Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Fifty Seven
Once again, the bed was empty by the time I awoke. I felt a hollow in my chest; once more, I would have to hold onto the memories he had left, until his next visit. I was sore, but I managed to get out of bed. I took my pills."Good morning," the voice called, and there Daemon sat, still looking through my notebook."You stayed." "Yes, I did.""Why? I mean, I am happy—you know what? Don't answer that."He gave me a small smile, and it might just be the most human thing I had ever seen him do."You don't have to be uncomfortable around me; I won't harm you." he assured. I couldn't come up with anything to say. "It occurred to me that I don't know anything about you — except that you are the pack healer. I didn't know you drew. This drawing is really nice.""Thank you. I have been drawing and painting for years now; it’s something I do to keep calm."This was the most he had said since I knew him, and I wanted to keep the conversation going, but I didn't want to say the wrong words."W

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

“Walk with me,” Alexander said to me.Many curious gazes followed us.“Where to?” I inquired.“To the Dining Room.”“I’m not hungry.”“But I am, so come with me.”I clenched my teeth, following after him.“How do you feel?” he asked.“Really? You are going to ask me that question?”“Last night, you felt it, didn’t you?”“I’m sure you were so happy and satisfied knowing I was in pain.” He passed me a vial filled with a clear, thick liquid. “What is this?”“Something I should have given you earlier. You should take it; while it won’t completely take the pain away, you would barely feel it.” he explained.“I don’t need it.”“You don’t have to be stubborn, Kaida; it will do you no good. Tormenting yourself is not fearlessness; it’s stupidity.”“If I can endure being with you, then no amount of torment is too grave to endure.” With that I walked past him, heading back to my room. I had lost my appetite.…I stood at the balcony, all I could think about was my father. He was all alone—I sh

I hadn't realized when I had fallen asleep on the couch until something woke me— pain.My whole body seemed to be on fire. I knew what was happening; how the hell hadn’t I thought about it? We were fated mates; of course, if he was with his whores, I was going to know—I was going to feel it.After Alexander had marked me, he walked out of the room. I knew exactly what he was off to do, and I didn’t care; I was happy to have the room all to myself. I didn’t realize what I would have to endure while he was having fun, but I had been through worse. He knew what he was doing, and if he thought even for a second that this would make me change my mind about going to bed with him, then he was wrong; I’d rather endure it.I managed to draw myself a bath; I was hoping this would help ease the pain, but of course it didn’t. It went on for longer than I expected, but finally it came to an end.I got dressed, making sure I was fully clothed. I couldn’t sleep, and so I spent my time practicing wit

KAIDA’S POVAric brought me a few of my belongings—the little he had managed to pack on such short notice. I had refused to wear anything the Alpha King had selected for me, good thing I now had options."Thank you," I said to him, and he nodded, a slight smile on his face.“Some of the pack members have already been moved here; the rest will have to wait till there are more rooms to accommodate them.”“How is my father?” I asked, The smile on his face faded, replaced by a somber expression. “I guess that’s all the explanation I needed.”“How has the Alpha been to you?”"He has been very loving," I said sarcastically, motioning to the empty room. Alexander had instructed a soldier to lead me to ‘our’ room. And yes, I would be sharing a room with him, I wasn’t looking forward to that.“Kaida…”“No, don’t try comforting me, I don’t need that from you. I know what I have to do and why I am here, he is my mate so I guess it was… meant to be.” I said with a smile that was clearly false.“I
Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Ten
ALEXANDER'S POVKaida Dawn was different.She was different from any other woman I had ever had in my bed.I had discovered she was my mate four years ago, but unlike many other werewolves, the thought of having mates never did intrigue me. I didn’t want to be loyal to anyone; I didn’t want a family, and that’s why I stayed away.And then Alpha Trent Dawn had come to me with his proposal. He was one of the few people in my good books; I knew what he had done for this pack, and I was aware that we owed him a favor. But I did find it strange; He had a Beta, going by the name Aric. Since he had no male children, the Beta could've taken over, and Kaida could've mated him instead. But for some reason… he didn’t hand the pack to his Beta.I had spotted her the moment she walked into the feast. How couldn’t I? Her scent was all over the place. My wolf inside didn’t like the Beta being so close to her, or the fact that they had slept in the very same room, but I reined him in. What happened b
Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Nine
I’d heard other she-wolves talk about how it felt when they met their mates. The scent, the pull—I felt it all.“Do you feel it?” I asked him, and a small smirk spread on his face.“Feel what?” he asked. “The mate bond?”“You knew.” My tone was accusing.“I’ve known for a very long time now, Kaida. Even before I agreed to your father’s proposal.”“How long ago did you know?”“Your father and his beta made constant visits to this pack; your scent was all over them.”“And yet you made no move, why?”“I don’t say this to offend you, but you aren’t exactly my type.”“Oh, I know. I guess brunettes are your type, and maybe you'd have preferred a girl who would fall on her knees and worship the very ground you walk upon, a girl who would obey every single word you utter without questions.”“I would have liked that, but that wasn’t what I was referring to. You see only a few girls shut the doors to love and choose the parts of becoming ‘warriors’. Of course, most times there were reasons beh

It had taken every ounce of willpower in me to return here.But if I was going to be his Luna, then the rules would have to change; I didn’t care who the hell he was.The soldiers escorted me to his chambers. He wasn’t alone. There were about a dozen men seated there, many of whom were middle-aged; they should be the ones people refer to as the king's 'advisors.’Alpha Ethan’s eyes settled on me.The scent was even stronger now, but I was going to rein in my wolf; I was in control, not her, and it's time she knew that. I had expected to see a smirk on his face; after all, he won. I was here because I had no other options, but his face remained unreadable, and maybe that’s one of the many things I found unsettling about him. I couldn’t read his emotions, and I was very good at that. I didn’t like surprises, but the man seated before me had a bottle filled with surprises, waiting and ready for me.“Leave, every one of you.” He ordered, and all the men rose and walked away, leaving me a
Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Seven
My father had told me countless times the story of when I was just a child, and he thought he was going to lose me, he had done everything in his power but it all failed and then he discovered the ‘healer’s lilies’, it healed me. Words could never fully capture what it feels like to stand on the edge of losing a loved one.I didn’t miss my mother much—I never had the chance to know her. She died giving birth to me. All that was left of her were only her pictures. Alpha Trent was a strong man; not many Alphas carry on after the loss of their mates, and yet he did.Now, the very same man I once believed was invincible, laid on his deathbed. I held in the tears because they were of no use. Crying never changes anything.“Kaida, I want you to know that I love you so very much. I know you will take care of this pack, even in my absence.”“I will.” I promised.“You met with the Alpha… I know he might seem…”I cut him off. “He is my mate.”“That… is very convenient.” He said with a small smi

That was it.I was done.Aric had been waiting for me, and as soon as he saw me, he quickly took off his suit and wrapped it around me. I felt like a fool.The moment we were both in the room and alone, he finally spoke up.“What happened?”"There’s not much to explain; it’s all right here," I say, gesturing to my torn clothes.“If he laid a finger on you, I’ll—”“You will what? He is the Alpha King; he is also very strong, and so there isn’t much any of us could do to him.”“Where are you going?”“Packing my stuff and leaving.” “What are you going to say to your father?” he asked.“I wanted to do this—for him, for the pack, but I can’t. The man is a monster; I cannot imagine sharing the same bed with him and his many… whores.I stuffed my things into the bag. I hadn’t brought a lot of things, and so in a few minutes I was packed.“Kaida, I don’t think you should leave now.” Aric says.“Why shouldn’t I?”“At least wait till the feast is over.”“Well, to hell with the etiquette and mo
Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Five
Despite all the warning bells ringing in my head, I walked in and took a seat, just as he had requested of me. I didn’t know many things about this man, but one thing I knew for sure was that he was used to having his command being obeyed.“A drink?” he offered. Pouring me a glass of whiskey.“From where I come from, a girl does not drink.”“This is your home now; soon the Dawn pack will be no more, so get used to it.” He says, passing me the glass, I took it, but I didn’t drink.“You know, it is wrong to refuse a drink from the King.”“I do not drink, and if I will, it won’t be because you told me to.” I said, placing the glass down on the table.Those ruthless eyes pinned me down once more; I felt for my dagger once more.“I’ve heard a thing or two about you. The girl who aspired for greatness, you fought your way into that; you’ve gone to battles and never failed a mission. I admire that, but in this pack, you are just another girl; all you’ve built, everything dies with your pack.
