Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter One Hundred and Four
I noticed an usual change in the pack today.The atmosphere was tense, and people gathered in small groups exchanging words in low whispers. For the first time, I could walk around the whole space without any attention on me. That was new, not that I complained.I took a corner, only to run into Beatrix. Gone was the girl with red swollen eyes and dishevelled hair; she seemed to have redyed her blue hair, there was a glow to it. Once again, she was back to the girl I knew, the one who always had that calculative smirk on her lips. She was in a black uniform, with the pack logo at the side, and that could only mean one thing."Congratulations, Commander, for reclaiming your position,” I say with a smile that was very much fake.“All thanks to you." Her smile matched mine.“I won’t be assuming we are friends now.”“No, we are not.”“That’s good.” I walked on, and she followed.“Have you heard the trending news?” She asks, and I knew it had to be what everyone was buzzing about, but I ha

“How many know the truth?”“Just the guards.” Freya answers“Are you sure they would keep it to themselves?”“I had told them too, but it was only a matter of time; the elders would get the truth out of them, whether they admitted it or not.”“Then we have to kill them.”“No, they are no danger; I trust them to know what to do.”“But as you said, the elders would get the truth out of them, so this the only way.”“What do I tell the elders when they ask?”“Slade had many enemies.”“He wouldn’t be easily killed by those regulars.”“Then you tell them that I did it.”“What?” This time it was me questioning. “Is there not another way?”"They would easily believe I did this; I have good reasons to want him dead.""Son, there would be punishments for this... I do not need help in carrying my own cross," Freya said, but for the first time I read deeper into words, she cared about him. Though she tried her very best to hide it, she did care for Thane."I was only about to challenge him; I was

Something about the elders' always invokes fear in me. My palm was all sweaty. Once again, I had to watch Thane being judged by them. There was this sense of deja vu I felt standing here with Axel by my side, but of course, this hadn't been the first time I had been placed in this situation.The elders were all present, cloaked in flowing white robes, rustling softly with every movement they made.The only difference was that this time there were more unfamiliar faces amongst us, members from other packs who had come to witness the great and most feared Alpha, Thane’s demise.Finally Thane walked in.This time there were no excorts by his side. That was the first thing that seemed off. He came to a stop before them.There was pindrop silence, all eyes watching him; he had promised me he would survive this. I wanted to believe him, but at this moment, I couldn't see how it would be possible for him to escape this.“There is a question of uncertainty, Alpha Thane. You were reported to

There was complete pin-drop silence. The dagger remained embedded into the elders abdomen. There was one uniform emotion everyone was witnessing; I could see it on their faces: shock.Thane took out the knife, and the elder fell to the ground, clutching his stomach, his eyes wide with… fear.His skin… There was something weird happening to it; it seemed to be cracking as though his skin was made of porcelain, and then he shattered into pieces, leaving nothing behind but gray ashes.That's when the screams began.“Axel, take her away!” Thane ordered from a distance, and Axel obeyed, immediately picking me up like I weighed nothing and placing me over his shoulders. He carried me back to the packhouse.The others ran too; no one was bold or willing to witness what a battle with the elders would look like. People trampled over one another to escape.There was a loud, ear-piercing scream, like one from a banshee. It was from one of the female elders who knelt before the ashes of the fal

Beatrix was a commander and skilled soldier admired for her exceptional expertise, and she was obsessed over Thane, as if that wasn’t competition enough, there was the elder too. How many more were in line, and where did that leave me? Somewhere below. I was of no use to him. I didn’t want to think about how exactly he wooed the elder into going along with him on this plan.“Seems like everyone has a thing for Thane,” I muttered silently to myself.I hated the fact that I felt so insecure, but Thane had never once admitted that he loved me; he was with me only because of the situation of things, and after that... then what? Beatrix had told me how good a player he was, and so I was always left doubting, yet this was the wrong time to be distracted by my many insecurities.“I’m sorry, Thane’s life is on the line, and all I could do is get jealous; that is selfish and unreasonable of me. I apologize.”“You can’t control your emotions; this is not your fault,” Axel says, and maybe he wa

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

A small frown etched on my face.“It is, that’s his handwriting.” I argued.“Maybe, but that last line… it’s not his words.”That had been my very thought, but maybe no one really knew my father.“He knew I could do it.”“He mated you to me and gave me his pack too—to keep you safe. Why in the world would he send you to kill the person who he was trying to save you from?” he asked and I stared at him, speechless.“Did you kill her?” he asked. “The empress?”I nodded.“How?”“Silver bullets. I shot her thrice in the heart.”“And you believe she is dead?”“I shot…”“I know you shot her thrice, but if bullets could kill them, they would all be dead now, don’t you think?”"What are you saying?" I asked. My hands shook slightly, so I clasped them together to steady them.“I’m saying there is a high possibility she still lives. I don’t believe in their god but I know that physical methods are hardly ever enough to kill any of those empresses. They’ve been blessed with the gift of immortalit

ALEXANDER POVThis was the last place they had been. It was an apartment owned by Aric.My chest tightened. Had she slept with him here?I could pick the locks, but I didn’t bother with that, I broke down the door. I was right, she had been here, there was no mistaking it, her scent filled the place and it was fucking intoxicating.I entered the apartment and searched the rooms. As expected, she was already gone. In the last room, her scent hit me stronger than anywhere else in the house. A few of her clothes were still left in here.That could only mean one thing—she was coming back. I returned to the living room and stopped when I saw the table. Pictures were scattered across it.I sat on the couch and looked through the pictures. They were all of the same woman—Cynthia. I knew her. Empress Cynthia.What the hell did Kaida have to do with this woman?There were many write-ups and notes too. I read through them all, not caring about the fact that this might be seen as intruding.

KADIA’S POVI searched for the light brown eyes that had stared at me from those pictures—and I found them. She looked younger than she had in the photos.Fury filled my chest. Anger burned through me. She was the one who had taken my parents from me.I fired. Three times.It was over too soon, too quick. It felt almost too easy..“You killed her, didn’t you?” Aric asked.“I think.” I responded but I wasn’t unsure. The silver bullets had dug through her heart, thrice, my aim was perfect, I never missed.“You don’t seem very content with your success; I expected more complications.”Me too.“I took her out too quickly; I could have captured her and made her death last longer; I should have put her through pain till she begged for death; my face should have been the last thing she saw before she died, slowly and painfully.”“She is an Empress. These people do not serve beneath the Alpha King or Queen; they are a city of their own. This was the smartest way to end her; delaying her deat

"We are gathered here to witness the great Encounter. The Chosen will see the god of light, face to face; they will become one body, one soul. This is the dawn of a new era..."Julia’s voice trailed off as I noticed a female figure enter. She should have been hard to spot in the crowd, but I easily found her. She was dressed in all black, a hood covering her hair and a mask shielding the lower half of her face, leaving only her eyes visible.Grey eyes.I had seen those grey eyes somewhere; I tried to pick out where I saw them from, and then I remembered.When I visited the Nightshade Pack with the other Empresses and regent, I had seen those same Grey eyes, it belonged to the Luna. I remembered how drawn I was to her; for some reason, I knew she was different. If this was indeed the Werewolf Queen Kaida, what was she doing here in the South, so far from her home?Everything seemed to go in slow-mode, her eyes stopped on me, she didn’t give me more than a glance, those grey eyes were

It took more than a minute for the shock to wear off and then the anger set in. He came, just as he had said he would, but now he couldn’t save me, it was too late. The encounter was only a few hours away; he couldn’t sneak me out of this place, not without being caught. If he had been here even a day earlier, we would have had the chance, but now… it was sealed.“You are back.” I said, keeping the enthusiasm away from my voice.“You don’t sound particularly happy about that.”“That’s because I am not. You shouldn’t have come.” The second sentence was a lie, even if I was doomed to this fate, I still wanted to see his face one more time.His expression remained calm and controlled. “I’m sorry I came late.”“That’s fine. Well now, you don’t have a chance to rescue me.”“Are you mad at me?”“Of course, I am mad at you, Trian.”“Why? I told you I would return for you, and here I am.”He didn’t understand; he might have gotten away with a few things in the past, but he wouldn’t get away

ALIYA’S POVThree weeks had passed.Three weeks of waiting for Trian’s return. I didn’t doubt him; he would be back for me, but he would be too late.For some reason I felt like ‘The Encounter’ with the goddess of light was going to change me, totally and completely; I wouldn’t be the same person I was. In a way, it felt like my end.Julia became more friendly, always wanting to be close. Some nights ago, she had sung me to sleep. That was very unlike her. Just like me, I knew everything she did was an act; she wanted me to remain on my best behavior now more than ever. This was important to not just her but the whole city.She had told me that almost the whole city would be gathered for the ceremony. I didn’t know how I would be able to handle so many eyes on me. I couldn’t hold back the tears that slipped down my cheeks. I had believed he would make it back to me in time before it was too late, I should have known it was wishful thinking, this was my destiny and I would have to live

ALEXANDER’S POVI knew what was happening the moment I felt the pain—Kaida was having sex. The day I took her virginity, I vowed to change—for her. Now, I was reconsidering that very promise. It didn’t take a genius to figure out who she was with: her beta, Aric. I was going to fucking kill him, but then again, Kaida considered him as family. I should be angry at her, but yet here I sat wondering if this was what she was forced to bear when I was with other women.Could this be her own way of getting back at me? I did deserve it, no doubt, but I had believed that Kadia and I had formed something together, a bond or at least an agreement. I was wrong. A thought flashed past my mind; what if she wasn’t willing doing this? What if she was being forced?Fuck.Kaida couldn’t be forced to do anything— she was a force to be reckoned with and she hadn’t gone alone, she had taken him along. Still, I didn’t like the idea of sitting here and doing nothing, I wanted to go find her, for all I kn

“Welcome to my humble home.” Aric said and I stared at the building in awe. There was nothing humble about this place.“This is beyond…” My expectations—I wanted to say, but I quickly chose another word. “…beyond amazing. Nice place,” I complimented.“Thank you. Feel at home; this is your place as much as it is mine.” He said with a warm smile.It was a modern house with glass walls and modern furniture; the floors gleamed; it must have been recently cleaned, but looking around, I saw no cleaners or maids, the house was completely empty.“They come in from time to time to clean the place.” He explained, already reading the question off my eyes. "Aureonna City is only twelve hours away—assuming you run in your wolf form."I wished we could get closer to the city, but this would have to do for now.Aric took my bag, tucking it away. “Do you want anything to eat? Drink?”“No. Not really.”"It was a long run—you must be dehydrated. I’ve kept this place stocked so we’d never go hungry whil

KAIDA’S POVMy plan had worked perfectly, even though at every step I expected it to fail.I had taken a dose of the sleeping potion. I had drugged myself just to get to him, but I also had the antidote, a capsule hidden in my palm.I felt guilty even as I kissed him; he had given me so much that night, and I was going to hurt him in return. I had no right to do that, and yet I did. The moment we were on the bed and I felt the drug working its way into my head, making me warm and drowsy, I swallowed the pill, freeing myself from its grasp. Alexander, on the other hand, didn’t seem the least bit affected. I feared the potion had no effect on him.I forced my breathing to steady, forced myself to relax, and somehow drifted into a light sleep. I was still very aware of the time. Alex had finally fallen asleep, I didn’t think I would get a chance like this ever again.I slipped from his firm hold a few hours before dawn. He stirred—damn, the drug wasn’t as effective on him as I had hope
