Sold To The Scarred Alpha

MALIYA

I felt quite uncomfortable throughout the ride. Alpha Xander’s sharp gaze made me feel uneasy and I couldn’t bring myself to turn and look at him.

I was grateful that he had decided to use a carriage big enough to give us enough space, but I still felt so little.

I kept my gaze fixed on the window, watching the beautiful sight of the pack for the first time. I was blinded folded when Lord Williams brought me here and ever since, I haven’t been chanced the set my feet outside the mansion.

I should probably feel free, right? The freedom that I have been craving for was here. I could push the door open and run out. Go to the event with him and escape while he is busy.

He didn’t have any guards with him or whatsoever this was the perfect timing, but I stood in the same position, as my hands trembled lightly from the fear of the consequences.

Alpha Xander is a heartless man. If I thought he would spare me just because I was carrying his child, then that would be the biggest mistake of my life.

The pack was beautiful, I must confess. I don’t know what I was expecting, and quite frankly, I wasn’t expecting anything either, but it doesn’t look like a bad place to live if the circumstances were different of course.

The ride was quiet and it was starting to feel suffocating when the driver finally stopped in front of a huge castle.

The carriage driver came out to open the door for us before I could push it open and I released a breath I didn’t realise I was holding as the cold breeze hit my skin.

I stepped outside and looked around the surroundings in awe when Alpha Xander linked his arms with mine.

We were immediately welcomed by the maids but Alpha Xander ignored them all while he led the way to the party.

Would it kill him to acknowledge people beneath him?

Does he acknowledge his own people talk less of a bunch of people he would never meet again? A voice said in my head and I heaved out a sigh.

Tonight is going to be long. I can feel it in my bones.

I don’t know if Alpha Xander didn’t notice how uncomfortable I was, or it just wasn’t his business, either way, he stared ahead as he walked without sparing me a look.

We took a corridor and got to another part of the house and I couldn’t help but look around in awe.

Everything screams LUXURY! From the interior decoration to the beautiful artwork that was hung around the wall, to the chandelier that was at every corner of the room, dazzling as it added its own beauty to the room, everything looked beautiful.

My eyes met with

an artwork that seemed to be hidden in a corner and I couldn’t help but admire how beautiful it was.

Why did they hide it there when it looked like the most beautiful one among the rest? I couldn’t take a closer look or try to understand its meaning since Alpha Xander was just walking straight like a robot, but my eyes couldn’t look away from it.

Just then, a few people started approaching us as they showed their respect to Alpha Xander.

“Alpha Xander, what a pleasant surprise, I didn’t think you would come to such an event,” a middle aged man said and Alpha Xander only replied with a nod Would it kill him to be friendly?

“Look who is here!” Another one called from behind and Alpha under finally stopped to acknowledge him.

I’m guessing he must be someone important then.

“Alpha Xander? What a pleasant surprise,” the man beamed proudly

“Alpha Luxwell,” Alpha Xander greeted him coldly, but the man didn’t seem to mind anyway.

I guess everyone was already used to his attitude.

“If anyone were to tell me that you would be coming here today. I’d laugh to their face and tell them that they must have mistaken you for someone else,” Alpha Luxwell said witli a smile and Alpha Xander merely hummed in response.

“I know you are definitely not the type to attend parties like this. Did Alpha Maxwell offer you something?” He winked as he moved closer to us.

“I can change my mind at any time after all, it’s my choice, isn’t it? Whether he offered me something to attend his party or not surely isn’t any of business,” he said, dismissing the conversation but Alpha Luxwell was either clueless or just wanted to pester him because he didn’t stop with his questioning.

“True,” he chuckled before looking at our arms where it was linked before he finally looked at me.

I saw a glint in his eyes as he looked at me. One I couldn’t quite decipher but I didn’t question it much either.

Who is this beautiful woman?” Alpha Luxwell looked between me and Alpha Xander before he continued to speak. I’m guessing she is your ride for tonight, isn’t she?”

He had a mischievous look on his face which made my stomach churn in disgust.

“I have always known you had a good eye, but this one here is exceptional,” he winked, as his eyes roamed my body lustfully.

I wished I could poke his eyes from the way he was creepily watching me. I felt goosebumps all over my body but I just stood beside Alpha Xander knowing he wouldn’t do anything, not when Alpha Xander was watching.

Just then, Alpha Xander stood in front of me, shielding me from his gaze.

“Stare at her like that again and see what I’d do to you,” he threatened lowly.

“I was merely appreciating her beauty,” he chuckled, but I didn’t miss the sly smile on his face.

“The next time you look at her or even show yourself in front of me, I won’t hesitate to cut off your head,” he said in a terrifying voice.

His voice sent chills down my spine and I swallowed the lumps in my throat. I could tell that he wasn’t bluffing.

Alpha Xander wasn’t one to make an empty threat. And if he could threaten an Alpha like that, Lwondered what he would do to someone like me- a nobody.

I felt a little relieved that he at least stood up for me, but seeing the nervous look on Alpha Luxwell’s face made my heart skip a beat.

He won’t really kill someone because of that, right?

To sorry, Alpha Luxwell cleared his that as he apologized.

Alpha Xander ignored his apologies and led me into the room where the party was already in full swing.

“Alpha Maxwell,” Alpha Xander greeted with a smile.

“My goodness, I wasn’t expecting you to show up personally. Thank you for gracing me with your presence, Alpha Maxwell said with a genuine smile.

“It’s nothing. Happy Birthday by the way,” Alpha Xander said with a small smile and Alpha Maxwell seemed to genuinely appreciate his presence.

At that moment, it looked like Alpha Xander was the Alpha of the Alphas. The way everyone respected him. The way they spoke highly of him and looked up to him was something and culdn’t help but look around in disbelief.

“This really means a lot to me. I know how busy you are,” Alpha Maxwell smiled.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“It’s not a problem.”

Just then, Alpha Maxwell’s eyes met with mine and he looked back at Alpha Xander.

“Who is the beautiful woman?” He asked with a smile as he looked between the two of us and I couldn’t help but wonder if I didn’t make a mistake coming here.

The look on their faces makes me feel at the edge. It makes me constantly want to watch my back and I did the only thing I could think of.

I leaned closer to Alpha Xander out of fear.
