Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Seven
A healer tended to my wounds in the dungeons; Thane had offered that I stay in the available guests room since we both knew I wouldn't be agreeing on returning back to the room we once shared, but I didn’t need his generosity; if he thought I couldn’t handle the cold floors of the dungeons, then he was indeed mistaken.I didn’t like how the healer kept staring at me. I am sure Thane had informed her not to tell anyone about this, but still her gaze was unnerving.“I think that would be all,” she said after the last stitch. “Is there anything else you need?”“No, you may leave,” I said to her, and she rose to her feet and offered a bow before walking away.A few hours passed, and Thane entered with a tray of food. He set it before me, but my gaze remained fixed on the wall, ignoring him entirely.“You’ve lost a lot of blood; you need to eat Riley, please,” he says softly.My eyes never left the wall, and finally he left, giving me some space to think about my escape. Yes, I needed stre

“You are fucking dying; you need to let go of your pride and eat something.”I had the words in mind to respond, yet my throat was so sore, I couldn’t utter a single word. There was a slight fear in his eyes; he was scared I would go through with this.I didn’t think Thane loved me, but I don’t think he wanted me dead either.He attempted spoon-feeding me; I wouldn’t eat a single thing; I wouldn’t let him win. “You either eat or I will make you." I had been about to ask how exactly would he ‘make me’, “There are these pipes that can be used to pass food directly into your body, and I would do that if I had to.”“You have no right,” I say. My voice sounded so tiny.“I am trying to keep you alive.”“And I don’t care. You either let me go, or I’ll die here. I bet you would love to see that.”“What do you want, Riley? I am ready to do any other thing, and I don’t care what it is; say it and it’s done; all you have to do is eat the damn food.”“Anything?” I asked"Anything,” he repeated, a

**THANE’S POV“She is engaged Thane, she was moving on quite well, you need to let her go” Axel says and he was right, but we both knew I wouldn’t do that. I wasn’t going to screw things up the second time. She couldn’t even bear to look me in th eyes anymore, damn she was starving herself just to get back at me and it was working, I couldn't eat either, not with the knowledge that she is down there, cold and starving. I should let her go, that was the easiest way, but it had taken everything in me to make that decision the last time and now, seeing her after two months, I knew I could never let her go, not ever again.“She is mine, my mate” I say, knowing well how stupid that sounded and already knowing what Axel would say next.“You did send her away, I hate to break it to you, but she doesn’t belong to you anymore, she is betrothed to another” he reminds me and I hated that reminder.If only he understood that I couldn’t imagine Riley with any other person, it took everything in me

Hunger pangs gnawed at my stomach, I could almost see myself giving up.Grudgingly, I picked up the glass of water. I could let myself have this; I emptied the cup immediately, and still it wasn't enough to cure my thirst.I had only managed to place the cup down before the door was once again unlocked. I looked up.It was Axel and Thane; that's what I thought till I saw the third figure.Nick.I staggered to my feet, running into his arms. "You are here," I managed to say. I was indeed surprised."What the hell did you do to her?" Nick asked, his eyes blazing with fury."Nick, I'm fine," I say. Thane hadn't harmed me yet; I had been the one who refused his food and shelter."You don't look fine to me," he says. Finally, he turned to Thane. "I am willing to offer you anything you want, so long as you let her go," Nick said. He was furious and only managed to keep it in."What can you offer me, Alpha? There's nothing I'll need from a pack so tiny." Thane said I threw him a glare; he on

THANE'S POVI didn't like the idea of the Raven Clan Leader in there with her. But Riley had been willing to let go of her pride and make a bargain—the very same bargain I had practically begged her for for days.Let's say it hurt my ego that she had so quickly accepted my terms just to have a few minutes with the man. Was he worth that much to her? If I did kill him, how long would she mourn him?That had been the question on my mind."That's it, Axel; I'm going in."He smirked, "It had only been minutes, but I don't like him in there with her either.""We've given her enough time, right?""Not quite enough; if they were 'getting at it' in there, then they would need a few more minutes." Axel taunted.That's the line.I walked to the door and pulled it open.The metallic smell of blood hit my nose triggering an instant alarm, my eyes scanned Riley frantically to make sure she wasn't hurt.She was fine.Oh. If she was hurt, at least that would be my little excuse for killing the man,

RILEY "How do you like this place?" Axel asked, "I mean, if it's not good enough for you, we could arrange something else." "It is fine" I muttered. "Do you need..." "No," I snapped before he could complete his sentence. What the hell was wrong with me? "Okay then, I'll leave you to get settled," he says, before walking away and leaving me all alone. I walked straight to the bathroom. This would be a very long bath. I set the hot bath. Gosh, I missed this. I sat in the tube; the warmth was so welcoming; I leaned against the marble and easily fell asleep. The footsteps woke me up. There Thane stood, always the pervert, watching me bathe. The bubbles had died down, revealing a little too much cleavage. My first instinct was to wrap my hands around my bare parts, but then that would make him know how his gaze still affected me. Instead, I remained in the bathtub, making no move to cover up. "Why are you here?" "I brought some food; you must be famished, just as

"Have you considered the possibility that Bailey masterminded all this?" The moment I said it, everything seemed to click; it does make sense. Bailey had brought the plan up, and when they wouldn't go with it, she decided to take the lead. "Bailey hasn't left the pack since the incident; I don't think she is behind this," Thane disagreed. "Hear me out. Bailey has every reason to hate you. Do you remember the deal you never kept your part to?, or the fact that after I left she might have hoped you would finally make a move, but you didn't." "She seems to have moved on Riley." "That might be what she wants you to think. Do you really think she could move on after 'everything'? She did sacrifice a lot, but of course that's just a speculation." I noticed how close I've drawn to him, and I immediately pulled back, instantly missing his warmth. "I'll keep a close eye on her," he promised. "We can't keep you hidden here forever, I wonder if you are ready to officially meet the p

I lay nude on the bed. I wasn't alone; Thane and Axel were both present. I had been cuffed to the bed post. A rush of excitement filled me when I spotted the silver Kengel balls; Axel rolled one slowly around his fingers. He walked to my naked form, and Thane took his position, watching. I stared at him, even as I felt the cold silver ball against my already wet entry. I moaned out Thane's name as Axel touched me. He went in and out with the balls, and just when I thought I couldn't take more, he pulled the balls out, going down on me and devouring me. I moaned again as his finger dove into me next, pumping in and out. I could feel my muscles grow tight as I reached my climate, and I shattered into a million pieces, crying out his name. I awoke with a start. I could feel the moisture between my leg and I wasn't alone now either. Axel paused at the door, his amused gaze on me. I knew he could smell my arousal even from there, I turned red. I've heard similar dreams before, but ne

Contractually Yours, Alpha Two Hundred and Eight
The knock on the door cut our moment short.Normally, when a door’s locked, it’s a clear sign that the person inside doesn’t want visitors. But I guess the heads outside couldn’t take the hint.Kaida got back in her dress, and I helped adjust her hair.“How do I look?”“Beautiful.”“Thanks, but not that. Do I look like someone who just had sex?” She asked, and I shook my head.“No, you look fine.”Well, sometimes a little lie was necessary. Her hair, smudged lipstick, and rumpled clothes would surely give her out, but she didn’t need to know that.I pulled the door open to find two teenage girls with wide smiles—smiles that dropped the moment they saw us.Their eyes quickly raked over both of us, immediately figuring out what we'd been up to, and their cheeks flushed deep red."Sorry, we didn’t mean to interrupt. We came to pick up our rented dresses, but we can — just come back… later," one of them stammered, and they both hurried off without waiting for a reply."Hey?" Kaida called,

I found her jealousy amusing.“You’re jealous, aren’t you?”“Why wouldn’t I be? Sure, she might be a good person, but let’s not forget that you two used to have sex. I have every right to feel insecure, especially with the way she kept looking at you…” Kaida trailed off.I watched her, feeling unworthy. She had been faithful to me, even when we had broken things up, but I was stupid enough to think being with other women could take my mind off her.“I was apologizing for what I did to her earlier, and then she found her mate—she hesitated to go to him at first, but changed her mind in the end. That’s about it.”Kaida ran her hands through her thick black hair. “I feel like an insecure fool. I’m really sorry.”“You have nothing to apologize for.”She was staring at something, and I followed her gaze to Lara, who was kissing a dark-skinned guy. I figured that had to be her mate.“Wow. This mate ball turned out to be far more fun than I anticipated.” She said, I lingered on her expressi

I couldn’t take my eyes off her."Care for a dance?” I asked her and she nodded. It didn't seem like she enjoyed parties much.I took her hand and led her to the dance floor, aware of how people kept their distance. Seriously, what did they think? That I’d take their heads off just for bumping into me on the dance floor?This was getting ridiculous. But I couldn’t dwell on that thought any longer—Kaida was staring.“We match,” she said, motioning to my black tuxedo with its dark blue vest and tie. Maybe that wasn’t entirely a coincidence. “And you look really hot in that tuxedo, but then again, when do you not?” Her cheeks reddened. Kaida could be a badass fighter, but she wasn’t always as confident when it came to... well, other things.I stepped closer, letting her feel the subtle shift of my arousal. “Giving me compliments like that in public is dangerous.”She let out a breathy laugh, her cheeks still flushed. I saw the need flash in her eyes. I had been contemplating leaving wit

The dark blue dress would look beautiful on Kaida. That was the first thought on my mind when I saw it in the store. I knew I had to get it for her..Kaida was on the training field, she’d taken up Aric’s position. I believed it was another way to honor his memory. She trained the soldiers just as he had done… before everything went downhill. I had to admit, she was very good at it. Even the soldiers seemed to be enjoying the session with her."Your weight on this leg," she instructed, adjusting the soldier’s stance. I didn’t miss the way his gaze flickered to her ass for a split second before he quickly looked away, likely fearing he’d be caught staring. The possessive part of me wanted to pry out his eyes for even looking, then drag her into our room and fuck her all day long for looking so damn sexy.The longer I watched, the more something dark stirred inside me. She was too damn close to that guy, and those leathers—hell, they were so tight, her ass was practically on display. I

The Rogue leaders had waited. When the two days were over, I invited them into the meeting room.A maid brought over bottles of beer, and Edna was the first to take a deep gulp, the others following soon after. The maid excused herself.“Edna, Skale, Kev, Gal, and of course, Timothy. Welcome to the Nightshade Pack.”“I didn’t remember keeping you waiting this long when you paid us a visit.” Edna said to me."I’d hoped you’d get impatient enough to leave."Edna chuckled; it was silent and humorless. “Unfortunately, we’ve come to speak on an important matter.”“I assumed as much.”"We allowed a peace treaty with you once, and now we’ve come to discuss the terms.""I made you a promise, Edna. I told you that if you couldn’t keep the rogues under control, there would be war. This time, something tells me you were the brains behind the earlier attack.""Yes. I was. Like the rest, we believed you were gone, and we did what anyone would do—we attacked.""But I guess you were wrong.""Sorely.

ALEXANDER’S POVIt was almost unnerving how similar she had looked to Kaida. Her voice sounded so much like hers—I had hesitated, and in that moment of weakness, Cynthia escaped.It all made sense now. I could recall that incident. When Kaida had walked into the room, looking all seductive, I had given in so easily. And then—she ‘d lifted the dagger to my chest. I hadn’t realized it wasn’t her. For a fleeting moment, I had even thought the weapon was just another tease.But then she’d stabbed me, and too late I realized something different about her—something I hadn’t picked up on earlier. Her eyes. They were different, not because they weren’t the same grey I knew, but because it felt like they belonged to a stranger, not the woman I had known and fallen for.Kaida had taken the blame, but of course, she could never have done such a thing. She’d never have gone through with it, and I couldn’t believe I was just realizing that now."It’s not your fault. Cynthia excels at those kinds o

"I know the truth," I said to Julia, finally speaking up.“What truth? Don’t tell me you still fall for his falsehoods—you should have learned your lessons by now.”"He tried to protect me. He kept me safe. That’s more than you’ve ever done?"“Protect you—you really think you are safe here with him?”“Safer than I ever was back in the castle.”“I taught you better than this, Aliya. I taught you about bad people who would want to taint you, but you were always the curious type; I should have known.” She said, I didn’t miss the fact that she addressed me by my name."I remember everything you taught me, Julia. Thanks to you, I know more languages than I’ll ever have the chance to use in my lifetime. You spoke endlessly about good and evil—you painted yourselves as saints, but you all are far from that. I know the truth now. Your plan was to sacrifice me. That encounter—all of it—was a lie. I was nothing but a vessel to you.""And do you think you mean anything to him?" she asked, her g

My thoughts drifted to Ash. Could he have been stupid enough to come back here with Daemon present?Something told me Daemon wouldn’t be pleased about me seeing him behind his back.A small sense of relief washed over me when I realized the footsteps approaching weren’t from a man. There was something feminine, something familiar about them.It was Empress Julia.Of course, I would recognize the sound of her footsteps; I had spent over a decade of my life listening to them.Daemon seemed genuinely surprised. “How did you find this place?” he asked."I can't say. You see, it's a small secret, Trian—I guess that's the name you stole."Daemon’s eyes drifted from her face to the object she held in her hand: the Nexus Amulet. She had somehow gotten it out of the transparent glass container—perhaps that explained the noise that had alerted us we weren’t alone."Give it to me," Daemon all but growled."Tsk, tsk. Not so fast."Daemon looked like he was about to lunge for her."You won’t get t

I shouldn’t be thinking about Ash’s words, but I was. No matter how many times I tried to shove them out of my mind, they always found their way back."Dinner is served. Come eat," Daemon announced. Staring at him, I could almost forget that he was a demon; he just seemed so… human. But when you looked deeper into those dark blue eyes, that’s when you noticed something off—something that screamed predator.“I’m not hungry.”“That’s a lie. Come with me,” he said. I might be hungry, but I was in no mood to eat, yet I followed him. He had already dished out the food for me and, as usual, none for himself.“Thank you.” I muttered, taking a seat. The smoky scent of spiced grilled meat filled the air. On any other day, it would be enough to make my mouth water and my stomach rumble, but this time, I could barely force myself to eat more than a few small pieces.“Aliyah,” Daemon called, and I looked up at him. “I can make something else if you don’t like this.”“It’s not that. I’m just not h
