Contractually Yours, Alpha Epilogue
SIX MONTHS LATERThane lifted me up from the bed, carrying me bridal style to the bathroom."You know I can walk on my own right?""You are pregnant Riley, you should be treated like a princess, so now stop arguing and let me take care of you."I let Thane bathe me, after that he wrapped a towel around me."I'll get your clothes." he said, walking to the dressing room, he returned with a grey shirt and a pair of his sweatpants."These are your clothes.""Well I don't think anything in there would fit, I need to get more clothes your size.""Are you calling me fat?""No." he said with a smile. "You are beautiful and those breasts keep getting deliciously bigger.""Thane!""What? I'm a guy, I can't help it."I got dressed and Thane returned me back to the bed. "I am enjoying this more than I should." I admitted."Then enjoy it while it lasts.""No work today?" I asked him."I've covered all the urgent business, now I can spend more time with you and my baby.""Thane... I wonder if you a

CHAPTER ONE "Hello... mother." The creature called. The mist gave way, forming legs. This 'man’ looked nothing like me; he was tall and slender, with short black hair; those blue eyes would have been the only thing we had in common but his was a darker shade of blue; thick lashes framed his eyes. I felt this growing sense of unease and I slowly backed away. “I am not your mother.” “You lie.” He states, seeing through my deception; the thing was that even if he looked nothing like me, there was this connection I felt just by staring at him. “As soon as I could, I came to you.” He says, and though he bears the form of a human, there is nothing human about him. “What did you do to the sorceress?” I questioned, still keeping my distance. “She trapped me, mother; I was all alone.” “You killed her.” I whispered. “No, I locked Jade far away, where no one can ever find her, just as she did to me.” Jade. Was that the sorceress name? He approached me, and I took yet ano

THANERegnux is the last person I should have promoted, considering he was new, but I had been watching him for a while now, and I could tell that he was a good observer; he knew so much about the pack, maybe a little too much.Now I wondered if I made the right decision."Alpha. I've been hearing whispers amongst the pack members," he said to me."When are they not gossiping?""No, this is a matter of importance.""Speak on then," I say, my eyes on the files. Riley was right when she said I should have picked another Beta; the work was getting... hectic, but I was yet to find the right person, and that could be because I was comparing every other person in line with Axel, and that just wouldn't work if I wanted to find someone."They speak about the Luna. Everyone had witnessed the sight...""Her wings, you mean?" I questioned; of course I knew everyone saw that; I just didn't expect the matter to be brought up after so many months. "Yes, her 'wings'. Many at first thought she was s

RILEYI lit up the last candle, and Thane arrived.Right on time.He paused at the door. "This looks very... romantic. I'm guessing an invitation to have sex?" "No silly. Our one-year adversary. Though the six-month contract period doesn't count."He smiled wide and for a moment I was lost in those beautiful amber eyes. "It feels a lot more than that," he says, and I nod in agreement."It does; it feels like I've been with you since... forever.""You prepared all these?" he asked, and I could see the amazement in his eyes.I didn't do much, Thane could have done better, even on a very short notice. All I could handle was some flowers, candles, and food and drinks for the both of us."Yes, I did, and before you tell me about how much I need rest, know that it wasn't too much hard work and..."He walked to me, lifting me up so my legs wrapped around his waist, and he kissed me. "It's beautiful, and I'm sorry I forgot.""It's alright, at least I didn't."He pulled out my seat, and I sat

ISABELLA’S POV For the next few days, I watched him. Thane never spoke a word to me, and I wonder if he had forgotten everything because I hadn’t. I didn't exactly lie to the Luna, but I wasn’t telling the truth either. I did remember a part of my life. A part where ‘He’ was my everything. SOME YEARS AGO... I had found an abandoned house, right in the middle of the woods. It was the perfect place. Here I wouldn’t be encroaching on any packlands; no one would ever be able to find me. I was a runaway wolf. I had left home one day and never returned; my parents might believe that I died; I didn’t think they would cry over my death. To them, I was already dead. I had an illness, one we all knew would kill me in the end, and maybe that’s why I ran away. I wanted to live life to the fullest with the little time I had left. I've always loved nature, so it was no shocker that I ended up in a house surrounded by trees and nature’s wildest animals. I wasn’t alone; no, I never really

THANE’S POVRiley wouldn’t exactly understand why I wanted the ‘new girl’ as far away as possible.How do I explain to her that the girl I had seen in the healing room was a complete replica of Bella? And turns out they have the same name, Isabella.Bella never told me her full name, but Isabella was close, too close.It felt like fate was playing some kind of game with me. I stood over the railing, taking a sip of vodka, and just then ‘Isabella’ walked in. Of course she was easy to spot; her red hair and bright features made her stand out.She said she forgot her memories; I believed she wasn’t being honest. I should go to her and ask her some questions, but it didn’t feel right to be anywhere close to her. I watched her from a distance though, noticing more similarities she had to Bella. Their walking steps were very alike.I had already talked to Regnux about keeping her far away from me; maybe she could be placed in other pack homes outside the main pack house; that would make muc

RILEYI replaced the flowers on Axel's grave. Just as I had been doing for the past months."You used to be someone I could always talk to." I began. Staring at his grave, his name had been engraved on the tombstone ‘Beta/Commander/Soldier —Axel Dean of the Nightshade’. "So much has happened since you've been gone. It turns out that Thane has been keeping some things away from me. It doesn't make me mad though. I know whatever he does, he does to protect me, but sometimes I wish he could see that I am a big girl and I can handle stuff." There was complete silence, still I spoke on."The baby is growing well; that's what the healers said, and I'm excited, but at the same time, very… scared I don't want to mess this up. Thinking about the baby had taken my mind off so many things, like who I really am. I discovered a while ago that my 'wings' might be having a little issue; they haven't healed up since the 'incident,' but I'll keep ignoring it; maybe it just takes time."I paused aga

The sorceress, Jade, had warned me, I was to keep it all a secret, but then my priority had been to keep Thane alive; I couldn't care less what anyone thought at that moment, and if time was taken back, I wouldn't have done things any differently, and yet I… worried.I walked into my room and shut the door before I noticed I wasn't alone.A man sat on my cushion; no, he was no stranger; he was my… son. The demon I birthed. His mouth was stained with blood.I stared at his almost surreal face; every inch of him had been designed to allure preys."Mother." He called. "I've missed you.""Who's blood is that?" I questioned."No one from this pack," he said, wiping it off. "I didn't want to kill them. I only wanted to make friends, but they were afraid of me, and so I had to.""You don't have to; you never have to kill people.""Then explain my lust for blood.""You can control it.""I can't; I tried, and I can't."I walked to him, cautiously taking a seat beside him. He stretched out his

The knock on the door cut our moment short.Normally, when a door’s locked, it’s a clear sign that the person inside doesn’t want visitors. But I guess the heads outside couldn’t take the hint.Kaida got back in her dress, and I helped adjust her hair.“How do I look?”“Beautiful.”“Thanks, but not that. Do I look like someone who just had sex?” She asked, and I shook my head.“No, you look fine.”Well, sometimes a little lie was necessary. Her hair, smudged lipstick, and rumpled clothes would surely give her out, but she didn’t need to know that.I pulled the door open to find two teenage girls with wide smiles—smiles that dropped the moment they saw us.Their eyes quickly raked over both of us, immediately figuring out what we'd been up to, and their cheeks flushed deep red."Sorry, we didn’t mean to interrupt. We came to pick up our rented dresses, but we can — just come back… later," one of them stammered, and they both hurried off without waiting for a reply."Hey?" Kaida called,

I found her jealousy amusing.“You’re jealous, aren’t you?”“Why wouldn’t I be? Sure, she might be a good person, but let’s not forget that you two used to have sex. I have every right to feel insecure, especially with the way she kept looking at you…” Kaida trailed off.I watched her, feeling unworthy. She had been faithful to me, even when we had broken things up, but I was stupid enough to think being with other women could take my mind off her.“I was apologizing for what I did to her earlier, and then she found her mate—she hesitated to go to him at first, but changed her mind in the end. That’s about it.”Kaida ran her hands through her thick black hair. “I feel like an insecure fool. I’m really sorry.”“You have nothing to apologize for.”She was staring at something, and I followed her gaze to Lara, who was kissing a dark-skinned guy. I figured that had to be her mate.“Wow. This mate ball turned out to be far more fun than I anticipated.” She said, I lingered on her expressi

I couldn’t take my eyes off her."Care for a dance?” I asked her and she nodded. It didn't seem like she enjoyed parties much.I took her hand and led her to the dance floor, aware of how people kept their distance. Seriously, what did they think? That I’d take their heads off just for bumping into me on the dance floor?This was getting ridiculous. But I couldn’t dwell on that thought any longer—Kaida was staring.“We match,” she said, motioning to my black tuxedo with its dark blue vest and tie. Maybe that wasn’t entirely a coincidence. “And you look really hot in that tuxedo, but then again, when do you not?” Her cheeks reddened. Kaida could be a badass fighter, but she wasn’t always as confident when it came to... well, other things.I stepped closer, letting her feel the subtle shift of my arousal. “Giving me compliments like that in public is dangerous.”She let out a breathy laugh, her cheeks still flushed. I saw the need flash in her eyes. I had been contemplating leaving wit

The dark blue dress would look beautiful on Kaida. That was the first thought on my mind when I saw it in the store. I knew I had to get it for her..Kaida was on the training field, she’d taken up Aric’s position. I believed it was another way to honor his memory. She trained the soldiers just as he had done… before everything went downhill. I had to admit, she was very good at it. Even the soldiers seemed to be enjoying the session with her."Your weight on this leg," she instructed, adjusting the soldier’s stance. I didn’t miss the way his gaze flickered to her ass for a split second before he quickly looked away, likely fearing he’d be caught staring. The possessive part of me wanted to pry out his eyes for even looking, then drag her into our room and fuck her all day long for looking so damn sexy.The longer I watched, the more something dark stirred inside me. She was too damn close to that guy, and those leathers—hell, they were so tight, her ass was practically on display. I

The Rogue leaders had waited. When the two days were over, I invited them into the meeting room.A maid brought over bottles of beer, and Edna was the first to take a deep gulp, the others following soon after. The maid excused herself.“Edna, Skale, Kev, Gal, and of course, Timothy. Welcome to the Nightshade Pack.”“I didn’t remember keeping you waiting this long when you paid us a visit.” Edna said to me."I’d hoped you’d get impatient enough to leave."Edna chuckled; it was silent and humorless. “Unfortunately, we’ve come to speak on an important matter.”“I assumed as much.”"We allowed a peace treaty with you once, and now we’ve come to discuss the terms.""I made you a promise, Edna. I told you that if you couldn’t keep the rogues under control, there would be war. This time, something tells me you were the brains behind the earlier attack.""Yes. I was. Like the rest, we believed you were gone, and we did what anyone would do—we attacked.""But I guess you were wrong.""Sorely.

ALEXANDER’S POVIt was almost unnerving how similar she had looked to Kaida. Her voice sounded so much like hers—I had hesitated, and in that moment of weakness, Cynthia escaped.It all made sense now. I could recall that incident. When Kaida had walked into the room, looking all seductive, I had given in so easily. And then—she ‘d lifted the dagger to my chest. I hadn’t realized it wasn’t her. For a fleeting moment, I had even thought the weapon was just another tease.But then she’d stabbed me, and too late I realized something different about her—something I hadn’t picked up on earlier. Her eyes. They were different, not because they weren’t the same grey I knew, but because it felt like they belonged to a stranger, not the woman I had known and fallen for.Kaida had taken the blame, but of course, she could never have done such a thing. She’d never have gone through with it, and I couldn’t believe I was just realizing that now."It’s not your fault. Cynthia excels at those kinds o

"I know the truth," I said to Julia, finally speaking up.“What truth? Don’t tell me you still fall for his falsehoods—you should have learned your lessons by now.”"He tried to protect me. He kept me safe. That’s more than you’ve ever done?"“Protect you—you really think you are safe here with him?”“Safer than I ever was back in the castle.”“I taught you better than this, Aliya. I taught you about bad people who would want to taint you, but you were always the curious type; I should have known.” She said, I didn’t miss the fact that she addressed me by my name."I remember everything you taught me, Julia. Thanks to you, I know more languages than I’ll ever have the chance to use in my lifetime. You spoke endlessly about good and evil—you painted yourselves as saints, but you all are far from that. I know the truth now. Your plan was to sacrifice me. That encounter—all of it—was a lie. I was nothing but a vessel to you.""And do you think you mean anything to him?" she asked, her g

My thoughts drifted to Ash. Could he have been stupid enough to come back here with Daemon present?Something told me Daemon wouldn’t be pleased about me seeing him behind his back.A small sense of relief washed over me when I realized the footsteps approaching weren’t from a man. There was something feminine, something familiar about them.It was Empress Julia.Of course, I would recognize the sound of her footsteps; I had spent over a decade of my life listening to them.Daemon seemed genuinely surprised. “How did you find this place?” he asked."I can't say. You see, it's a small secret, Trian—I guess that's the name you stole."Daemon’s eyes drifted from her face to the object she held in her hand: the Nexus Amulet. She had somehow gotten it out of the transparent glass container—perhaps that explained the noise that had alerted us we weren’t alone."Give it to me," Daemon all but growled."Tsk, tsk. Not so fast."Daemon looked like he was about to lunge for her."You won’t get t

I shouldn’t be thinking about Ash’s words, but I was. No matter how many times I tried to shove them out of my mind, they always found their way back."Dinner is served. Come eat," Daemon announced. Staring at him, I could almost forget that he was a demon; he just seemed so… human. But when you looked deeper into those dark blue eyes, that’s when you noticed something off—something that screamed predator.“I’m not hungry.”“That’s a lie. Come with me,” he said. I might be hungry, but I was in no mood to eat, yet I followed him. He had already dished out the food for me and, as usual, none for himself.“Thank you.” I muttered, taking a seat. The smoky scent of spiced grilled meat filled the air. On any other day, it would be enough to make my mouth water and my stomach rumble, but this time, I could barely force myself to eat more than a few small pieces.“Aliyah,” Daemon called, and I looked up at him. “I can make something else if you don’t like this.”“It’s not that. I’m just not h
