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

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

(Riley's POV) I didn't know what my mother had against Alpha Thane and his father, but she had agreed to come with me after I had persuaded her. I had to tell her what Ryker had wanted me to be—a little pet for him—and that was all she needed to finally change her mind. Though she didn't like this idea and I knew it, we both knew we had no other choices, and I would rather die than leave my mother here. She helped me pack up. I had only a few things; I picked out only the important things, and a single bag was enough to contain my stuff. . Alpha Ryker walked into my room, not bothering to knock. "You know it is very unappropriate to walk into a lady's room without knocking, right?" I questioned, and my mother gave me a questioning look, but this time I didn't listen. "Now the true Riley shows herself; I knew you had all that pent-up anger in you for a long time; I actually expected you to slip in the mating ball last night, and I am totally surprised you didn't." "That's

Daemon placed the pack of ice on my wrist. Sometimes, I couldn't even understand him. One moment he is the nice guy, and the next moment he is the villain, a total monster. It had been the other part of him I saw that made me believe I could change him.He took a seat on the couch, going through a notebook."You read; that is surprising.""No, this is not a novel.""Then what is it?""I picked it up from Daisy's room; I couldn't leave it behind.""It belonged to her?" I asked, and he nodded."She seemed to love drawing a lot," he said with a small smile."You liked her," I stated."I felt something for her." He admitted."Then why did you kill her? It makes no sense; she loved you back.""Because she wanted to be with me.""And why is that a problem?""You think I don't know about Isabella and Thane?""Leave Thane out of this.""He keeps taking you for granted over and over again; she is his mate for fuck's sake. He should have let her go the moment he set eyes on her, yet he'd rather

“You cannot force me into loving you, Daemon.”“I can and I will.” Daemon shrugged his suit off and began unbuttoning his shirt. “What are you doing?” He gave no response. I scrambled out of the bed, but he caught up to me. “Don’t think your little stunt won’t go unpunished, Riley.” He says, taking off his belt.“You wouldn’t dare.”“I saw your son, Ethan. He is one cute little thing.” Daemon said with a smirk playing on his lips. I could see the unspoken threat.“No, not Ethan, please no!” I sobbed.“I didn’t hurt him... not yet, but now you know what I would do if you don’t cooperate, little Riley.”“Don’t do anything to him.”“I promise you, Riley, if you stop acting like a bitch, then I wouldn’t hurt him.”“I won’t; I will behave.”“Good girl. Now strip.”“What?”“Don’t make me repeat myself.”“I know you, Daemon; you are better than this.”“I’m not, and soon you will understand that. Now strip.”He watched me as I took off my clothes; when I was completely naked, he positioned

TRIGGER WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CHAPTERS CONTAIN TRIGGERING CONTENT; READ WITH CAUTION.Tears streamed down my face as I stared at Daisy’s lifeless body; her eyes were still open, frozen in shock.“Why would you do this? She did nothing to you!”“Here you go, once again, caring for the same person who betrayed you.”“You did this; you messed with her head.”“She was far gone, Riley. I would have let her go, but she is going to get all crazy and try to find me. She was a loose end; I had to kill her.”“You didn’t have to, but you did anyway because you are nothing but a monster.”“I made her death quick; I should get some points for that, don’t you think?”I punched him in the face; it could have fazed any werewolf, but he wasn’t one. “I am stronger than you, Riley. You are only half demon; you don't really think you can really harm me, do you?”I threw another punch at him, but he caught my wrist midair. I pulled free of his grasp before letting out my wings, I darted towards the windo

Maybe Thane was right; I didn't have to push him away. Isabella could stick around, but that didn't mean I would have to leave just so she could be with him. I made a decision. I was going to fight for what belonged to me..When I returned back to Thane's room, I was met with the sight of Thane on the floor, unconscious; claw marks marred his body, and a few more identical marks on Isabella."What's wrong?" I asked her."It happened again, and it's getting worse.""You need a healer.""No, I will heal, and so will he.""How can I help? Just tell me what to do.""Nothing. There is nothing you can do Riley, and it's not safe for you to be around him anymore.""I'll be the one to decide that.""Riley. You need to listen to me. I thought this would work, but it won't. You cannot be around him.""But you can?""Do you know what happened to Logan's mate?""He told you about Logan?" I asked, feeling a bit betrayed."No, he didn't. I've been getting some fragments of my memory back. Logan ha

RILEY"Finally you show up." I muttered, letting Thane in."Are you mad at me?" he asked; of course he sensed that almost immediately."No, I'm not.""You sound mad, Riley.""How did you think I would feel? I hate the fact that you have to be with her.""You said this was what you wanted. I wanted none of this, but I did it for you, and now you are going to put it all on me?""I didn't know what I was thinking.""So does that mean you'll return back to the room and stop all these?"I shook my head but said nothing."When I brought up the idea of both of you in one room, it didn't occur to me that you will both have to share a bed.""You saw that, didn't you?""Yes, I did.""Nothing went on between the both of us.""I know that, but I couldn't help but see how perfectly matched the both of you were. She had her legs wrapped around you, and you seem to enjoy her company. I don't know what to think anymore.""I love you.""Where is it? I keep hearing those words, but I can't see it; I ca

Once again, the bed was empty by the time I awoke. I felt a hollow in my chest; once more, I would have to hold onto the memories he had left, until his next visit. I was sore, but I managed to get out of bed. I took my pills."Good morning," the voice called, and there Daemon sat, still looking through my notebook."You stayed." "Yes, I did.""Why? I mean, I am happy—you know what? Don't answer that."He gave me a small smile, and it might just be the most human thing I had ever seen him do."You don't have to be uncomfortable around me; I won't harm you." he assured. I couldn't come up with anything to say. "It occurred to me that I don't know anything about you — except that you are the pack healer. I didn't know you drew. This drawing is really nice.""Thank you. I have been drawing and painting for years now; it’s something I do to keep calm."This was the most he had said since I knew him, and I wanted to keep the conversation going, but I didn't want to say the wrong words."W

DAISY'S POVIt wasn't the same.When Daemon made love to me, when he bit me, all I felt was pleasure. Maybe I didn't realize it at the beginning, but he had become like an addictive drug, the more I got, the more I wanted. I thought it had just been the bites, and so I had tried getting that from Riley, but it wasn't the same.The Luna knew where he was. Why wouldn't she tell me?Each day, it got worse. I scrolled through my notebook; he occupied every single page.I had drawn him about a hundred times, and yet, I picked up a pen, ready to make another image. This was the only way I could keep myself from losing my mind thinking about him.Twenty minutes later, I was done with a perfect drawing of him. In this drawing he was shirtless, those locks of shiny black hair fell over his eyes. Damn, was he sexy."Hello, Daisy," the voice called.For a moment, I had thought it was all in my mind. It sounded so real. Slowly I turned, and there he stood, yet I couldn't be sure, this could jus

**DAEMON** "I have every reason to kill you." Bruce said to me as he tended to my wound. I should have kept an eye out for Thane; maybe I did underestimate him."I know.""No, you don't. You are a fool if you think you have a chance with my daughter; you don't. Many have tried; she has eyes for only one man.""I've learned from my mistakes; I won't repeat them.""Of course you won't; I will not let you," he says.We were back in Bruce's home. I hated this place; for some reason it made me feel powerless, totally helpless.Bruce had helped me escape from Jade; together we locked her away, but I always felt like I escaped from one prison only to fall into another. Just like Jade, Bruce wanted to control me, but unlike her, he made me feel like I had an option even if I didn't."You gave them the pendant; why?""Why else do you think? I know about what you did to my daughter, against her will.""You don't really care, so stop the pretense.""Is that what you think? That I don't care?Ju
