Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter One Hundred and Nine
Thane was severely injured but still alive. That was all that mattered.“He would be fine,” Axel assured me once again, but I couldn’t stop pacing up and down the hallways; why couldn’t they let us see him yet?I wasn’t the only one worried. Beatrix sat on one of the waiting benches; her only visible sign of nervousness was the constant tapping on her thigh.Finally, the door was pulled open, and I rushed to Bailey. I had learned that she was also a healer, though she didn’t really specialize in that, but she was the only one who could help him at this moment, so I had to swallow down the jealousy. All that mattered was that he was fine and alive. “Is he alright?” I asked the elder.“He is healing well." Bailey responded“I have to see him, Elder.”“He had asked only for a certain Beatrix.” Bailey says, and Beatrix herself looked surprised at that.“And I am his Luna,” I said, furious at her, at myself, and at everything.“Then I apologize,” Bailey says, letting Beatrix alone in. “Yo

I was done keeping silent; now we had to talk, and I was no longer going to keep all my insecurities to myself.“I thought you didn’t want me there because... I was no longer of use to you,” I admitted.“Why would you think that?” He questions, genuinely curious.“Maybe because you hadn’t bothered to tell me about the plan. I know it was all intentional; you thought my little act would fool the elders even more, but I was worried sick Thane, and you said nothing, but Beatrix knew about the plan. But then why wouldn’t she? She is stronger and better at everything, and, oh, there is also your Ancient Lover; I heard she also had a thing for you. Is like I am always left out on everything and no one cares how that makes me feel? I am always being used like the pawn, but I have feelings too, and you don’t seem to care. I feel like this is all one-sided; all I feel for you... you don’t feel the same, and you have every right to because I was the one who fell in love. You did warn me that I

“Wine?” Thane offered, and I gave a nod. He poured me a glass, passing it to me. Our fingers came into contact, and every nerve in my body seemed to come alive. He poured another glass for himself, taking it all in one go. He placed the glass back down before slowly stalking towards me. “What are you doing?” “You don’t know what it feels like to be starved for this so long,” he says, his voice low and deep... hungry. He took the almost empty glass from my hands, tossing it away, not caring that it shattered to pieces when it came in contact with the bare floor. “You’ve become like some addiction to me, and without you, I face this... withdrawal symptoms.” He says he was cornering me till I was against the wall. “Let’s check how ready you are,” he says, splitting my legs open. His hands travelled up my skirt, sliding my panties to the side. He dipped a finger into me, and of course I was soaking wet. One thrust and my legs gave out, but his weight against me held me firm. Very ready

Thane had carried me all the way to the car, not minding the stares we were getting; I was still sore, and I needed more than hours to heal.The smile on my face disappeared when I saw Bailey."Alpha,” she says, addressing him and pretending like I wasn’t there. “I am glad to see you are all set; I didn’t expect you to bring her along.”“You will refer to her as the Luna, or my mate, Elder.”Bailey’s eyes finally met mine; she looked young, as if in her early twenties; she had dark hair cut into a bulb framing her tiny face; her eyes were the only unsettling thing about her; never had I seen her look more human than she did now in the brown elegant dress. I once believed that the elders had lived so long that they had all turned cold and numb to natural feelings, but I had been wrong. Bailey had a ‘thing’ for Thane, and it wasn’t shocking; Thane was capable of making a girl weak in the knees—even very ancient ones too.“Luna, we haven’t officially met,” she says, and I remembered vivi

I never thought of myself as beautiful, and maybe he was just saying that out of courtesy.“I... I will show you around,” Felix says as if in loss of words, and Thane gives a nod. I knew Thane didn’t really need a tour; he knew his way around the packhouse; maybe it was more for my benefit.The pack members stopped to stare every time we passed by, bowing as a sign of respect, that was more welcoming than I expected, seeing as Thane had killed their Alpha. They must have hated Slade.Felix talked about everything—from the painting on the wall to the rooms and who they belonged to.“This part of the packhouse belongs to the commander and high- rank,” Felix droned on. I only caught half of what he had said.“I think I would take over from here,” a woman—not just any woman, but Bailey says. I had been lost in thought; I didn’t realize her heading towards us. “I am Elder Bailey,” she introduced as if Felix didn’t know that already.“Welcome back Elder.” He responds.“You could leave us no

Thane was in a red cloak; his amber eyes seemed a shade darker. I hadn’t realized how tall and intimidating he was till now; there was something about him that was... Threatening.I had this feeling that something bad was about to happen. Maybe it had to do with the fact that Thane, who I had shared the same room with for the past months, hadn't even stared at me once; I might as well have been invisible. I could sense the aura around him, forcing my wolf to bow in submission. Tonight he was indeed different.Bailey led us to the underground structures that had good resemblance to a cave. All the while, I couldn't shake away that feeling that something was off. I was about to walk forward, but Axels’ hand on my shoulder restrained me.“What?” I questioned.“We wait here,” Axel informed me.Bailey and Thane walked forward, leaving us behind, her hand wrapped around his, and my chest tightened. They stopped in the middle of the room.“Alpha Thane of the Nightshade pack, you’ve met all th

One by one, the pack members went down on their knees at the sight of Thane with the crown on his head. He was in nothing but the red robe, yet he looked intimidating as ever. He was an epitome of pure power. He came to a stand on the Dias, Bailey by his side, just about where I was supposed to be.“Today a new king emerges, chosen by the moon. He gives you an option for each and every member of this pack. Knowing your Alpha is dead, would you return back to the Nightshade pack, as it had been, or would you prefer a new leader elected to rule this pack?” Bailey presented.Commander Felix walked forward.“If I may, my king,” he began with a bow. “The Newblood pack could run into total poverty if not presented with a good leader with influence, and we have none of that. We agree to become a part of the Nightshade pack, as it had been before the split.”“And do you all agree to that?” Bailey questioned.There was a chorus of yesses, almost like they had planned it out.“We would become o

“You love me?” I asked; I couldn’t believe he had said those words.“Yes, I do. I love you, and I am obsessed over you.“You never did need me... at least not to claim the crown,” “Every single day I wonder why I took you; maybe I always knew what I felt for you, but I hid it, Riley. I hid it from you, from Axel, and from myself. Even if I had managed to convince the pack, my father, and the elders that you were my mate, I knew I could never deceive the moon goddess, and Axel didn’t even know that,” Thane says.“Yet you choose me.”“I fell for you, just the same way you did me.”“I love you too, Thane, for now and forever,” I said, and he smiled, lifting me up so I could kiss his lips.“Maybe you could show me just how much you love me,” he says, and I knew just how to do that.~Waking up in Thane’s arms was completely different. I felt complete; I had never felt this happy my whole life, and staring at this fallen angel before me, I let myself accept it, accept the fact that he wou

I sat in front of Thane's door the whole night, pleading and begging, but he never did come, and finally I rose.I had lost him, and it took me this long to see that. I hadn't only lost Axel; I had lost Thane's love too.How did my life turn into this? One moment it all felt like a fairy tale, one I didn't want to wake up from, and now it was a complete nightmare.Some days I questioned the point of my own existence; I had no use remaining here, and yet, I didn't want to leave, maybe because I still had hope that one day Thane would forgive me.I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling, ignoring the knock on the door. I didn't want to see anyone right now, and I knew for a fact that it wasn't Thane. Whoever was behind the door persisted and it got annoying. I rose from the bead, heading for the door. I pulled it open, the frown on my face that disappeared the moment I saw my mother.She hugged me, knowing exactly what I needed. I couldn't help but be a child again and cry in her arms. "

I stared at the mirror; I looked like a mess. I sprayed some cold water on my face; a knock drew my attention.It was a maid."Can I help you?" I questioned."The Alpha sent me to pick up a file he left here. It must be that one." She said, pointing to the file on the table. She walked in, picking it up."You know what? I'll hand it to him." I said, taking the file from her hand. She seemed unsure."As you wish Luna," she said."Uhmm, where is he now?""The third room on the fifth floor," she said, and I nodded."Got it.".I knocked on the door to his ‘new’ room, and after a minute the door was pulled opened. Thane stared at me."What are you doing here?" He asked like I was some complete stranger, an intruder, but I couldn't blame him."I brought your files."He collected it, about to slam the door, but I placed a foot in the threshold. I pushed the door open and walked in."You've been avoiding me lately." I said to him, but he gave no response. He took a seat, opening the file and

The next few days I spent them with Thane; he was still in coma. The healers had to extract all of the toxin the elders had passed into his bloodstream; only then would the healing process begin, and from their report, he was doing well, but he still had a few more days to recover.I wiped his face with a wet towel; next, I gently brushed through his hair. I placed a kiss on his forehead and then his lips. I knew that when he awoke, things wouldn't be like they used to. I returned back to my room to take a bath before joining him once again.I couldn't bear the solitude of my room; I always ended up breaking into tears. I hadn't realized I was sleeping until the sharp intake of breathe jolted me awake. Thane was awake.The healers had said he would be down for a few more days, but he woke earlier than they had predicted; my heart pounded for the first time in excitement; I was so scared, I couldn't lose him too. "Thane!" I cried out, running to him to embrace him, but his cold star

A rock fell inches away from me, and I only managed to dodge it. Axel was losing a lot of blood. I knew what was about to happen, but I didn't want to think about it. It just couldn't."Riley, please listen to me." he said, and I turned to him; sweat coated his face and his breathing was laboured. "I can't make it, Riley. You know that, but if you go, you can save yourself and save Thane.""Please, Axel, we can make it alive, the both of us.""Look at me, Riley," he pleaded, and I did. "Kiss me."Tears rolled down my eyes as I leaned to him and kissed him. I wouldn't let him go; I just can't. "I love you, from the very first time I met..." he took a long breath. "But you were never mine, and yet that didn't stop me from wanting you. Don't blame yourself for this; you, Riley, were the best thing that had ever happened to me.""But Thane... he hates me.""No, he doesn't; reason with him; make him... make him understand." Axel coughed out blood. "Go now, get him, and leave this place.""

EARLIERBailey was still in here somewhere. I walked cautiously down the passage ways and I spotted yet another room. I pushed open the door and walked in. The room was similar to the one I had been kept in earlier, but she wasn't in here either.I needed a weapon; the sword alone wouldn't do to kill an elder as powerful as she was so I searched through the room. I pulled open a cabinet, and there I found more syringes filled with black serum, the very same ones used on Thane. I was almost certain of it. I would have to take a gamble with this. From what Bailey told me, this was created by the elders as a bane for Lycans, I could only hope it had some effect on her too, if it didn't work on her, then I was doomed.I strode out of the room, and there she was, standing at the very end of the passageway."So you've come to kill me." Bailey said with a smile on her face. "You know, Nyaos has been killed by your mate" She said to me.I couldn't exactly say I felt bad for that.I chose to r

THANE'S POVThe door opened, and Caleb walked in, his hands up as if in surrender. My beta, Axel followed, a gun pointed to his head."Free him," Axel said.Caleb walked to me, taking out the pipes. "The chains too." Axel said, and I could tell Caleb was not going to do that.Axel shot at his leg, but Caleb was strong—maybe even the strongest of all the elders. In the next second, Axel's gun was in his hands, and the table turned."Let him go, Caleb; it's me you want." I warned."You are right." Caleb says, "But I want him dead too."He shot at Axel. I growled, pulling at the chains; they burned my skin. He aimed for me next, pulling the trigger, but the gun was empty of bullets, and he tossed it to the ground."In every single room, I had planted a bomb; all I need to do is press the button, and everything would go 'boom'; everyone in this building would die, and I alone would be left. After a while, you will be forgotten, but for me, I'll take over from you; I will be known and fea

Axel unsheathed his sword before striding towards Nick.Nick let out his wing, flying right over us, but Axel leaped into the air, bringing him down by his wing. Axel pinned Nick down, holding both wings. I watched in amazement as Axel sliced them off, and Nick roared in pain, the bones where his wings had been attached prodded out of his back.Axel passed the blood stained sword to me. I limped to where Nick lay groaning in agony."Didn't I tell you, I will kill you?" Now kneel." I said, and he rose, falling on his knees. "Riley I..."I didn't let him say more; in a clean swipe, I incapacitated his head from the rest of his body.Axel took off his leather jacket and helped me put it on."I know a way out." Axel says, leading me out of the room, we walked down the hallways to an open space."Going somewhere?" A voice called from behind us. Bailey.She held a crossbow in her hands. "Nyaos is dead. Thane killed him. I guess this means our deal is… off."She shot the crossbow at me, bu

RILEY"It's girls time, Nick; you should leave." Bailey said to him, and he gave me a long look before leaving both of us alone. "I didn't remember telling you to stop with the dagger," she said."It fell." I lied.I didn't know if she bought that, but she spoke no more about it, taking a seat beside me."I'm going to tell you a story, one I had never told anyone before. Well, you would die in the end, so it makes no difference.I was in love once. I don't mean the casual crushes and those little feelings girls have. I was in love with Nyaos; he had always been there for me when I needed him; he helped me so many times; I can't even count the number of times he had saved my life. But Nyaos loved another; I was the ‘other woman’, and I knew that. Katara believed we were good friends; she trusted me; she trusted the both of us, and I knew what we did behind her back was very wrong, but I couldn't help myself. Nyaos said he loved us both, and though I always wanted more, I could settle

CAUTION: THERE WOULD BE VIOLENT SCENES IN THE FOLLOWING CHAPTERS; PLEASE READ WITH CAUTION.THANE.I could do it; I knew I could break through the chains. Rage is one powerful thing. I pulled hard, and the chains broke off. I ripped out the pipes that had been used to pass the fluids into my bloodstream, and I staggered to my feet. I heard footsteps approaching, and I positioned myself beside the door. Nyaos walked in; he noticed the empty chair, I could smell his fear; he should be afraid. I shut the door behind him, and only then did he notice me; he turned, his eyes widening in terror as I plunged my hand into his chest, past the crunch of his ribcage, and deep into his heart. His mouth opened, frozen in a silent scream."The cursed weapon isn't the only way to kill an elder." I whispered before I pulled his heart out. The sight of blood was so intoxicating it ignited a lust for blood in me, I wanted to spill more blood. An elder had been brought to nothing in a matter of minutes
