The Alpha’s Arranged Bride

LAVENDER’S POV

I glanced at my reflection in the mirror before turning to meet Caramel’s gaze. “I am ready,” I said, and on cue, his phone chimed in his pocket. He took it out and glanced at the screen for a minute before turning to me. I could tell it was a message from his Beta.

“They just arrived,” he informed me, and I squealed in delight.

He chuckled, then took my hand and placed a kiss on my forehead. “Let’s go,” he said, and I nodded, feeling like a child given a lollipop. I could barely hide my feeling of excitement and happiness. I had not seen my parents in months. It was unusual. Before joining this pack, I always saw my parents. It was occasionally unsettling and frustrating when I couldn’t find any time for myself because they were constantly around. However, it has been months now since I last heard from them, whether in person or otherwise, and all I want is to have a conversation with them again. Caramel gave me his hand, and I wasted no time in taking it. As usual, he placed a kiss on the back of my palm before leading me out of the room.

We stood at the gate as the car drove onto the premises. A bright smile appeared on my face as I watched it get closer and closer to where we stood. I could feel Caramel’s gaze on me, but at the moment, all my attention was on the car approaching the building. The moment it parked, Caramel let go of my hand.

I turned to him, and he gave me the go-ahead. Without thinking, I rushed down the stairs while my parents stepped out of the car. My dad stepped out first, and I rushed to him, wrapping my arms around him. “Dad,” I called out.

“Hey sweetheart,” he said, hugging me tightly. He pulled me away, his eyes glancing over at me.

“How are you?” he asked.

“Fine. I’ve missed you,” I confessed, hugging him again.

I heard my mother chuckle nearby, and I rushed to her. “Mum,” I hugged her.

“My baby,” she said, rubbing my head. When I pulled away, I saw tears in her eyes. “Is something wrong?” I asked, frowning.

She shook her head, wiping her face. “It’s nothing. I just missed you,” she said, and I hugged her again. “I’m here now,” I said, feeling her tears.

I held their hands and led them up the stairs. “Mum, Dad,” I glanced at both of them standing at my sides. “This is my husband, Alpha Caramel,” I introduced.

Caramel shook hands with my father and nodded at my mother. “We meet again. It is a delight to have you in my home,” he said to them.

“It is nice to be here,” my mother said.

“The maids will help you to your rooms. You can join us for dinner,” Caramel said softly, and the maids came in to assist as he had asked. However, I still joined them. Mum held my hand, and the moment we got into the room, she turned to me with a smile. “How is it here? Are they all treating you well?” she asked, and I wasted no time nodding.

“Don’t worry. I’ll tell you everything,” I said, excited to share all the fun things that had happened here. I loved everything here, and how could I not when Caramel took care of me and made sure everything was to my taste?

The guards brought in their bags, and afterwards, we left for the dining table. I sat beside Caramel on the right, and Delilah took his left while my parents took the seats after her. “How was the trip? I made sure to give you two the best, and I hope it was,” Caramel said, and my parents nodded.

“It was a delightful trip, Alpha,” my mother said. “Thank you. We missed our princess a lot,” she added, causing my cheeks to turn red. This prompted me to swiftly redirect my attention to my food and start stuffing my face.

We discussed more while eating, and Delilah kept sending praises my way. All I could do was smile and nod as all eyes occasionally turned to me. Halfway through our meal, Caramel placed his hand over mine, turning my entire face into a tomato.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Once we were done, Caramel excused us and took me to his room. I wrapped my arms around his neck. “Thank you so much,” I pouted, and he smiled.

“As long as you are happy, my love. I would do anything,” he said, and I smiled. “Can we go out, though? I want to show them the pack. Is that okay?” I was excited but also tried to keep it at bay so I wouldn’t push my luck too high and then get disappointed because I know how protective Caramel can get about the pack.

“You can, but not today. They need to rest. It was a long trip,” he said, and even though I didn’t want to, I had to agree.

He placed a kiss on my forehead. “I need to go out now. I’ll be back soon,” he informed me, kissing my forehead one more time and then my lips before leaving.

The next day, I woke up earlier than usual. I knew we couldn’t go yet, but I couldn’t go back to sleep. When it was finally time, I was very excited. I couldn’t stop talking. I told my parents everything and anything that came to mind. We finally got to the market, and I turned to them. “I love this place. It has the best fruit. You should try some, Dad,” I said, knowing how much he loved fruits.

I leisurely walked up to one of the stalls and selected a fruit, but in no time, an angry lady came rushing towards us.
