Darkness For An Alpha

Word Battle

Roman was unbothered as he pulled her away regardless, till they were out of the Royal gates.

Since the Luna and the Alpha had agreed for them to leave the Royal house, they were entitled to horses.

Roman quickly stalked the horse with his luggage as well as Cheyenne’s.

He was not going to take chances. He placed her on the horse and got on it too as they journeyed to find a place.

Cheyenne could not help but constantly think of the Alpha’s son. She hoped he was well and safe.

She could not afford anything happening to him. Of course, she loved him and cared for him so much although she loved him like a child and not a lover.

He was like a son to her and nothing more as she had been the one raising him right from infancy to his present stage. He was her child after all.

Roman was quiet throughout the journey as he was upset with Cheyenne.

Of course, he knew she had cared for the Alpha’s son since infancy till his present state hence she would care for him but he was shocked and surprised at her actions.

He was shocked by how she snatched her hands from him like he was going to kill her, to save the spoilt brat who feels he can have whatever he so desires in the whole world, the Alpha’s son.

He shook his head as the thought and image continuously clouded his mind.

Roman was sure Cheyenne loved him but at that point, he could not help but doubt and think had feelings for the Alpha’s son.

Maybe the Alpha’s son had already asked her to be his bride, maybe the Alpha’s son had already asked her to be his bride. Maybe. Just maybe. He could not help but be confused.

“Cheyenne is mine. She loves me now and will always love me, even till eternity. She will not love another. She dares not love another” He assured himself as he shook off every feeling of doubt that has clouded his heart and mind.

After traveling for several hours, they finally decided to sleep for a little while before continuing the journey the next day.

Cheyenne could not sleep as her mind constantly wandered off to Steele. Is he fine now? What is their condition with him? She could not help but be worried.

Her mind was not settled. Roman could not help but be worried as he woke up constantly to be sure Cheyenne was still there with him.

He did not trust her that much. What if she decides to run away? likely not going to speak well for him.

On the umpteenth time he woke up to see if she was asleep, he got tired.

“Why aren’t you sleeping?” He managed to question sleepy as he looked at her heavy eyes which did not look like it is ready for sleep anytime soon.

She remained mute as she stared at the dark of the night.

“Come on Cheyenne, talk to me. We are going to be one soon and I believe trust is quite important for any relationship to be able to stand the test of time, isn’t it?”

He tried to make her speak up again but she was mute.

Whatever the matter was, he just wanted to know it at all costs but she was not ready and did want to spill a word.

“Are you scared that something might happen to us here? Since there is no one guarding us?” He questioned again, staring at her face but there was still no response from her.

What was going on with her? He was beginning to lose his patience but his love was stronger so he stayed still.

“Come on, talk to me? Is something bothering you?” He questioned again and this time, she turned her face to him, looking him directly in the eyes.

Fear gripped his heart immediately. Her eyes were swollen. Had she been crying?

“Have you been crying?” He raised his brows in shock as he did not notice she had cried that much.

Of course, he was aware that she had cried when they started the journey but he was far from aware that she had continued crying even till that time of the night.

With tears in her eyes, she answered with a faint voice “Steele..”

“Steele? And how about him?” He questioned, trying to contain his anger as he was already losing his cool.

“I do not know how he is. I do not know how he is feeling now. Is he fine? Will something happen to him?”

At that point, Roman’s heart shattered.

He felt a deep cut in his chest that he had to hold his chest for the fear of his ripped heart falling out.

Ever since he had been with Cheyenne, he had never seen her in such a manner.

She had never shown care to him like that and now, because of some son of an Alpha, she had been crying for hours.

His sadness was suddenly overwhelmed by anger.

“What type of question is that? Why would you ask me that?

If you care about him that much, why don’t you return to the royal house to check on him?

Why don’t you return to his maid or even his bride like he had wanted you to?” He stood up briskly.

Cheyenne gasped as she had not expected that reaction from him. Of a truth, why would she ask him that?

Perhaps, her emotions got the better part of her but what could she do? She had a heart after all.

“Roman.…” Cheyenne shrieked.

Roman continued his speech. “You heard me quite alright. I am not joking and I mean every word I say. You can go back to him since you seem to be in love with him and not me.

Maybe you both had planned all that happened. You should have told me and not made me take you away from there” His brows squeezed in anger.

“Roman” She managed to get up. “What are you saying?” She placed her palm on his shoulder. “You know my love for you cannot be contemplated. My love for you is genuine and you should not doubt it” She tried to explain.

“You do not make it seem like it” He took her hands off his shoulder and took two steps forward.

Cheyenne’s heart was shattered at the act of her lover. She did not like it whenever her lover was upset with her.

“Why?” Her voice broke. “If I wanted him if I wanted to be with him, then I would have informed you. I would have let you know. I can never want to be with him”

She placed her hand again on her shoulder.

“It is you I love and you alone. There is no other contender”

“Are you sure?” He looked at her and pretended to still be angry but his heart failed him as a smile escaped his lips.

He tried to hide it but Cheyenne had already seen it and she heaved a sigh of relief as her heart settled.

Her lover was no longer upset with him.

“Oh, I forgot!” She raised her hand.

“Forgot what?” He raised his brows as he looked at her.

“You cannot be the only lover I will have, there would be some other wolves who I will be so much in love with” She tried to walk away.

“Who are they? What are you saying? Are you going to love anyone aside from me?” He searched for answers in her eyes but her eyes were blank.

They held no answers.

“Of course” She answered with a blank face and tried to walk away but he held her back.

“Who is it? Who are they?” He questioned again.

“You do not want me to love another?”

“Of course, why will you love another? Am I not enough for you? Is my love not strong enough for you?”

“You are not enough for me.” She answered immediately as she snatched her hands from him and went to sit on the floor.

“What?” He could not believe his ears.

“You will be my husband. If I do not love them? Who will love them?” She raised her brows

“What do you mean? There are lots of single female wolves out there even if they do not have a mate. Why do you have to be the one to love them?”

“Yes, they would get love from other female wolves out there but ours is important the most” She explained.

“Ours?” He raised his brows as he was even more confused.

“Yes. Ours. Yours and I” Cheyenne smiled, enjoying every bit of what was going on.

“You must be out of your mind to even believe I will love your lovers” He pouted his lips and folded his arms, still confused at the revelation Cheyenne made.

“So you will not love our pups?” She faked anger.

“What do you mean? Of course, I will love them. How does that even relate to this? Do not even try to get away with this because I will not forgive you for this”

“You will not forgive me for loving our pups? For giving them the best love they will need to grow and flourish before other single wolves do?”

“What are you….”

Then it clicked in his mind. A smile escaped from his lips as he realized Cheyenne had been playing with him all along.

She had been taking his emotions on a ride.

“You silly” He smiled as he rushed over to her and placed a kiss on her lips. She laughed as she had achieved her goal.

Roman was happy to see Cheyenne happy. That was what he had always wanted.

“Oh, I forgot! There is still another I am going to love from aside our pups” She let out amidst laughter.

“You will not play with my heart any longer” He captured her mouth into a deep long kiss, hugging and caressing each other, then he withdrew and whispered into her ear.

“Speaking of pups, how about we begin to make them now?”

Her eyes widened in shock and surprise as she did not expect it. He smiled, seeing her action, and continued kissing her, working his hands into her cloth.

Cheyenne’s heart began to beat faster and at a point, she felt her heart was going to explode as his hands began to travel to places she had not expected, releasing a gasp every moment.
