Sold To The Demon Alpha
Chapter 75

Aria’s POV

I used to think that things could not get any better for me now that Roma and I were finally together but something had changed that day between us in the car. The day where he had promised me a lot more.

I had felt it deep in my bones just how much he wanted me. Like he had finally gotten rid of that barrier that he had raised between us before when we kissed and touched. Like there was nothing to worry about anymore when he was with me.

Our k****s were more urgent and it felt like we could not get enough of each other.

During the day, in front of everyone else, we were Roma and Aria, the master and the maid. But behind closed doors, we could not keep our hands away from each other.

I had hickeys all over my breasts and neck that made me bulbs furiously anytime I looked at myself in the mirror whenever I was done showering and needed to get something to change into.

It made me feel powerful. Roma made me feel powerful.

But there was one huge but. Since we started this clandestine relationship, we had never gone beyond everything else.

In fact, it felt like since I confessed to Roma that I was a virgin that day in the car when he had allowed me to dry hump him and c*m as I rode him through his clothes, he was trying his hardest to make sure that I came from other means, perhaps so that I would not be able to be lucid enough to demand that we have a conversation about the issue.

Swallowing what I had been chewing in the kitchen as I got lost in thought, I didn’t realize that Sophia had snuck up on me until she spoke

“Hi there, tiger.” She whispered and when I turned around to roll my eyes at her, she waggled her eyebrows at me and I laughed.

“So, someone needs to take some stuff down to the dining hall. There’s a meeting happening now and they need some snacks.” She said and immediately she did,I sprang into action

“Allow me to take it to them?” I asked her and she nodded.

“Of course. You want to see the love of your life more than I do.” She said as she leaned to whisper in my ear and even though I frowned at her, my heart thudded in my chest at the word she had used because I didn’t deny it either.

Was that what he was to me?

Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I made my way to the dining hall, my heart in my mouth as I entered to see that the officials were not here yet, it was just one of them that was sitting in the hall and Carlos. Roma was also not here yet.

I had never seen this man before so I knew that he wasn’t from the pack. On the other hand, Carlos who was even from the pack didn’t make me feel any better as the duo stopped whatever they had been talking about before I entered.

Bowing in greeting, I arranged the snacks on the table and turned to leave when the man grabbed my hand.

“You smell like him.” The man noted and it made me confused.

“Sir, I don’t know what you’re talking back”

“His scent is all over you, little w***e. Didn’t know that the Alpha liked them innocent looking and small. How about when this meeting is over, you show me to your room. I’m staying the night you see.” He said as he licked his lips and when I forced my hand away from his grip, he backhanded me so hard, it sent me flying to the ground.

Standing up, he was about to close the distance between us again and I whimpered, already taking a protective position as I rocked back and forth, all the memories of how my father used to beat me came rushing in.

Just as he took the last step towards me and raised his hands again, I heard a crash and when I opened my eyes, Roma was holding the man against the wall with a growl that shook the entire room.

I gasped and the man shook in horror.

“Please I can explain.” He whispered and when Roma took one glance at me, his eyes darkened in rage.

“Did you touch her?” He yelled and the man remained silent.

Reaching for one of his fingers, Roma broke the bone and the man screamed in pain as the cracking sound filled the entire room.

“Now, I’ll repeat myself again. Did you touch her?”

The man nodded frantically.

“It was just a little slap, I promise you. It was just…” Before the man could complete his statement, Roma snapped his neck and dropped the body to the ground just as Raphael and two other people walked into the room.

My eyes met with Carlos, who looked between me and Roma and his smile was almost knowing, like he had discovered something.

Roma looked at Raphael and the others who now looked at him in shock.

“Take care of the body. And finish up this meeting.”

My eyes widened as the reality of what had just happened dawned on me.

That man was dead.

Roma had killed that man because of me.

Helping my stunned self to my feet, Roma held my hand and walked out of the dining hall and towards my bedroom.

I followed in silence, still unable to believe what had just happened. My body shook with surprise and when I entered the room and removed my hand from Roma’s to sit on my bed, I saw hurt flash over his features before he nodded and disappeared from the room.

I had thought that he was gone until he returned with a first aid box and locked the door after him.

Walking to kneel in front of me, he tried to cup my face that I was sure was red and slowly becoming swollen because I the slap and when I flinched again, his eyes turned sad.

“Are you scared of me, sweetheart?”

I didn’t have an answer to that. I had just watched him break someone’s neck with so much ease and even though I knew why, it terrified me. I was way out of my league where Roma was concerned.

He was too strong for me. Too much for me. Too everything for me.

And yet, this time, no matter how scared I was, I realized that I was not scared of Roma himself. Never Roma.

When he opened the first aid box and applied ointment on my face gently, I watched him in silence, my eyes tracing the curve of his jaw, his beautiful blue eyes with long lashes and his perfectly sculptured cheekbones.

“Why did you do it? Why did you kill him?” I couldn’t help but ask and the look I saw in his eyes were so filled with passion, it took the breath out of me.

“Because you’re mine, Aria. And no one gets to hurt what is mine. No one.”
