Contract Love With Alpha Chapter 9 : Disrepectful Woman
Milana's POVThe woman's gaze raked over me like a blade, dissecting every part of my appearance and judging me with each passing second. Her stare was far too familiar—the same cold, dismissive look I had endured from others in my old pack. It made my stomach churn with discomfort, and I felt the weight of her silent judgment press down on me.Trying to regain some semblance of control over the situation, I swallowed the lump in my throat. "I think we're done here," I said, attempting to sound firm. Rising abruptly from my chair, I avoided meeting her eyes, hoping to escape the suffocating atmosphere of the room.But as I moved, the sinking realization hit me—I was alone. Erna, my one source of comfort, was nowhere to be seen. She must have stepped out while I was distracted, leaving me to face this sharp-tongued designer alone."Oh, no, darling," the woman said smoothly, her voice laced with condescension. "We're far from done."Before I could react, she reached out and grabbed my w

Milana's POVThe sound of Maximus's voice cut through the room like a whip. I froze, my breath caught in my throat, and my eyes snapped to the towering figure in the doorway. His presence seemed to suck all the air out of the room, leaving a suffocating silence in its wake.I hadn't even noticed when he'd entered, which only added to my growing anxiety. My heart pounded painfully against my ribcage as I registered his scrutinizing gaze. Guilt prickled at the back of my mind—had I done something wrong? Was he angry?Maximus's expression was unreadable, his arms crossed over his broad chest as his eyes swept over the room, landing momentarily on Erna before shifting to me. I could feel the weight of his authority pressing down on me, and it was all I could do to keep from shrinking under his gaze.Before I could explain, the designer broke the silence, stepping forward with a practiced air of calm. "Alpha Maximus," she greeted, her voice smooth and sickly sweet. "I believe there's been

Maximus’ POVI strode down the corridor with Ronan at my side, our boots echoing softly against the polished stone floor. The conversation between us was focused, as always, on the pressing matters of the pack.“There’s still tension along the southern borders,” Ronan said, his brow furrowed. “The scouts report increased activity from the Blood Claw pack, but nothing overtly hostile yet.”“Keep the patrols doubled,” I replied, my voice firm. “We can’t afford to show weakness. If they’re testing us, I want them to see we’re ready for anything.”Ronan nodded, jotting down a mental note as we turned a corner. “And about the supplies for the winter—”“We’ll handle that next week,” I interrupted. My mind was only half on the discussion now, distracted by the thought of Milana.We were making our way toward the meeting room where Milana was with the designer. It wasn’t intentional at first, but as our steps led us in that direction, I found myself curious. Was she done with her fitting? How

Milana’s POVThe dining table was enormous, stretching out far enough that it felt as though Maximus was miles away, even though he sat directly across from me. The polished wood gleamed under the soft light of the chandelier above, the elegant table settings only adding to the grandeur of it all.I sat rigidly in my chair, too afraid to lean back or make any sudden movements that might draw attention. Across the table, Maximus was calm, his every action deliberate. He was cutting into his steak, his focus sharp, yet I could feel his eyes flicker up toward me now and then.“How was your day?” His deep voice made me jump slightly. I wasn’t used to him speaking to me like this, casual yet pointed, as though my response mattered.I placed my fork down and fidgeted with my hands. “It was… fine.”He raised an eyebrow, his expression unreadable but somehow still intimidating. “Fine?”“Yes,” I mumbled, shrinking under his gaze.“Fine isn’t an answer, Milana,” he said, his tone low but firm.

Riana's POVI fidgeted on the edge of my seat and nervously tapped my perfectly manicured nails against the chair's armrest. The rhythmic sound should have been soothing, but it only amplified the tension tightening my chest. My eyes darted around the room, landing on the small group of friends lounging nearby. They laughed softly among themselves, oblivious to my spiraling thoughts.My frustration boiled over. "How can you all sit there so calmly?" I snapped, my voice sharp.The room went silent, the atmosphere instantly tense. Celeste, always quick to react, tilted her head. "What's wrong, Riana?" she asked cautiously, her tone laced with confusion."What's wrong?" I stood abruptly, my gaze sweeping over the group. "We didn't find her body! Don't you understand what that means? Milana might still be alive!"My words seemed to hang in the air, the silence that followed heavy with unspoken questions. It'd been two days, and no one could find her body.Magnus, lounging casually on the

Riana's POVI watched as my friends finally left, their laughter fading as they walked away. Alone, I finally climbed the stairs and went to my mother's room. Pushing the door slightly, I saw her sitting in her favourite chair, her phone pressed to her ear. She was talking animatedly, as always, her voice dripping with pride."Oh, yes, Riana is everything we dreamed of," she said smugly. "Magnus couldn't have chosen better. Together, they'll make an incredible pair, don't you think?"I smiled, leaning against the doorframe, basking in her words. The acknowledgement sent a warm thrill through me. Since news spread about Magnus and me being mates, everyone had been showering us with attention and gifts. I glanced at the neatly wrapped presents on the bed, a glittering pile of proof of my newfound status.While she continued talking, I picked up one of the gifts. It was wrapped in elegant gold paper with a satin ribbon. Carefully, I unwrapped it, my fingers grazing over the velvet box in

Milana's POVI caught my reflection in the full-length mirror and paused, a strange unease bubbling up inside me. The woman staring back looked stunning, her figure draped in the golden-brown gown Max had arranged for me. The fabric shimmered under the light, hugging my body perfectly, making me appear elegant in a way I wasn't used to. I swallowed hard, quietly admitting to myself that I did look beautiful, even if it felt foreign to think so."You look amazing, Luna," Amel said, her eyes bright with admiration.Erna chimed in right after, her tone equally enthusiastic. "Absolutely stunning. You're going to take everyone's breath away."Their words should have calmed me, but my stomach twisted in knots. I pressed a hand against my middle as if that could quell the growing anxiety. The thought of walking into a room filled with strangers—all staring, judging, expecting—made me feel like a caged bird. I wasn't used to this kind of attention. I wasn't built for it.What if I tripped? Wh
Last Updated : 2025-01-06Contract Love With Alpha Chapter 16 : Different Class
Milana's POVThe night air wrapped around me as I stood on the balcony, the distant murmur of the party behind me a faint hum. The cool breeze brushed against my skin, but it wasn't enough to dispel the unease that had settled in my chest. I stared out at the dark expanse of trees, their silhouettes swaying gently under the moonlight, as the words of those women replayed in my mind."Just an omega.""So disappointing."Their dismissive remarks about me, about my place as Maximus's mate, had struck deeper than I cared to admit. I hugged myself tightly, trying to quiet the storm of emotions inside. Was this what my life would be like from now on? Constantly scrutinized, always falling short in the eyes of others?"Shouldn't you be inside enjoying the party?" Max's deep voice startled me, breaking through my thoughts. His hand rested gently on my shoulder, the warmth of his touch both grounding and comforting.I spun around, my heart skipping a beat. " I... I just needed some fresh air,"

Contract Love With Alpha Chapter 37 : She Will Know
Chapter 37Maximus' POVThe office was quiet, save for the soft rustle of papers as I worked through another stack of tedious documents. The scent of aged leather and cedar lingered in the room, grounding me as the weight of responsibility pressed down on my shoulders. This rhythm had become my life—day in and day out, managing the endless intricacies of leading the pack. There was a time when I approached this work enthusiastically, each task a stepping stone to proving myself as Alpha. But nearly a century of leadership had eroded that initial spark, replacing it with the unrelenting grind of obligation. Now, it wasn't passion that kept me at this desk; it was duty, pure and simple.I glanced up briefly, noting Rowan seated across from me in one of the deep leather chairs. His usual composure, an asset I often relied on, was absent today. Subtle signs of unrest betrayed him—his fingers tapped an uneven rhythm on the armrest, his shoulders tensed, and his gaze flickered between me an
Contract Love With Alpha Chapter 36 : Invitation
Milana's POVThe vastness of Springcrest Prowlers Pack territory stretched endlessly in every direction, a reminder of the power of this pack and my insignificance within it. Even after weeks of being here, I still felt small. Everyone around me exuded strength—each wolf seemingly carved from raw dominance and purpose. On the other hand, I had yet to discover where I belonged.The wind carried the earthy scent of the forest and the delicate perfume of blooming wildflowers as I sat quietly in the pack's garden. The scene was undeniably beautiful. The manicured hedges framed bursts of colourful blossoms, and a gentle stream wound through the green expanse, its soft gurgling providing a tranquil soundtrack. The bright sky stretched above like a canvas brushed in vibrant hues of blue and gold.Despite the peace of the setting, unease churned in my chest. The grandeur of this place contrasted sharply with the turmoil inside me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake the feeling that
Contract Love With Alpha Chapter 35 : Need To Learn
Maximus' POVThe morning light streamed through my office windows, casting golden streaks over the polished desk. Stacks of reports and files covered every inch of space, demanding my attention, yet my mind drifted elsewhere. A knock at the door broke through the haze of my thoughts."Come in," I called, my tone sharp, betraying my frustration.Rowan entered my office with the same composed, purposeful stride I had expected from him. The faint scent of pine and fresh earth clung to his clothes, a reminder that while I often found myself trapped in meetings and administrative work, Rowan was still deeply connected to the land and the wolves who called it home. His calm yet efficient demeanor never faltered despite challenges that would have unsettled lesser wolves.He was one of the few whose opinion I valued, a steady force in a world often ruled by emotion and chaos. While others scrambled to gain my favor with half-truths or empty promises, Rowan remained resolutely grounded, speaki
Contract Love With Alpha Chapter 34 : Regret
Magnus' POVThe sharp wind at the pack's border swept through the clearing, stirring the grass and carrying the faint scent of wildflowers. This place, usually my refuge from the weight of responsibilities, offered no solace today. Peace eluded me, lost beneath the turmoil swirling in my mind.My father's revelation about Milana replayed endlessly, a drumbeat of regret growing louder with each passing moment. She wasn't weak—far from it. The girl I had dismissed, humiliated, and ultimately rejected had been stronger than any of us realized. She was destined for greatness—a protector, a force our pack desperately needed. And I had turned my back on her.The weight of that truth pressed heavily on my chest. If only I had seen it sooner and hadn't been so blinded by ambition and arrogance, things might have been different. Instead, I'd chosen what I thought was best for the pack and my future as Alpha, only to discover how wrong I had been.Beside me, Riana sat against the gnarled trunk
Contract Love With Alpha Chapter 33 : The Special One
Magnus' POVThe dining hall, which had just moments ago been filled with the joyful hum of laughter and chatter, now felt stifling under the weight of Alpha Rick's simmering rage. The clatter of silverware had ceased, replaced by an oppressive silence that hung in the air like a storm cloud waiting to break. The once-celebratory energy evaporated, leaving only tension thick enough to choke on.My father stood at the head of the long wooden table, his broad shoulders taut, fists clenched at his sides. His dark eyes, usually sharp and calculating, now blazed with a fury I had rarely witnessed. My father had always embodied unyielding control—a leader who inspired loyalty and fear equally—but now that mask was slipping, revealing a tempest of emotions beneath.I couldn't hide my surprise. Seeing the man who commanded respect from every pack member on the brink of such visible anger was unsettling. His knuckles whitened, and I wondered if the table might splinter under the sheer force of
Contract Love With Alpha Chapter 32 : She Is Important
Magnus' POVThe afternoon sun filtered through the thick branches of the old oak tree, casting dappled shadows over the courtyard. Magnus stood in its shade, arms crossed, eyes fixed on the distant horizon as a restless energy simmered beneath his calm exterior. The weight of expectations and half-truths pressed heavily on his shoulders. He had built this life purposefully, choosing Riana as his mate to strengthen the pack. Everything was supposed to be perfect, yet something gnawed at him—something intangible but insistent.Footsteps crunched against the gravel path behind him. "Magnus?" Riana's voice broke through his thoughts.He didn't turn immediately, taking a slow, measured breath before acknowledging her. She came to stand beside him, a questioning look on her face."You left so abruptly," she said, brushing a stray lock of hair from her face. "Is something wrong?""I just needed a moment," he answered vaguely, his tone carefully controlled.Riana frowned, stepping closer. "Yo
Contract Love With Alpha Chapter 31 : Good Or Not?
Magnus' POVThe morning light streamed through the Alpha's dining hall windows, casting long shadows over the polished wooden floor. The aroma of freshly baked bread and brewed coffee mingled in the air. I sat at the head of the table, sipping from my cup while my mother, Luna Ann, gracefully ate her breakfast. Across from me sat Riana, her smile as perfect as always. Her eyes sparkled with a sense of triumph that had been growing ever since she solidified her place by my side.Still, my thoughts betrayed me. Milana's face hovered in my mind like a ghost refusing to be exorcised. I had decided months ago—rejecting her was supposed to be the right choice. She was a disgrace to her pack, too weak to support the ambitious future I envisioned for our own. I needed strength, not fragility, in a mate.And yet, here I was, haunted by echoes of her presence. The memory of her soft eyes and quiet resilience lingered stubbornly, casting shadows over every interaction I shared with Riana."Magnu
Contract Love With Alpha Chapter 30 : I Knew The Truth
MilanaLife with Max was an intricate blend of comfort and bewilderment, filled with moments that defied my understanding. Our connection's mystery never fully settled, even as our daily routines became more familiar. His presence—both commanding and protective—was a constant, and yet questions loomed over us like shadows refusing to dissipate.One question, however, clung to me relentlessly: How could Max be so sure I would bear his child?His unwavering belief baffled and unsettled me. There were no guarantees in life, no certainties that made his confidence logical, yet he spoke of our future with absolute conviction. I needed to understand why.As evening settled over the penthouse, casting long golden hues across the room, I turned to him, the weight of my thoughts heavy on my chest. " Why are you so sure?" I asked softly, my voice tentative yet firm.Max paused, his knife stilling over the plate. He looked up from his meal, his dark gaze steady. " Because you are my Luna," he sa
Contract Love With Alpha Chapter 29 : Not Sure
MilanaBack at the penthouse, Max hadn't let go of me since we arrived. His arms remained secure around my waist as we sat on the bed, the soft mattress beneath us starkly contrasting the chaos we'd just escaped. Even though our clothes were still wrinkled and dusty from the supermarket ordeal, we neither moved to change or break the quiet stillness.Max held me as if afraid that if he let go, I'd disappear into thin air."You really think I'm going to wander off again, don't you?" I asked, attempting a lighthearted tone despite the weight of the evening."I know you will if I don't keep you close," he retorted, his deep voice tinged with a protectiveness that irritated and warmed me."You're not going to let me out of your sight anytime soon, are you?" I teased."Not a chance." Max's voice was teasing, but the protectiveness lingered beneath it. "You've proven to be a bit of a flight risk.""I was just buying snacks," I reminded him with mock indignation. " I didn't plan on a werewo
