Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Sixty Nine
I knew Julia was going to pay me a visit—I had anticipated it. But as the hours passed, I began to hope I had been pardoned. That hope shattered when I awoke from my slumber to find her seated in the chair facing me.“Empress.” I acknowledged, about to rise to my feet.“There would be no need for that,” she says.I looked up to see Trian standing there, his gaze hard.“I’m so sorry; I disrespected the Empress, but I didn’t mean to.”“I hear you are tired of learning.”“I never said that.”“Are you calling her a liar?”“No… of course not. It was simply a misunderstanding.”“I’ve already been tasked with learning so many languages; I fail to see the use in learning more.” She quoted the very words I had spoken. "When I was little, I had so many questions—why did strange things always happen to me? I asked myself, why me? But as I grew older, I realized that every single ‘strange’ thing that happened was meant to push me toward my destiny.The god of light speaks, but no one knows the ex

I walked into Julia's chambers. The soldier escorting me waited behind. “You may come in,” she called out to me, and I stepped into the private room, finding her naked. Trian stood nearby with a glass of wine, dressed only in his pants.“Hey there.” He said to me with a smirk.I couldn’t help the sudden anger I felt. I shouldn’t be angry; I should be happy that he was totally fine and I was, but he seemed a little… too fine. One would think he was one of the High Regents, given how relaxed he looked. He fit perfectly into luxury. I had been worried for no reason, but that wasn't the real cause of my anger; I knew it. I looked away from him.“You called for me, Empress.”“Yes, I did. Empress Cynthia has decided to ignore your foolishness and engage you in lessons as previously arranged. You’ll be wise not to mess this up. I might not be as merciful next time.”“Thank you for giving me another chance; I promise not to speak out of turn or disrespect her in any way.”“Of course,” she sa

ALEXANDER’S POVIt was a risky plan, but I had always had a taste for danger.I could spot about a hundred rogues, not counting those lurking in the bushes and trees. This could either be a clever move or a very reckless one.I stepped forward, and the rogues followed. Some moved silently, slipping easily through the shadows, while others didn’t bother hiding. None of them attacked—they knew better. The deeper I went, the more of them I saw.“Alpha King.” The familiar voice belonging to Edna called.Edna was one of the rogue’s leaders.I smiled. “We meet again.”“I wasn’t expecting your visit. Brave of you to come here with no backup.”“I came to talk.”Edna smiled wide, exposing his fangs. “Of course. Come with me, you must meet the other leaders.”Edna walked ahead, and I let him lead me to the lone building standing in the middle of practically nowhere. It was a small, abandoned structure with thick wooden doors. He banged on them, and after a moment, a tiny man with huge curious e

“Why are you really here, Alpha King?” Edna asked.“As I’ve said, I am here to talk. Your people attacked my Luna; an attack on her is an attack on the pack. I have come to you with my peace terms.”“And what if we don’t give a shit about your ‘peace terms’?” Brad asks.“What if you don’t give a shit about my ‘peace terms’?” I repeated, “Then there would be a war.”“You are here, unarmed, with no backup. We could easily kill you. Yes, you will bring many of us down, but it will be worth it.”“Brad.” Edna called, and the fool finally fell silent.“You will make sure you and your rogues stay very far from my pack and what remains of the Dawn Pack. You will hold your grudges to yourself. If any of your rogues are spotted near my borders, I'll consider it an act of war against the Nightshade pack and I can assure you, you will lose sorely.”“Rogues are untamed creatures, I cannot control where they go and where they do not.”“Then you better get to work, because it’s either my way or the

"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

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

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 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

“You look younger,” I remarked.“I get that a lot.” She responded.I glanced around the house, taking in the pictures. It seemed Selene was an only child—just like I was. In one of the photos, her mother had her arms around a man with curly blonde hair. I assumed he was Selene’s father.Older photographs crowded the walls. Her voice drew my attention away from my inspection.“I’m sorry about… last time.”“What?”“The rings and all black must have scared you off.”While I thought she looked better without all those, that hadn’t been the reason I walked away.“No, it’s not that. I just hadn’t expected you to be so … young.”“Oh.” She said, and at that moment, Rebecca Ashford walked in.“If you need anything else, all you have to do is say,” she said with a smile.“Actually, I’d like to speak to you. Alone,” I replied. I didn’t miss the brief flicker of disappointment that crossed Selene’s face. “It’ll just be a few minutes,” I added.“Of course.” Rebecca said and nodded to Selene, who r

**BETA PHIL’S POV**EARLIER… (MATE BALL)I wasn’t born into any of the ‘noble’ bloodlines. None of my ancestors had ever been part of the Alpha, Beta, or Gamma clans, so I never thought I could ascend to such a position. But if my mother were alive today, she would wear that same warm smile—the one that said, ‘I told you so.’ She had believed in me, even in times when I didn’t share that belief. Pack members stepped forward to congratulate me. I couldn’t recall the last time I had felt this happy.Then, I caught the scent.Many years ago, I would have been overjoyed; many years ago, the thought of finding my mate—my other half—consumed me. But those prime years were gone, and now I saw how people were overly obsessed with the ideology of having mates. We didn’t need mates to be complete; it was all a matter of the mind. I never needed one.So why now?Why now when everything was finally falling into place?Abandoning my half-drunk glass of champagne, I rose and followed the scent. Th

Phil and I joined the pack patrollers.“We’ve got it covered here.” Phil assured them, and they spread out, giving us some privacy. "You’re very observant," he says, and I assumed he was referring to my earlier suspicion."It’s actually written all over your face. You look stressed.""Well, you’re the only one who noticed.""Maybe I do have a knack for picking up on things."I knew he wasn’t the type to share his personal problems, so I couldn’t push him; he’d talk when he felt ready. At least he had admitted to my suspicion that something was indeed wrong.“It all started back at the mate ball. Right after the ‘big announcement.’I had gone to grab some champagne when I caught the scent. That’s when I finally understood what everyone had been going on about. The scent was heavenly. She must have arrived late, I’m sure I would’ve noticed if she’d been at the ball earlier.”I didn’t bother admitting that all this time, I had assumed he was mated. I realized I knew so little about thos

KADIA’S POVMy session with the soldiers had ended for the day. I needed a hot bath and enough food to feed a small village—preferably before I collapsed from starvation.I was heading to the pack house when I spotted Phil. I’d been meaning to see him. For the past few days, he’d been a bit… absent, and that was—well, weird.Ignoring my stomach’s protests, I walked up to him, but he was so lost in thought that he didn’t even notice me until I tapped him. He turned, looking a little startled before quickly masking it.“Luna, sorry, I was just… caught up in my thoughts,” he said.I nodded, offering a small smile.“That, I can understand.” I paused, studying him. There were faint bags underneath his eyes, like he hadn’t been sleeping well. His facial hair was a little overgrown. He looked exhausted—he’d been like this since the… announcement. Was it all too much for him?“Phil, are you alright?” I asked.“Yes, of course. Why?”“Nothing. It’s just—you’ve been distant these past few days.”

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.
