Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Eighty
THANEI 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 real? Slade w

"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

Prologue(Riley's POV) I woke up to a sharp pain in my abdomen. I knew what was happening; Ryker was doing it again. He was cheating on me with another woman. I rolled off the bed, my hands circling around my stomach. The wave of pain passed through me again, and I screamed out, my hands remaining on my stomach as if to shield my unborn child. I groaned, crawling for the door. "Help!" I screamed, but my voice came out hoarse. The pain came again, worse than ever before, and I cried out. "Please... please stop Ryker; you are hurting me," I begged, even if I knew he wasn't here or listening. A strange kind of fear filled me, one I always felt before things went completely wrong, and I was afraid it would now. My child was only one month old, and he 'knew' I was pregnant for him. I crawled for the door, my breaths coming out in pants, my whole body drenched in sweat. The pain wouldn't stop; it only got worse, and I couldn't go any further. In here, no one heard my cries

Growing up, there are so many stories I hear about rejections, the pain that comes with it, and then the sense of loss, like something was missing. I knew what was coming, and I was prepared, even as I said the words."I, Riley Kaidon, accept your rejection," I respond, and that gave him a pause. Of course, he doesn't expect me to accept his rejection so easily; every female is dying to be the Alpha's mate, and I had been one of them till I discovered that he wasn't as charming as my thoughts had painted him to be.I felt the pain, just as I had anticipated. It's a different kind of pain, one that is deep within, but what I do not feel is the loss.How could you lose what you never had?It was over. All my dreams of finding a mate had all come to nothing. I was given the monster as a mate, and he had used me, taken from me, only to dump me like trash. I couldn't stay in this pack any longer; I had to leave."Banish me from this pack; I no longer see the use of remaining.""Oh no, Rile

The Mating Ball. (Riley's POV) Ryker sat with his mate, and I was to sit besides him, close enough to hear him whisper the same words he had told me to her, close enough to see him kiss her, close enough to hear her soft moans as his hands disappeared beneath her dress, but that wasn't the worst part of this all; the worst part was having to see my mother, refilling his cup like the servant he wanted everyone to know she was. All I felt was anger, burning fury. I turned away from them, focusing on keeping my breath steady. "You work slugglishly, old woman," Ryker said to my mother, she had pretended not to hear that as she refilled his glass for what seemed as the hundredth time. My mother glanced at me, her eyes a warning, begging me to stay still and not do anything crazy, and it took everything in me to seat still. "You forgot to refill mine," Zara said to my mother, and of course, my mother did refill hers, muttering a silent appology which wasn't even due. Zara

(Riley's POV) There was a lot running through my mind, but I couldn't stop myself as I let my lips move against his, his hands raked through my hair, and I let him touch me in more intimate ways. His kiss was unlike anything I had ever felt; it was like a breath of fresh air and, at the same time suffocating. I felt everything and nothing; the electricity rolling down my frame had nothing to do with a mate bond; it did have everything to do with the fallen angel standing before me. No, he was no angel, maybe quite the opposite, but he did have the looks of a Greek god. Finally he pulled away, and I was left panting, wanting more, my lips all swollen. What the hell just happened, and why is Alpha Thane calling me his mate when I was sure I wasn't his? From the look he gave me, he knew that too. "Pretend," he whispered in my ear, low enough for only me to hear. Pretend?. He meant I should go along with this. Why would I do that? , why... My trail of thoughts was cut off.

(Riley's POV) Everything about Alpha Thane screamed sexuality: the way he walked, his height, his look, his lips- oh, those very beautiful lips, and the way those lips had formed out my name. Never had I thought my name could sound that sexy and enticing... Also the last thing I should be thinking about right now was how sexy he was. . He was right though; if he wanted me dead, he wouldn't need to go through all that stress to get it done; he only needed to do it right there in the mating ball. After all, they were known for just that, so it wouldn't exactly be a surprise, and not many would care about the fact that I was killed; my mother would, though. "Then what do you want?" "I want you to come with me, as my mate," he answered, as if that were the simplest and most obvious thing. "What?" "I guess you heard me clearly, and you need a while to process it." "No, I do not need a while; I am not your mate; I know that; you know that; and I cannot leave my pack a

(Riley's POV) It didn't make sense. That Alpha Thain of the Nightshade pack had chosen me; I had so much to gain—my mother's freedom, 'my freedom', and wealth—lots of it. It felt almost too good to be true. He had told me that he never made any deals in which he had nothing to gain, but I can't imagine what he had to gain from being mated to me. Yet, his promises had been mouth-watering, every single word, and I knew he was right. I knew I would agree to his terms, whatever they might be, as long as my mother was free. He was not a gentleman; he had told me just that, and that was the one thing I believed. After the little conversation, he had left me here all alone, to think about his proposal. No, he didn't bother escorting me back to the ball where he had taken me; he was letting me know, even from the little gestures, what kind of a man he was. When he meant he wanted me as a mate for a period of time, did that involve intimacy? Maybe it didn't; maybe I just had to play

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

"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.But then h

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

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

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

"I feel so guilty... I didn't want any of it, but still it happened, and I can't help but think that I don't deserve you. I feel tainted...""Don't say that. He forced you; that was not your fault, so don't you blame yourself for anything. Maybe I do know a way to make you feel better and we will do this together. We are going to replace those memories of him with new ones. I will make you forget about him; you don't have to be afraid."...Thane kept to his promise; when he was done making love to me, he was all I could feel down there, all I could think about.He lay beside me. It was already night time but we were both very much awake."What is your biggest fear?" I asked him, in the mood for a conversation after being away from him for so long."Can you guess?""Easy, the Lycan's Curse.""That is one. When you were away with Daemon, I was afraid; I had an idea of what he would do, and I felt so restless, but my biggest fear is losing you.""I will always be here; I am not going a
Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Seventy Three
I wondered why Bruce had kept the truth to himself all these years. Now it did make sense why he left us and just maybe, he deserved my forgiveness. My mother never did know anything about the man she fell in love with; she didn't know he was a warlock several years older than he looked. She knew nothing, and he shouldn't have left her in the dark, but still I could understand why he did that; maybe he believed he was protecting her.The members of the Nightshade pack paid their respect to Daisy. Many wept over her death; of course, they didn't know the truth about her betrayal. Thane, on the other hand, didn't like this idea; he didn't think she deserved to be buried with honor after what she did."You don't have to watch all these." Thane said to me, he believed me being here at Daisy's burial was just an act, a simple cover up."You know, I don't blame her for anything she did; she was not in her right senses. Daemon messed with her, just as he always does, and so it's him I blam
