The Alpha’s Arranged Bride

Lavender’s POV

The ray of hope I thought I had quickly disappeared before my eyes. I shut my eyes as the door came for my face with a huge wind and a bang. It missed my face by only a few centimeters. My heart fell to the ground. So it was true. I would not be able to leave the building as long as this Restrictor was around my arm. I thought I could do it. I thought this was finally the time to find an escape route.

I thought I would finally meet Caramel again. We have been separated for too long, and I miss him so much. I knew he was out there trying to get to me, and I had to help him by escaping this place and making it easier. But the plans I thought I had were shut. I didn’t know what to do. I could feel my eyes welling up.

“Seems you want to be punished.” I heard Alpha Toot’s voice behind me, and I tilted my head to the side over my shoulder to look at him with blurry eyesight due to the tears that had covered my eyes. In a minute, two guards approached me, then picked me up by the hand. I tried to pull away from them, but they lifted me off the ground.

“Let go!” I struggled with them. “Let me go. I want to go. I want to leave this place. I hate this place,” I kept struggling as I sobbed.

None of them listened to me. My struggles slowed them down, but it did not stop them. They had received the command from Alpha Toot, so why would they listen to me? I pulled, wiggled, shook, tried to hit them, but none of it worked. I was feeble when it came to them. Their body structure was different, and I did not have to be told that they were high-ranking guards.

When we got to my room, they tossed me on the bed, and I moved away quickly. I saw that as my opportunity, and quickly stood up, heading for the door. I was that determined. It might have failed before, but if I tried again, maybe it was going to work. Maybe I was going to get out of here when I try the second time on a roll. My mind was jumbled, and I wasn’t thinking straight, but that was not the main thing at the moment.

I needed to find a way to get back to Caramel. I missed him. I missed him. Caramel, and everyone in the Shadow pack, was my family, and I wanted to be with my family, and not here with people who did not care about me. They all wanted to subdue me. I could feel the hatred coming from everyone.

I could feel the judgment. I knew the servants thought I was an idiot for fighting, but I couldn’t care less. I wanted my freedom, and I was willing to fight for it. Why should I be kept here like some animal?

I took steps to the open door, and Alpha Toot appeared, blocking my path. The aura in the room completely changed as his eyes were red, and fixed on me with anger. My entire body shook in fright as he brought his hand towards my neck. I froze for a moment as I anticipated being strangled. I knew I had pushed him off the limit he could take. He was only pretending to care and want a relationship with me.

It was never true, and he wanted me to remain here forever. So my attempt must have pushed him too much. What did he think I would do? Remain put while he did whatever he wanted to do? He kidnapped me. He took me away from people that I knew and loved. He was a monster, and he could strangle me if he so wanted to, but his hand never got to my neck. He paused just before he could do it, then smiled before dropping his hand. He signaled the guards, and they picked me up again and tossed me on the bed.

I glanced from the guards to Alpha Toot, who now had both his hands behind his back. Fear was visible on my face and in my eyes. I did not know what he wanted to do, and I was scared. My heart was pounding in my chest. I got goosebumps just looking at Alpha Toot. That smile was filled with so much anger, and it proved that he was not happy no matter how much he was trying to mask it with a smile.

“You are tempting me, Lavender,” he said as he walked closer to the bed. I moved away from him as Finn walked into the room. When he saw me, he rolled his eyes in disgust and irritation. I knew Finn did what he did because of Alpha Toot, but he also had some sort of resentment against me, and I had no idea what it could be. I had never spoken to him before the day of the fight. I was most times in the Pack clinic, and I had no business with the gammas of the pack, so I had no idea what I might have done to make him hate me in such a way.

“You are testing my patience, and you should understand that I don’t take that very lightly,” Alpha Toot said, which made me return my gaze to him. I locked eyes with him for a few seconds before I spoke.

“What, what will you do to me?” I stammered, as my fear had blocked my throat. He lifted the side of his lips.

“Are you scared? So you didn’t expect any consequences when you made your escape plan?” he asked, and I swallowed as I pushed the upper part of my body back.

“She tastes no food or water until I say otherwise,” he told the guard, and they nodded in response. Finn cleared his throat and moved closer to him before whispering something in his ears. I had no idea what was said to him, but I knew that he was not happy with it because he immediately got angrier. He looked at me with a burning gaze. At some point, it felt like I could feel it overtaking my body.

He folded his fists without saying anything to me. It felt like he was contemplating what he wanted to say next. I could only stay silent and look at him while I waited for what he wanted to say. I did not know what to expect, and I did not know if it was going to be worse than what he had already said. He gritted his teeth. “Feed her, but she does not leave this room until I say so,” he said, then turned around and left the room.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

The guards followed behind him, and I tried to get to the door, but I heard the locks click. They locked me in. I started crying again as I walked to the bed. I laid on my side, folding my hands and legs as I cried my eyes out. I did not care if I did not eat or not. Food was not my sole concern at the moment. What I cared about was to leave this place. Why lock me up?

“I want to leave,” I muttered as I hit the bed. “I want to see Caramel,” I cried some more. I was on my own here. I didn’t want that. Was I never going to leave this place?
