Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Eighty
ALIYA’S POVI heard footsteps approaching and quickly hid the book I had been reading. Empress Julia never liked seeing me with leisure novels; I doubted I was even allowed to read anything that didn’t concern my studies or my future as the god of light’s chosen.“Empress,” I addressed.“You look well,” She said, “How have your lessons with Cynthia been going?”“Very well, she is a good teacher.” I lied.Empress Cynthia’s lessons were the worst; I hated every minute and second of it. I was currently learning an ancient, ‘forgotten’ language called Sumerian. Most times, all I imagined was shoving the textbook down her throat. I couldn’t deny that there was something off-putting about her—but then again, so was every Empress in this damned city.“I don’t expect less.” Julia said. I could tell that wasn’t exactly the reason she was here, and she was getting to that part soon. “Have you seen Trian by any chance? I’ve sent a few soldiers to find him, but he seems to be out of reach.”‘How

I ran as fast as my feet could carry me away from the castle. I could only hope that while I was gone, Julia wouldn’t have a reason to check on me—because if she discovered I was missing, Then I was doomed.The city was alive as always.I headed straight to the fortune teller’s hut. Ever since my last visit, all I could think about was coming back here to ask her more questions—normal questions any girl would want to know. Questions that had nothing to do with me being a ‘chosen.’Trian believed that fortune tellers were all liars, maybe they were, maybe they weren’t.I stopped before the small, odd-looking hut with bones hanging from its door. I walked in and immediately spotted the old woman. She sat on a wooden stool directly in front of the fireplace, her eyes fixed on the fire. She muttered some foreign words before blowing a whitish powder into the flames, causing them to burn brighter.“How can I help you, girl?” She asked, without looking at me.“I came here to ask some more q

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 didn’t exactly call for Sarah just so she could help me draw a bath.“Luna.” Sarah addressed, bowing. “The Alpha informed me that you requested my presence.”“Yes. I wanted to ask about the girl… the little one Alexander brought from the Gray Moon Pack."I caught the slight hesitation on her face before she answered. “Her name is Amanda.”“Beautiful name for a beautiful girl. How has she been recovering?”“She’s doing very well, better than I ever expected, actually. She’s blending in with the other kids, which is nice—she should be around people her age and…" Sarah kept talking. I couldn’t help but smile.“You seem to have grown a fondness for this girl.”“I… I just feel sorry for her; I want to protect her in any way I can.”“Sarah, you know you can tell me anything.” I reminded her, and she nodded.“Of course. It’s just that I don’t know if you’ll approve.”“Approve of what?”“I had taken her back to my apartment; she has been living with me—I didn’t ask for your permission; it’s

KAIDAI should have won. I had been so close, and then he appeared out of nowhere.Alexander switched to his human form and then he…. bursted into laughter, of course he found my failure funny. “I guess it was your pride that got bruised.” he said.I transformed back to my human form too. “You are a guy, and I’m a girl—you shouldn’t be competing against me.” I said to him, and that only made him laugh harder.“I wasn’t. I wasn’t trying, and I still beat you.”“It was just luck; it won’t happen again.” I promised him; what I meant to say was I would never be foolish enough to challenge him to a race. He was not only stronger than me; he was also faster. He was better than me in everything, and that bruised my pride. “We should get back.” I turned to walk away, but in a flash he was right in front of me.“Forgotten our little bet?” he asked.Yes, that had slipped my mind; now that I think of it, I was indeed a proud fool for agreeing to it.“What would you have me do, Alpha King?”“If y

ALEXANDER’S POVReturning from my ‘trip,’ all I wanted was to see my mate. I’d missed her, missed kissing her, but then I discovered she had been kept in the dungeons for over three nights. My own advisors had seen fit to humiliate her. It took all my will to remain calm.There were going to be changes to the Council; perhaps I never needed so many advisors after all.“The woman’s name is Helen; she does have a five-year-old child. She worked for Eamon as a sales representative.” Austin read from the file.“She was paid pennies; that’s very low for a full-time worker.” I said.“Yes, it is very far below the minimum wage.” Austin agreed.“Get in touch with this woman; make sure she’s well taken care of and established.” I said to him, and he nodded, taking the file along before walking away.I turned to the rest of my advisors; tension hung in the air. They weren’t just unsettled; they were afraid, and they were right to be.“Alpha, if I may speak…” Ronan began, but I cut him off.“No,

I climbed up the stairs and stood right in front of my mate, Alexander."The man was not innocent..." I began, but my words were cut off as he pulled me onto his lap and kissed me. The kiss was passionate, raw, and full of need."Hush. You need not say a word."There was complete silence in the hall.Alexander rose, gently setting me down before walking over to Seth."You placed your Queen Luna and my mate in the dungeons. Who gave you that authority?"Seth fell to his knees. "I apologize. I meant her no harm...""It seems I need to set more examples, and you'll be the unlucky one I use to make them.""But I am your advisor; I have been by your side ever since you were only a boy.""I haven't forgotten that," Alex said, his claws tearing through his skin. "But you forgot your place."I watched in complete astonishment as Alex ripped Seth's head off his body and tossed it aside, the lifeless body crumpled to the floor, blood pooling around it."The soldiers who had been stupid enough

I lost track of time, but I estimated it had been over two days since I had been locked down here.Alexander should have returned by now. He should have come for me, but instead, I'm left here alone, seething with fury.Perhaps the idea of me being down here entertained him; perhaps this was another fun game...My thoughts were cut off when I heard footsteps approaching.It wasn't Alexander as I had expected, it was Aric."I should have visited earlier, but a few of the council members didn't want me in here. I need to know what happened.""I killed a man." I admitted."Seth had no right to lock you down here, none of them do.""Actually they have the right. The Council is next in command after the Alpha; it's been that way for years.""Fuck the Council.""You aren't going to ask why I killed the man?""No. If he is dead, then he most likely deserved it." Aric said, and I couldn't help but smile."He did deserve it, and if time was taken back, I would have stabbed him over and again,

I came to the Pack's Quarters to check how the Dawn Pack members were settling with the change, but I hadn’t bothered with the Nightshade members who also had to adjust. They had to welcome a new Luna and Queen—one raised to fight and protect her own people—and accept new members into their pack without having any say in it.Perhaps I was being unfair.The soldiers approached cautiously."I don't want to hurt any of you; don't force me.""There doesn't have to be any kind of violence." Seth agreed. "Just come willingly; you will be placed in the dungeons, but I assure you, you will get your chance to explain your actions to the Alpha King, and he will give the final verdict.""I am your Luna and Queen; I will not be placed in the dungeons.""Then you leave us with no other choice."The soldiers surrounded me, but none of them reached for their guns, of course, they were aiming for a clean capture.I dodged a punch aimed at me and landed a kick to the soldier's knee, and he lost balanc

"You've been standing here for too long; don't you want to rest? I could escort you to your room" Aric said.“Don’t treat me like that”“Like what?” Aric asked, his smile widening.“Like a… Queen. I don’t like it and no, I am not tired. But I have something more interesting in mind to do and I think now is the best time.”“Sounds like fun; I’m up for it.”“You don’t even know what I want to do.”“Anything that is ‘interesting’ to you, would most definitely be fun for me.”“I’ll be paying a visit to the Pack Quarters; I think it's also called the Outpost.” “Then I must come with you.”“No, you’ll stay here.”“Kaida. Many of the pack members are yet to see you in person; in the Outpost, some might not even know you—especially the Nightshade members and… You don’t dress like a queen—no offense, I like your choice of clothes, but you get what I mean.”“None taken. I think it is better this way; if they don’t know me, it’s easier to blend. I need to see how the Dawn members are settling w
