Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty
.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

Axel had been right about Thane's intentions. “Yes. I did know it would come to that,” he answered simply. “I am starving; it was a long journey; please dine with me, Riley.”I took a seat beside him. “The fact that you are okay with this never ceases to surprise me.”“Riley, I am not okay with it, but I know what you want, and I know you want both of us. I won’t let you choose; it would be too hard a decision for you to make.”“Well then, that makes me the selfish one.”“I don’t deserve you, Riley. Axel is the better man, and you want to know why I would never make you choose?" He questioned.“Why?”“Because I am insecure, what if you choose to be with him? He would have never hurt you like I did.” Thane says, and I was surprised at his words. He felt insecure; that was a first. He was right about it being hard to choose, but I knew who I would choose if it came to that, and I hated myself for knowing that and still holding on to Axel.“You had a reason; you let me go because you th

I recalled the strange dream I had, where a familiar voice kept on calling out my name, pleading for my help. Why did it feel like it had something to do with these bruises?"Are you alright in there?" Axel asked."Yes, I am fine." I said, quickly putting on my clothes and walking back into the room to join him. "I'm ready."....."Hand me your clothes; I'll keep them safe for our return." Axel says.My hands wrapped around my naked chest; it was an attempt to hide my bruises, the one to my hip had almost completely healed. "We don't want to go butt naked into the pack, do we?" I questioned with a smile.He chuckled at that; his eyes trailed down my body before looking away quickly. "I was checking you out, sorry.""Nothing you haven't already seen." I say, grateful he didn't see the bruise on my ankle.He transformed into his wolf form, waiting on me. I tried, but... it wasn't working. Instead, my wings sprouted out of my back. I willed them in before trying again; this time nothing

"What do you mean, Bailey had escaped? How is that even possible?" Axel questioned."She had help." Thane said, walking past us. I followed him into the dressing room. He brought forth the key to Bailey's room, the very same one he had kept there a while ago."There must have been a spare key, another way in. She had gotten help from someone in this pack." Thane said."She escaped; we would get her back." Axel said confidently."The problem is not just her escape, but over a dozen of our soldiers had been killed, their body parts torn limb by limb."Axel and I exchanged glances; that had been why Thane was mad. It wasn't just Bailey's escape but the soldiers she had killed."Oh gods." I whispered."I shouldn't have told you this," Thane says."No, I need to know about this, I need to know everything happening in the pack.""I only wish I had killed the bitch.""Why didn't you?" I questioned."She is an elder, the only one who would ever be willing to give me information; killing her w

"Thane. I need to ask you a very unusual question.” I said to him,"At this moment, I need such unusual questions to take my mind off everything that has been going on lately. So ask on.""Uhmm, so since my return... we've never... uhm, done it and it is okay if you aren't ready yet." I paused, turning red, because he had his full attention on me and he found this funny. "You know what? Forget it.""No, please go on.""No." I say, pulling away from him and heading to the couch."Don't be like that; I promise I won't laugh.""Well, I'll just go straight to the point, then... I want to know why you haven't had sex with me yet. There, that's what I wanted to know."He burst into fits of laughter."You said you wouldn't laugh!" I exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger at him, but I did love watching him laugh this so heartily."I'm sorry." He says, but still wouldn't stop laughing."You don't get to be sorry, you little traitor." "There is nothing little about me, Riley, and you of all p

I was sore. But I had asked for it. "You have to go to work; I'm fine." I lied, but Thane saw right through that. "Maybe I did go a bit too far." "And I liked it." "You did, didn't you?" He asked with a smile. "Do you always have to be so cocky?" "No, just once in a while. I'll be back early." He promised. "I am a big girl; I can take care of myself." "Well, I could send in Axel." "No, not Axel." I pleaded; I knew exactly what he would do if he saw me like this. He would make fun of me; he already knew what I and Thane had been up to by now, and I wasn't ready for that just yet. "Have it your way then." Thane kissed my lips before he left for work. Thane going beast mode is the hottest thing one could ever see. He seems to lose it all to his animal instincts, and he is a sex freak. I needed that reminder so badly and even though I was sore, I still felt very turned on just by thinking about it. I needed a shower. I walked into the bathroom, taking a quick b

ALEXANDER’S POVHow could I have missed it?I always knew Kaida was different; she was not like other girls, and yet I doubted her. I had been the one wrong. She never did betray me.For the past few days, I had avoided looking at her—her eyes had this power over me, and I wasn’t ready to let her in again. But now, I noticed her—every part of her. I noticed she had lost weight. This was all my fault; I had jumped into conclusions too quickly.“Don’t hurt him.” She pleaded, and once again, that surprised me; after what he had done to her, he deserved to pay. Why was she protecting him?Because he would always remain family to her. Even after everything he had done, she was going to forgive him. “If he doesn’t suffer for what he’s done, he may never understand the severity of his offense.”"I know he deserves to be punished; I mean, he’s not exactly in the best state right now," she said. I couldn’t help the small smile that formed on my lips—of course, she must have thrown in a few pu

I didn’t know how to feel. While I had been venting about not being ready, a small part of me had already accepted the pregnancy—the challenges that came with it. For those few hours when I thought I was pregnant, I couldn’t deny a strange fascination with the idea of a life growing inside of me. Her news should have brought relief, but strangely, it didn’t.It was midnight. I didn’t know exactly how I had ended up at the door of our apartment. Letting out a sigh of resignation, I stepped inside. Maybe I did need to talk to Alexander.I found him seated in the exact same position I had left him, but this time, a bottle of liquor was in his hand. Even from here, I could smell the harsh smell of wolfsbane. My eyes widened, and I rushed to him."What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?""Well, that would just mean one less person for anyone to worry about."“Are you crazy? You are the Alpha king!”He smirked; it was humorless. I had never seen him look so scary and at the sam

I had known Aric all my life. I grew up with him—he was family to me. But never had I seen Aric look so scared, never had he let himself appear this vulnerable before me. In that instant, my own fears and worries were cast aside.“I betrayed your trust, Kaida. After everything you have done for me, I betrayed you, and I am so sorry. I was selfish and stupid; I let my feelings and desires get the best of me.”“I don’t understand. What are you trying to say?”"When I convinced you to leave Alpha Alexander out of the mission, it wasn’t because I thought it was the best decision—it was because I wanted to have you alone with me. I thought that if you were far enough away from him, you would be able to—I don’t know—think clearly. Finally, we were alone and far from him, just as I had always wanted, and then… I told you how I felt. I told you everything…"He didn’t need to say more; bit by bit, the memories flooded in. The dream I had earlier was more than just a dream. I remembered that d

My mind flashed back to the woman I had met in the woods all those years ago. If I could turn back time, I would have asked her exactly how her mate had broken her heart. Had he cheated on her? Had he beaten her? Or had he said the very same words Alexander Blackwoods had just said to me?“How dare you.” I growled at him. He was my first, the only man I had ever been with. “How dare you ask such a question, Alexander?” My voice sounded so cold; I couldn’t even recognize it.Alexander sat beside me as I shook with fury. “The healer had warned me when I began taking the doses of wolf’s bane. I didn’t listen; I was so obsessed with the idea of growing some kind of immunity to it. She was right in the end; it rendered me infertile—at least until I stopped my daily doses. And even then, we aren’t sure things will return to normal. With the amount of wolfsbane in my system, I am incapable of impregnating you, Kaida.”“I’ve only been with you.”“No. Just stop the act. I felt it… I felt it th

Nothing in the world could have prepared me for that news. Sarah's eyes held nothing but sympathy. I should have taken the pills. Now it was too late. I wasn’t ready; I wasn’t ready to train a child. Damn, I couldn’t even control myself; how am I expected to raise a child?I began panicking. “I can’t—it can’t be; there’s too much on the line; I can’t be pregnant.” The words came out in a panicked whisper."We haven't run any tests yet; I'm only speaking based on the visible signs; we are not yet sure of anything till we run a test.” She explained to me, and I nodded, but I could barely understand any word she was saying..I paced around my room, waiting for Sarah to bring the results. She had asked me to pee in a cup for the test; I didn’t even mind how awkward it was—I didn’t care. Please let her be wrong. If she is wrong, I would ask her for those pills and stay regular with them. Anytime I closed my eyes, I imagined myself getting big and round. I couldn’t fight with a child in

I lay on the bed, wide awake.I couldn’t sleep, even with Alexander so close to me. This time, his presence offered no comfort; we were on the same bed but might as well have been worlds apart, the gap between us growing wider and wider with each passing day.After he had fucked me against the table, I managed to make my way back to the bed and attempt to sleep. Clearly, it wasn’t working. I hadn’t said another word to him, and he seemed to prefer the silence.My memories pulled me back to an incident from a few years ago, back in the Dawn Pack. I remembered finding a woman in the woods—she was in so much pain. I tried to calm her down, but without being able to speak, she couldn't tell me what was wrong. I finally convinced her to shift back, and the moment she did, she broke down in tears. I had thought something terrible had happened to her, but I was… disappointed to realize that all that agony was simply because she was having issues with her mate.I had tried consoling her the b

KAIDA’S POVA whole week, and he barely spoke to me.I knew he was mad at me for leaving without informing him—he had every right to be—but I never thought it would drag on this long. I had believed that after my explanation, things would return to how they used to be. I was very wrongNothing was the same.I had just been informed that Aric had returned. I had been worried about him, but maybe it was smart of him to stay away for a few more days. Now he was back, he too kept his distance, and I didn’t think I was ready to see him either—maybe because a part of me blamed him. He had advised me to keep it all a secret from Alexander, and now I wasn’t sure if I had done the right thing.The Empress still lived, but everything I had built with Aric crumbled to pieces right before my very eyes.I spent my day exercising; that was the only way to let out stress, but this time it wasn’t enough. I missed him—I missed Alexander; I miss his touch… it was all driving me crazy.Most times, I had

The sun had begun to set as I approached Aric in the field; thankfully, the place was completely empty of people.“I knew I would be seeing you soon.” Aric said with a smile.“I had been waiting for you; I almost thought you chickened out.”“I had sex with her,” he said abruptly, and despite the fact that I already knew that, hearing it from the man who she had fucked only made it all worse."I should have known you'd take your chance the moment you were left alone with her.""For all you know, she might have been the one begging for it. Maybe you weren’t enough to satisfy her, or perhaps… she was craving something different."I’ve always excelled at keeping my emotions in check, but this time it took everything in me to keep calm. I was one step away from cracking his skull.“You know you can’t kill me.” He says, “She wouldn’t like that one bit, and you don’t want to make her mad.”“On the contrary, I do.”He hadn’t expected it; I grabbed his arm, snapping it. He let out a growl. “Yo

ALEXANDER’S POVI couldn’t bear to look at her. I came home late and left early—we hadn’t had a real conversation since we returned a week ago. She had tried starting one a few times, but after noticing my lack of interest, she stopped trying.I should get over this and move on. After all, I had been with other women too—but that was before Kaida and I became more than just unwilling companions. What hurt me the most wasn’t the act itself, but the fact that she hadn’t said a word about it. I had waited for her to finally gather the courage to speak up, only to realize she was going to pretend nothing had happened—like she hadn’t broken my trust. And that was what annoyed me the most.I would have forgiven her, damn, I still would— if she spoke about it.I drowned myself with work, and of course it paid off; the pack earnings had increased significantly this past week. When I wasn’t working, I was drinking myself to death. Usually, women, liquor, and violence were my only ways to let o
