Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Sixty Three
I didn't sleep all night. Finally, when It was dawn, I rose from the bed and headed into the bathroom, rummaging through the closets for my clothes. They weren't here; I only found a robe, and so I put it on quickly before returning back into the room."Riley. What are you doing? Come back to bed, you need some more rest." Daemon muttered."I'm sorry." I said, and with that I threw the blinds open. He should have never told me about his newfound weakness. The sun burnt his skin, I didn't wait to watch him die. I raced down the stairs and out of the main entrance door, and I froze. The house was practically in the middle of nowhere; snow covered the ground. Where exactly was this place?The drugs he had used on me prevented me from using my wings, and so I ran on my feet; the wild wind blew through my hair, causing my eyes to water, but I couldn't stop running. After a few hours, I slowed down, I couldn't run anymore; My breaths were shallow and foggy, visible in the cold air. With e

ISABELLAEARLIER…I knew about Logan Diminitri’s visit; I also knew about their plan to find a cure.Thane didn't like the control I had over him, I knew it would come to this. I wondered what I would be to him when he had found the cure. I won't be of any use to him if that happened, he would have no reason to let me stay at the pack.Was it selfish that I didn't exactly want him to find a cure?I stared at him lying on the bed. It was still there, his feelings for me were still somewhere in there but he would never admit it because he loved her more.I was becoming a different version of myself, and I didn't like it one bit. Thane needed the cure; I knew this would only get worse if he didn't find it, yet a part of me didn't want him to find the cure, and then Riley—I had sent her away because I wanted to be alone with Thane; I wanted him to wake up to my presence; I wanted him to see that I would always be there for him. It was a selfish thing to do, and here I was, alone with him

RILEY"Change of plans." Daemon said, a frown etched to his face. "You will pay a visit to your pack.""What?" I questioned, this must be some kind of a trick."You heard me right. Maybe I underestimated Thane's feelings for you; I'd rather not take the risk, so it's time to end this off the right way.""End what?""You will say your last goodbyes to Thane, just so he will stop searching. He had involved Bruce, your father, in this, and now I have even more enemies, but it wouldn't be so if you told him how much you love me and how you plan to live the rest of your life with me.""You are going to force me into doing this too?" I asked."Yes, I will.""I will do as you said, but leave the people I care about and every other person out of this.""Of course," he promised. "I'll be back in an hour; I'll leave you to prepare a very convincing speech," he said before leaving me alone. I stared at Daisy's notebook. Could I be able to pass a secret message to Thane without Daemon finding ou

THANEMaybe it had been because this had happened once before, or maybe because despite her words, I still saw through her.She didn't mean any of it; she must have been forced. I wondered what Daemon could have over her.Riley would never move on without Ethan.I slipped my hands into my pocket, and I noticed a piece of paper. I was sure it hadn't been there a while ago. I pulled it out. Riley must have slipped it into my pocket, maybe at the time she hugged me. I couldn't help but smirk; that was a smart move. On the paper were written three words that seemed to be scrambled in a haste. 'Use the pendant.' ..."Thank you for coming." Bruce said, letting me in.The building was a perfect hideout; the outside made it seem like this was an abandoned space, but inside was completely… different."Did you bring the pendant along?" he asked, and I nodded, tossing the emerald pendant to him; he caught it.I spotted a mid aged woman, she stood by his side with a smile that looked too fake

RILEY "Was the hug really necessary?" Daemon asked. "You said I should make it convincing, and I did." "All those things you said back there... did you mean them?" he asked. "You mean when I said you make me happy? No, not really." "You know, you could have lied and said, ‘Yes’." "Did I hurt your feelings? Good, because that serves you right." Daemon's gaze drifted past me to the notebook on the table. "Did you touch the book?" he asked me, and I rolled my eyes at him. "Of course not." I lied. But he walked past me and picked the book up. He scrolled through the pages and paused. "This book is missing a page, Riley." "What do you mean?" "Where is it?" "I'm not in the mood for this..." My words were cut off when Daemon slammed me hard against the wall; my head collided against the wall, and for a moment I felt dizzy. "You little bitch, I did everything for you, and yet, this is how you repay me?" "I don't understand what you are talking about!" I cried out. "Don't play

ISABELLA'S POVI was worried about Riley; since she was gone, Thane refused to allow himself even a few minutes of sleep. He blamed himself for everything—but it wasn’t his fault; it was mine.I paced round the room, waiting for any update about Riley's whereabouts; just then, Thane walked in."Thane! Is she alright?" I asked him."She is alive," he responded. "What happened to her? Where is she?""I think we need to talk," Thane says."I know, I'm sorry about earlier; I had no clue she was in danger; I shouldn't have tried to stop you from going to her.""It's not about that, Bella," he said, and I couldn’t help but notice how he wouldn’t even look at me."Then what do you want us to talk about?""I want you out of this pack."For a moment I doubted if I heard the right words, but there it was, what he wanted to talk about."What... why? I am sorry if I did anything wrong. I just... I don't have anywhere to go.""You can't stay here anymore.""No, you need me; I can help you—I know

RILEY POV"Hello, Riley." The woman said, "Don't mind my newly acquired body. Thane did get your message and managed to free me from Hades."Daemon turned to me; I had never seen such hate in his eyes before and this time it was directed at me."Where is Thane?" I asked Jade."He should be here in a few minutes, assuming Bruce got the shifting spell right.""How did you find me?" Daemon asked her."It was easy; we are linked in a way."In a flash, Daemon appeared right before me, gripping me tightly as the black mist swirled around us. He was escaping, and he was taking me with him, I had no right to fight him.But something was wrong; I could see it on Daemon's face. He finally let go of me.It didn't work. We were both still in his room.Daemon let out a cry of pain as he fell to the ground, clutching his ear; blood dripped down his nose. Jade seemed to be doing something to him; her eyes glowed, and her hands were outstretched. She didn't stop till the footsteps drew both our atte

"I once told you the difference between a sorcerer and a warlock: a sorcerer is born into magic while warlocks have to earn theirs. Our magic comes from a… dark source. All my life, I hungered for power. I believed I wasn't born to live an ordinary life and I wouldn't settle for less. I studied every supernatural creature, and that's how I knew about Vox.""Who is Vox?" I asked Bruce."He is the Demon Overlord, a powerful entity, and he saw me as useful. I went on missions for him—while I wasn’t skilled in the physical aspect, my knowledge and resourcefulness made up for it. I wanted to become his favorite, but with Vox, things don't work that way. You are only important to him when you are of use.I was able to complete all my tasks; I did really bad things, none of which I am proud of, and finally I was rewarded; he made me a warlock. Just as I had wanted.Still, I wanted more, and my greed got in the way.A warlock's magic never does die. If a warlock kills another, he gets a port

ALEXANDER’S POVMy blurred vision slowly cleared, and I realized I was in what looked like a small, empty room.The wall facing me was made of thick, transparent glass.I couldn’t tell how they managed to get me in here—there was no window or door, only a narrow slot likely meant for passing food and letting in just enough air to keep the ‘prisoner’ alive.I could only assume there was some kind of hidden entrance.My hands and ankles were bound with thick silver chains.The chains felt excessive—I could barely move a muscle.More wolfsbane than I’d ever consumed in my entire life had been pumped into my system, completely immobilizing me and filling me with this nauseating, sickly feeling. I hadn’t realized I was shivering until I noticed the tremble in my fingers.The room was chillingly cold, and with the wolfsbane suppressing my werewolf abilities, I was no exception to the cold. I tried to summon flames. Nothing.Maybe I was just too weak to summon the flames. The crushing feeli

1KADIA’S POVWhen I discovered the news of my pregnancy, I had been so happy. But I knew a lot would have to change.I had to be more cautious—for the baby. That meant I wouldn’t be able to keep training the pack soldiers for much longer. Of course, I’d have to give up that duty eventually and it had become a part of my life. I would have to watch my diet, too. And then there were other things. Like the fact that I would grow big, and I might not look the same. My toned stomach which I had spent years working on would be no more.This had been the type of life I once abhorred, but everything was different now—I wanted this. I could see a future with Alexander, filled with laughter and little kids running around, and the thought made me smile.Lara was the first person to find out I was pregnant.After I discovered the pregnancy test was unmistakably positive, I was as scared as I was excited.Lara happened to be visiting the pack, and we kind of bumped into each other.

KAIDA’S POVThe flesh-eaters were all gone. Packs that had been destroyed were slowly rebuilding; the chaos had finally settled. But there were still many things to attend to—like the few humans who now knew that dangerous supernatural beings lived among them.The human president had reached out to us; He was ready to pay whatever sum was needed to keep creatures like the ‘flesh-eaters’ away, as they could cause civil unrest among the people. He was willing to pay even more so things could return to the way they were when humans and supernatural beings lived separately.Alexander sent a letter back, assuring him that the ‘creatures’ were gone and that things would continue as usual. What they didn’t realize was that many werewolves and supernatural beings already lived among humans. They owned major companies and enterprises worldwide. From popular clothing brands to tech products, much of it was secretly controlled by the werewolf community.One constant worry lingered on my mind —

JADE POVEarlierI had chosen to spend my final hours in the little underground lair just beneath the small house I owned.At the other side of the room, trapped behind a magical wall, was a flesh-eater. I had captured it and brought it back here. If Aliyah does go through with her words, then the creature wouldn’t last until the next day.Hours passed, and the beast remained caged—still alive, still stupidly trying to push through the magical barrier I had created to contain it, no matter how many times it got scarred from trying.I wouldn’t blame the girl if she backed out; she had every right to make that decision. She was young and in love—it wasn’t easy to let go of everything for people who were mostly strangers.Beside me was a picture of Ralph. The only one I had, and the only thing that had accompanied me through the years. Many would say I lived a lonely life, but that was the only way I knew how to live—though it hadn’t always been that way.I thought back to when Ralph wa

DAEMONAliya was in the same silk white nightgown she’d slept in. A soft breeze blew through her silver hair. She looked surreal, like an angel. “I have to do this.” She said, and I could see the determination in her eyes.“No, you don’t have to do this. I told you I would find a way…”“There is no other way.” she said, cutting me off. “This is the only way. I can end the war, and this is what I have to do to end it.”I’d remember those words in the dream I had. She’d told me how she could “end the war.”Those eyes stared at me like she could read exactly what I was thinking.“Do you love me enough to let me go?” she whispered—and that’s when it hit me: it was never a dream. “The undead would be gone if Solene died. The war would end if I took my life—with this dagger.”“Tell me one thing, Aliyah. If you were in my place, would you let me go?” I asked. Tears spilled down her cheeks. She didn’t answer, maybe because we both knew what that answer was. “Why in the hell do you think

ALIYAHI stood watching the lake.The memory of what had happened here resurfaced, and I smiled. There were still so many things I had yet to do, so many adventures waiting out there.I looked down at the dazzling diamond on the engagement ring Daemon had given me. It must have cost a fortune, but that wasn’t why I thought it was beautiful. It would always be my most prized possession because of what it signified.Now I could see the truth—Daemon would have given up his title to be with me.I didn’t deserve his love. I didn’t deserve him. And yet, I wanted him.The best days of my life were the ones I spent with Daemon. Truly, he was the greatest gift life had given me, and I would always be grateful for that.But I had to make a decision.**FLASHBACK**“I need to speak to the girl alone,” Jade said, and I watched the others walk away, leaving me alone with the sorceress.“I remember it all,” I confessed. “I remember how many people died because of me… how many others I killed.”“That

“What did I taste like?” Aliyah asked.“Different… better.” If that was even possible.“That’s because I still have her powers. Even if she’s locked away, she’s still in there.”“You feel her?” I asked.“I hear her. She never stops reminding me that my time is ticking.” Aliyah said.“I will make her pay for what she did to you,” I promised.“She will pay.”…In moments like this, we truly see the vanities of life. Wealth, power, titles—none of them hold any true value. What truly matters are the small, fleeting moments shared with the people you love. Those are the things that endure.Time, too, is a precious thing. It belongs to no one, and no one can stop it. Aliyah walked out of the bathroom.“This is the best bath I’ve had in a really, really long time.”“Would have been better with me in there.”“Maybe, but I’m sore, and we both know you can’t keep your hands to yourself.”“You’re right about that. Now take a seat.”“Why?”"Or stand, if you prefer," I said, watching her raise an

DAEMON’S POVThis wasn’t a dream.It was real; Aliyah was back.All I wanted to do was apologize, over and over again, for every wrong I’d done to her. I wanted to beg for forgiveness, but we only had a single day, and I wasn’t going to waste a second of it. I just wanted to make her happy and give her something to hold onto.“Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?” I asked, and she smiled.“Yes, you have, but hearing it a few more times wouldn’t hurt.”I’d decided to take her away from this pack—to somewhere far from all the chaos and everything that had been happening these past few days.“How did it feel?” I asked, and I didn’t need to say more, she understood exactly what I meant.“Awful. I was there, and yet… not. I couldn’t see what was happening, couldn’t control anything—but I could hear. I heard everything.” She looked up at me. “I did hear when she tried seducing you. And I felt her embarrassment when you turned her down.”Her smile widened.“She might have your body, y

KADIA’S POVTwo packs had been attacked by the flesh-eaters; only a few survivors escaped.The other packs were strengthening their security to avoid being caught off guard. Humans weren’t exempted; many had reportedly gone ‘missing.’ Though their government was doing its best to cover things up, it wouldn’t be long before they could no longer dismiss it as a ‘serial killer attack,’ the work of ‘kidnappers,’ or even ‘wild animal attacks.’We continued to receive a flood of messages from packs allied with us, requesting aid and weapons. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t help them all. The Nightshade Pack was under curfew—only patrollers and soldiers were allowed outside after nightfall. It was a necessary safety measure, even though the flesh-eaters still lingered to the south.I watched as Alexander opened an envelope and pulled out a letter.“What’s that?” I asked.“A letter requesting aid. What’s the pack’s financial situation?” he asked, and I pulled out the file.“It’s the
