Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty Seven
Thane needed some time to digest everything I had told him; I could understand that.After I had explained to him everything that happened, he walked to me and drew me in for a warm embrace, but the moment ended too quickly, and then he... left.I didn't assume that the fact that he knew the truth meant I was forgiven, but at least I was able to tell him everything and it was a huge relief, now it was all up to him.There was a knock on the door and I headed to answer it, letting Daisy, one of the head healers in."The result is out," she says, a bright smile on her face.After the dream I had about Axel, I felt like he had been trying to tell me something when he said, 'If you go through the sacrifice, it wouldn't just be your life you would be sacrificing.Call me paranoid, but I noticed how weak and tired I had been feeling recently. I blamed it on everything that had been going on, but after the discussion I had with Thane, I went straight to Daisy and told her I needed a pregnanc

I watched the soldiers as they paid tribute to one of their own, Axel. The pack members weren't the only ones present. Many from other packs came to honor Axel's burial, and despite how I had promised myself I wouldn't cry, I couldn't hold it in.I stared up at Thane, the sadness clear in his eyes, but never once did he shed a single tear."How do you do it?" I questioned him, "How could you be so strong even in a time like this?""If only you know how much I want even a few minutes of weakness, but look around you, everyone is mourning; in times like this we need to stand strong because it gives others hope." He said, and he was right.I spotted Alpha Zack, Alpha Cain, Alpha Pius, Alpha Trent, and Gabriel—the new Alpha of the Raven Clan pack. My mother had to stay behind to oversee the affairs of the Raven Clan.Nina, Axel's cousin's sister, who was rarely ever around was also present; her eyes swollen and red. I walked to her and stood by her side."He was a brave man." I said to he

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."This 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 breats 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 last.""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 are

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

Three days passed, and Daemon was mostly away from home. I didn’t know exactly where he went all the time, but I assumed it was more demon business. No matter how curious I was, I knew he wouldn’t tell me even if I asked.I could finally move around without assistance, so I decided to make the most of my day—even if there wasn’t much to keep me busy. I swept my hair into a loose bun before heading to the living room.I couldn’t believe I had forgotten about Tasha—the human girl who seemed to have an issue with me simply existing. She was seated on one of the couches, and I took the one opposite her.She looked up at me.“Sleeping beauty finally awakens from her long slumber. He really must be good if he had made you so sore you couldn’t walk for days.”My mouth fell open. How did she know?Then again, she had always been the prying type. I quickly recovered from my initial surprise.“It is none of your business, Tasha.”She scoffed. "I can't quite put my finger on it—I tried to figure

"You can open your eyes now," he assured me.But my eyes were squeezed shut, and I wasn’t sure I could open them even if I tried. It took a full minute before I finally managed to pry them open—and to my surprise, we were standing right in front of the familiar building, the one I now saw as home.“How…” I trailed off. I knew just how we got here. He ran.Daemon took me inside, straight up to his room, before placing me down on his bed. “Who were those people after you?”“My people.” He answered.“If they are your people, they shouldn’t be a threat, right?”He regarded me again. "The deal was for me to kill you—that was the agreement. But now, you're under my roof, and I can't go through with it. They feel betrayed, disappointed. And if given the chance, they wouldn’t hesitate to kill you."He took a strand of my silver hair between his fingers, his touch lingering. "I won’t let them hurt you," he promised.“Thank you,” I said.“For what?”"For letting me glimpse the human world, for

ALIYA’S POVI caught the tension in his eyes. He didn’t have to say a word—I could tell something was very wrong. Daemon was rarely unsettled, and if this was enough to shake him, it had to be serious."What is wrong?" I asked.His gaze, slightly unfocused, finally settled on me. After I had brought up his past lover and he had left—supposedly to get me ‘food,’ though I knew it was really to avoid the conversation—I hadn’t seen him for the next three hours. He could have easily called for room service, so I couldn’t help but wonder if ‘getting food’ should really take that long."We need to leave now.""What?"He said nothing more, simply dropping the clothes in front of me. They were new."What is going on, Daemon?""They're here," he said, his gaze locking onto mine. I was completely naked beneath the blanket; the clothes I had been wearing were in shreds. He took off the blanket slowly; a part of me still felt the need to hide my nudity from him, even if he had seen me naked more t

We were both in tears, but there was something about the way he looked—so vulnerable, so helpless, so pained. I couldn’t bear to watch; I looked away."I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but I’m so fucking sorry. I told her—I told her that no matter what, I would never hurt you, even if it meant choosing between my sister and you.My sister could be dead for all I knew. But every time I felt like I had already done too much wrong, I told myself—what was one more bad deed to add to the cart? Your father had been like a father to me—that’s how he so easily picked up on the fact that something was wrong. He tried to talk to me about it, and I felt so guilty. But you have to understand—one way or another, Cynthia would have killed him. She was never going to let him live."“That doesn’t make you any less of a murderer. That doesn’t make you any less of a criminal.You know, I had thought of all the things I could do to you—all the ways I could kill you slowly and painfully. But now that I’

Chaos erupted—people spoke over one another, everyone desperate to be heard."Enough," I snarled. “You bicker like children. I am not for one side or the other—this pack is one, and everyone will be treated equally. You’re right that I don’t deserve this position, but…” I paused, weighing my next words. “The Alpha will return” I assured them. Keith spat on the ground. "That's a lie, and you know it. You did something to him, and he's not coming back."I couldn’t hold it in anymore. “I did what I did to help him!” I hated the fact that I lost it, but I felt the need to let them know. “I love him, and I will never stop loving him.”“And yet here you are, taking his title and taking over his pack. You didn’t do this for love, but greed—greed for power. What you fail to realize is that you might claim the title as yours, but loyalty and respect are not passed down; they’re earned.” Keith finished; with one cold glance at me, he turned around and walked away. Many others followed.“You ca

KADIA’S POVThe whole pack had gathered before me—some drawn by curiosity, others eager to know what would happen next.I looked upon the faces of those I had to protect, their lives resting in my hands. One wrong decision, and they would all suffer. I couldn’t let that happen.Austin and Phil sat on either side of me, on the platform overlooking the pack members.After the incident with Sarah, her body had been disposed of. I supposed I should feel bad that she hadn’t been given a proper burial, but I couldn’t bring myself to. She was a traitor, and she had died a traitor. News of her betrayal had spread through the pack, giving people even more to gossip about. Aric deserved the same fate. I should have killed him—made his death slow and painful. I might have once considered Sarah a friend, but Aric… I had seen him as family. His betrayal cut the deepest, yet I couldn’t bring myself to expose his treachery—not until I heard everything he had to say. For now, he rotted in the cold, d

I awoke in bed, wrapped in a blanket—but beneath it, I was completely naked. Daemon lay beside me.“I’m sorry.” He said, “I lost control.”I recalled passing out and couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. “That wasn’t on you. It was my fault.”“Not really. You passed out from blood loss. I should have fed before, but I had never tasted any blood as sweet as yours,” he said.“That feels and sounds like a compliment.”A small smile played on his lips. “Now, everything else tastes like dirt.”“You’re always welcome to drink from me.”“No. I’m not putting you through that.”I reached for my neck, and the bruise from his fangs was almost completely gone. “How…?”“You don’t have to worry about that,” he said.I nodded, rising from the bed.“You shouldn’t…”I didn’t listen. The moment my feet touched the floor, my legs gave out. He caught me instantly and placed me back on the bed.“You are severely sore.” He said, and I could almost see the guilt in his eyes. Not many things made him feel guil

I stood there for a moment, watching him, aware of every inch between us.I stepped closer. "Daem—Trian, I..." The words wouldn’t come. I wasn’t sure if I was afraid of saying them or if I simply didn’t know how. So instead, I rose onto my tiptoes, reaching for him. But he was too tall, and my lips only grazed his jaw.I lingered, searching his face, hoping he would understand what I couldn’t say.“For a demon, you have a surprising amount of self-control.""Every moment with you pushes me closer to losing it.""Then why didn’t you? Why didn’t you make a move?""After what I did to you, I have no right to touch you."I watched his fangs as he spoke, then lifted my gaze to meet his. Once again, he knew exactly what I wanted. He bared his fangs, allowing me to touch them. Their tips were so sharp that with just a little more pressure, they could have easily pierced my finger. Like everything about him, his fangs were both beautiful and terrifying—they scared me just as much as they amaz

On our way out, more women stared. It was getting unnerving—I wanted to snap at them.I was tempted to show them he was mine by wrapping my arms around his torso, but I wasn’t sure he would like that. He had never been one for such close contact, so I kept my hands to myself. But as if he could read my mind, he wrapped his arm around me—possessively.I stared up at him in surprise."I’m on my best behavior, but if those guys don’t stop undressing you with their eyes, I might have to reconsider," he said. I followed his line of sight, and sure enough, about five guys stood there, watching me. The moment Daemon’s gaze fell on them, they quickly walked away.“You don’t seem to be noticing how almost every female in the building is checking you out.” I said, and his eyes met mine again, making me realize that he truly hadn’t noticed them. How was that even possible? Some had walked past him multiple times just to get a single look from him, I couldn’t help but feel a little sympathy for t
