Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Thirty Eight
Where was he? Where was Thane.The whole hall grew silent, and I noticed why, he just walked in. He was shirtless, only in a pair of torn-up jeans; he hadn’t bothered about washing off the blood of the men he had beaten up and killed; his body was covered in blood, and a cold shiver walked it way down my spine. His eyes were cold and empty; he didn’t look up to me once.“Let it be known to everyone that disobeys me; let it be known to the few rebellious amongst you, that if anyone goes against my Luna, then be ready to face death,” he says, his voice harsh and low, but it could be heard clearly even from where I sat.One of the soldiers walked forward, handing him a sword. It seemed heavy, I could tell, but the blade was so sharp it reflected.“That’s silver steel,” Axel said to me, and I gasped.Thane held it, and the crowd watched in anticipation; some even had smiles on their faces. How could they find joy in a thing like this? My question goes unanswered, maybe because I already k

I woke up in a dark, unfamiliar room. The first thing I noticed was that I had been tied to a bed. The place smelled familiar, but I couldn’t place it all. I tried clearing off my foggy mind and remembering all that had happened and why I was here, the harsh memories flooded in—the blood, the brutality, the danger. It all flooded back in.Where was I?There was a figure in the darkness; I could tell. The room was dark, but there was a dim light illuminating the wide space.“Who is there?” I questioned, and the figure walked closer, close enough that I could see all his features and every single detail of his body. The blood wasn’t there anymore, but that didn’t make him any less scary. Thane stood before me, his eyes still those dark orbs they had been in the judgment room. Was he going to harm me? There was another figure seated on the couch, one I didn’t notice earlier. Axel.“Where am I?”“Where do you think?”“Let me go.”"No,” Thane responded.“How could you do that to them?”“Th

I was fifty shades of freaking red.Axel was gentle; the movement of his hands around my clit was just as gentle. I didn’t want to think about what was happening, how close he was, or what he was doing to me.And he watched me squirm beneath his gentle touch. I let out a silent gasp when his lips circled around my aching nipple.A moan left my lips. Axel: I had cried out his name; how could this feel all wrong and yet so right?Two fingers dipped into me, and I moaned louder, struggling against the bind, riding my hips against his fingers, chasing his thrust. Axel watched my body; he watched the effect of what he did to me and how my heat pooled around his fingers, taking him in, and then he was out of me.I couldn’t imagine how lost I had been. My gaze travelled back to Thane, who watched me greedily. The lust darkened his eyes. What type of bond did Thane share with Axel? Axel held something in his hands: two dark-coloured balls, with a string connecting both of them.“Look at him,

I must have blacked out at some point, because I was back in our room and I didn’t recall walking my way here.I felt numb down there; I was sore too, and I wasn’t alone. Axel sat there, staring at me. I looked away almost immediately. I was finally clear of the high I felt and now I was totally red, and my mind wouldn’t stop replaying all that had happened—how he had touched me everywhere.“How are you feeling?” he asked, his eyes never leaving mine.“I’m fine—well, not fine considering I can’t walk—but...” I rambled on.His chuckle gave me a pause, and I swallowed nervously. Could the earth just swallow me already?“I guess you are still surprised.” he questioned. Surprise was not quite the word.“It did feel surreal,” I admitted. “Please don’t tell me to look you in the eyes; I can’t handle that now,” I admitted, knowing he was about to say that. Axel loved seeing me embarrassed.“It was a surreal moment for me too,” Axel says.“Is this normal? I mean you two...” I couldn’t say th

“Thane is on his way here; I should leave,” Axel said to me. I wasn’t expecting Thane; it was nowhere close to the time of his usual return. But just as Axel had said, Thane walked in.“How is she?” he asked Axel, shrugging off his suit as if I were not in the room.“She just needs more rest,” Axel said, and I felt like there was some hidden message he was trying to pass on to Thane that I wasn’t getting.“I don’t need any more rest; I've been sleeping for hours,” I piped in, and Thane smirked at that.Axel stood, leaving us alone. It was strange that being alone with Thane was just scarier.“You let Axel have sex with me?” It was more of a statement than a question.“Yes, does it bother you?” He asked, watching me. “You seem close to him, and he would never hurt you,” Thane said, joining me on the bed.Does it bother me? The weirdness of it all bothers me, but apart from that, did it really bother me? , No, not really."Is just... some Alpha wolves get possessive, and others...”“Der

The dress Thane had picked out for me wasn’t that bad. Though it revealed my back and threatened to go lower, the front was decent enough, exposing a little of my cleavage. The green dress had two slender straps and a deep slit. It was beautiful.Thane walked in, already fully dressed; of course, he didn’t need much to look as spectacular as he did now."Sit,” he says, pointing at the chair, and I take my seat, knowing if I don't, there will be consequences.He selected a large diamond necklace with matching earrings, and he put them on me. I didn’t miss his hands lingering on my neck longer than supposed. But he hadn’t stopped there; he had proceeded with my hair. It was indeed a surprise; one would never expect a man like Thane to have the patience required to learn hair styling.“How did you learn how to do this?” I asked, staring at the mirror. My hair was in an updo, and I was sure I had never looked this beautiful.“I did this for my mother a few times,” he admitted, but there w

Alpha Slade and his mate’s seats remained empty.“I need to go to the restroom” I said to Thane.“Axel can go with you.”“I can go on my own,” I say, my cheeks reddening. I didn’t think he should worry about any attack, not after the example he had set for the others. I noticed how the other pack members seemed to keep a good distance from me; they were all afraid of coming too close and I couldn’t blame them.Thane wasn’t happy about my choice, and I was very sure he would come looking for me if I took more than a few minutes. But I wasn’t planning on returning; after all that happened today, I just needed to go back to the room and shut everyone else out.It was only going to be six months. I reminded myself.I knew the way back to our room, and I had made sure to study the routes we had followed when coming here, I wasn’t about to get lost again.I exited the hall, very aware of the stares boring into me."Luna,” a female who had been leaning against the wall, called; of course, it

“How dare you disrespect me?” Slade roars, “I put a roof over your head and food in your fucking mouth. I bought you all you need, and this is how you repay me, bitch! You disrespect me!”Slade lifted the whip again, but this time I dove before Freya. He had seen me; he knew I walked in; he could have stopped the whip from hitting me, but there was a curve on his lips as the whip landed against my waist, circling itself up my ribs, very close to my cleavage. The pain was unlike any I had ever seen, and I fell to the ground, letting out a loud cry, my hands wrapping around my abdomen.Just then, he walked in.I could tell it was Thane even before the deep ear-splitting roar escaped his lips.I looked up just in time to see Thane collide against his father. Slade hadn’t been expecting the attack. Thane’s claw slashed into his father’s neck.He was vibrating, almost like he couldn’t stand on his feet, and then he switched into his wolf form. Slade was quick to switch, too. But I could te

Daemon stroded towards the door; he paused only to shift back into an imitation of Thane.“Daemon.” I called, and he turned to me. “The Dawn pack, why did you want to go to war against them?”“No reason; it was Vox orders.”“And you just… obeyed.”“Yes. I just obey.” With that he was gone.…..I walked through the underground chambers; I’ve heard about a secret exit somewhere in here. I spotted a large rectangular metal container; I was sure it hadn’t been here before, so I ignored it.There was indeed an exit, the space so small it could barely fit my body. I managed to go through the space, and I headed to the pack borders where Trent was waiting. He had done just as I had asked, and now he was back. I only hope there was no bad news.“Luna.” He called. “I owe you my sincere gratitude. Whoever had led those armies, they would have caught us unaware; we wouldn’t have survived it. The Dawn pack owes you big time.”“This is good news, and I am glad to hear it.” He didn’t know the att

Riley’s POVI knew it; I knew this wasn’t Thane. There had been something different about him, and despite the fact that he bore no attributes of a demon, I still had my doubts.Right before my eyes, the man who had taken Thane’s form shifted; of course, it was Daemon.“How is this possible? Your skin — it was warm, you walked under sunlight, and you shapeshifted…”“Earlier you told me you visited Jade; did you find her?”It finally sunk in. If he was here, free, then Jade must be in danger or —worse.“What did you do to her?” I sneered at him.“Me? No, I didn’t do anything; this is not on me but on her. After you gave me over to her to be tortured for her little ritual, a lot did happen. Did you know that the ritual did work, Vox—the Demon Overlord, He is very much alive. More to that, he killed Jade after she resurrected him.”“I don’t believe you. What did you do to Jade?”“And why do you think I would lie? To make you see me as a ‘better person?’ I don’t really care what you think

"Lately, He had been acting strange, and I was going to say something, but I had to be sure, and then the way he spoke to you back there, Thane would never do that.""What do you suggest?" I asked."I don't know what might be the cause, but a day ago I overheard his conversation; I believe he plans to attack a neighboring pack; the plan is to take their land and resources; their people would be forced into slavery.""A neighboring pack?""Yes, he said the 'Alpha' trusted him enough, and before he realized where the attack was coming from, it would be too late.""Trent.” I gasped, “He was referring to Alpha Trent. When are they going to attack?""Two days from today.""Arrange me a meeting with Trent; make sure no one finds out about it. I will meet him by the pack borders.""Yes, Luna." Again, Thane would never attack a pack who had done him no wrong; the man I had been living with, he wasn't Thane, and I was sure of it.Despite that knowledge, I would have to pretend; I wouldn't l

Thane might notice my absence from the pack, but I couldn't bring myself to care about that now; I needed to find Isabella or Logan; they were the only ones who could give me an explanation of what happened to Thane. And I couldn't find them without help, so I was off to Jade, the sorceress.Lately, I've been having doubts. What if that wasn't Thane? What if Daemon had somehow gotten back his 'abilities?' But then if it was Daemon, he would have killed me a long time ago for what I did to him; he had no reason to keep me alive, and let's not forget that Jade had promised to keep him away. But she had lost him once, there is a possibility she could lose him again.I flew down to the familiar spot, glad to have my wings back in action; this had been Jade's court, where Nick had brought me to, but the place looked completely different; trees had sprouted out from the midst of the court, making it look like she was never here. I punched a tree hard, causing it to crack under the impact.

He didn't give a response; that's exactly what I had expected. "I guess you would rather they die than for Riley to get hurt. We aren't much different after all.""No, I would never hurt her, and maybe you are right; we aren't much different after all, but let's not pretend like you can actually get me out of here, because I know you can't."He was right; I couldn't do a thing. I could not help him, and yet I wanted to hear his answer, maybe because I wanted to remind him that I wasn't the only selfish person here or because I wanted to feel less guilty about what I was doing. "You should eat something." "Bella?""Yes," I answered, hopeful. "Go to hell.""You jerk. Do you know what it took me to come here? I was worried about you; Logan didn't care if you died.""I'll die anyway, but I wouldn't wish your face to be the last I see before I die."I was completely speechless. I couldn't hold back the tears; I turned away from him and walked away..I returned to Logan's. He sat on his
Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Eighty Four
I could hear the disappointment in his voice, and for a moment I wondered if there was another way; what if he didn't have to die?"When you rejected me, I had felt so broken; I... attempted taking my own life just to end it all. Logan saved me.""Bella, once I did love you. I was willing to do anything for you. After you passed, a lot happened. I couldn't recover from your loss, and at a point, I lost myself. Years later, I met Riley, and she saved me from the monster I was becoming. I can't love two at the same time without hurting the other.""But you've always loved her more.""Yes. I do."Every time he said those words, they broke me, maybe because I knew it was true: Riley wasn't his fated mate, and still he loved her. I, on the other hand, have the benefit of the mate bond; his wolf would always be drawn to me, and yet, he didn't want me. What he felt for her was more than love; it was devotion, obsession, admiration, and so much more. Not even what we shared in the past could

ISABELLA"He's out there in the cold; he's not being fed, and it has been a whole week; he is going to die!" I said to Logan, who only shrugged. He never did like Thane; he didn't really care. "You know what? I'm going to him." I headed for the door, but in a flash, he was already by the door, right in front of me."Should I remind you what this 'Thane' did to you? He wouldn't have cared if you drowned to death; he doesn't really give a fuck about anybody but himself and his little mate. Any other person becomes a nuisance—you became a nuisance. He rejected you, sent you away.""I betrayed him! I deserve everything I got and more.""He didn't know about your plan; he wouldn't have cared if you were innocent." I attempted walking past him, but he blocked my path once again. "After what had happened, all he would want to do is kill you; you don't need to worry about him anymore; focus on yourself and what makes you happy."Logan picked me up, his palm massaging my thigh, going higher; h

The history books said nothing about the curse, and everything else was in there. She had brought up an explanation for that. I should have known she was lying, but I had no idea of what was happening; at that point, I would have believed anything."Flynn gave her a potion; she managed to slip it into your meals before they got delivered.""That doesn't sound very convincing; my meals are only handled by the cooks and maids; they know better than to try poison me.""Of course they do, but then again, there is… Pricilla." Realization dawned on me almost immediately. I had let her back into my pack for Axel's sake; she was his mother despite everything she had done, I wanted to give her a chance. That was my mistake. "You don't have to hate her; it wasn't exactly her fault. She was simply the easiest option. When she came to you, she never planned to betray you or the pack; she had pleaded a whole lot about how she wanted to be a changed person and how she didn't want to disappoint you

"I'm guessing there were no truths to all you told me." "Actually, the part about me not being your father was true." Slade responded, clearly enjoying this."What is the point of all these? Kill me; one of the biggest packs in the world will be left without their Alpha.""No, I would be there to fill the space.""As a ghost? Come on, you've got to think better than that.""You are a lycan, a powerful creature; also, you are the Alpha King and that's why you are here.” he cuts his sentence off, not wanting to give out too much information. “You know it had once been me, and it could be like that again. You don't know what it felt like watching you take over my pack, what it felt like watching you take my place, what rightfully belonged to me. You were just the bastard son, and yet, the goddess gave you the crown. I think Logan is a bit jealous. He had to spend his whole life hiding while you were out there, you became everything he wanted to be and much more.""The longer I stay miss
