Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Seventy Five
Regnux walked into my office, escorted by one of my soldiers."Alpha, the woman named Isabella is back here, she says she has very important information for you.""I believe I made myself clear earlier. Do not let her in.”"There’s someone else with her. The man’s name is Logan, and he’s been here before."Since Logan's last visit, I hadn't heard anything from him; he might be my half brother, but that didn't mean I trusted him."Let the man in, alone” I said to the soldier. “Regnux, go get the Luna."This time I wanted Riley present; I wanted her to know she would always be a part of my decisions.Riley walked in; she was in a tight pink dress, looking all innocent. For a moment, I wondered how long it would take Logan to get here; the thought of throwing her against the table and claiming her once again clouded my mind."Thane?" she called, and I snapped out of it."Logan is here. I'm inviting him in, and I want you by my side."I didn't mention Isabella, things were getting better

RILEYMy day couldn't get any stranger.I saw Logan for the first time, and he did look a lot like Thane. It was clear that they were related; more to that, I could feel the power he emitted. Having two powerful people in the same room was never the best idea.I did notice Logan's eyes roaming down my body and how enraged that made Thane; for a moment I thought he would lunge at him for staring. Any other day, I would have been irritated at that, but I couldn't bring myself to care now. He had the cure, and that's all we needed from him.I couldn't deny that I was impressed by Thane's action, the fact that he kept Isabella out of the pack gave me some level of satisfaction, I would always be first in his heart.Isabella came in, and I noticed how sickly she looked. She had always been tiny, but now she was all bones, her skin even paler than it had ever been."I thought whatever sickness that had brought me to my 'first' death was over. I was wrong. After I left the pack, I began noti

THANEI had flown by my private jet before; I rarely used it. I do believe technology has done more harm than good, and as werewolves we had less need for it. While the humans relied fully on the use of technology for almost... everything.Logan had left me with Isabella. She hadn't uttered a single word to me but things were better that way, as long as she was able to communicate the directions to Simon, my pilot, I was fine with the silence. The flight stretched on for a full day, and I didn't enjoy a minute of it; I would prefer Bruce ‘Shifting Spell’ anytime to this.“This is the only landing space closest to the mountains.” Simon informed us from the cockpit.“It will have to do.” I responded.Finally, the jet lowered down on a natural clearing. It was snowing lightly but I didn't need to worry about the cold; my body could maintain the heat.Isabella was the first to get out; it seemed like she had been counting the minutes and seconds till she could finally get out of the air

"The scrolls didn't say anything about how it's been used." Isabella said to me. I took the flower from her hand and tore it open; it immediately turned black. Its inside stored a strange blackish liquid. I had this weird feeling like I had seen this before. "Maybe I'm supposed to drink this," she muttered. I gave a shrug. She took it back from my hand, and I watched her drink of its sap. This was even weirder than I thought it would be. "How do you feel?" I asked. She stared down her body like she hoped to see some kind of instant change. "Nothing. I feel the same." "That means it isn't quite it. Let's get going." "No, we didn't come all this way to leave with nothing." "What do you suggest we do? Drink of all the flower's sap till we find the 'chosen' flower that cures?" "That is a smart plan." "I meant it as a joke." Just then she coughed. She bent over and threw up dark blood. "Are you alright?" I asked; she shook her head. "I don't know what is happening," she cried.

I awoke with a start. It was already morning.Gods, it had only been a dream.The tears falling down my eyes were tears of relief. I wasn't alone — I realized; slowly, I turned to see the other person on the bed, it was Thane, and he was very much awake."You seem to be having a nightmare," he said, but there was something different about him."You scared me. When did you return from your trip with Isabella?" I asked, watching him; I couldn't push away the strange feeling, like something was very wrong and yet his scent hadn't changed."A few hours ago. I didn't want to wake you," he explained."Did you... did you get the cure?" I asked him, and he nodded."Yes, I did.""So Isabella was right; there is a cure.""She is, and now you don't have to worry about me losing control; I have been cured completely.""That was...""Fast?" The word on my mind was unbelievable, but I nodded, with a smile on my face."You know I am really glad to hear this." I say, rising to my feet and heading t

THANE I woke up on the cold ground, my surroundings dim and unfamiliar—was this... a cave? I hadn't been chained; there was no need for that; I couldn't move. Everything flooded back, Isabella's betrayal—I shouldn't have trusted her. "You are awake," the voice called. Speak about the little devil. "It isn't wise to be this close to me, don't you think?" "You can't harm me; at this state, you can't even hurt a fly." "Did Logan keep you here to babysit me?" "Ah, you figured that out too; of course he is in on this too." "I guess this is revenge for sending you away from the pack?" "No. I would never do that, but that action did change everything." "I guess this is where the big revelation comes in?" "Yes, it is and there is a lot to be revealed. I didn't lose my memories. I knew who awoke me, and it was Slade, your father." "Slade?" I asked, surprised. "I think I'm done with your lies; you can keep your little explanations to yourself." "Do you really think that ghosts are r

"I'm guessing there were no truths to all you told me." "Actually, the part about me not being your father was true." Slade responded, clearly enjoying this."What is the point of all these? Kill me; one of the biggest packs in the world will be left without their Alpha.""No, I would be there to fill the space.""As a ghost? Come on, you've got to think better than that.""You are a lycan, a powerful creature; also, you are the Alpha King and that's why you are here.” he cuts his sentence off, not wanting to give out too much information. “You know it had once been me, and it could be like that again. You don't know what it felt like watching you take over my pack, what it felt like watching you take my place, what rightfully belonged to me. You were just the bastard son, and yet, the goddess gave you the crown. I think Logan is a bit jealous. He had to spend his whole life hiding while you were out there, you became everything he wanted to be and much more.""The longer I stay miss

The history books said nothing about the curse, and everything else was in there. She had brought up an explanation for that. I should have known she was lying, but I had no idea of what was happening; at that point, I would have believed anything."Flynn gave her a potion; she managed to slip it into your meals before they got delivered.""That doesn't sound very convincing; my meals are only handled by the cooks and maids; they know better than to try poison me.""Of course they do, but then again, there is… Pricilla." Realization dawned on me almost immediately. I had let her back into my pack for Axel's sake; she was his mother despite everything she had done, I wanted to give her a chance. That was my mistake. "You don't have to hate her; it wasn't exactly her fault. She was simply the easiest option. When she came to you, she never planned to betray you or the pack; she had pleaded a whole lot about how she wanted to be a changed person and how she didn't want to disappoint you

DAEMON’S POVMaybe it was just my mind preparing me for the worst scenario, but I couldn’t feel her presence.Staring at the castle, I sensed nothing—yet I hoped I was wrong. If she wasn’t inside, it could only mean one thing: I was too late.I hated being out here; it made me feel powerless. I needed to get in, find her, see what was happening.Seconds dragged on like minutes, and minutes felt like hours. Restlessness gnawed at me, drawing more unwanted attention, but I didn’t care. A soldier stepped forward, and I felt my patience thin. If he came any closer, I wasn’t sure I could hold back from ripping his head off.And then, I heard it. The sharp sound of breaking glass.Fragments rained down as people scattered, shielding themselves from the sharp shards. But I stood still.I watched the body hit the ground.Cynthia.The soldiers came forward, but I raised a hand, stopping them. I walked to her.If she had been human, a fall from that height would have meant instant death. But of

ALEXANDER’S POV“I have to say, you’re far better looking than I remember.” Empress Julia says, walking forward.Of course, it hadn’t taken long for me to realize that our arrival was no longer a secret.“You’ve gotten more wrinkled. Perhaps you need another dip in the Lake of Youth?”Her smile faltered. The Empresses were obsessed with remaining youthful, and that comment had hit its mark.“I know why you’re here.”“Good, because I won’t be leaving till I get what I came for.”“Brave as always. You don’t even mind the fact that you’ve just called an all-out war.”“We’ve been fighting wars ever since I took over from my father. If it comes to that, then so be it.”Julia chuckled. “You seem so confident in your pack.”“That, I am.”“You won’t find her here.” She said, I didn’t know if she was referring to the empress or…“Aliyah. You won’t find her here. She had escaped.”I studied her. Of course, it could be a lie, but something told me she was being truthful. Now, I could see the bag

The soldiers let us in without issue—they’d seen us arrive with the ‘High Regent.’ I kept my scarf on, and so did Alexander. Despite everything, I couldn’t help but marvel at how he made everything look good.“We’ll have to split up,” I told him. That had been the plan—he’d go find Cynthia, and I’d go for Aliyah. Daemon had detailed exactly where her room was, so I didn’t think it would be hard to find.“We don’t have to split. We could find the Empress together, then the girl,” Alexander said.I knew he was worried about me, but we both understood it wasn’t a practical decision. By the time we captured the Empress, the alarm—or whatever system they used here—would’ve alerted everyone in the castle, and the Chosen would be heavily guarded against the intruders: us.“We’d get caught easily if we stayed together,” I told him, then paused when I noticed him watching me. “I’ll be fine.”“Be careful,” he said, and I nodded.“You too.”“I’ll find you. Go.”I took off, tracing the path throu

Phil and Austin had been left in charge of the pack.Alexander had tried convincing me to stay behind, but if Cynthia was going down, it would be my blade that stopped her heart. No one would take that away from me.“Hold on to me,” Daemon said. Alexander hesitated, then moved closer, pulling me to his side. His hands wrapped around me, keeping some distance between me and the Demon Overlord. In the blink of an eye, we were no longer in the room.Darkness engulfed us—so thick I couldn’t even see my own hand. The only thing keeping me from panicking was Alexander’s hold on me. And then, it was over. We stood in a wide, vast land. There wasn’t a single soul in sight, not even meters away.“Where are we?” I asked.“A short distance from Aureonna City. We’ll have to travel the rest of the way,” Daemon responded.“You couldn’t just spirit us into the city?” Alexander asked his half-brother.“I would have, if I hadn’t been given rodents to feed on. As you must have guessed, their blood isn’

KADIA’S POVAlexander walked in with Daemon, and I had to push aside the fact that he was in our room, invading our personal space. Daemon made himself comfortable on our bed.I'd never seen two people who looked so alike and yet so different. I remembered how the Demon Overlord had stood there, imposing, wings sprouting from his back—something I'd never seen before. They shared the same piercing blue eyes. Looking at Daemon felt like looking at a darker version of Alexander. Both were dangerous and powerful, but while Alexander had been born a leader, Daemon had made himself one. There was a glint of madness in Daemon’s eyes, reminding me to stay alert whenever he was near.As if sensing my gaze, Daemon turned to me and threw a wink—clearly aimed at irritating Alexander.“How did it go?” I asked Alexander.“He picked up quite a lot,” Daemon replied, then turned to his half-brother. “You should try getting into her mind,” he suggested.“No,” Alexander growled.“I don’t mind,” I added.

ALEXANDER’S POVI watched Daemon as he walked around the hall, spacious enough to contain at least a hundred people.“It’s soundproof, so this should do.”Daemon turned to me. “I’m sure Thane and Riley would be proud of you and what you’ve done with the pack. You know, I did rule for a short while—back when I pretended to be your father, Thane,” he said, a smirk spreading across his face. “It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.”I had forgotten that—Daemon had the ability to take on different forms. My first instinct was to demand what had happened, but something told me Daemon had brought it up hoping I’d take the bait. So I held back my curiosity.“I find it strange. Most of the abilities the Empress possesses are similar to those of a demon. They can shift—move from one place to another in matter of minutes. They can take on different forms, like Cynthia did… control minds, wield fire…”“Come to think of it, that’s true,” Daemon replied. “Maybe their so-called ‘god of light

PRESENT.I pulled my wings back, making them vanish as I stepped out of the circle."Hello, Brother," I said to the Alpha King, my half-brother.He saw me as a threat, of course, and he was right to. My gaze shifted to the second figure in the room—Jade."An old bat who just refuses to die. You're tough, I'll give you that."Jade's eyes shot daggers at him. “I haven’t forgotten you stole from me.”“It was never yours to keep.” I responded. Many years ago, I had taken the amulet from her possession, cementing my place as the Demon Overlord."This is not over," she said, pointing a crooked hand at me before turning to Ethan—or as he preferred to be called, Alexander."I've done as you asked. Just so you know, I might not be available if you reach out again," she added, then turned and walked toward the balcony. She pushed open the windows and leaped down.The werewolf queen gasped, walking to the railing to look below, and a bird flew up, its eyes the same color as Jade’s. It was no su

DAEMON’S POVEarlier…I stood before the house I had set ablaze, watching as it burned to the ground.I was a fool to believe I could ever have a silent life. Part of me had craved that kind of peace, while another part longed for more—wanting to rule and, at the same time, have the girl I loved by my side. I wanted both, and that was the problem: I could only choose one.I picked wrong.I stared at the amulet, the only thing I had retrieved from the house I had set on fire.I had promised to protect her; I had promised to keep her safe and away from harm’s way, and I failed. The moment she was taken, I returned to the castle to find her, but the empresses weren’t as unwise as they had been before. They had found the strongest witches and sorceresses to cast a spell on the castle, preventing my entry. The spell was strong enough to serve its purpose, but it must’ve drained those who had cast it. They would need months to recover.But like every spell, it would fade eventually, and tha

KADIA’S POVIt was already late at night. I’d spent the hours patrolling alongside Alexander. Well, we’d done a little more than just patrolling.A slow smile curled my lips at the memory of Alexander taking me right there on the hard forest ground."We’re supposed to be watching over the pack borders," I’d reminded him as he kissed me."I’m still very much alert. I think I can do both at a time," he’d replied.I now had dirt, crumpled leaves, and a few stubborn twigs tangled in my hair. Alexander didn’t look much better, but he still managed to pull off that rough, roguish charm that made my stomach flutter.We walked to our apartment together, stopping in front of the door.“Keep looking at me like that,” he said with a grin, “and we won’t be sleeping much tonight.”“I’m not staring,” I lied, immediately looking away with a blush creeping on my cheeks.He smiled. “You can stare all you want, baby. I’m all yours.”His words stirred butterflies in my stomach. Maybe it really was going
