Sold To The Demon Alpha
Chapter 32

Roma’s POV

I didn’t do it for you. Why would I let someone that owed me that much do something as foolish as getting herself killed when she was yet to pay off what her father owed me?

When you get better, we will talk about your punishment and the rules again, since you seem to flout them without blinking and have no regard for your life. You are my property until you pay the last cent of what your father owes me and as such I except you to begin to behave responsibly. Is that clear?

My words seemed to haunt me as I fled from the infirmary like I was being chased by a monster and I fisted my hands when I saw the look in her eyes.

Reading Aria Ajello was like reading an open book and the moment I had seen the tears well up in her eyes, I knew that I had f****d up royally. I also knew that all those harsh words in an attempt to push her away would be for nothing if I stayed there and ended up pulling her into my arms when she cried and telling her that I did not mean any of those words.

I had to remind myself that it was for the best. That cutting her off now that it was early was the wisest thing to do. That it was the best I could do for her if I really cared about her.

But why then did it make me this upset? I was usually good at dishing out cruelty but I couldn’t stand the way the hope and light int those light brown eyes died when I told her that I didn’t enter that forest because of her.

It was the biggest lie I had ever told her. Sure, her father was a debtor and in truth, the reason why she was here was because she was paying off her father’s debt but I would have battled the goddess herself if it meant that I could save her from the clutches of those beasts in that forest. And I would do it again in a heart beat.

What was done was already done, wasn’t it? There was really no use crying over spilled milk, especially if it was spilled intentionally with good intentions.

She would cry tonight but she would thank me for it. She would hurt now from my cruelty but she would heal because she was as bright as sunshine.

A beast like me did not deserve to want someone like her, no matter that she was my mate.

Heading straight for my office, I heard a noise coming from down the hallway to my right and when I followed it, I saw Raphael and Carlos facing each other, a maid shaking beside them as they stared each other down.

Heading straight for my office, I heard a noise coming from down the hallway to my right and when I followed it, I saw Raphael and Carlos facing each other, a maid shaking beside them as they stared each other down.

“Raphael. What is going on?” The three of them looked at me and the maid bowed, still shaking while Raphael and Carlos inclined their heads, the latter doing so grudgingly but that didn’t matter to me.

“He tried to force himself on her.” Raphael said bluntly and the maid started crying even harder.

“Typical for you to believe the help over me.” Carlos spat.

Already in a terrible mood after I left the infirmary, it was very easy for me to become instantly irritated by the smirk on Carlos’s face.

It was not even up to five hours that we buried our people and he was already misbehaving?

Then again, it had been a while he acted out and it was starting to make me suspicious of his sudden peaceful behaviour.

“Raphael, take her with you.”

Nodding, Raphael led the maid away and I waited until they left the hallway before I turned to face my delinquent brother.

“Since when did you break one of our most sacred laws?”

“What’s so sacred about a common maid…”

He didn’t finish his statement because I held him against the wall, my grip on his throat tightening.

He gasped for breath, his eyes widening in surprise and I was appalled. He was such a coward, preying on unwilling women, just like our father.

“Roma…” He gasped and I growled at him, shutting him up immediately.

“Find a willing woman or stay celibate. You should thank your stars that you were stopped before you did any real damage. The next time, I hear of something like this, I will cut off your balls and feed it to the dogs. Right after I skin you alive.”

Throwing him to the ground, I watched him gasping for breath and turned around to head to my office.

My head spun and I tried to relax, to make sure that I didn’t allow my emotions to overwhelm me.

A part of me wanted to head back to the infirmary. To see Aria. Staying with her overnight seemed to calm me much better than anything else in the last three weeks but just as I turned to head in that direction, selfishly planning to undo all that I had done, I ran into Salem.

Her smile widened in delight as if she had been waiting for just the opportunity for me to fall right into her trap.

“Fancy seeing you here. I was just on my way to your study to check on you. You must feel very down after the burial today.”

Well, today was her lucky day because I was in a dangerous mood and needed an outlet.

Grabbing her by the arm without saying a word, I pulled her into my office and threw her on the couch.

She screamed in delight but it sounded like noise to me. Everything sounded like noise to me. I needed to rein in my rage. My anger at hurting Aria. My anger at the goddess for this painful pairing. My anger at the werewolf hunters. My anger at Carlos.

“Shut up and bend over.” I growled and Salem grinned, doing exactly as I commanded and removing her thong as she raised her large round a*s up, ever so ready for me.

I didn’t give her any warning, just a hard slap on her a*s before I drove into her p***y that was already wet.

She m****d, holding on to the couch and I tuned her out, grabbing her waist and thrusting into her fast and hard.

Get a grip, Roma. Get a f*****g grip.

She rolled her h**s and I g*****d, gripping her hair and pulling her head back as I slammed into her without mercy.

She met me thrust for thrust, arching her back and groaning as she squeezed my c**k and the minute, I felt the o****m hit, I withdrew from her.

“Turn around and get on your knees.”

Pushing into her mouth, I moved a few more times and came hard, groaning as she sucked my c**k, milking every last drop but when I closed my eyes, it was large brown eyes that I saw. A golden face dusted with freckles and an innocent smile.

I saw the face of the one woman that I wanted but could not have.

I saw the face of Aria Ajello.

I was well and truly f****d.
