The Alpha’s Arranged Bride

Alpha Caramel’s POV

I was surprised by what she said. This has been all I have ever wanted: a lady who would share the same view as me when it came to the pack. The general welfare of the pack is something I have always cared about since I was little.

I did not want a lady or a Luna who only cared about money and herself but someone who cared about the people because a ruler is meant to serve the people. If not for them, there would be no need for an Alpha, and that was the most important thing.

Not many people understood this. Most of the ladies I have come across all wanted to show their dominance when it came to being Luna. That was what they cared about. Maybe that was why I never had any interest in them.

Selena had that view, and for some time, it felt like she was the only one who understood that. That was one thing about her that I liked. After she passed away, I couldn’t find many qualities in women that appealed to me, so I remained unmated and unwilling to choose a mate for a considerable period.

When I met Lavender, I never really knew why I had this inkling to be with her. I wanted her so badly due to her caring heart and compassionate spirit. I wanted a woman who would help me take the pack to greater heights, and that person was right here.

I pulled her in and pressed my lips on hers, my hand moving up her beautiful body. She wrapped her hand around my neck, pulling me close. I trailed my lips to her neck, then nibbled on her ear and on the sensitive part of her neck before moving slowly to her breasts.

“You can if you want to. I don’t mind,” I finally said to her after breaking the kiss.

A bright smile appeared on her lips as she looked at me. Her smile was one of the greatest things I loved seeing. I pinched her cheeks with a smile. The next day came, and with my hands intertwined with hers, I led her into Mother’s office. With just a knock, she ushered us in. When she raised her head, she smiled instantly upon seeing both of us.

“Son, surprise seeing you both here,” she said, glancing from me to Lavender.

I pulled a chair for Lavender and she took a seat before I did. “Lavender wants to work here,” I informed her.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Mum turned to Lavender with a bright smile. “Really?” she asked, and Lavender nodded with a bright smile on her face. “That’s excellent,” Mum commented.

“I need to speak with the head physician,” I said.

Mum nodded and quickly called the head physician, and she was in the office in no time. “This is my wife, Lavender,” I introduced.

“Lavender, this is Carol, the head physician of the hospital,” I told Lavender.

Lavender smiled. “Nice to meet you, Carol,” she greeted.

“It’s my pleasure, Your Majesty,” Carol said with a bow.

“From today, she will be working under you and Mum. I need you to teach her and introduce her to everyone in the hospital. I need no complaints, okay? I need her comfortable. If you need anything, you can inform me,” I said, and Carol nodded.

I turned to Lavender. “She will give you a tour of the place for today. And no working today,” I said, glancing at Carol to ensure she heard me.

Lavender was starting today, and I don’t want her to get stressed out on the first day. Lavender chuckled, then nodded. “I’ll wait for you at home,” I said, and she nodded with a smile on her face.

I placed a kiss on her forehead before she was led out of the office by Carol. I could not help myself but stare at her back as she walked away from the office, a smile on her face as she listened to what Carol was telling her. That smile had remained plastered on her face from the moment she woke up this morning. If this was going to make her keep that smile, then she was going to have it without questions.

I kept staring, unable to keep my eyes off my beautiful wife. For a moment, I got lost doing so with a smile on my face. Carol was showing her an office, so she was still in sight for some time. I stared for five minutes without looking away.

“Have you told her yet?” Mother’s voice interrupted my thoughts.

I turned to her with a frown on my face. “What?” I asked.

She gave me the ‘seriously’ look, but I ignored her and filled her glass with some water, then took a sip. I didn’t want to know what she was referring to. Unfortunately, I did. The doctor had shown me a report that stated that she did not have normal human blood. After further analysis, it was discovered that she had a wolf, but something was suppressing it.

Mum quickly knew what it was, as she kept perceiving it each time she was around Lavender, and she came up with a crazy solution to it, which has been me remaining silent about it. “You know, acting like it does not matter does not mean that it actually doesn’t. You need to tell her now so she can begin treatment. I know you don’t want her to suffer, but that is the only way to set her free,” she said.

“I’ve heard you, Mum,” I said, my mood turning sour instantly and wanting to end this conversation as quickly as it came.

I hated this topic, and I did not want to talk about it, but Mum loved bringing it up always. Even if I try to avoid it, she pushes for me to listen to what she has to say about it. None of her words piqued my interest because she didn’t suggest anything worthwhile, like discovering a better solution. “You know you can’t mark her just yet to prevent it from having a permanent effect on her,” she added.

I nodded, placed the glass down, then stood up. “I’m going home now,” I informed her, then walked out of the office.

I plopped into my office chair, glancing at the pile of documents I needed to sign before the end of the day. I quickly got to work reading them, but Mum’s words kept replaying in my mind, making it difficult for me to concentrate.

I did not know how to go about telling Lavender about this. I did not want her to suffer, and the more I thought about it, the more I wanted her not to know. I knew one day she would find out, and certainly I would want to mark her and make her mine, but what could I do?

Tell her about it, and she becomes stubborn and chooses to go ahead with the treatment. Was I being selfish for keeping it away from her? I sighed, placing my back on the backrest of my chair. This was not going to be easy.

Sacrifices have to be made, but why can’t Mum find another way to help her? Why torture her to get it out of her? Again, I sighed. A knock came to the door, and my Beta walked in and bowed.

“The equipment has arrived and has been sent to the soldiers,” he informed me, and I nodded with my gaze lost for a moment.

“Asher, is there a way I can tell someone who thinks she is human that she is part of us and still convince her not to go for the treatment?” I asked him, my eyes still on the table.

“Who are you speaking about, Alpha?” he inquired.

“Lavender,” I replied.

“Lavender has a wolf?” he asked.
