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

On our way out, more women stared. It was getting unnerving—I wanted to snap at them.I was tempted to show them he was mine by wrapping my arms around his torso, but I wasn’t sure he would like that. He had never been one for such close contact, so I kept my hands to myself. But as if he could read my mind, he wrapped his arm around me—possessively.I stared up at him in surprise."I’m on my best behavior, but if those guys don’t stop undressing you with their eyes, I might have to reconsider," he said. I followed his line of sight, and sure enough, about five guys stood there, watching me. The moment Daemon’s gaze fell on them, they quickly walked away.“You don’t seem to be noticing how almost every female in the building is checking you out.” I said, and his eyes met mine again, making me realize that he truly hadn’t noticed them. How was that even possible? Some had walked past him multiple times just to get a single look from him, I couldn’t help but feel a little sympathy for t

I had never seen anything like this place; it felt more… alive. This had been all I wanted, and here I was. Free of the castle and out in the open. The world was far bigger than I could ever know—far more diverse too. I didn’t realize I was smiling until I noticed his eyes on me. His attention was no longer on the road ahead of us. "It's beautiful," I said after a moment.“I would have done this sooner if I knew how happy it would make you.”"Daemon, thank you for doing this," I said, and for a moment, our eyes locked. I reddened and looked away. "Where are we going?" I asked to fill the silence."To watch a movie. It’s a rewrite of Romeo and Juliet," he said.For some reason, I couldn’t help but laugh."What?" he questioned."Who would have thought? The Demon Overlord watches movies.""I like to see myself as a normal person at times.""But there is nothing normal about you.""I've been good since we arrived here. That should win me some points in normality, shouldn't it?"“Yes, I gu

The mist disappeared, giving way to a completely different location. Daemon’s hand steadied me.“Are you alright?” he asked. I could only nod. Our ‘travel’ had been one of the strangest experiences I had ever encountered.“Where are we?” I asked, scanning the unfamiliar surroundings.“In a museum.”I glanced around, noting the towering dinosaur skeleton, the paintings, and the sculptures. The more I observed, the more I appreciated the beauty of each piece. This museum was unlike anything I had ever seen, it fascinated me.“That painting… it’s so beautiful,” I said to Daemon.“Yes, it is,” he agreed. Daemon had his hands shoved in his pockets, standing still while I moved around, gushing over the beautiful artifacts. “Humans have this obsession with preserving things from the past.”I paused.“Humans?” I repeated. He nodded.“If you haven’t noticed, we’ve traveled far from home.” He took my hands in his and led me to the door. A guard sat in a small booth, his posture relaxed—until h

ALIYA’S POVDaemon had kept his distance, reminding me once again of the times back at the castle when he would withdraw into himself. He had a lot on his mind, none of which he was willing to share with me.I didn’t miss the fact that he seemed to enjoy my company, even though he never made a move on me—and I wasn’t sure how that made me feel. As the days went by, I found myself settling into this ‘new life.’ It didn’t seem so… bad, now that I knew Daemon wasn’t about to end my life anytime soon. But there was still one problem—Tasha.It didn’t take a genius to see that she was jealous. Daemon fed from her, but beyond that, she was just another person living in his house. He never seemed to look at her twice, despite her efforts. The twins were nicer, but they mostly kept to themselves. Tasha had no interest in making friends with them—or with me, for that matter.Today, something changed.Lying on the bed in Daemon's room, I felt trapped. It shouldn’t have bothered me—I had lived my

"Is there anything else I should be aware of?" I questioned my advisors. Once again, they seemed to be holding something back—I could tell."We worry about what will happen when the news reaches the other packs," Austin says, giving me a look that suggests I read between the lines and figure out what he isn't saying. When he realizes I’m not catching on, he speaks up. "There has never been a female Alpha before. There will be a lot of opinions—especially with you being the… Alpha Queen. The others might not accept this change,"“We should be ready for anything. The other packs might see this change as a sign of weakness and think it’s the best time to attack. The Nightshade pack might have been enjoying peace for years, but it would be foolish to think that that would continue.”“When they attack, we will be ready, we will go to war and I will take the front lines and prove to them how wrong they are.”Phil nodded, and with that, I dismissed them.As I stepped out of the meeting room,

Austin helped me back to the pack house. I was filthy, covered in mud—but I didn’t care.“Gather the council of advisors.” I instructed him.“Now?” he asked, surprised. “You should rest, Luna. You are in no condition…”“I gave you an order.” I said and that seemed to surprise him too, he nodded before turning away.I stripped off my filthy clothes, took a quick bath, and stepped into another leather outfit—identical to the one before. My hair, still damp, was twisted into a bun before I headed to the meeting room.I had expected to be bombarded with questions from the advisors; I had expected some of them with frowns on their faces. I was ready to take all the disappointed looks casted at me, but what I wasn’t ready for was to find all the seats unoccupied—all except two.Austin and Phil.“Where are the others?” I questioned.“Erh… Luna, I really don’t think this is the right time…”I cut Austin off for the second time. “Where are the others?” I repeated.“They left.”“What do you mea

The bond was gone, leaving a void in my chest. But what I felt for him didn’t change. Despite the fact that we were no longer mates, I still loved him. I was right—what we had was beyond the mate bond.I had given up far too quickly, I realized. I wasn’t willing to let him go just yet.The crowd was gone by the time I returned to the healing room. I stood by the door of the room where Alexander had been kept, contemplating what to say. I could apologize again, but something told me it wouldn’t be enough. He believed I could ‘move on,’ but he needed to see that I never would—that I could never love another. My heart belonged to him, mate bond or not. Nothing had changed. And maybe, if he saw that, he would change his mind.Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door. No response. I lifted my hand to try again when the door creaked open.I pushed it fully open—only to find the bed empty.His scent in the room was still strong, enough to tell me he hadn’t been gone for long. I walked int

The disappointment in his voice was even harder to bear than the betrayal I had suffered from people I once called friends."I should have told you, but I knew you would’ve kept assuring me you were fine—even when we both knew you were dying inside. She said you were going to die, whether you stopped or continued with the doses. I just… couldn’t lose you.""Who is this ‘she’ you are referring to?” he asked, and I immediately realized my slip."I… it doesn’t matter. You’re alive, and that’s what’s important."Slowly, he let go of me, and I instantly missed his warmth. “How does it feel?”“What?”“To be so close to achieving your dreams?” he asked. I wanted to tell him I didn’t care anymore about the goddamn title; all I wanted was to have him by my side. I wanted him, but before I could tell him just that, he spoke on. “I hope it was worth it.”Those final words had felt like some kind of goodbye.“I, Ethan Alexander Darkwood, reject you, Kaida Dawn, as my fated mate.” He said.Seeing

There was something different about the way he looked at me—the way he regarded me. I saw it in the way his body tensed the moment I stepped inside. He saw me as a threat, and it took a moment to understand why. Cynthia had taken my form when she approached him, making him believe it was me. The moment his guard dropped, she struck.But what he remembered was me stabbing him—my face, my hands, delivering the blow.“Alexander,” I whispered, unable to say anything more. He only stared at me, as if trying to read me. I had wanted to see him so badly, but I hadn’t stopped for even a moment to think about what I would say to him when we met.“The Cursed Weapon—how did you find it?” he asked.“I don’t understand.”“The dagger you used on me.”The cursed weapon, I’ve heard about that too. History says the Elders had been the original keepers of the steel; that had been before they were killed. The weapon had the ability to take away one’s wolf. It made more sense now, what Cynthia was saying
