A Contract With Alpha Damien A Strange Night
Damien's POVJen stood in the middle of the room in fear. I could hear the thumping of her heart as it raced faster with each second that passed. She didn't know why I was asking these questions, but she was scared and I couldn't blame her. I was sure she thought that I was about to threaten her."Sir." I could hear the apprehension in her tone. She thought I was going to harm her parents, but that wasn't why I was asking. " Answer the question, Jen," I said. " I will feel...sad, broken, and alone." She finally answered after so much hesitation."That's how my son will feel if Zeta dies.." I was going to feel worse than that and I would never let that happen. She gasped and raised her head to look at me for a second. "Alpha, is Queen Zeta dying?" She asked. With how scared she was, I wasn't expecting her to ask questions but I answered her."With the rate at which she is fainting these days, and how weak and underweight she is. What do you think?" " I-i don't know what to think.

AUTHOR'S POV "Ma'am, what would you like to eat?" Jen repeated, causing Zeta to jump slightly. The incident is still fresh in her mind." Nothing." She replied. The thought of food made Zeta's stomach churn in a bad way. She was scared for her life, and food was the last thing on her mind.Damien was not to blame for not believing that his wife wanted her dead. She didn't have concrete evidence, and that was a huge accusation to level at someone."Ma'am..." Jen started, disrupting Zeta's thoughts, and she shook her head. She was not in the mood to argue.Jen studied Zeta. She looked a bit pale and slimmer than she was. She wanted to say more when she noticed the subtle shake of Damien's head."You can't skip dinner." Damien intervened. He knew she was reeling from the recovery, but she needed to eat."I will eat in the morning." She injected sharply. There was a pressing issue on the ground, and food wouldn't solve it.Alpha Damien sighed. "I understand how you must be feeling, but y

Confused, I stared at the figure standing in front of me holding a bucket."What the fuck Belinda!" I yelled, wiping water from my face."How dare you-"Shut up!" she cuts sharply, biting her bottom lip as she tried to hide her amusement."It's past eight o'clock and you're still in bed who's going to prepare the meals since your 'accident' you've become lazy" she snarled tossing the bucket on my lap.The way she said the 'accident' convinced me she knew it was no accident. How heartless could she possibly be, even if she got me out of the way Damien could never love a wretched soul like her.I ran my hand through my hair trying to drain out the cold water. A shiver steered down my spine as the chilling feeling washed over me."I'll be there in a minute" I said looking at my drenched clothes and sheets. The AC never

" I guess that means I look handsome too." He said as his brows creased in confusion. "Yes. You are so smart. Tell your dad I'll be down in a minute." I replied with a prouder smile. Adrien was growing so well. He was smart and resourceful and everything I hoped for. "Yes, Mom."

He said while handing it over to me.My eyes were misted with tears when I saw the inscription on the locket. " You are my forever, no one can separate us." " Why are you crying, Mom? Are you sad?"

A Contract With Alpha Damien Chapter 107
Damien's POV I scanned the letter and saw that the handwriting didn't quite tally. Moving into her room, everything was intact leading me to believe that she was taken. Coming out of the house, I shut the door and sniffed the air as the lingering Zeta's scent wafted into my nostrils. She must be around the area. I thought. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, her scent called me, and I walked according to its directions. I had almost walked a mile distance without anyone in sight. I sighed deeply as I continued my journey. I had crossed the expanse of my land when her scent got stronger but it was mixed with a metallic scent. Blood! Looking to the left, I saw a hidden shack, just before crossing to the next pack. It was in No Man's Land. A free pack where shady dealings go on. The predominant inhabitants were rogues and some evil wolves. I called Daniel to come quickly as a backup. " Bring some vehicles along," I ordered. Pulling out my gun from my back pocket, I rush in. No on

A hard crack of palm connected with Zeta's cheek making her jump wide awake in fright. Her vision blurred as she slowly regained consciousness. She was shocked to see herself in cuffs and an unfamiliar house. She saw Belinda's annoying face and groaned as she remembered how she was taken._Three hours later after Damien left, the doorbell rang and Zeta rushed to the front door, and opened it instantly. It was eerily quiet except for the slight whooshing from the early evening breeze and the soft rustling of leaves in the garden. Her maid was also nowhere in sight. She stepped outside with the thought that Damien was probably playing a prank on her which was her mistake. After standing for two minutes, she turned to go into the house when she heard an unusual rustling of leaves. This time, it sounded like someone was crushing dried leaves. The hair on her nape rose, and her skin broke out in goosebumps.__She turned and a plank was delivered to her head, causing her to go out like lig

Zeta was busy tending to the garden when a nurse came to inform her that Damien was around. She ran straight to the house and jumped into his arms. He grunted before twirling her around. " You told me that you weren't going to come!" She said in an accusing tone and he smiled. " I wanted to surprise you." He whispered into her ear. Zeta beamed from ear to ear as she stared at Damien, it was surreal to her that he was here in the flesh. Although they spoke for long hours on the phone, it didn't stop the longing that she felt.Tears rolled down her eyes, and Damien wiped it away." You don't need to cry, I'm here now." He patted her head." I know, I'm just happy to see you." The feeling was mutual." Me too. Let's go inside." Damien said." Look at the time. I'm such a bad host." Zeta exclaimed." It's fine," Damien replied. Their conversation spanned from afternoon till evening, as they had a lot to talk about. "What would you like to eat? I can make some pasta for you." Zeta sho

Zeta blinked slowly as she became conscious. The door opened Immediately, and a nurse walked in with a tray in her hand." Good morning, Luna Belinda. It's nice to see you awake." She greeted her with a pleasant smile. " Good morning, please where am I?" She inquired as she scanned the room. It was painted white. The door opened again, and Alpha Paul walked in. " Good morning, Zeta." He greeted her with a friendly smile on his face."Good morning, Alpha Paul." She replied in a hoarse tone, relieved to see a familiar face. The nurse rushed to her bedside and poured her a glass of water and she took a quick sip."How are you feeling?" He replied when he saw the curious look on her face. "Better, I guess." She replied and groaned while attempting to sit upright. " Easy there." Alpha Paul advised. The nurse assisted her to sit upright. "Thank you," Zeta whispered. " You're welcome, ma'am." The nurse replied and excused them at Paul's nod." Where is this place?" She inquired. " Al

Soon, it became a rowdy Alpha Damien's heart skipped at that statement, but he saw the determination on their faces, he knew that they couldn't be persuaded. They continued chanting loudly. He thought long and hard about what to say. One wrong statement, and he was at risk of rebellion. He wore an unreadable expression and shrugged nonchalantly. He raised an arm, and the pack fell silent. " Nobody is above the law, she went into this with her eyes open." Belinda's eyes narrowed suspiciously at the statement. Damien sighed, " As much as I do not want to do this I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around it. She has to be put to death." The crowd roared and high-fived one another in excitement. Damien felt somber but maintained a calm composure. He raised an arm again and they kept quiet. "That will be all for today, you can return to your homes. Have a good night's rest." He said and waited till they all left before rushing down to the cell.The high-pitched rattle o

Zeta dodged behind a large tent that was used for her celebration. Axel moved forward, and she held her breath when she heard his approaching footsteps. The pitter-patter of her heart increased to banging against her ribcage in apprehension. She hoped that she was not caught. Who knows what would be done to her? Axel stopped and Belinda gave him a fearful look. If this conversation got leaked to the public, she would certainly be punished.Axel raised his nose and sniffed the air. He noticed a scent coming from the tent.He pointed to where Zeta was hiding, and trod there stealthily, careful not to make a sound.

Rise." He ordered and she obeyed quickly. Her eyes scanned the garden to see if anyone would come to her rescue. Sadly, there was no guard in sight.Axel grinned as if he could r

" When will I be getting my payment?" Alpha Scott inquired." Can you not see that the plan didn't work?" Belinda replied. " The agreement was that I get my gold after the fiasco." " How was I supposed to know that he will not kick her out? Maybe if you were believable enough, then we will have no need for this quarrel." Belinda spat.Scott raised his brows in confusion, " Now this is my fault? A man decided to forgive his wife, maybe it's your plans that need reevaluation." He said.Belinda sighed, "I don't want to fight with you, Scott." " Then pay me what you owe me, very simple." He replied. " I will, I just need to figure out something." Belinda sighed." I want my gold delivered in a month." Alpha Scott replied and hung up.Belinda paced in her room, as she tried to come up with a stronger plan.

Scott replied.Zeta was frantic with worry at the expression on Damien's face, she hoped that he didn't believe this man. "What if I tell you that she is not going with you, what will you do?" Alpha Damien challenged, his head was messed up by the information but he stopped himself from acting irrationally." I will not go without her. Like I told these people, I am not here to kill anyone, I came here on her orders, I have proof." He said." Show me the proof," Damien demanded.

" I am tired of being a Luna, sometimes I just wish I can run away from this place. Especially with Damien being so burdensome, he is creeping me out. They expect me to be a perfect Luna almost immediat
