Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter One Hundred and Ninety One
A knock sounded at my door, and I walked over to let Aric in.“I know what you’re about to say. I know you think what I did was dumb and reckless—”“I think you’re the bravest person I’ve ever known, Kaida. You’re willing to risk your life for a pack that doesn’t even deserve it. The plan might not be ideal, but it was a bold move—one not many would dare to make.”The sincerity in his voice told me he wasn’t just saying this—he truly meant every word. I swallowed the lump forming in my throat. Aric had always been my closest friend; he knew me—sometimes even better than I knew myself. But maybe Cynthia was right. Maybe I was the selfish one.I never knew about his sister. I had always been too caught up in my own goals, and through it all, he had stood by my side. I knew how he felt about me, yet I had pushed those feelings aside like they meant nothing.“Thank you. That means a lot to me,” I said. My eyes drifted to the clock.I had exactly two hours thirty minutes to go.“Are you re

“Let the fight begin!” the announcer’s voice rang out.Derek took his time, his watchful eyes never straying from me. Most men make the mistake of underestimating me in a fight—it always gives me the upper hand. But not Derek. He saw me as an equal, the only obstacle standing between him and the power he must have dreamt of.I walked up to the weapon stand. Guns, wolfsbane, and silver were forbidden in challenges like this—fighters had to rely on skill and strength, and not luck.I picked up two daggers, one for each hand.Derek’s fingers brushed over an axe, and I expected him to take it. A brutal weapon, but heavy—one that would have given me an advantage. Instead, to my surprise, he chose a sword.The smirk on his face told me he knew exactly what I had been thinking.We circle each other slowly; I wait for him to strike, but he doesn’t make the move, so I do.I slashed at him with my daggers, but he blocked every strike with ease before launching his own attack. I dodged, but ther

Maybe this was history repeating itself. My father had given up the Dawn Pack to Alexander and I – I gave away the Nightshade pack to Derek.It is believed that in moments like this—when you're on the verge of giving up—someone dear to you appears, offering words of strength. A vision of a parent, a loved one, a guiding voice to pull you back. I waited for that. I waited for Alexander or my father to appear, to tell me what to do next, to remind me that I wasn’t done yet. But no one came. No reassuring voice, no outstretched hand.There was nothing but darkness.I was alone.I thought about the pack—the people who never believed I deserved the title. I thought back to when I was a little girl, watching the soldiers train and repeating their steps. I remembered the first time I held a gun—the realization that I could so easily end a life was as terrifying as it was thrilling.I remembered how happy and proud I was when I defeated my first opponent—he was a lanky boy who felt insulted f

ALEXANDER’S POV**EARLIER**All I could think about was Kaida. I couldn’t shake the memory of the jagged scar from a gunshot on her midsection. She could have died, and I had acted like it didn’t bother me.‘If you care even a little bit for me, you would come with me,’ she had said. What she didn’t realize was that I cared for her far more than a ‘little bit.’.Transforming into my wolf form was as painful as it was the first time I’d shifted. I tried reining in my wolf, at least until I got out of my building and far from anyone’s sight. But he wanted to be free—I could feel his desperation.I pushed past the guards, heading for the exit.“Sir…” one of the human guards called to me, but I didn’t look back. If I did, he’d notice my not-so-naturally glowing eyes. I didn’t want to scare the poor guy.Taking the stairs or the elevator would have been the normal choice, but my wolf was getting restless. So, without a second thought, I leaped over the railing—and somehow, I landed on my

Lying here on the bed made me feel vulnerable before him, but I didn’t trust myself to stand without getting dizzy. I stared up into those beautiful eyes—so beautiful that, for a moment, I wanted to forget everything that went wrong and just hold him close… No.I shove the thought away.“It didn’t look that way to me. You told me that you’ve found a new life, one I wasn’t part of—it seemed to me that you’d meant exactly what you said.”"I thought I could start over—I wanted to leave it all behind. But I couldn’t. Not because of the pack but because of you. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t let you go."“And those women?” I asked, unable to keep the jealousy from my tone.“I thought using them would help me get over you. But it didn’t.”"It hurts—knowing you were with others. I know we weren’t mated anymore, but I just thought…" My voice faltered. I exhaled sharply, shaking my head. "I can’t do this right now. Just leave."“Not this time. I’m not leaving this time, Kaida.”My eyes

Three days had passed. I was finally discharged with instructions to be careful for the next few weeks.While I was healing, Alexander had taken over the pack’s activities, and for that, I was more than grateful. The weight of the pack no longer rested solely on my shoulders, and that was a huge relief.Now, I thought back to the ‘moment’ with Alexander—the one we never got to finish. I paced my room, debating whether to go to him. I already knew his response: ‘Rest’. He would insist I needed more time to heal. But my body wanted him. It had been so long since I’d had any… action, and I hadn’t realized how much I missed having sex until now.Screw it. I was going to him.I reached for the door, but before I could open it, it swung wide, and there stood Alexander. One glance at me, and I was sure he knew exactly where I was going—and why. In his hand was a jacket, the very one I had left behind at his house.“This belongs to you,” he said, handing me the jacket. I took it from his hand

Derek had been taken away from the pack after our fight. A small part of me felt bad for him. In his pack, he had been worshipped, but now… everything was about to change—especially the fact that he would have to rule as an Alpha with only one arm.If his story taught me anything, it was that we often fail to appreciate what we have. He had a pack, people who loved him, but like every other Alpha, he wanted more. He was an honorable man, and for that reason, I had let him go his way—even after his demeaning words about making me his ‘whore’ when he took over the pack.“I have to admit. You did very well with the pack.” Alexander praised, and I couldn’t help the swell of pride I had felt in that instant.We were currently in the bed, none of us wanting to leave the room or each other’s company.“Most of the time, I didn’t even know what I was doing.”“Well, that makes the two of us. You were born a leader, Kaida.”"No, I wasn’t. I might be the daughter of an Alpha, and I might have ha

I watched as Aric’s casket was lowered into the ground.All the memories were buried along with him. Guilt ate at me, knowing he shouldn’t be down there.Many who knew Aric were also present. He had once been a beta to the Dawn pack, then a commander to the Nightshade Pack. He was loved by many, but the strangest thing about life was how fast people tend to move on.Two hours later, everyone was gone, back to their lives. A few months from now, some would forget him. In a few years, others wouldn’t even remember that a man named Aric had once lived among us. He’d be just another tombstone like the rest. No one was ever truly too important—life always moved on.I stood before Aric's grave, eyes puffy and red, tears rolling down my cheeks, and Alexander stood beside me. His eyes were on me.“You know, he had a sister. I had no clue about her; she was the reason he betrayed me; he wanted to save her.” I paused when I realized who I was talking to. “Sorry, I know you’d always hated him.”

“There’s a slight chance we aren’t dealing with a pack,” Daemon said. “Thank you for this information.”“Wait, you’re leaving me here? I just proved how important I could be.”“Yes, indeed. If you get any other information, just reach out,” he said, then turned around. He was really leaving.“Fuck you.” I muttered beneath my breath.“I heard that,” he called out. “I intended for you to hear that!” I said, but of course he was already gone.My gaze fell on Sebastian, still standing on the other side of the wall. He raised both hands in surrender before backing away. Frustrated, I stomped off..Kate arrived at the pack a few hours later. This time, she brought along her luggage.“You won’t really need all those for a few days.”“No, I won’t. But I’m not planning to stay for just a few days,” she said, walking into her room. I followed with two more of her luggage. “I’m moving into this pack,” she said finally, and I couldn’t deny how surprised I was at that.“Really?”“Yes,” she said,

I walked past the patrolling soldier and Phil, who followed after me.“I thought you said you were leaving? I was worried you’d do something rash, so I came after you.”Good thing he and the other patrollers hadn’t witnessed what happened earlier.“Plans changed. Guess I was about to make a rash decision — but I changed my mind.”“Are you okay?” Phil asked, inspecting me.I knew I didn’t exactly look my best — I’d spent god-knows-how-long in the healing room, then ran straight to pack my bags, dressed in nothing but the white gown the healing wardens had supplied. My eyes must have been red from crying. But every other person in the pack looked the same, if not worse.They were all mourning Alexander—I realized.Many cast pitiful glances at me.“Why did he have to go?”, “He was too young to die,” “He ‘was’ the best Alpha the pack had ever had.”Everyone had something to say about Alexander.I could hardly believe I’d run past all these people without noticing a single thing.

KADIA’S POVI woke up in the healing room.A pair of blue eyes watched me — Daemon. He looked… different, and it wasn’t just the new haircut. There was something about him that made him seem more human."Daemon," I called; my throat felt so dry.He seemed to have already prepared for that. He passed me a glass of water, which I quickly emptied.Everything came flooding back — the news about the plane crash. It became harder to breathe.“Kaida. Calm down.”"He's gone — he was in the plane when it crashed."I yanked out the tubes attached to my arm and rose to my feet. The movement had been too abrupt; the room seemed to spin.I felt hands guiding me back to the bed. I couldn’t hold in the tears.“He shouldn’t have been there. I made him go, and now…”“Stop.” Daemon said, cutting me off. “He is not dead. I visited the site; I didn’t find anything that indicated he was among the ones that died.”“You were at the site?” I asked, my heart speeding up with renewed hope.“Yes. The moment I h

ALEXANDER’S POVMy blurred vision slowly cleared, and I realized I was in what looked like a small, empty room.The wall facing me was made of thick, transparent glass.I couldn’t tell how they managed to get me in here—there was no window or door, only a narrow slot likely meant for passing food and letting in just enough air to keep the ‘prisoner’ alive.I could only assume there was some kind of hidden entrance.My hands and ankles were bound with thick silver chains.The chains felt excessive—I could barely move a muscle.More wolfsbane than I’d ever consumed in my entire life had been pumped into my system, completely immobilizing me and filling me with this nauseating, sickly feeling. I hadn’t realized I was shivering until I noticed the tremble in my fingers.The room was chillingly cold, and with the wolfsbane suppressing my werewolf abilities, I was no exception to the cold. I tried to summon flames. Nothing.Maybe I was just too weak to summon the flames. The crushing feeli

1KADIA’S POVWhen I discovered the news of my pregnancy, I had been so happy. But I knew a lot would have to change.I had to be more cautious—for the baby. That meant I wouldn’t be able to keep training the pack soldiers for much longer. Of course, I’d have to give up that duty eventually and it had become a part of my life. I would have to watch my diet, too. And then there were other things. Like the fact that I would grow big, and I might not look the same. My toned stomach which I had spent years working on would be no more.This had been the type of life I once abhorred, but everything was different now—I wanted this. I could see a future with Alexander, filled with laughter and little kids running around, and the thought made me smile.Lara was the first person to find out I was pregnant.After I discovered the pregnancy test was unmistakably positive, I was as scared as I was excited.Lara happened to be visiting the pack, and we kind of bumped into each other. She was all s

KAIDA’S POVThe flesh-eaters were all gone. Packs that had been destroyed were slowly rebuilding; the chaos had finally settled. But there were still many things to attend to—like the few humans who now knew that dangerous supernatural beings lived among them.The human president had reached out to us; He was ready to pay whatever sum was needed to keep creatures like the ‘flesh-eaters’ away, as they could cause civil unrest among the people. He was willing to pay even more so things could return to the way they were when humans and supernatural beings lived separately.Alexander sent a letter back, assuring him that the ‘creatures’ were gone and that things would continue as usual. What they didn’t realize was that many werewolves and supernatural beings already lived among humans. They owned major companies and enterprises worldwide. From popular clothing brands to tech products, much of it was secretly controlled by the werewolf community.One constant worry lingered on my mind —

JADE POVEarlierI had chosen to spend my final hours in the little underground lair just beneath the small house I owned.At the other side of the room, trapped behind a magical wall, was a flesh-eater. I had captured it and brought it back here. If Aliyah does go through with her words, then the creature wouldn’t last until the next day.Hours passed, and the beast remained caged—still alive, still stupidly trying to push through the magical barrier I had created to contain it, no matter how many times it got scarred from trying.I wouldn’t blame the girl if she backed out; she had every right to make that decision. She was young and in love—it wasn’t easy to let go of everything for people who were mostly strangers.Beside me was a picture of Ralph. The only one I had, and the only thing that had accompanied me through the years. Many would say I lived a lonely life, but that was the only way I knew how to live—though it hadn’t always been that way.I thought back to when Ralph wa

DAEMONAliya was in the same silk white nightgown she’d slept in. A soft breeze blew through her silver hair. She looked surreal, like an angel. “I have to do this.” She said, and I could see the determination in her eyes.“No, you don’t have to do this. I told you I would find a way…”“There is no other way.” she said, cutting me off. “This is the only way. I can end the war, and this is what I have to do to end it.”I’d remember those words in the dream I had. She’d told me how she could “end the war.”Those eyes stared at me like she could read exactly what I was thinking.“Do you love me enough to let me go?” she whispered—and that’s when it hit me: it was never a dream. “The undead would be gone if Solene died. The war would end if I took my life—with this dagger.”“Tell me one thing, Aliyah. If you were in my place, would you let me go?” I asked. Tears spilled down her cheeks. She didn’t answer, maybe because we both knew what that answer was. “Why in the hell do you think

ALIYAHI stood watching the lake.The memory of what had happened here resurfaced, and I smiled. There were still so many things I had yet to do, so many adventures waiting out there.I looked down at the dazzling diamond on the engagement ring Daemon had given me. It must have cost a fortune, but that wasn’t why I thought it was beautiful. It would always be my most prized possession because of what it signified.Now I could see the truth—Daemon would have given up his title to be with me.I didn’t deserve his love. I didn’t deserve him. And yet, I wanted him.The best days of my life were the ones I spent with Daemon. Truly, he was the greatest gift life had given me, and I would always be grateful for that.But I had to make a decision.**FLASHBACK**“I need to speak to the girl alone,” Jade said, and I watched the others walk away, leaving me alone with the sorceress.“I remember it all,” I confessed. “I remember how many people died because of me… how many others I killed.”“That
