Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Two Hundred and Fifteen
THANE."Alpha Trent, it is nice to meet you again." I say with a smile that I hoped looked welcoming enough. Usually I don't really bother with all the acts, but now... now I needed support. Most of the packs hated me. They believed in this crap about the 'new era'; it was only a matter of time before they chose to gang up against this pack —something I plan on avoiding, and if this 'act' would help, then I would go on with it."I came as soon as you called. See, I know the attacks aren't from this pack.""One person who finally has some common sense." He chuckled at that. I poured him a glass of wine, passing it to him."We are neighboring packs. If your soldiers had left for war, they would be spotted, and so I know those soldiers aren't from this pack. But I believe many know that too.""They do?" I asked, as if I didn't already know that."Yes, but clearly they see a way to unseat you from the throne, and so they are willing to do anything. Though there are others who believe str

"Pricilla Why are you here?" I asked her."You know why I am here; I just need... your support.""My support? Do you mean money?""I know you might hate me for everything I've done to Axel, but please, I really need your help.""It's not just a possibility, I do hate you. I wonder why you always come to me for financial aid when you could just ask your son/lover Adrain for help. I heard he's now a person of importance over there, the pack should be able to lend him a helping hand, right?""The pack is facing major issues." As always."Meaning they are going broke?""You can call it that; we really need your support.""Too bad, the only person who could help you this time is your son Axel — my beta, so you should go meet him.""No. Axel cannot know about my visits.""Don't worry, I've kept that away from him, simply because you are too much of a disgrace for him to feel bad over.""Please, Alpha. I really need this; I promise this will be the last time."She said that the first time,

This had been what I was trying to avoid when I kept his mother's visit from him— Of course it hadn't been because she nicely requested. I knew Axel would be heartbroken at the fact she visited and yet wanted nothing to do with her own son. For some reason I just can't understand why he still cared about the bitch."I'll inform the patrollers to never let her in; she is no longer a part of this pack." I assured him."You know what confuses me the most?" Axel questioned. "That she had been visiting all these years, and you never told me anything about it. I thought we were closer than that.""Don't throw that at me. I was trying to protect you; the woman didn't want anything to do with you.""And yet, you could have told me, just so I would know she is still alive and breathing.""You were worried about her?""I was worried the previous attacks on their pack claimed her life, but I wasn't willing to go find out if she survived, not after the previous confrontation.""Axel, why do you e

RILEYI had never seen Pricilla, Axel's mother. I was pretty sure I hated her, but Axel still cared about this lunatic.I knocked once at his door; there was no response. The door was unlocked, so I pushed the door open and walked in.Axel was shirtless, A bottle of whiskey in his hands and many other empty ones on the table. His eyes were red; he was drunk.I grabbed the bottle from his hands."I didn't recall letting you in," he says with a small frown."Well, I let myself in.""Riley, I think you should leave. I don't want you to see me like this." He says, pulling another bottle from the fridge."Please stop drinking." I pleaded."She hates me, Riley, and I don't even understand what I did so wrong; I was my father's favorite, so what?, how is that my fault, and all these years, she just keeps on punishing me for that.""She has no right to, not after what she did. Axel, she isn't worth this." I say taking the other bottle from his hand and placing it back in the fridge."I'm sorr

On returning back to our room, the first thing I noticed was that the room was completely empty. His scent was a bit faint, and that could only mean one thing.He didn't sleep here.It was too early in the morning for him to be at work, still, his office was the next place I headed to, and just as I had expected, he wasn't there either."Riley." The familiar voice called from behind me.It was Axel."Where is Thane?" Axel questioned."I don't know... I can't find him in our room; I don't know where he might be." "Riley, there is no need to panic; he is not in any form of danger; I can feel it.""Why do I feel like he isn't even in the pack house?" I questioned."Because he isn't."Axel led me back into his room, shutting the door behind us. "Shouldn't he have told you if he was leaving?" I questioned."Yes, except he didn't want me to know. He will be back soon.""How do you know that?""You've got any idea where he might be?" "No, I don't""Then all you can do is wait. He is fine."

.If I wanted Axel to go in search for Thane, then I would have to do my part, I would have to take charge of the pack. That shouldn't be so hard considering I had done something slightly similar, though the difference is that back then I managed a team of ten soldiers, but now, there would be even more people.In times like this, I had to remind myself that I was no longer the little scared wolf, I was stronger now. That brings me back to the subject of ‘Bailey’. I hadn't seen her in the last few days since Thane's disappearance. Of course I hadn't forgotten her threat, she was hiding something then and what if she was involved in all these?What if she had Thane and had somehow managed to keep us from finding out?"Have you seen Bailey lately?" I questioned."No I haven't ; why did you ask?" Axel questioned."I don't know..." I paused, "Forget it.""If you know something, tell me, Riley."All I knew was that Beatrix was now 'free' and that they were both talking about getting ‘somet

The bruise had all healed up, but still, I couldn't help but worry if he was completely fine."Are you okay?" I questioned, and he nodded. I was going to get angry at him for risking his life later, for now I was just happy he was back. "I always knew something was up with Bailey." I said to myself."Is there any news about the pack I should be aware of?" Thane questioned, but Axel shook his head."Nothing new."He was clearly still mad, and I could understand that. They were close—closer than brothers, if I might say."Come on, Axel, I know..." "You don't know anything," Axel said, cutting him off. "You're keeping secrets, and I don't appreciate it. As your beta, I'm here to support you. But keeping me in the dark, like with my mother and now this ‘master’ plan? That's not our way.”"I apologize." Thane said, the smirk on his lips contradicted his words. "But I need to hear what Riley has to say about this.""What do I have to say?" "You know something; you kept it from me, so I am

Thane's hand unconsciously tightened around mine in a gentle, reassuring grasp."You want to know the truth? then here it is." Bailey started, her voice laced with venom as she settled on the cold floor. "You tricked me, Thane Blackwood. You took me for a fool. We made a deal, a deal you weren't willing to keep. I betrayed my people for you, and what did I get in the end?Nothing.I was pathetic to have trusted you, but it took only a while for the doubt to set in. I saw the way you looked at her; you were never going to let her go. Still, I had no other choice but to hold on to your words. Just as I had suspected, you didn't keep to it. When I discovered Nyaos was alive, I knew I had to kill him; if I didn't kill him, then he would find me, and he would kill me very slowly for what I had done.But then I found out Caleb too was alive. I wasn't expecting to see him ever again, but there he was. I was trapped and tortured in ways you cannot even imagine. Give me more reason not to see

Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Ten
ALEXANDER'S POVKaida Dawn was different.She was different from any other woman I had ever had in my bed.I had discovered she was my mate four years ago, but unlike many other werewolves, the thought of having mates never did intrigue me. I didn’t want to be loyal to anyone; I didn’t want a family, and that’s why I stayed away.And then Alpha Trent Dawn had come to me with his proposal. He was one of the few people in my good books; I knew what he had done for this pack, and I was aware that we owed him a favor. But I did find it strange; He had a Beta, going by the name Aric. Since he had no male children, the Beta could've taken over, and Kaida could've mated him instead. But for some reason… he didn’t hand the pack to his Beta.I had spotted her the moment she walked into the feast. How couldn’t I? Her scent was all over the place. My wolf inside didn’t like the Beta being so close to her, or the fact that they had slept in the very same room, but I reined him in. What happened b
Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Nine
I’d heard other she-wolves talk about how it felt when they met their mates. The scent, the pull—I felt it all.“Do you feel it?” I asked him, and a small smirk spread on his face.“Feel what?” he asked. “The mate bond?”“You knew.” My tone was accusing.“I’ve known for a very long time now, Kaida. Even before I agreed to your father’s proposal.”“How long ago did you know?”“Your father and his beta made constant visits to this pack; your scent was all over them.”“And yet you made no move, why?”“I don’t say this to offend you, but you aren’t exactly my type.”“Oh, I know. I guess brunettes are your type, and maybe you'd have preferred a girl who would fall on her knees and worship the very ground you walk upon, a girl who would obey every single word you utter without questions.”“I would have liked that, but that wasn’t what I was referring to. You see only a few girls shut the doors to love and choose the parts of becoming ‘warriors’. Of course, most times there were reasons beh

It had taken every ounce of willpower in me to return here.But if I was going to be his Luna, then the rules would have to change; I didn’t care who the hell he was.The soldiers escorted me to his chambers. He wasn’t alone. There were about a dozen men seated there, many of whom were middle-aged; they should be the ones people refer to as the king's 'advisors.’Alpha Ethan’s eyes settled on me.The scent was even stronger now, but I was going to rein in my wolf; I was in control, not her, and it's time she knew that. I had expected to see a smirk on his face; after all, he won. I was here because I had no other options, but his face remained unreadable, and maybe that’s one of the many things I found unsettling about him. I couldn’t read his emotions, and I was very good at that. I didn’t like surprises, but the man seated before me had a bottle filled with surprises, waiting and ready for me.“Leave, every one of you.” He ordered, and all the men rose and walked away, leaving me a
Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Seven
My father had told me countless times the story of when I was just a child, and he thought he was going to lose me, he had done everything in his power but it all failed and then he discovered the ‘healer’s lilies’, it healed me. Words could never fully capture what it feels like to stand on the edge of losing a loved one.I didn’t miss my mother much—I never had the chance to know her. She died giving birth to me. All that was left of her were only her pictures. Alpha Trent was a strong man; not many Alphas carry on after the loss of their mates, and yet he did.Now, the very same man I once believed was invincible, laid on his deathbed. I held in the tears because they were of no use. Crying never changes anything.“Kaida, I want you to know that I love you so very much. I know you will take care of this pack, even in my absence.”“I will.” I promised.“You met with the Alpha… I know he might seem…”I cut him off. “He is my mate.”“That… is very convenient.” He said with a small smi

That was it.I was done.Aric had been waiting for me, and as soon as he saw me, he quickly took off his suit and wrapped it around me. I felt like a fool.The moment we were both in the room and alone, he finally spoke up.“What happened?”"There’s not much to explain; it’s all right here," I say, gesturing to my torn clothes.“If he laid a finger on you, I’ll—”“You will what? He is the Alpha King; he is also very strong, and so there isn’t much any of us could do to him.”“Where are you going?”“Packing my stuff and leaving.” “What are you going to say to your father?” he asked.“I wanted to do this—for him, for the pack, but I can’t. The man is a monster; I cannot imagine sharing the same bed with him and his many… whores.I stuffed my things into the bag. I hadn’t brought a lot of things, and so in a few minutes I was packed.“Kaida, I don’t think you should leave now.” Aric says.“Why shouldn’t I?”“At least wait till the feast is over.”“Well, to hell with the etiquette and mo

Despite all the warning bells ringing in my head, I walked in and took a seat, just as he had requested of me. I didn’t know many things about this man, but one thing I knew for sure was that he was used to having his command being obeyed.“A drink?” he offered. Pouring me a glass of whiskey.“From where I come from, a girl does not drink.”“This is your home now; soon the Dawn pack will be no more, so get used to it.” He says, passing me the glass, I took it, but I didn’t drink.“You know, it is wrong to refuse a drink from the King.”“I do not drink, and if I will, it won’t be because you told me to.” I said, placing the glass down on the table.Those ruthless eyes pinned me down once more; I felt for my dagger once more.“I’ve heard a thing or two about you. The girl who aspired for greatness, you fought your way into that; you’ve gone to battles and never failed a mission. I admire that, but in this pack, you are just another girl; all you’ve built, everything dies with your pack.

“My mate, he is here.”“What?” Aric questioned. “How is that even possible?” “I don’t know, but he is here, I can feel it.”Just then, complete silence fell; all chatter ceased as The Alpha King rose to his feet. He was huge, clearly above six feet; he had sea blue eyes and brown hair, which he cut short into a buzz cut. His features were sharp, and maybe my father was right about one thing—the man before me didn’t look twenty-two years of age; he was no child; he was an Alpha in every sense of the word. The scent I had been perceiving, the one that made my heart pound, it was him.Fear was not something I had felt in years; I always liked to think of myself as fearless, but for the first time in a very long while, I was afraid. I was afraid of a man, the very man standing right before me.“He is my mate.” I whispered.“Who?” Aric asked.“The Alpha King.” I whispered back.As if he heard me, the Alpha King's eyes met mine. I wonder if he was feeling the same thing I felt; that was h
Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Three
The room was just as elegant as everything in the Nightshade pack; it was bigger than my room back in the Dawn Pack. I spotted the dress on the bed. A flimsy thing. If it had been any other day, I would've been attending the Grand Feast in my leather pants and jacket—I hated parties and public gatherings, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t invited to a few back at my pack. I was the Alpha’s daughter; it was required of me. My father tried to force me into dresses more than once, but of course, I never did wear them. It was different now; this was not my pack, and here I was a stranger. Wearing my ‘usual’ clothing would only make me stick out in the crowd.I didn’t want that, but that didn’t mean I would wear the dress he had picked out for me. “It will be amusing to see you in a dress.” Aric said, a smirk playing on his lips.“I’ll be in a dress alright, but just not this one.”“Rebellious as always, let’s hope the Alpha King doesn’t notice.” He said with a smile.“I really don’t give a d

It was time, I would have to pay a visit to the Nightshade pack. Beta Aric was nowhere to be found.I stopped in the courtroom to inform my father that I was leaving, but I noticed he wasn’t alone, Aric was there too. I stopped by the entrance, they hadn’t noticed me and so I hid away from view.“You are marrying her to the Alpha King?” Aric asked, this was indeed the first time I had heard him question the Alpha.“Yes, my daughter will marry the Alpha King.”“You know that’s not where she belongs.”“I will be having no discussion over this matter, it is already settled and done.”“You know who he is…”My father cut Aric off. “He is ruthless, every powerful Alpha is, fear is sometimes power.”“The Blackwood lineage is a powerful one, but it’s cursed – that’s what I think. How else would you explain the mysterious deaths? Slade had been killed by his own son, Thane who wanted the throne – there had been other rumours too, that Freya, his mate, had actually been the one behind his deat
