Arranged To The Alpha
Chapter 69

Natalia:

“You f*****g…”

Blake wrapped his arm around me, not allowing me to approach his brother, knowing that I might end up doing something stupid. If anything, the man deserved what he was going to get.

“What did you think of the tasks? I was honestly waiting for what you were going to have to say.” Drake said, giving me a cold smile. I glared at the man, wanting to move from my husband’s arms only to frown when Blake tightened his grip around me.

I knew that it was the number of witches who were around, the last thing that Blake wanted was for me to get in trouble with them, but that still didn’t mean that I was going to let Drake go. He knew what he was doing, and either way, regardless of whatever result, he was going to kill Blake.

“I told you not to put my mate in this, Drake. She has…”

“Whatever it is that you are going to tell me, Blake, does not matter.” Drake said, stopping Blake who let out a low warning growl. Drake returned the growl despite the state that he was in, and it wasn’t until Ariana put her hand on Blake’s shoulder, squeezing it gently that Drake seemed to lose whatever confidence that he was having.

“Yes, nothing seems to matter to you anyway. But I wonder how you would be feeling when you have lost everything and everyone around you before losing your life.” Ariana said, crossing her arms over her chest as she looked at the man. His eyes avoided hers and I frowned when I saw pain in his eyes. “Natalia, Blake, arguing with him is going to get you nowhere right now.”

However, her words didn’t make a difference to me right now. I wasn’t going to let the man get away with what he was doing. The man was putting my life on the line to simply kill his brother. He had tried to do it once, killing Myla in front of Blake, making him feel helpless. Now, he was repeating the same cycle, and the thing was, all the results, even the one of victory, lead to the same result, and that was not something that I was going to allow.

Fire formed under the man, making his eyes widen in surprise as he processed what I was doing. I knew that Blake was debating on whether to stop me or not, but right now, I was far too annoyed to give a damn. Drake was going to know the fire that I was dealing with inside me. He was going to get a taste of it, and that was something that I was going to make sure of.

“Natalia, enough.” Blake said, giving me an Alpha’s order. I looked down at my feet for a second, not wanting to stop before complying. My heart ached, and I knew that it was because I was angry. Drake, whose eyes were wide as he tried to initially escape the fire that I created under him, tried approaching me, raising his hand as if he wanted to punch me only for Blake to stand in front of him. He grabbed his hand midair, and twisted it, causing the man to double over in pain as he snapped his wrist.

Drake’s eyes widened in surprise, and Ariana wrapped her arm around me, pulling me away from the two men who were obviously going at one another. It only sickened me that both of them were twins and had to go through this. But I knew that it was not in my place to judge, if anything, I couldn’t blame Blake for how he was acting, and it wasn’t only because the man was my mate. Drake was completely losing his mind, and if he thought that whatever he was doing was going to get him anywhere, then he was very wrong.

The man was simply digging his own grave himself, and the sick part about it was that he didn’t even see it. The man didn’t realize the dangers that he was currently in, and I didn’t know the reason behind it; however, judging by the number of witches that were around him, I wasn’t stupid as not to know that they could have a hand or two in it. These witches were using him, and the man couldn’t even see it. That alone was very sad, I had to admit that much.

“You should be thankful that my husband gave me the order to stop.” I said, glaring daggers at him. His heart raced and he gulped, trying to find the words to say as the witches who were behind it were trying to find their way out. “But I will be sure that you regret thinking about using my dragon.”

“Is that a threat?” Drake asked, watching as I tried to approach him. My husband wrapped his arm around me, not allowing me to do so. I knew that he didn’t want me approaching the man, he didn’t want me getting in conflict in front of the witches who could easily hurt one of us. It was the ONLY reason why I stopped, I didn’t want to risk anyone getting hurt because I was angry or annoyed.

“Normally I don’t like threats, but when it comes to you. Yes, it is a threat, and it is one that I want you to drill so deep in your head that you don’t forget, at least, until you lose your life.” I said, glaring daggers at the man who had to fight back gulping as his heart raced. Blake shook his head at me, and I rolled my eyes at his brother before turning to the bed that he had ‘assigned’ for us to stay in. Elijah, who was standing a step back, smirked at me, clearly impressed with what I was doing.

“I told you, brother, you messed with the wrong people.” Blake said, his tone calmer than I expected it to be. “I know that you think that you’re superior, but you are going to end up falling inside your own hole. Maybe your witches aren’t mentioning this, but I will.”

“You and your wife’s threats are getting out of hand, don’t you think?” Drake asked, stopping him. Blake smiled at the man, his stance threatening. My heart raced as I looked at my husband, studying his body language as my hands shook. I knew that he was not going to let anything slide, it was something that I could easily read without the need of getting inside his brain.

“I believe, brother, that you of all people should know me enough by now to know for fact that I do not make plain threats.” He said, grabbing him by his collar, not caring that the witches were in the same room. Neither one of them bothered moving to try and help the Alpha, the man who was supposed to be on their side. I looked to my right and easily understood why they were afraid of Riya who was looking at them, challenging them to dare and approach the two men.

“Get the f**k out of the room, and the next time I see you trying to even look at my wife, I will be sure to carve your eyes out.” He said, glaring at him, his tone darkening. My heart raced against my ribcage as I looked at both brothers, knowing that my husband would stop at nothing to end this now. “If we are here now, it is because we want to be. But I want you to keep in mind, should any of us want to leave, not you or a thousand witches like the ones you have pulling you in for some trap can stop us.”

“You are here because of the dragon.” He said, and Blake let out a low, warning growl.

“You’re very stupid if you think that we wouldn’t be able to get her back if we want to.” Blake said, letting him go before he took a step back. He turned to face me and wrapped his arm around my waist as he pulled me to his chest. “I suggest that you start sleeping with one eye open from now on. You never know when the next spider will crawl up your leg to bite you in the neck…”
