my feet on the cold clean floor.
With the white sheet wrapped around, e I started towards him.
The glass wall was already open, and the early morning sun was yet to shine. The cold air creased my ski, n and my hair swung behind me as I stepped out of the room to the poolside.
” Good morning.” He says as soon as I wrap my hands around his waist and rest my head on his broad back.
My eyes shut as I breathe in his scent.” Did my smoke wake you up?” He turned to face me after dropping the small piece of cigarette in his hand.
I didn’t know what was happening to me. I felt like a stranger in my own body, and it was crazy to think about it.
Eve giggled but I didn’t let her finish before blocking her away.
” How was your night?” He asked and I pushed more into him.” At least I don’t have to think about Juliet.”I murmured and he chuckled, holding onto my bare shoulder.” Juliet was the problem?” The sarcasm in his voice didn’t skip me but I still nodded.
I was jealous and he knows it now.
” Don’t worry I will take care of it.” He said and I frowned, looking up at his face.” I promise.” he added.” How are you going to do that?” my curious gaze didn’t leave him.
” I’m sorry I didn’t see this earlier.” He said and I frowned even more. What was he talking about?
‘ He knows.’ Eve whispered in my head, and of course, I was still confused as hell. What did she mean by he knew?
‘He knows what?’I demanded and I could feel Eve moving back to the back of my head, leaving my question unanswered.
Was she being serious?
” It’s my fault.” He dipped his hand in his pocket and pulled out my cell phone.
” You have seen them?” I asked, not sure if I was asking the right question. He couldn’t possibly have gone through my phone because he didn’t know my password.
Or maybe he knew?
As much as I hated Juliet, I didn’t want to jump in between her and Roman. He was the only one she had, and I didn’t want her to lose him too, of course as a brother.
As it was, the only clarity I needed was Roman’s words, nothing else mattered to me again. He wanted me and that was everything I wanted to hear.
” The pictures?” He ran his fingers in my hair and picked a strand between his fingers, his eyes swimming in emotions as he glared back at me. I didn’t know if he was disappointed in me for not telling him earlier or if he trusted Juliet.
” Vincent will take care of me.” he pulled me into his chest.
” What are you planning to do?” I asked, but he didn’t say a word, which didn’t make me feel any better.
” She will have to bear the consequences of her actions.” He growled and I lifted my head from his chest.
” Don’t worry about her.” He said, seeing the worry in my eyes, and I didn’t push it as I laid back my head on his hard chest.
” Mr. Roman.” the familiar female voice came in, and I was about to pull out of his chest when his hand tightened around my waist…
She was human, her smell was different from that of a werewolf.
” Everything is ready.” She said and I didn’t hear Roman’s reply, but that didn’t stop me from wondering what was going on.
” I would like to leave. Have a beautiful day.” I heard the door shut and the sound of her heels clicking on the smooth floor.
” I will help you take a shower.” I immediately stared up at him.” Shower?” he hemmed in reply, the corner of his lips curling slightly.
” What did you think?” He asked with a visible smirk on his face.
After taking a shower, I put on my old clothes, which I found on the bed, cleaned and ironed.
After putting on my clothes we headed out of the room. I asked Roman countless times about where he was taking me but he didn’t say anything and kept it to himself.
We walked along the beach hand in hand. It was my first time in human territory, and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
It was early morning, and there were only a few people around.
The glares we got from the fee people weren’t unhealthy because I caught two or three of the workers smiling at us.
” Are you hungry?” Roman asked after barely fifteen minutes of walking along the beach and I nodded.
” Let’s have breakfast then?” He pulled me from the shore.
I didn’t know where he was taking me until we got to the door of our room.
Breakfast was served at the poolside under a small umbrella that I didn’t think was there before.
” Do you like it?”
” I love the place and I like the food.” I didn’t know I was this hungry. Maybe because I didn’t eat enough last night, thanks to Zane.
” You own the place?” I took a sip of my tea. It wasn’t a question so I didn’t expect him to give a reply.
” It’s a nice place to have fun,” I said casually and what happened the next second was a surprise.
He grabbed my chair and pulled me towards him before pulling my arm and forcing me to crash into him. ” You want to have fun?” He sounded too serious for a mate but perfect for an alpha.
” Are you going to let me have fun?” I could feel my heart beating in my chest and the tangle shamelessly erupting through my veins, leaving me helplessly wanting more.
His dark blue eyes stared back into mine, and a huge knot appeared in my throat, t which I swallowed.
” When are we returning to the pack?” I asked, trying to get hold of myself.
He narrowed his eyes.” You don’t like it here?”
” Are you being serious?” It was a great place, no doubt but why were we here in the first place?
” You didn’t tell me what we are doing here?” I stared back into his eyes with a smile, loving the effect I was having on him.
” I want to make you happy.” He replied after a few seconds of silence.
My heart fluttered in my chest as I glared at his perfect face, which was next to none.
” I’m happy.” I would be, as long as there would be another Juliet in his life. ” I promise” he chuckled, licking the corner of his lips.
” There won’t be another Juliet.”
” Did I let you in?”
” You did.”
” What was the surprise you wanted to give me?” It happened so fast as my hand went into his hair from behind.
” I want you to be happy and safe.” why did I feel like there was something he wasn’t telling me?
His phone suddenly started to ring.
His brown pulled together as he placed the phone against his ears.
“Get the warriors ready,” he ordered, his voice cold and nonchalant.
And I had a feeling something wasn’t right.
