The Alpha’s Arranged Bride

Lavender’s POV

I jolted up from my sleep in a panic. Today officially marked two months since I began working at the hospital, and I must say it was the best time of my life. Yes, sometimes I had to leave the bed and mansion early to attend to things at the hospital, but it was all worth it.

This was all I had ever wanted. Better still, I was not just learning the theory part, but also the practical aspect. Carol and Delilah always put me through things, and sometimes, when it felt like I could not do something, they always encouraged me. It was the best feeling ever until I had to work for a long period.

I was either working till late at night or needing to come in very early. Aside from that, I was more than happy to be in the hospital and having the same experience as any doctor who finishes his or her medical school. Usually, I was on time, but last night, Caramel was all over me.

Not that I hated it. I loved it when he touched me. I loved when his lips roamed my body and whenever he tells me how sweet I was. I had gotten so used to him touching me that if he did not, it felt like I was being starved by him. However, last night, Caramel made sure not to let me sleep until it was late. We had sex all through the night, and I felt exhausted afterward.

I did not think about work or anything while it was happening, but only when we were done did it dawn on me that I might actually oversleep at this rate. And I was right. I sat up on the bed, picking up my phone to look at the time.

7:30 am.

I was late. I was about to leave the bed when I felt Caramel’s hand around my wrist, and before I could say a word, he pulled me back onto his chest. “Where is my beautiful wife going?” he asked, as he moved my hair away from my face gently.

I smiled, playing with his beard as I spoke. “The hospital,” I said.

He frowned, then pulled me in for a kiss before grabbing me by the waist and making me lie down while he adjusted to have a proper look at me. “Why don’t you take the day off and spend it with me?” he said, his hands on my face.

I scoffed, then rolled out of bed. “So you will go to work and leave me here on my own? No thank you,” I said.

I know how tight Caramel’s schedule can be. He manages it well, but that does not change the fact that it takes up a lot of his time. That was the very reason I had to find another way to keep myself busy. He was helping the pack, so I could do that too.

He placed his head on his hand, lying on his side before he spoke. “I can clear out my schedule if you want me to,” he said, and I rolled my eyes, then folded my arms.

“Right. I’ll believe you, alright,” I said in a sarcastic tone.

“I want to spend some time with you, so I can,” he said, and I still did not believe him.

He turned to the other side, grabbed his phone from the bedside table, then made a couple of clicks. Just as the phone rang, he turned the screen so I could see who he was dialing: his beta. He placed the phone on speaker the moment his Beta picked up.

“Clear out my schedule for today,” Caramel said, gaze locked on mine as he said so.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“On it,” his Beta said, and the call ended.

Caramel stood up from the bed, then threw his phone on the bed. The moment he got to me, he wrapped his hand below my butt and picked me up, which made me giggle, placing the strands of my hair behind my ear. “Now, who doubts what I could do?” he teased before laying me on the bed.

He kissed my bare chest, then began tickling me. “Admit defeat,” he teased.

“Never,” I joked, and he kept tickling me. “Fine, I admit defeat,” I said, and he stopped, taking over my lips.

“I need to inform Carol about my absence today,” I told him, and he nodded.

While I grabbed my phone, he took his and began typing away. I stared at him, wondering what he was doing, but when he was done, he tossed his phone to the side while I shook my head and dialed Carol’s number.

“I won’t be able to come in today. I-” I was about to tell her the reason when she spoke.

“Oh, it’s fine. I’ve been informed about it,” she said, and I turned to Caramel, giving him a knowing look. He had told Carol already. I ended the call and walked over to him, and he quickly pulled me in, kissing me passionately as he took off my nightwear.

Later in the day, we took a stroll in the woods, a place to give us a little quietness. “It’s been two months. Do you like it there?” Caramel finally asked.

I smiled as we stopped, instantly wrapping his hand around my waist and pulling me closer to him. “I love it there. It is everything and more I had dreamed of,” I confessed, and he smiled before taking over my lips.

He slowly took off my clothes, and in just a matter of minutes, my moans echoed in the forest, with my back against a tree and Caramel pounding into me. It was a blissful day for me, but then the next day, I had to head back to work.

The day was hectic, with a lot of patients coming into the hospital either for check-ups or emergencies. I could not head back home on time, as I had a few things I needed to round up before leaving. I took a file containing a report that Delilah had requested me to keep for the next day before going to my office.

I was given an office because Caramel had specifically asked for it. I doubted if he had not, I would have gotten one. A conversation between a little girl and her parents played in my mind as I got into my office. It was meant to make me smile, but it only made me remember mine.

I opened the door to my office, and I shivered in fear when I saw Caramel in my office. I turned on the lights with my hand on my chest. He smiled at me, but I was too exhausted and moody to smile back properly. “I’ll soon be done,” I said to him as I gathered the files together to pile at the side of the table.

He held my hand, stopping me. “You look gloomy. Did something happen?” he asked, and I shook my head.

“It’s nothing important,” I tried to push it aside.

“It is important so long as it is disturbing you,” he said firmly.

I still tried to work, but he made me look at him. “Tell me,” he said.

“I just miss my parents. And don’t worry, I know they can’t come here. So you don’t have to worry about it,” I told him.

He raised a brow and pulled me close to his body. “As long as my wife desires it, you shall have it because you are my queen.”
