The Alpha’s Arranged Bride

LAVENDER’S POV

This action of his was really disturbing to me. I stared at the door for some time. I couldn’t hold him back or follow him immediately after he left the room. I sucked in my breath, trying to make myself feel better about this, but I knew if I did not have his approval, I would not be able to do it.

As husband and wife, we were partners in every sense, and I expected us to be united in our decisions. We were supposed to be a team, working together to find common ground and come to a mutual agreement. It cannot be one-sided.

I did not want to have any issue with him. What was he scared of? Delilah did not make mention of the possibility of the antidote killing me. It was merely pain and yes, I did not like pain, but I would scale through for us.

I paused, unable to make up my mind on what to do now. I turned my attention to the potion, which was open in my hands, and I took my gaze to Delilah. “Am I doing the right thing? Is he upset because it is wrong?” I asked her, unsure of myself.

Delilah smiled, shaking her head as she took a seat on the bed. “You are not doing the wrong thing, child. You just want to get your wolf. My son is only worried about you. He knew about this a long time ago when he thought you were ill. I gave him the solution without hiding anything, and he was not too happy to know that you will go through pain to get your wolf’s back,” she told me.

“But it is the only way?” I asked her.

She nodded with a smile. “It is the only way. He asked me to find other ways; less painful to no pain at all ways to make you better. I did my research even though I knew there was no other way. I tried for days to weeks, but this is the only way which is what I had told him, but he has failed to take that answer. He still wants me to keep searching, but you need to understand that you must set your wolf free now. Later, might hurt you in ways you could not imagine,” she explained, and I understood.

She did not have to tell me twice. Since I knew about it now, I was going to address it. I needed to do it. I knew Caramel was not one to back down so easily. He was a strong and fearless man, but there were a few things he did not like, and most of which involved me.

I sighed, then shut the potion. “Please, can someone get him for me? I want to speak with him alone,” I said and Delilah got up first.

“I know you will convince him. He holds you dear in his heart,” she said, then left the room.

Mum squeezed my hand lightly before joining Delilah. I knew they could not say much in this situation. It only involved me and Caramel. Five minutes later, Caramel walked back into the room, his expression still the same.

“Come sit.” I tapped the spot beside me.

He did so in minutes. I moved closer to me, hands on his neck as I studied his eyes for a minute, then glanced at his lips. I repeated the process as I brought my lips closer and closer to his. The moment our lips met, his hand wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

He took over, and I parted my lips, granting him entrance into my lips. His hand roamed my body before getting into my thighs, squeezing it as he moved closer and closer to my entrance. He brushed his hand on the surface before inserting two fingers into me.

I threw my head back, his fingers thrusting in and out. He trailed his lips over my chest, his other hand taking down my zip to grant him access. His lips wrapped around my nipples, and he increased his pace.

I moaned lightly before his lips covered mine, muffling the next moans that escaped my mouth. I climaxed moments later, and he placed a kiss on my neck, trailing it back to my lips before pulling away.

I held his face, a bright smile on my face, before kissing him briefly. “I know you are worried about me. It is just a little pain and I can handle it. You do not need to worry about me,” I told him.

“I need to. You are my wife. My priority is seeing that you are not in pain. I just want Mother to find another way,” he said.

“There is nothing wrong with this, and she said there is no other way to get it done,” I told him.

“Then we wait,” he said firmly.

“You want the people to keep seeing me as weak?” I asked him, and he sighed.

“It’s not the same thing,” he said, and I smiled.

He was trying everything just so he did not see it the way it was. “It is the same thing. If I got my wolf, I would be considered part of the people. They would not isolate me because I am wolfless, an Omega. I want to be your Luna, Caramel. I really do,” I told him.

“And you will be,” He firmly said.

“Then allow me to do this. Just be with me. Trust me. Please. I’m sure I will be fine with you here,” I told him.

“If you feel any pain, do not hesitate to tell me,” he looked anxious about me.

He kissed me before letting me pick up the potion. He watched me closely as I drank the potion, took the cap, took the bottle from my hands, and placed it down. His eyes on me were sharp as he monitored my every move. I shrugged. “I feel nothing,” I said, but a loud bang interrupted my words.
