Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Six
“Is it twenty-four hours yet?” I asked Axel."There is still twenty hours to go” Axel answered, and I groaned.“Hey... what about now?”“It is still twenty hours to go, maybe minus twenty seconds. Riley, you have to calm down.”“Calm down? How do you expect me to calm down?” I asked, frustrated at everything. “You know what? I’m sorry... I know I could get very irritating, but these four hours feel like a whole day already.”“Maybe because we are practically sitting down and waiting for twenty-four hours to pass by.”“You have any ideas to pass time?”“Have you ever used a gun before?”“That’s a random question. No, I just held it a few times.”“Well then this would be fun... put on some pants, we got to go” he says."Well, my clothes are back in Thane’s room, and I am not going back there.”“I could find something that is a bit smaller for me,” he says, staring me up and down. “You are really small.”I glared at him, sticking my tongue out childishly. “Maybe you are just too big." He

Axel held my hands, guiding me, and this time when I took a shot, it landed right on its chest.“You’re dead stupid wood,” I said with a wide smile.“Your hands are steady; you can make the shot,” Axel says, and I swallow. I was going to do this on my own. “Picture someone you dislike... a lot,” Axel says.And so many images pass through my mind, Beatrix. But then I thought of someone I would hate even more. Barley, I hadn’t realized how much I disliked her. I hated her so much I was determined to get it right this time."Okay, I got it.”“Then fire,” Axel says, and I do just that, even without a single hesitation; it lands on the eyes of the mannequin, but I don’t stop there; I keep on shooting till the gun runs out of bullets. I tossed it to the floor.“Now I want to know who the person you pictured is,” Axel muttered to himself, amazed.“I hate elder Bailey a lot,” I admitted. “I think we could move on to archery now." "Yes, we can,” Axel says. He took the bow which hung on the wa

I was alone in Axel's room; there had been an emergency and Axel had to go. He did tell me he would be back soon, but it had been five hours already.Screw it.I took the envelope and walked out, heading to the room I had shared with Thane.I stopped before the door; maybe I should have waited for Axel's return before leaving, but it was too late to turn back now.I pushed the door open and walked in."Thane, we need to talk!" I called out; I knew someone was in the room, and just then I spotted Bailey seated on the couch, wrapped in a robe... Thane's robe.I swallowed."Elder Bailey, what are you doing here?" I asked, and my voice sounded shaky even to my own ears. She took a drag from the cigarettes she held."What does it look like?" She asks with a shrug; there was no smirk on her face, but I could see the victory in her eyes.I couldn't believe it. I suddenly felt suffocated; I couldn't breathe.How could he?That was the question I asked myself over and over again."Don't be ha

There was a knock on our door, and for some reasons I couldn’t explain, I knew who it was.Thane."I don't want to see him, Axel."Axel nodded before heading for the door."Alpha... I am not sure she wants to see you right now.""Axel, let me in. I need to speak to her.""I'm sorry, I can't. I might be your friend, but I would say it to you when you act like a jerk. Just stop hurting her already; make your decision and stand on it," Axel said, and though I couldn't see them, I felt the tension in the air even from here."You know I had to." He says "Not in the same room you share with her, that is disrespectful... Alpha.""You are right. Could you let me make adjustments at least?" Thane asks, and I knew he didn't exactly need Axel's permission to walk in, but still he waited.Finally, Axel let him in, and I couldn't blame him; Thane was his Alpha."Riley, can we talk?" Thane says to me, but I couldn't even look him in the eyes. I don't bother responding. He walks to me, standing rig

"The wind ‘hazard’ left thirty injured, five of them in severe conditions, but no lives were lost. The healers have their hands full," Axel reported back to Thane."What exactly caused a wind that strong, it was not at all natural," Thane wondered aloud."Were you thinking an elemental did this?" Axel questioned."Something close. Elementals had long gone extinct, of course, except one.""The elders" A female voice suggested, and of course it was Bailey approaching, joining in on the conversation ."You think the elders did this?" Axel questioned."Not just any elder... Nyaos did this; he was an elemental.""That should be the one elder who escaped," Thane added. His mask was back on, but I knew more than anything that he was furious; he hated anything that came against his pack."He was sending a warning..." Bailey began, but Axel cut her off."More like a threat.""I would end what I began," Thane declares."No, is too dangerous." Bailey says"For me?" Thane asked with a hint of amu

"Are you okay?" Thane asks"Why are you here?" I questioned randomly."You kept on screaming out my name and crying; Axel had to call my attention.""I'm so sorry I woke you up.""Riley, that is the least of my worries. What was the dream about?""It was about you and these elders... you were being stripped of your wolf with the cursed weapon, and then he said he was coming for me next. It was so scary.""I am fine, Riley.""You don't understand; it felt so real. Promise me that you will keep me out of danger," I pleaded."I would try," he says, and I knew he was only saying that to keep me calm, but still I took the false reassurance.Now that I was back to my senses, I felt so embarrassed, I wondered how Axel would feel being woken up by the weirdo who cries in her sleep."Oh gosh, I'm so sorry, where is Axel?""He went to call for a healer.""I'm fine!" I said, eyes wide. That would be very embarrassing if he did call the healer. "I can see that now, and he would be back soon. You

“I am surprised,” Axel says to me when he finds me still in his room.“What?”“From Thane’s emotions, I didn’t think you would still be here, I’d have thought you were back in his room being... banged.”I gasped. "Axel!” I call out, reddening.“He usually has no restraints, but I guess he is indeed trying,” Axel went on with a wide smile.Something piqued my curiosity.“So Thane was like... turned on?” I asked, trying to hide my smile and failing.“Yeah, I guess you did play him.”"I did,” I admitted, “and I enjoyed every bit of it.”“Tsk. That was a dangerous thing to do. He would be back.”“He would be back for me?”“You keep repeating what I’ve already said.” Axel’s say, clearly enjoying this more than he should.“He won’t get me, I would be here in your room; he wouldn’t get to me in here, right?”Axel’s smile wasn’t very innocent. “And who is going to stop him?”“I thought you were on my side.”“He is my Alpha; there is only little I can do and you started it.”“So... what do I d

I had been on my way back to Axel’s room when I suddenly felt firm hands clamped around my mouth, restraining me from screaming.“Got you,” Thane whispered into my ears.The shiver had nothing to do with the cold.He led me into the closest room that turned out to be ‘unoccupied’. This was, of course, planned by him.Finally, he let me go.“What are you doing?” I asked, planning to act clueless. I was panicking in here.“What does it look like?” he asks, and I could see his fangs; the glow of his eyes seems too otherworldly to be natural.“It looks like you are kidnapping me; would you let me go?” I asked."Well, the door is right there.”“So you would actually let me go?” I questioned, not really trusting his words.“Only if you could get there faster than me,” he says.Maybe I could do that if I caught him unaware. I zipped off, heading for the door. I was so close, and just then, Thane who had been leaning against the wall a good distance behind me, was right before the door and me

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
