Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Two Hundred and Forty Four
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

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

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 o

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

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

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

EARLIERBailey was still in here somewhere. I walked cautiously down the passage ways and I spotted yet another room. I pushed open the door and walked in. The room was similar to the one I had been kept in earlier, but she wasn't in here either.I needed a weapon; the sword alone wouldn't do to kill an elder as powerful as she was so I searched through the room. I pulled open a cabinet, and there I found more syringes filled with black serum, the very same ones used on Thane. I was almost certain of it. I would have to take a gamble with this. From what Bailey told me, this was created by the elders as a bane for Lycans, I could only hope it had some effect on her too, if it didn't work on her, then I was doomed.I strode out of the room, and there she was, standing at the very end of the passageway."So you've come to kill me." Bailey said with a smile on her face. "You know, Nyaos has been killed by your mate" She said to me.I couldn't exactly say I felt bad for that.I chose to r

A rock fell inches away from me, and I only managed to dodge it. Axel was losing a lot of blood. I knew what was about to happen, but I didn't want to think about it. It just couldn't."Riley, please listen to me." he said, and I turned to him; sweat coated his face and his breathing was laboured. "I can't make it, Riley. You know that, but if you go, you can save yourself and save Thane.""Please, Axel, we can make it alive, the both of us.""Look at me, Riley," he pleaded, and I did. "Kiss me."Tears rolled down my eyes as I leaned to him and kissed him. I wouldn't let him go; I just can't. "I love you, from the very first time I met..." he took a long breath. "But you were never mine, and yet that didn't stop me from wanting you. Don't blame yourself for this; you, Riley, were the best thing that had ever happened to me.""But Thane... he hates me.""No, he doesn't; reason with him; make him... make him understand." Axel coughed out blood. "Go now, get him, and leave this place.""

The first thing I noticed when I awoke was the empty bed—Kaida was not by my side.So many times, I had spent my nights with women and left before they even woke; I had never once thought about how painful it was for them until now.Kaida wasn’t in our apartment either.The second thing I noticed was that it was already well past noon.I had been sleeping for hours—that was unlike me. I was never a deep sleeper; even the smallest noises were enough to wake me. The real question was, how had she managed to leave without me noticing? And how the hell did I sleep until noon?I rose from bed, putting on a new pair of pants and an ash grey shirt, and I walked out of my room.She was not in the training grounds either. There was only one person that would know where exactly she was. I stopped by Aric's room and knocked. There was no response.Well, I tried.I forced the door open, breaking the lock. I didn’t care that I was invading his privacy—I didn’t care what I had to invade to find her

I could tell she wasn’t sleeping—something was on her mind."You asked me once if I believed in you," she began, and I turned to her."I remember that," I said. I could never forget her words: 'I will always believe in you—even when others don’t, even when you don’t believe in yourself,' she had said.“Now I want you to do something for me; it might be too much to ask.”“What is it?” I questioned, there was only little I wouldn’t do for her, if only she knew that."I want you to believe in me too. I want you to trust that I’ll make the right decisions." I stared at her, wondering what she wasn’t telling me, before I could question her; she spoke on, perhaps to change the topic. “How did the meeting with your grandparents go?”“I spent half the time contemplating if I made the right decision inviting them in. Sebastian had a lot to say; he believes my ‘ability’ is somehow tied to my stepbrother, Daemon.” I paused, realizing Kaida might not know much about my stepbrother.“I know Daemo

I returned to my private chambers. I wanted to see Kaida so badly; she only could take away the tension I felt.The moment I walked in, I spotted her; she stood completely naked, her back, or rather, her ass, to me. I felt myself harden instantly. All I wanted to do was bend her over and sink my cock deep into her warmth; I yearned for her, and damn, was she my darkest obsession.She turned immediately when she heard my footsteps.“You’re back.” She said with a smile, looking slightly nervous.“You’re naked.” I pointed out.“Yes, I am. Would you prefer me fully clothed?” She asked innocently, but there was nothing innocent about this girl, named Kaida.She walked to me, swaying her hips; I watched her breasts bounce with every stride she took. gods, she was going to be the death of me. All the tension I felt disappeared, and all I could think about was her. She had that power over me. I felt my wolf pushing at my boundaries; he wanted a taste of her too.She stopped right before me, a

ALEXANDER POV**PRESENT**“Thanks for coming.” I said to Sebastian who had his arms wrapped around Kate’s waist.They hadn’t been hard to find—maybe because they wanted to be found.“It is my pleasure; I am glad you reconsidered.” Sebastian responded.“I am glad to see you once again, Ethan.” Kate said. She didn’t seem to notice her slip; she had called me by the very name I abhorred. Acting had never been difficult for me; in fact, it had become second nature. But for some reason, around these two, keeping my emotions in check felt like a struggle. Still, I had made a promise to get through this, and I intended to keep it.“Welcome to the Nightshade pack.” I said, forcing on a smile that didn’t feel at all welcoming.I led them into the pack house and straight to the meeting room.“An apartment will be assigned to you—stay as long as you need," I said. Just as long as you keep out of my way and I don’t have to see you.“Son…” Sebastian began, but he must have seen something in my ey

It had never gone this far before. This was the first time she had nearly drained me dry, and I knew it would not be the last.I awoke in the healing room; my vision blurred, but I could faintly make out my father’s figure standing beside me.“Where is she?”“She is in her room.” he answered.I felt a slight fear—not for myself, but for her. Something was about to go terribly wrong. And I was right.She didn’t visit, not even after I was discharged from the healers. The scar on my arms was another addition to the others, but I really didn’t care about the scars; if anyone asked, I usually came up with some crap story about how I had been bitten by a wild animal.After a whole month of not getting even a glimpse of my mother’s face, I went to visit her. I knocked on the door to her apartment, but there was no response. The bad feeling that had been growing stronger since I woke up in the healing room was even worse now. Stepping back, I broke down the door.I walked into her apartment

ALEXANDER POV**NINE YEARS AGO**My mother, Riley, stared at me from a distance. I could see the longing in her eyes—the need to be close to her son. I saw her almost every single day—except for the times she locked herself away in her room, and yet, there seemed to be this distance between us; we could never have a normal mother-to-son relationship. I knew that. The bruise on my neck still stung, a wound inflicted by her—but I knew she hadn’t been in her right mind. I could tell the moment the switch flipped and her demon took control. I was strong enough to fight her now, but I’d rather die than hurt my own mother. The pain from each bite was bearable, but the thought of raising a hand against the woman who gave me life—that, I couldn’t endure.I waved awkwardly at her, and she smiled, teary-eyed.I walked towards her; her eyes widened in panic, and she turned around returning to her room, fleeing down the passageways, but I followed after her, and before she could shut the door on

“Don’t be afraid; you’ve come to confess your sins and plead for mercy from the god of light; you have nothing to fear.” Julia said to me, and I nodded, but my eyes remained on the ground.High Regent Gregold rose to his feet and walked to my side.“Together, we are gathered here with the god of light’s Chosen; she has made a mistake and is here to atone for her mistakes.”“Go on.” Julia encouraged, and I finally looked up.“I had disgraced myself, this house, and everything sacred. I had brought shame and reproach; all the while I thought I was right; I thought I was missing something, but I was wrong. Everything I had ever needed was in here, but I failed to see it. I had been blinded by my own selfishness. Empress Julia helped me see my mistakes and…” I broke down, sobbing. Crying wasn’t a hard task for me; it was easy to let a few tears slide down my cheeks. “I feel so ashamed of myself; I was weak. I do not deserve the god of light’s mercy, but I plead for it. I promise to never

So many questions clouded my mind—questions about Trian. I always thought he was mysterious, but perhaps I underexaggerated it all. He left me with so many unanswered questions. How had he escaped the Pit? How had he gotten into my room? And how in the hell did he disappear into thin air?He had asked if I trusted him. I did—more than anyone in my life, though there weren’t many to begin with. He said he would come back for me; he also told me what I would have to do. I didn’t know his plans, but I had no choice but to trust him blindly.Two days passed. I knew Julia would be visiting anytime from now, but this time I was ready.The door was pulled open, and she walked in with the biggest smile on her face and a tray of food in her hands. I wasn’t very hungry; two days without food was no big deal to me, and Trian had made sure I was well fed. I knew what I had to do.“I brought you some food. But as I have told you before, it all comes with a price.” She said, “It’s just one simple t

“How did you get out of there? It’s impossible…”He placed a finger over my lips. “No questions; I can’t answer them now.” He said and then rose to his feet.“Where are you going?”He picked up the tray of food; I hadn’t even noticed it, even if the scent filled the room; all my attention had been on him. My mouth watered instantly. “You remember the first time I snuck in some food for you?” he asked.“I’ll never forget.”He passed me the tray, and I accepted it with shaky hands. I emptied the bottle of water before emptying the plate of food. When I was done, I looked up to see he was watching me.His eyes trailed down my body, taking in the bruises, and I couldn’t help but try to hide them. I looked my worst, and I wonder if it irritated him.“Sorry I wasn’t here to protect you from that.” He said it, and I knew what he was referring to.“I deserve it.”“No, you don’t,” he said, taking a seat beside me on the bed. “If there’s a way to get you out of here, forever, would you take it?
