RILEY

"Finally you show up." I muttered, letting Thane in.

"Are you mad at me?" he asked; of course he sensed that almost immediately.

"No, I'm not."

"You sound mad, Riley."

"How did you think I would feel? I hate the fact that you have to be with her."

"You said this was what you wanted. I wanted none of this, but I did it for you, and now you are going to put it all on me?"

"I didn't know what I was thinking."

"So does that mean you'll return back to the room and stop all these?"

I shook my head but said nothing.

"When I brought up the idea of both of you in one room, it didn't occur to me that you will both have to share a bed."

"You saw that, didn't you?"

"Yes, I did."

"Nothing went on between the both of us."

"I know that, but I couldn't help but see how perfectly matched the both of you were. She had her legs wrapped around you, and you seem to enjoy her company. I don't know what to think anymore."

"I love you."

"Where is it? I keep hearing those words, but I can't see it; I ca

    Maybe Thane was right; I didn't have to push him away. Isabella could stick around, but that didn't mean I would have to leave just so she could be with him. I made a decision. I was going to fight for what belonged to me..When I returned back to Thane's room, I was met with the sight of Thane on the floor, unconscious; claw marks marred his body, and a few more identical marks on Isabella."What's wrong?" I asked her."It happened again, and it's getting worse.""You need a healer.""No, I will heal, and so will he.""How can I help? Just tell me what to do.""Nothing. There is nothing you can do Riley, and it's not safe for you to be around him anymore.""I'll be the one to decide that.""Riley. You need to listen to me. I thought this would work, but it won't. You cannot be around him.""But you can?""Do you know what happened to Logan's mate?""He told you about Logan?" I asked, feeling a bit betrayed."No, he didn't. I've been getting some fragments of my memory back. Logan ha

    TRIGGER WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CHAPTERS CONTAIN TRIGGERING CONTENT; READ WITH CAUTION.Tears streamed down my face as I stared at Daisy’s lifeless body; her eyes were still open, frozen in shock.“Why would you do this? She did nothing to you!”“Here you go, once again, caring for the same person who betrayed you.”“You did this; you messed with her head.”“She was far gone, Riley. I would have let her go, but she is going to get all crazy and try to find me. She was a loose end; I had to kill her.”“You didn’t have to, but you did anyway because you are nothing but a monster.”“I made her death quick; I should get some points for that, don’t you think?”I punched him in the face; it could have fazed any werewolf, but he wasn’t one. “I am stronger than you, Riley. You are only half demon; you don't really think you can really harm me, do you?”I threw another punch at him, but he caught my wrist midair. I pulled free of his grasp before letting out my wings, I darted towards the windo

    “You cannot force me into loving you, Daemon.”“I can and I will.” Daemon shrugged his suit off and began unbuttoning his shirt. “What are you doing?” He gave no response. I scrambled out of the bed, but he caught up to me. “Don’t think your little stunt won’t go unpunished, Riley.” He says, taking off his belt.“You wouldn’t dare.”“I saw your son, Ethan. He is one cute little thing.” Daemon said with a smirk playing on his lips. I could see the unspoken threat.“No, not Ethan, please no!” I sobbed.“I didn’t hurt him... not yet, but now you know what I would do if you don’t cooperate, little Riley.”“Don’t do anything to him.”“I promise you, Riley, if you stop acting like a bitch, then I wouldn’t hurt him.”“I won’t; I will behave.”“Good girl. Now strip.”“What?”“Don’t make me repeat myself.”“I know you, Daemon; you are better than this.”“I’m not, and soon you will understand that. Now strip.”He watched me as I took off my clothes; when I was completely naked, he positioned

    Daemon placed the pack of ice on my wrist. Sometimes, I couldn't even understand him. One moment he is the nice guy, and the next moment he is the villain, a total monster. It had been the other part of him I saw that made me believe I could change him.He took a seat on the couch, going through a notebook."You read; that is surprising.""No, this is not a novel.""Then what is it?""I picked it up from Daisy's room; I couldn't leave it behind.""It belonged to her?" I asked, and he nodded."She seemed to love drawing a lot," he said with a small smile."You liked her," I stated."I felt something for her." He admitted."Then why did you kill her? It makes no sense; she loved you back.""Because she wanted to be with me.""And why is that a problem?""You think I don't know about Isabella and Thane?""Leave Thane out of this.""He keeps taking you for granted over and over again; she is his mate for fuck's sake. He should have let her go the moment he set eyes on her, yet he'd rather

    I didn't sleep all night. Finally, when It was dawn, I rose from the bed and headed into the bathroom, rummaging through the closets for my clothes. They weren't here; I only found a robe, and so I put it on quickly before returning back into the room."Riley. What are you doing? Come back to bed, you need some more rest." Daemon muttered."I'm sorry." I said, and with that I threw the blinds open. He should have never told me about his newfound weakness. The sun burnt his skin, I didn't wait to watch him die. I raced down the stairs and out of the main entrance door, and I froze. The house was practically in the middle of nowhere; snow covered the ground. Where exactly was this place?The drugs he had used on me prevented me from using my wings, and so I ran on my feet; the wild wind blew through my hair, causing my eyes to water, but I couldn't stop running. After a few hours, I slowed down, I couldn't run anymore; My breaths were shallow and foggy, visible in the cold air. With e

    ISABELLAEARLIER…I knew about Logan Diminitri’s visit; I also knew about their plan to find a cure.Thane didn't like the control I had over him, I knew it would come to this. I wondered what I would be to him when he had found the cure. I won't be of any use to him if that happened, he would have no reason to let me stay at the pack.Was it selfish that I didn't exactly want him to find a cure?I stared at him lying on the bed. It was still there, his feelings for me were still somewhere in there but he would never admit it because he loved her more.I was becoming a different version of myself, and I didn't like it one bit. Thane needed the cure; I knew this would only get worse if he didn't find it, yet a part of me didn't want him to find the cure, and then Riley—I had sent her away because I wanted to be alone with Thane; I wanted him to wake up to my presence; I wanted him to see that I would always be there for him. It was a selfish thing to do, and here I was, alone with him

    RILEY"Change of plans." Daemon said, a frown etched to his face. "You will pay a visit to your pack.""What?" I questioned, this must be some kind of a trick."You heard me right. Maybe I underestimated Thane's feelings for you; I'd rather not take the risk, so it's time to end this off the right way.""End what?""You will say your last goodbyes to Thane, just so he will stop searching. He had involved Bruce, your father, in this, and now I have even more enemies, but it wouldn't be so if you told him how much you love me and how you plan to live the rest of your life with me.""You are going to force me into doing this too?" I asked."Yes, I will.""I will do as you said, but leave the people I care about and every other person out of this.""Of course," he promised. "I'll be back in an hour; I'll leave you to prepare a very convincing speech," he said before leaving me alone. I stared at Daisy's notebook.

    THANEMaybe it had been because this had happened once before, or maybe because despite her words, I still saw through her.She didn't mean any of it; she must have been forced. I wondered what Daemon could have over her.Riley would never move on without Ethan.I slipped my hands into my pocket, and I noticed a piece of paper. I was sure it hadn't been there a while ago. I pulled it out. Riley must have slipped it into my pocket, maybe at the time she hugged me. I couldn't help but smirk; that was a smart move. On the paper were written three words that seemed to be scrambled in a haste. 'Use the pendant.' ..."Thank you for coming." Bruce said, letting me in.The building was a perfect hideout; the outside made it seem like this was an abandoned space, but inside was completely… different."Did you bring the pendant along?" he asked, and I nodded, tossing the emerald pendant to him; he caught it.I spotted a mid aged woman, she stood by his side with a smile that looked too fake

    PRESENT.I pulled my wings back, making them vanish as I stepped out of the circle."Hello, Brother," I said to the Alpha King, my half-brother.He saw me as a threat, of course, and he was right to. My gaze shifted to the second figure in the room—Jade."An old bat who just refuses to die. You're tough, I'll give you that."Jade's eyes shot daggers at him. “I haven’t forgotten you stole from me.”“It was never yours to keep.” I responded. Many years ago, I had taken the amulet from her possession, cementing my place as the Demon Overlord."This is not over," she said, pointing a crooked hand at me before turning to Ethan—or as he preferred to be called, Alexander."I've done as you asked. Just so you know, I might not be available if you reach out again," she added, then turned and walked toward the balcony. She pushed open the windows and leaped down.The werewolf queen gasped, walking to the railing to look below, and a bird flew up, its eyes the same color as Jade’s. It was no su

    DAEMON’S POVEarlier…I stood before the house I had set ablaze, watching as it burned to the ground.I was a fool to believe I could ever have a silent life. Part of me had craved that kind of peace, while another part longed for more—wanting to rule and, at the same time, have the girl I loved by my side. I wanted both, and that was the problem: I could only choose one.I picked wrong.I stared at the amulet, the only thing I had retrieved from the house I had set on fire.I had promised to protect her; I had promised to keep her safe and away from harm’s way, and I failed. The moment she was taken, I returned to the castle to find her, but the empresses weren’t as unwise as they had been before. They had found the strongest witches and sorceresses to cast a spell on the castle, preventing my entry. The spell was strong enough to serve its purpose, but it must’ve drained those who had cast it. They would need months to recover.But like every spell, it would fade eventually, and tha

    KADIA’S POVIt was already late at night. I’d spent the hours patrolling alongside Alexander. Well, we’d done a little more than just patrolling.A slow smile curled my lips at the memory of Alexander taking me right there on the hard forest ground."We’re supposed to be watching over the pack borders," I’d reminded him as he kissed me."I’m still very much alert. I think I can do both at a time," he’d replied.I now had dirt, crumpled leaves, and a few stubborn twigs tangled in my hair. Alexander didn’t look much better, but he still managed to pull off that rough, roguish charm that made my stomach flutter.We walked to our apartment together, stopping in front of the door.“Keep looking at me like that,” he said with a grin, “and we won’t be sleeping much tonight.”“I’m not staring,” I lied, immediately looking away with a blush creeping on my cheeks.He smiled. “You can stare all you want, baby. I’m all yours.”His words stirred butterflies in my stomach. Maybe it really was going

    Right before we reached the front yard, a man who looked to be in his late forties stepped outside, a hunter’s rifle in his hand, aimed directly at us.Ash instinctively placed his body right in front of mine to shield me.“Bruce. It’s me.”The man didn’t lower the weapon for a long while, and I worried he might shoot. Just then, another woman stepped out. She seemed a few years older."Bruce, put the gun down," she said, her tone affectionate. It was clear that they shared some kind of bond—either siblings or a couple.The man whose name I just realized was Bruce finally put down his weapon. He walked towards us.“What are you doing here?” he asked, fury laced with his words.“I knew you told me not to return here, but I had to. This is the only place she can be safe.”Ash stepped aside to reveal me, and the man’s eyes met mine. But unlike the many lustful stares that usually fixated on my cleavage, he simply looked away. I wondered if the spell Agatha had put on me was still lingeri

    I couldn’t leave him behind, so I stood beside him. “I’m not leaving you here.”He seemed about to argue but thought better of it. From the woods emerged five figures. Not people—I'd seen them before. The undead. Hellish, blind creatures, dead but somehow still alive.Without hesitation, Ash drew a gun I hadn’t realized he was carrying and fired. I pressed my hands to my ears in an attempt to block out the deafening sound, but it did no good. Soon, the five creatures were on the ground. They weren’t dead—the bullet in their heads didn’t kill them, but it was enough to buy us some time to escape.Ash was fast, but he had to slow down for my sake. I could hear the creatures pursuing us, closing in with each passing second. Of course, this was the moment I had to trip over a rock. I fell to the ground. One of the creatures grabbed hold of my leg, and I let out a scream. Ash pried it off me and somehow managed to toss the creature—roughly the size of a full-grown man—away.Soon, I spotted

    We drove in complete silence. I didn’t know where he was taking me to, but I didn’t care to ask.“Aliyah, I’m sorry,” Ash says, sparing a glance at me. “It was dangerous of me to tell the Empress your location. They could have killed you, and it would’ve been entirely my fault. But I couldn’t bear to do nothing—not when I knew what he does to you.”I couldn’t look at him.“I’m really sorry, okay? I know I had no right to force all this on you.” He tried again, but when I remained silent, he gave up.A few minutes passed in silence before I finally said, “You were right.”His eyes snapped to mine.“I shouldn’t have let him… feed from me. It was stupid. But after being locked in a castle and controlled for most of my life, I guess I craved something reckless—something fun. And maybe that’s what draws me to him.” I looked away. “I know he’s dangerous, but I’ve spent my whole life being kept away from danger. I want to know what it feels like to abandon caution. I miss him… And I miss him

    “It’s not much, but it should do,” Ash said, referring to the worn-out dark red car. I didn’t care what vehicle we used, as long as it got us out of the city. I opened the door and slid into the shotgun seat. Ash walked around the car and took the driver’s seat. The car was big enough to comfortably fit five people. Ash reversed and then drove through the busy city streets. I couldn’t help but worry—what if the spell had worn off? By the time we reached the city gates, I was beside myself with anxiety.“Aliyah, the only reason we’d get caught is if you make it look too suspicious,” he warned, and I tried to calm him.We stopped in front of the soldiers. There hadn’t been this many the last time Daemon and I left this place. Perhaps security had been tightened since then—it made sense, but as of now, it wasn’t exactly working in our favor.A single soldier stepped forward and peered into the car. I kept my hair down, hoping it helped with the disguise.“I’m on an errand for the Empr

    Still in shock, I didn’t realize there was another person in the hut until he spoke.“Aliyah,” Ash called as he walked toward me, his eyes scanning me as if checking for injuries. I was in a robe, my hair still wet, but the only visible scars were the healing bite marks on my neck. I quickly hid them with my hair, but of course, he had already seen them.“I’m sorry I couldn’t come sooner,” he said genuinely.“There’s nothing to be sorry about; at least you came,” I said, relieved to be away from the castle. My gaze returned to the old woman, who stood there watching us. I couldn’t help but find her a little creepy. Today, she had black tribal markings painted on her face, “She’s a witch,” Ash said.“I thought she was just a fortune teller.”“Thankfully, she’s not.”“How do you know her?” I questioned.“Well, it’s a long story, but I’ve known Agatha for a while.”He knew her name?“Just keep in mind, I won’t be doing you any more favors, wolf boy.”Wolf boy?“Understood and thank you.

  • Contractually Yours, Alpha   Chapter Two Hundred and Fourteen

    ALIYAH’S POVWith each passing day, I began to doubt everything I had once believed. I knew what the Empresses wanted—at least that was clear—but Daemon? I wasn’t sure about anything anymore. Had everything he’d done for me been part of some manipulation scheme? Had he been trying to deceive me all over again?If he’d really loved me, he should have taken me away from this place by now. But he was nowhere to be found. And as the days dragged on, I felt myself breaking apart—losing faith in him. Had he ever truly loved me?And then there was the urge. I think about it every second that passes—the feeling of being bitten. I had been warned; I knew the consequences. I’d seen what happened to Tasha, how she’d gone mad, willing to do anything for a single bite. And yet, I let it happen. Now, I might have to face the consequences.The door to my room creaks open, snapping me out of my thoughts. Julia walks in—and of course, still no food."You stink," she said, nose scrunched up in what I a
