Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Sixty One
Thane nodded to Axel, and he walked forward, picking me up and placing me ‘roughly’ over his shoulders, but Thane remained with Ryker.I didn’t care what would happen to Ryker, but I feared this was the last time I would ever see him.The walk back to the pack house seemed shorter, and that was strange considering we hadn’t even run. Axel had said nothing all the way back.I couldn’t bear to look at anyone as Axel took me back into my room. I didn’t care what anyone thought; what I worried about was what was going to happen to me.Axel shut the door and dropped me on the bare floor.“Axel...”“Shut the fuck up,” he warns. Never had he spoken to me in this manner.Exactly fifteen minutes later, Thane walked in. I scurried away from him, but it was no use; no matter how hard I tried, I wouldn’t be able to escape this.“Riley stand,” he orders, and I do as he said, but my feet are too shaky. “Did you take us for fools?” he asks, and I shake my head vigorously.“No, no, it was a mistake.”

My tears didn’t faze him; he had said it once that it was rather a turn-on, and now more than anything, I believed him.Thane had not intended in making me cum this time; his intentions were clear in his eyes, and I knew this was not over. If I could speak then I would try begging him again, just maybe... but no, I knew nothing could deter him from what he wanted to do, and he was going to follow through with this.I felt those sharp canines on my skin again, and I struggled; the pain had been too much, but my struggle never did affect him. This time he sank those fangs at the side of my neck, just beside where he had marked me; the pain was far more intense than the one he had bitten on my breast. I cried out, but he hadn’t stopped; his fangs sank deeper; this was more brutal than any marking I had ever seen. The pain rolled through my whole body."Thane,” I heard Axel call, and Thane pulled away from me. When I was free from his grip, I crumbled to the floor. I was in so much pain.

“You were never going to leave me all on my own in the woods, were you?”"No,” Axel answered.“You knew that I wanted to leave,” I stated. Of course they weren’t fools. It had been too easy, and I should have suspected it. I could tell them the truth; tell them Beatrix had helped me; after all, she had only sent me off to be captured by Ryker; I didn’t need to protect her.“It had been a test, Riley; one Thane didn’t think you would fall for; those girls are captives. Once in a while, some very foolish packs still decide to go on an all-out war with our pack, and when we conquer them, their members are being taken as captives. The females are given options. They could buy their freedom,” Axel explained, and I did know what he meant by ‘buying their freedom’. “The rest are released after a few years to roam about as rogues or serve the pack if seen fit.”“So Beatrix bringing me down to the Chambers was part of the test?”“No, she hadn’t intended for us to find out, but did you really t

He was mad now, and no matter how bold I felt, I knew not to say anymore on that matter. I didn’t mean what I said; of course I should have expected this, and maybe I did.“Get dressed”“Why?”“There’s a ball taking place in a few minutes, and since you missed the feast, I thought you could make it up.”“Are you serious, Thane? You locked me in for a whole week and expect me to come with you, dressed and ready for this ball.”“Yes”“I won’t. You could go alone, or better yet, go with Beatrix; you seem to have some chemistry with her.”I didn’t think Beatrix suffered any consequences for helping me escape; I, on the other hand, paid dearly for it.“You either dress up, or I do just that for you.”“And how are you intending to dress me up?”“Want to find out?”I didn’t. After all that had happened, I didn’t think being naked before Thane would help, so I walked away, heading to the bathroom. I took an unnecessary long bath, and when I returned, I noticed a deep gold-coloured gown hanged

Trent had been about to say something when a figure behind me stopped him.“I’ll like to have a dance with my Luna if you may.” Thane’s voice called from behind me, and Trent nodded, giving me a small smile before walking away. Thane took his position.“I don’t know; I’m not very interested in dancing anymore." I say to Thane, and his dark eyes pierced into me.“Are you intentionally trying to annoy me, princess? You might not like how that goes,” he says, his hands circling my waist and going lower. I felt them on my ass.I had no underwear on.Thane swirled me around; he was indeed a good dancer, I dare say, better than my previous partner; his movements were graceful, and in his hands anyone would think I was a good dancer too, but what was alarming was how close his hands trailed to the slit. For the next turn, he dipped me, lifting me up, only to guide my legs around his side; the slit fell apart slightly, revealing skin; his hands trailed up the skin; right in the open, my whole

“She seems to be growing on you,” I heard Thane’s voice say in my semi-conscious state. “Now I’m left to wonder which side are you on, Axel.”“Why would you ask such a question, Alpha? You know exactly which side I am on.”“You’ve disrespected me, Axel, over and again, and it’s all because of her." He spit out the pronoun ‘Her’ with disgust. “I apologize; I just didn’t see it fit...”“She is my mate Axel; I’ll do as I please with my mate, and you will not interfere in that,” Thane says, his voice silent but laced with furry.“Yes, Alpha,” Axel said after a moment.“Don’t think I’ll let this slide,” Thane said to Axel.I heard the sounds of footsteps approaching, and stopping right next to me."Riley, I know you are awake, so quit the pretence." Thane said, and whatever haziness I felt cleared of. I got up from the bed.I was in the Axel room and not our room.“I didn’t hear a thing,” I lied."Oh, don’t worry, princess; I wanted you to hear all of that, so you don’t need to lie or pre

I walked into the cell, Thane remained outside but the cell door was left open.The room was dark, and the only source of light was the one coming from the entrance. My eyes settled to the dim light, and there Ryker was, but I could barely recognize him. He was a bloodied heap; the only sign that he was still alive was the steady rise and fall of his chest.“Riley?”I didn’t know how he could tell it was me; he surely wouldn’t be able to see me with those swollen eyes that were mostly shut.The slight fear threatened to rise when I recalled all he had done to me and the pain he had caused me, I pushed the fear away, reminding myself that here he wouldn’t be able to hurt me, not now, not ever. I walked closer to him, close enough that the cold metal gun came into contact with his head. But to my surprise, he pulls forward, as if accepting his fate, the chains around his arm and legs rattled.“I know what I have done to you Riley; I know I have caused you so much pain, and it is a despe

“It doesn’t make any sense that you found me outside the pack borders and you wanted to hurt me... again, if you really felt sorry, then I would have expected you to begin making amends.”“I know, and you have every reason to doubt, but if you want the truth, then this is it. What we had... it wasn’t a lie, and you too could see it.”“I never thought it was a lie either, till another woman sat beside you, taking my position before my very eyes.”Ryker inhaled, and I remember the man he used to be—the man I fell in love with. I still hate him now.“After you left, everything felt empty,” he says, and I remembered how unorganized he had looked; that was very unlike Ryker. “I had to send her away; the pack members are yet to discover why, but I would only hurt her, or maybe she would poison me and make it easier. She hates me; I hadn’t been treating her right either. Since you left, things got worse... and when I saw you in the woods, I was a fool to think force could do it again; I just

THANE'S POVThe door opened, and Caleb walked in, his hands up as if in surrender. My beta, Axel followed, a gun pointed to his head."Free him," Axel said.Caleb walked to me, taking out the pipes. "The chains too." Axel said, and I could tell Caleb was not going to do that.Axel shot at his leg, but Caleb was strong—maybe even the strongest of all the elders. In the next second, Axel's gun was in his hands, and the table turned."Let him go, Caleb; it's me you want." I warned."You are right." Caleb says, "But I want him dead too."He shot at Axel. I growled, pulling at the chains; they burned my skin. He aimed for me next, pulling the trigger, but the gun was empty of bullets, and he tossed it to the ground."In every single room, I had planted a bomb; all I need to do is press the button, and everything would go 'boom'; everyone in this building would die, and I alone would be left. After a while, you will be forgotten, but for me, I'll take over from you; I will be known and fea

Axel unsheathed his sword before striding towards Nick.Nick let out his wing, flying right over us, but Axel leaped into the air, bringing him down by his wing. Axel pinned Nick down, holding both wings. I watched in amazement as Axel sliced them off, and Nick roared in pain, the bones where his wings had been attached prodded out of his back.Axel passed the blood stained sword to me. I limped to where Nick lay groaning in agony."Didn't I tell you, I will kill you?" Now kneel." I said, and he rose, falling on his knees. "Riley I..."I didn't let him say more; in a clean swipe, I incapacitated his head from the rest of his body.Axel took off his leather jacket and helped me put it on."I know a way out." Axel says, leading me out of the room, we walked down the hallways to an open space."Going somewhere?" A voice called from behind us. Bailey.She held a crossbow in her hands. "Nyaos is dead. Thane killed him. I guess this means our deal is… off."She shot the crossbow at me, bu

RILEY"It's girls time, Nick; you should leave." Bailey said to him, and he gave me a long look before leaving both of us alone. "I didn't remember telling you to stop with the dagger," she said."It fell." I lied.I didn't know if she bought that, but she spoke no more about it, taking a seat beside me."I'm going to tell you a story, one I had never told anyone before. Well, you would die in the end, so it makes no difference.I was in love once. I don't mean the casual crushes and those little feelings girls have. I was in love with Nyaos; he had always been there for me when I needed him; he helped me so many times; I can't even count the number of times he had saved my life. But Nyaos loved another; I was the ‘other woman’, and I knew that. Katara believed we were good friends; she trusted me; she trusted the both of us, and I knew what we did behind her back was very wrong, but I couldn't help myself. Nyaos said he loved us both, and though I always wanted more, I could settle

CAUTION: THERE WOULD BE VIOLENT SCENES IN THE FOLLOWING CHAPTERS; PLEASE READ WITH CAUTION.THANE.I could do it; I knew I could break through the chains. Rage is one powerful thing. I pulled hard, and the chains broke off. I ripped out the pipes that had been used to pass the fluids into my bloodstream, and I staggered to my feet. I heard footsteps approaching, and I positioned myself beside the door. Nyaos walked in; he noticed the empty chair, I could smell his fear; he should be afraid. I shut the door behind him, and only then did he notice me; he turned, his eyes widening in terror as I plunged my hand into his chest, past the crunch of his ribcage, and deep into his heart. His mouth opened, frozen in a silent scream."The cursed weapon isn't the only way to kill an elder." I whispered before I pulled his heart out. The sight of blood was so intoxicating it ignited a lust for blood in me, I wanted to spill more blood. An elder had been brought to nothing in a matter of minutes

RILEY.I couldn't turn back; if I did, he would see the tears I could no longer suppress; that would destroy everything and my little act would be over, so I didn't turn back when he called, I had my eyes pinned to the door. "When I get out here, I will kill your lover, Nick, and after that, I will kill you, bitch."Those words would forever haunt me. He sounded so cold. I wondered for the first time if I did the right thing; my fear was that my attempt to save would cause him to lose the little humanity he held onto."You did well back there." Nick says, "I almost believed that maybe you never really liked him. He seemed very angry; I would stay as far away from him as I could if I were you.""Stop talking.""Oh, come on, this was the deal; get over..."I punched him right in the face, cutting him off; blood dripped down his nose and his eyes flashed with anger. He slammed me against the wall, and my skull, still fragile from his previous attack, hit the wall hard. For a moment, all

I remembered Regnux's words; he had suspected Riley; he must have seen something, something I was too blind to see.I also recalled Riley's disappearance and how all of a sudden she wanted to tag along anywhere I went. She was the only one who knew where I had kept the keys to Bailey's cell, yet I believed there had been a spare key. I was ready to believe everything but the truth that had been right before my eyes.A fool. That was what I was.The evidence was clear, and yet... yet, I didn't want to believe it. It couldn't be true. Once I had been heartbroken, Bella's death had left me in so much pain I couldn't heal on my own. Axel had bonded with me to share my pain.But I hadn't loved my mate like I loved Riley, and that's why I refused to believe it; the truth was clear, and yet I wanted it to be a lie; I wanted there to be some kind of explanation to it."Riley, if you think you are doing this to help me in some way, then don't. This won't help me, tell me this is all lies."The

THANEI couldn't move. It must be these damned fluids being passed into my veins. I was forced to endure hours of pain and agony, the only comfort I got during that time was the minutes I spent thinking about Riley.My fear was that they got her too; I didn't mind them taking me; I was ready to bargain my life to save hers if it came down to that, she could go back to Axel, I was confident that he would take good care of her and she could live the rest of her life happy. The only problem was that in this position, my life wasn't really good enough to make the bargain. I hated to say this, but I was completely at their mercy, and that could only change if I managed to take these damned pipes out.The pain only worsened with time; maybe this would be my end. I had spent my life killing people—yes, the majority of them were those who challenged me and others who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, so this could be karma catching up with me. My only wish was to have a few more

I always knew Bailey wasn't a good person; from the very first time I saw her, something about her was off-putting, but this was beyond evil.She was not only going to torture Thane but torture me too. He would hate me; even in my death, he would never discover the truth that she had been the one compelling me, and yet... it would be worth it if he stays alive in the end. Yes, he wouldn't have his wolf, but he would still have his life."And how do I know you won't stab me in the back after I am done with what you've asked?" I questioned. I couldn't trust Bailey; I knew that."You don't really have a choice here, do you?"That was equally correct; I didn't exactly have a choice. "Take me to him.""Give him a day; he is too weak to react now.".....A day.That's what Bailey asked for, but I would have preferred if I walked right into that space and said it all to him at that moment; at least it would be over, but now I sat here, alone, thinking about what I was about to do; I didn't

RILEY'S POV I was alone in the empty containment room, chained to the chair I had been placed on. The footsteps approaching got my attention. Bailey was back, again. "Your mate is here. Just as I had said, feelings make us weak, and that was his downfall." "Don't you dare harm him." I warned, struggling out of the chains. "I guess you would want to see him, right?" She questioned me, and I gave her no answer; I wouldn't let her see how desperately I wanted to go to him. She walked to me, taking off the chains, and I immediately bolted for the door. The moment I touched the handle, the silver burned my hand. "You may call it karma—you remember the silver dagger you used on me?" she asked. "Let me out." "I'll do that, but first, we need to make things clear. In whatever you do, you will not try to escape this place. Got it?" She ordered, and I nodded, compelled. "Good, now come with me." I followed her out of the room. The building seemed ancient, clearly an underground h
