Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Twenty Nine
"I won't bind your hands this time, but you have to stay still," he says, and I could only manage to respond with a nod.He kissed my lips; this time it was soft, his palm was very low down my abdomen, and a slight movement caused the heat to build up. I let out a small moan, which was silenced by his kiss.Noticing that, he adjusted, his palm no longer having physical contact with my skin.He kissed down my jaw and then my ears, nibbling gently on my ears, and then he kissed me down my collar bones. His lips against my bare skin caused a strange kind of spark, dampening my core.His palm massaged my breasts, and I let out another moan as he sucked at my very sensitive nipple, his canine grazing into it only slightly. He repeated this action to the other, and I had already begun writhing under him, in need of more friction between our lower parts; he wouldn't give that just yet. His kisses trailed lower, between my breasts and my abdomen. I froze."What are you doing?" I questioned, t

I woke up with a smile on my face. I didn’t know how long I had slept, but I hadn’t felt this rested since I came here. I was alone on the bed; it’s not like I expected him to stay.I couldn’t help but remember everything that had happened last night, and my lower part felt kind of numb. I tried standing up.That was a big mistake. I lay back down.“You shouldn’t try that." The voice called. I hadn’t noticed Axel on the cushion.“How long have you been here?”“A couple of hours,” he says, and I didn’t miss the fact that I was naked, with a lot of evidence of what I had just done with Thane. “You look totally fucked,” he commented with a smirk, and I turned red. He did have a hidden ability to embarrass me.I pulled up the covers in an attempt to cover my nudity.“I'm not trying to humiliate you, Riley, but there’s literally no part of you I haven’t seen yet.”“I think you and Thane are freaks,” I say, and I do mean it, but I abandoned the covers. He was right, though. “Where is he?”“

Thane returned late. He paused at the door, his eyes trailing down me.“You are hurt, aren’t you?” he questioned"No,” I lied, but one look at him told me he saw through that, “yes,” I admitted.“I’m sorry,” he apologized, but there was no promise that he would go gentle next time. He had warned me, just so I could prepare myself. Yes, it was more than I could ever prepare for, but at least I knew what I was getting myself into.“I liked it a lot,” I say to him, and his eyes brighten up.“You did?”“Yes, I thought you could tell.”“You are a mystery, Riley,” he says, and I couldn’t agree to that; he was the mysterious one, and I, on the other hand, was nothing but an open book. .“Axel did take good care of me,” I said, gorging his expression.There was nothing but a smirk on his face. “Of course he did,” and that confirmed a lot.Thane was in his briefs now, and I couldn’t help but marvel at his size. I looked away quickly; I couldn’t bear any more awkwardness.“You could look as lo

I had wanted Axel there with me, and it was strange that I'd seek comfort from a man I had only met, just to face my own mother. I walked into her room, and she shut the door.I gasped. The room was beautiful. It was almost as wide as our own room."Beautiful, isn’t it?” She asked, pouring a glass of juice into two glass cups. She passed me one.“Thank you, and yes, this is a lovely space.”“You know what I hear? This was one of the previous Luna’s rooms. And my pay is way more than a person even in my position should earn.”“I am happy to see you are being treated well." I said genuinely.My mother scoffed. “I think it’s weird, all the things he does... Alpha Thane would never do anything if he wasn’t getting something in return.”“So what are you trying to say, mother? You are the mother to the Luna of this pack; how is this questionable?”“I know you more than you think, daughter. He wouldn’t have taken you if he didn’t have something to get in exchange.”“Because I am weak? Becaus

"I think we should talk somewhere more private; what do you say?""I am quite in a hurry at the moment," I replied."Where are you heading to? Maybe I could walk with you," she asks, a small smile on her lips. She hadn’t been rude and maybe we both could play whatever game this was."I was heading for my mate's room.""Is that so?, Strange that you are going in the opposite direction.""The pack house could get confusing at times.""So you are lost?" she questioned."I'll admit it, I am lost," I said with a shrug, trying to act unbothered by the fact that I was alone here with this Beatrix. I had seen her fight; she was good; there was no doubt she could take me down easily. Being alone with her was dangerous, but letting her know I was lost was even more dangerous."Let's make a deal, Luna. I'll help you on your way back if you could only give me a few minutes of your time.""And if I refuse?" I ask with a cocked eyebrow. I had to look calm and settled, and I really hoped it worked.

I didn’t think she was leading me the right way. But I didn’t let her know that. I tried keeping track of every route we followed, but there were just too many turns.“Riley”. I turned to see Axel. I couldn’t deny the relief I felt the moment I saw him. “I told you to stay there; where did you go...” His words trailed off as he only seemed to notice Beatrix at my side, and he gave me a questioning look.“Beta. Not to worry, she is safe with me; we were only having a little chat, and I was going to escort her back to her room; she’s not very familiar with this place yet.”“Thank you, but I will be taking over now,” Axel said, taking my arms and leading me away.Beatrix had actually been leading me the right way.When we were a good distance away, Axel stopped.“What?”“I told you to wait there. Why didn’t you” Axel questioned“I got overwhelmed; I’m sorry.”“No, don’t be. I had been worried.”“Why? Wait, did you think I was going to run away?”“I thought of that, but of course, you wou

“Does whatever you have to tell me endanger you?”I thought about it. “Not really, why?”“Then I can promise you, Thane wouldn’t know.”“Beatrix suspects something.”"Well, she’s a fool; nothing to bother about,” Axel said. He didn’t seem to like her very much, and that brought a smile to my lips.“This is something to bother about. She had seen me when we both visited the training grounds. And she had pointed out the fact that I had no visible marks due to the...” I trailed off, but Axel understood where I was heading. “She has these theories; she thinks this might be a mistake, and I hadn’t actually been mated to Thane, or there is some kind of agreement, she also suspects that I blackmailed him into this.”“Blackmail?” Axel scoffed. “You don’t have to worry. I bet she is hoping this is an agreement too.”.There was a knock on the door.“I’m not expecting anyone,” I said to Axel.“That must be the maid. It’s lunch time.....Thane should be back by now, and I was getting worried. A

No matter how I struggled, I couldn't win and I knew it, I just couldn’t outsmart ten of them.“Help!, somebody help!..” I screamed out of desperation, hoping someone would hear me.I felt a hand around my mouth, muffling my screams. "You speak again, and I promise you that will be the last time you ever speak," the man with his hands around my mouth warned. I also noticed the wickedly sharp dagger in his hands. I felt the panic rising. Could this be my end?He slowly withdrew his hand from my mouth and took off his hood. I didn't know many people here, but I recognized him almost instantly. He was one of the men Beatrix had fought on the training grounds."She's supposed to be an omega," the man said to the other cloaked figure standing to the side, the only one who hadn't bothered holding me down or participating in this."She had been marked by him; that should be the reason," he says, and I did not understand a single word of what they were saying. All I could think about was how

The mist disappeared, giving way to a completely different location. Daemon’s hand steadied me.“Are you alright?” he asked. I could only nod. Our ‘travel’ had been one of the strangest experiences I had ever encountered.“Where are we?” I asked, scanning the unfamiliar surroundings.“In a museum.”I glanced around, noting the towering dinosaur skeleton, the paintings, and the sculptures. The more I observed, the more I appreciated the beauty of each piece. This museum was unlike anything I had ever seen, it fascinated me.“That painting… it’s so beautiful,” I said to Daemon.“Yes, it is,” he agreed. Daemon had his hands shoved in his pockets, standing still while I moved around, gushing over the beautiful artifacts. “Humans have this obsession with preserving things from the past.”I paused.“Humans?” I repeated. He nodded.“If you haven’t noticed, we’ve traveled far from home.” He took my hands in his and led me to the door. A guard sat in a small booth, his posture relaxed—until h

ALIYA’S POVDaemon had kept his distance, reminding me once again of the times back at the castle when he would withdraw into himself. He had a lot on his mind, none of which he was willing to share with me.I didn’t miss the fact that he seemed to enjoy my company, even though he never made a move on me—and I wasn’t sure how that made me feel. As the days went by, I found myself settling into this ‘new life.’ It didn’t seem so… bad, now that I knew Daemon wasn’t about to end my life anytime soon. But there was still one problem—Tasha.It didn’t take a genius to see that she was jealous. Daemon fed from her, but beyond that, she was just another person living in his house. He never seemed to look at her twice, despite her efforts. The twins were nicer, but they mostly kept to themselves. Tasha had no interest in making friends with them—or with me, for that matter.Today, something changed.Lying on the bed in Daemon's room, I felt trapped. It shouldn’t have bothered me—I had lived my

"Is there anything else I should be aware of?" I questioned my advisors. Once again, they seemed to be holding something back—I could tell."We worry about what will happen when the news reaches the other packs," Austin says, giving me a look that suggests I read between the lines and figure out what he isn't saying. When he realizes I’m not catching on, he speaks up. "There has never been a female Alpha before. There will be a lot of opinions—especially with you being the… Alpha Queen. The others might not accept this change,"“We should be ready for anything. The other packs might see this change as a sign of weakness and think it’s the best time to attack. The Nightshade pack might have been enjoying peace for years, but it would be foolish to think that that would continue.”“When they attack, we will be ready, we will go to war and I will take the front lines and prove to them how wrong they are.”Phil nodded, and with that, I dismissed them.As I stepped out of the meeting room,

Austin helped me back to the pack house. I was filthy, covered in mud—but I didn’t care.“Gather the council of advisors.” I instructed him.“Now?” he asked, surprised. “You should rest, Luna. You are in no condition…”“I gave you an order.” I said and that seemed to surprise him too, he nodded before turning away.I stripped off my filthy clothes, took a quick bath, and stepped into another leather outfit—identical to the one before. My hair, still damp, was twisted into a bun before I headed to the meeting room.I had expected to be bombarded with questions from the advisors; I had expected some of them with frowns on their faces. I was ready to take all the disappointed looks casted at me, but what I wasn’t ready for was to find all the seats unoccupied—all except two.Austin and Phil.“Where are the others?” I questioned.“Erh… Luna, I really don’t think this is the right time…”I cut Austin off for the second time. “Where are the others?” I repeated.“They left.”“What do you mea

The bond was gone, leaving a void in my chest. But what I felt for him didn’t change. Despite the fact that we were no longer mates, I still loved him. I was right—what we had was beyond the mate bond.I had given up far too quickly, I realized. I wasn’t willing to let him go just yet.The crowd was gone by the time I returned to the healing room. I stood by the door of the room where Alexander had been kept, contemplating what to say. I could apologize again, but something told me it wouldn’t be enough. He believed I could ‘move on,’ but he needed to see that I never would—that I could never love another. My heart belonged to him, mate bond or not. Nothing had changed. And maybe, if he saw that, he would change his mind.Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door. No response. I lifted my hand to try again when the door creaked open.I pushed it fully open—only to find the bed empty.His scent in the room was still strong, enough to tell me he hadn’t been gone for long. I walked int

The disappointment in his voice was even harder to bear than the betrayal I had suffered from people I once called friends."I should have told you, but I knew you would’ve kept assuring me you were fine—even when we both knew you were dying inside. She said you were going to die, whether you stopped or continued with the doses. I just… couldn’t lose you.""Who is this ‘she’ you are referring to?” he asked, and I immediately realized my slip."I… it doesn’t matter. You’re alive, and that’s what’s important."Slowly, he let go of me, and I instantly missed his warmth. “How does it feel?”“What?”“To be so close to achieving your dreams?” he asked. I wanted to tell him I didn’t care anymore about the goddamn title; all I wanted was to have him by my side. I wanted him, but before I could tell him just that, he spoke on. “I hope it was worth it.”Those final words had felt like some kind of goodbye.“I, Ethan Alexander Darkwood, reject you, Kaida Dawn, as my fated mate.” He said.Seeing

There was something different about the way he looked at me—the way he regarded me. I saw it in the way his body tensed the moment I stepped inside. He saw me as a threat, and it took a moment to understand why. Cynthia had taken my form when she approached him, making him believe it was me. The moment his guard dropped, she struck.But what he remembered was me stabbing him—my face, my hands, delivering the blow.“Alexander,” I whispered, unable to say anything more. He only stared at me, as if trying to read me. I had wanted to see him so badly, but I hadn’t stopped for even a moment to think about what I would say to him when we met.“The Cursed Weapon—how did you find it?” he asked.“I don’t understand.”“The dagger you used on me.”The cursed weapon, I’ve heard about that too. History says the Elders had been the original keepers of the steel; that had been before they were killed. The weapon had the ability to take away one’s wolf. It made more sense now, what Cynthia was saying

It felt surreal—the blood on the sheets, the body—Alexander. I couldn’t process any of it.“No!” I cried.Foolish, foolish girl.I held him. “You can’t die, please, you can’t die. I’m here, look at me, open your eyes, dammit!”I had never felt this afraid, not even when I received news that my father had passed.Soon, I heard footsteps approaching—the door was still open. They were coming to find the source of the noise. I hadn’t even realized how loudly I had been screaming.“I didn’t mean to… She said she wouldn’t kill him.”More people gathered, and soon, our room was crowded, every face frozen in shock.A hand pressed against my back—Phil. He was saying something, but I couldn’t understand him. Austin was there too, along with some of the other advisors.A woman stepped forward.“I have to take him, Luna.”I let out a snarl. “Don’t touch him… No one touches him!”There must have been something in my voice because she stepped back immediately—so did some of the other pack members.

“There must be another way to cure him.” I insisted."There is no other way. It’s either this or he dies. We don’t have much time. If you refuse my offer, I won’t be generous enough to grant it a second time. You will have to watch him die—knowing you had the power to save him, but you refused."I held back the sob, threatening to escape my lips. They would not see me cry, especially not the woman who killed my parents.“You want a puppet; someone you can control.”“I only have one request from you, the very same one I had already mentioned. Other than that, I won’t make your decisions for you. You will rule.”“When you take away his wolf. What would he become?”"He won’t change; he will be the very same man," she said, a small smile curving on her lips. "And since I’m so generous, I’ll leave your Beta Aric, and Sarah with you to do as you wish. Punish them as you see fit."“No!” Sarah cried out, falling to her knees before the Empress. “I did as you asked of me. I did everything you
