The Alpha’s Arranged Bride

ALPHA CARAMEL’S POV

Was I overreacting? Maybe, but this was my wife we were talking about here. I hated seeing her like that. As soon as it was morning, she appeared healthy and showed no signs of illness. She looked perfect and healthy, but she needed that test to be done. Well, Mum insisted I got it done.

Her reasons for asking me to do that were unknown, and even after prying for long, she did not say anything. She instead just told me to do the test. I would have let it rest after the doctor had confirmed that she was okay, but Mum needed me to do more, so I did it.

However, a part of me was skeptical about this. I was concerned that she might have information she was withholding from me, and I didn’t like it. Lavender looked and has always looked fine. However, this behavior was something I had not noticed until now.

She quickly got ready and joined me in the car that my Beta had already prepared for us both. I refused to say anything about the test result and just concentrated on my wife, who was right beside me all this while.

Our hands were intertwined with each other’s, and I could not help but touch her face now and then. She would give me the brightest smile when I did so, and it only made me want to keep doing it.

“What?” she finally asked when I stared at her face for too long.

“I am just admiring my wife,” I said, with the side of my lips curved.

I could not wait to officially make her my Luna before everyone’s eyes. Everyone would know that she was mine, and I was hers. She was everything to me in just a matter of months. All I wanted was for the results to come out clean, like she had said. That way I would have the most peace of mind.

I do not know how I would feel if I were to know something too much was happening to her and I would not be able to help her. I held her face, pulling her closer as I pressed my lips on hers. She placed her hand on my chest and pushed me lightly.

Her cheeks were so red as she stared at me, then darted her eyes to my Beta, who was behind the wheels. I smiled and shook my head before trying again, but she shook her head. Fine.

“Stop the car,” I commanded.

“Okay, Alpha,” my Beta said, quickly pulling over.

“Give us some privacy,” I said once we were no longer in motion.

My Beta did just as I instructed, and I turned my attention to Lavender.

“You didn’t just do that,” she commented with disbelief in her eyes.

I leaned in, my hands under her chin.

“I miss my lady’s lips, and I will do anything to make that happen,” I told her, my voice low and my eyes roaming her face in a gentle manner.

“You are so unbelievable,” she said.

“For you, yes,” I said, raising her face to meet my gaze.

We stared at each other for a minute before I took over her lips. I wrapped my hands around her waist and pulled her closer to my body, our heat instantly mixing. Her hands went to my face as I pulled her up to sit on me.

My hands roamed about her body, feeling each and every corner of her body and curves. She was a beauty. I trailed kisses to her neck, down to her collarbone, and I could feel myself tense up. I growled a little, my canines dropping as I found my lips at the exact spot I needed to mark her.

I held myself back. My wolf has been trying to mark her from the moment she was brought to this pack, but I was skeptical about doing it. Lavender was human and no matter how much I wanted to mark her, I needed to let her understand the concept and how it works.

Humans can die if they are unaware or forced into it. Lavender might be my wife, but I doubted she understood what came with officially marking her, and we have never had that discussion before. I needed her to understand, and I tend to get busy, so we have never really spoken about it.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

She paused, holding my face and tilting my head to look at her.

“What happened?” she asked softly, worry in her eyes.

I smiled. “Nothing is wrong.”

“But your mood dropped,” she pointed out.

“I am fine, okay?” I tried to convince.

She got off my lap and took a seat on the chair. I rolled down the glass and told my Beta to come back into the car. Lavender looked away. I understood and did not try to speak to her. Instead, I took her hand. I was not upset, and I did not think my emotions leaked for a moment until she pointed it out.

I could barely control what I felt when I was with her, and sometimes I do not know if it was a good thing or a bad one. We got to the local hospital in a matter of minutes, and my Beta opened the door for me and then for her.

Once we got in, the nurses were around, and the pack members who were at the reception bowed with smiles.

“Alpha, you are welcome,” one of the nurses said.

I nodded with a smile.

“We are here to see the doctor,” I informed them, and she quickly nodded.

“This way, Alpha,” she said and led us to an office.

“The doctor will be with you shortly,” she told us and left.

I helped Lavender with her chair, and she studied the room with a smile on her face. The doctor came in moments later with a smile.

“Good day, Alpha,” he greeted with a bow, then took a seat.

“You didn’t need to come. I would have come to you instead,” he said.

“No need. We are here now so you can tell us what the result said,” I said to him.

“Oh, it was clean, Alpha. She has no issues,” the doctor informed us.

Lavender gave me the ‘I told you’ look, and I nodded at the doctor.

“Thank you for your time. We will spend a few minutes in the hospital before leaving,” I told the doctor, and he was glad.

“Not a problem, Alpha. I can assign someone to guide you,” he suggested.

“No, I know my way around,” I said before rising to my feet.

Once we were out of the doctor’s office, I turned to Lavender.

“Mum works here, so we should pay her a visit before leaving,” I told her, and she nodded.

We were headed to her office when we overheard a nurse trying to help a man who was hyperventilating on the bed. Lavender squinted her eyes.

“They aren’t doing it right,” she said, which made me turn to her.

“Can I go in?” she looked at me with hope in her eyes.

I did not have an issue, so I gestured for her to go in while I stood at the door.

“I don’t think that would work. You need to make him comfortable first,” Lavender said softly to the nurses who were gathered around the patient.

They all looked at her, and she smiled at them nervously.

“He isn’t placed right. It would keep making him hyperventilate,” she said softly, glancing at all the nurses in the room.

One of the nurses stared at her with a scrutinizing gaze.

“He isn’t human,” she said and looked away.

I was not so visible at the door, so I understood. Moreover, I would not want to always interfere in Lavender’s life. She had her life, and I know she would grow into a great woman and Luna one day with time. I placed my hands in my pockets as I continued watching.

“I know. That’s why he needs to be angled differently from that,” Lavender spoke calmly, not minding the harsh tone of the nurse.

“Are you a doctor?” the nurse said.

“I am a stu…” she paused. “I was a medical student. I came across a few books while being here, so I know what I’m saying,” she explained.

“Let’s just do it,” another nurse said, then turned to Lavender. “What is best, please? We are stressed and might be missing something.”

“Alpha,” I heard the doctor call my name.

I tilted my head to the side, and the doctor spoke, “I need to speak to you privately, please,” he said.

I noticed the frown on his face and glanced at Lavender one more time before leaving the door.

“Alpha, I was recently informed of a new development,” he said, and I furrowed my brow in confusion as he passed me a paper.

I opened it, and I was shocked by its contents.
