Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter One Hundred and One
I didn’t want to believe her. I didn’t. But then, he had told me that night we met for the first time that he needed to convince his father into believing I was his mate; his father was the Alpha King, and he had also told me how he planned to challenge his father... for the Alpha King Title that should have been ‘his’ by now. I also recalled that one time Thane spoke about his father’s unwillingness to let go of the Title due to the benefits he enjoyed as the Alpha King. As much as I didn’t want to believe her, I knew more than anything that she was saying the truth.Thane had never told me he loved me, not once; he had said it the night before that love wasn’t supposed to be a part of ‘this’. Could all these be a game to him?, Could that be the reason he had kept my mother alive, why he saved me?It made so much sense now; Slade had abducted me because he knew Thane without his mate, would never be the Alpha King, and all along I was just a pawn in his master game. The contract was t

I stared off the balcony, watching the full moon. I never really understood the relationship between wolves and full moons till I got back my wolf; there was something peaceful and comforting about just staring at it, but as serene as it was, it still couldn’t calm me.Thane walked in. I knew it was him even without looking. I gave him a few seconds to settle in before I asked.“Are you really going to challenge your father for the title?”“I cannot help but wonder what is on your mind this time Riley.” He says, amused“Is just that the last time you said you were challenging him for 'me’, to keep me safe? But I wonder if that is the only reason.”“No, I wasn’t just facing my father for the solemn purpose of keeping you safe. But I am curious where is this heading to?”“Nowhere. And about Beatrix.”“What about her, Riley?”“I learned... she had been stripped of her title as Commander.”“You heard right.”“I... don’t think you should do that to her,” I say, and Thane walks to me. “Look

I stood still, shutting my eyes like that one animal that believes hiding its head saves it from the danger approaching.“I can see you, you know." Axel taunts“Can you?”"Yes,” he walks to me, taking my hands. He leads me back into his room, where a broken vase remained on the floor. “Sorry for that; Gloria made quite a mess.”“I’m the one who should apologise for eavesdropping; I’m so sorry... I just wanted to visit, and then I heard her voice.”“You have nothing to apologize for.”“You know she was right.” I say. “I don’t know what the pack thinks of me...”“And I don’t care; you don’t have to either.”“Are you free?”“For the whole day, yes,” he says with a smirk. “Why?” he asks, and I was unable to say the words.How do I tell him that I was feeling horny and I couldn’t go to Thane because I was mad at him, so I came here instead?. I couldn’t, not when he just broke up with Gloria?“Nothing, really... I should just leave,” I say, heading for the door, but he whirled me around, pi

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

“My mate, he is here.”“What?” Aric questioned. “How is that even possible?” “I don’t know, but he is here, I can feel it.”Just then, complete silence fell; all chatter ceased as The Alpha King rose to his feet. He was huge, clearly above six feet; he had sea blue eyes and brown hair, which he cut short into a buzz cut. His features were sharp, and maybe my father was right about one thing—the man before me didn’t look twenty-two years of age; he was no child; he was an Alpha in every sense of the word. The scent I had been perceiving, the one that made my heart pound, it was him.Fear was not something I had felt in years; I always liked to think of myself as fearless, but for the first time in a very long while, I was afraid. I was afraid of a man, the very man standing right before me.“He is my mate.” I whispered.“Who?” Aric asked.“The Alpha King.” I whispered back.As if he heard me, the Alpha King's eyes met mine. I wonder if he was feeling the same thing I felt; that was h
Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Three
The room was just as elegant as everything in the Nightshade pack; it was bigger than my room back in the Dawn Pack. I spotted the dress on the bed. A flimsy thing. If it had been any other day, I would've been attending the Grand Feast in my leather pants and jacket—I hated parties and public gatherings, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t invited to a few back at my pack. I was the Alpha’s daughter; it was required of me. My father tried to force me into dresses more than once, but of course, I never did wear them. It was different now; this was not my pack, and here I was a stranger. Wearing my ‘usual’ clothing would only make me stick out in the crowd.I didn’t want that, but that didn’t mean I would wear the dress he had picked out for me. “It will be amusing to see you in a dress.” Aric said, a smirk playing on his lips.“I’ll be in a dress alright, but just not this one.”“Rebellious as always, let’s hope the Alpha King doesn’t notice.” He said with a smile.“I really don’t give a d

It was time, I would have to pay a visit to the Nightshade pack. Beta Aric was nowhere to be found.I stopped in the courtroom to inform my father that I was leaving, but I noticed he wasn’t alone, Aric was there too. I stopped by the entrance, they hadn’t noticed me and so I hid away from view.“You are marrying her to the Alpha King?” Aric asked, this was indeed the first time I had heard him question the Alpha.“Yes, my daughter will marry the Alpha King.”“You know that’s not where she belongs.”“I will be having no discussion over this matter, it is already settled and done.”“You know who he is…”My father cut Aric off. “He is ruthless, every powerful Alpha is, fear is sometimes power.”“The Blackwood lineage is a powerful one, but it’s cursed – that’s what I think. How else would you explain the mysterious deaths? Slade had been killed by his own son, Thane who wanted the throne – there had been other rumours too, that Freya, his mate, had actually been the one behind his deat
Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter One
Kaida’s POVWith each passing day, I couldn't help but wonder if I'd made a mistake, if I'd doomed myself with my own words—but it was too late to turn back now. I had never met Alpha Ethan before. Though we were neighboring packs, my father and the beta had always been the one going for the meetings, I didn’t do well with meetings and parties and maybe my father was right. Being an Alpha was about more than just being a warrior.I got dressed in my usual clothing, leather pants matched with a black leather jacket and a glove to cover my missing pinkie finger. Had I forgotten to mention that some little 'accident' had cost me a finger? As if that flaw wasn't enough, my body was also marked with a number of scars, so while I had always despised wearing fancy gowns and pretty little dresses, it did make sense why I had to cover up.The men carried their scars with pride, like it was some kind of proof of how fierce they were; scars on a woman had a completely different representation;

PROLOGUE.Kaida’s POVI was not like the other girls; I knew that even as a little child. My father had found it strange that a girl of my age was more interested in watching the pack warriors train rather than playing with toys like the other kids her age did at the pack.I had one dream, and though it may sound impossible, I held onto it. I believed that I could one day become an… Alpha. The first Female Alpha.My father had no male child to inherit his title and take his place, and so each day, I trained to be the best at everything. I was twenty and five years of age and yet to find my mate. To be honest, I hadn’t even been searching for him—whoever he was; on the contrary, I dreaded finding my mate, because that would only bring an end to my dream of becoming an Alpha. I believed it was all fate pointing me in the right direction; this was my destiny.That had been what I thought until everything changed right before my eyes..My father, Alpha Trent, of the Dawn pack, summoned

Thane and I returned back to the Nightshade pack. I couldn’t stay at the Raven Clan pack even a bit longer. I couldn’t look into Gabriel's face and see how shattered he was. Mother had broken his heart, not just his’ but the whole pack's, and all she left was a letter. No one deserved that treatment, and yet, there was nothing I could do about it.“So she ran away with the warlock?” Thane asked.“Seem so. I had checked his place; he burnt the whole building to the ground, possibly because he hated the house or maybe…”“He wanted to start afresh.” Thane completed.“Yes, I can’t trace him; he is gone and maybe… I don’t want to find him. My mother says she would visit to see Ethan, but that could be in months or even years.”There was a knock on the door. It was Meredith; she had Ethan in her arms.“Your son is well and healthy.” She said before passing him to me. I held him in my hands; he had grown considerably, and he stared at me with big blue eyes, and in that moment I fell in love

I had found my mother an hour later at the farm; she was dressed in a regular gown.“What are you doing? The ceremony had begun, and people were getting very worried.” I said to her, but she gave no response; she had her back to me. “Mom!” I walked to her, and only when I saw her face did I notice something was wrong. Tears streamed down her eyes.“I can’t do it,” she says. “What do you mean you can’t do it? Gabriel is the love of your life; you wanted this. What changed?”“Everything. Everything changed.”“I don’t understand you—what is wrong? Why are you crying?”“You never told me. You knew, and you never told me.” She says, and that silenced me. “You knew that your father, Sebastian Bruce, was alive. You always hide things from me, and I had to go on with it because you are the queen, and you can’t always share things with me like you once would do, but this wasn’t about you—this was my life, and you never uttered a word. You were going to leave me in the dark.”“Bruce had left

I had to make sure I was fully covered at all times; we couldn’t risk people discovering what I was, and my cold skin would give the clue.“How is Ethan, your son?” Mom asked the moment we were alone in the room.“I had entrusted him to one of the healers; he wasn’t safe in the pack, and so I had to let her take him away. He stayed amongst the humans, but I had sent for him. Things are better now, and it’s time I gave him my full attention.“Why didn’t you tell me anything about what was going on? I would have helped.”“You would have been in danger; I didn’t want that.”“Oh Riley, always thinking about others before yourself.”“Gabriel seems to be treating you very well.”“He is, more than that, I love this pack too; this place feels like home.” She said,“So when are you going to show me the dress?” I asked, and she chuckled like a teenager; for a moment we both laughed over nothing..“You look beautiful in that dress.” I complimented. My mother had gone for a white wedding dress;

THANEI never did tell Riley about Axel. He wouldn’t have wanted me to; he would have wanted her to move on. She was dealing with a lot, but I was going to stand by her through it all.She didn’t like me watching her drinking blood; if only she knew I found it… sexy..I stood before over twenty Alphas, many of whom had frowns on their faces. I had to tell them the truth and try to make peace with them.“Thank you all for coming. I am glad to see you all well.I had gathered you here to address an issue, in which some of you had no clue about.”I went ahead to inform them that there had indeed been a demon ruling in my place; I didn’t go deep into that. Despite everything, I still owed Daemon big time. I explained our plight with the Demon Overlord and how he is being held down now. By the time I was done, I noticed the change, the way they stared at Riley with an eye of respect. I guess they were finally adding the dots.“All of the previous rules made will be canceled.” I informed
