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

“There’s a slight chance we aren’t dealing with a pack,” Daemon said. “Thank you for this information.”“Wait, you’re leaving me here? I just proved how important I could be.”“Yes, indeed. If you get any other information, just reach out,” he said, then turned around. He was really leaving.“Fuck you.” I muttered beneath my breath.“I heard that,” he called out. “I intended for you to hear that!” I said, but of course he was already gone.My gaze fell on Sebastian, still standing on the other side of the wall. He raised both hands in surrender before backing away. Frustrated, I stomped off..Kate arrived at the pack a few hours later. This time, she brought along her luggage.“You won’t really need all those for a few days.”“No, I won’t. But I’m not planning to stay for just a few days,” she said, walking into her room. I followed with two more of her luggage. “I’m moving into this pack,” she said finally, and I couldn’t deny how surprised I was at that.“Really?”“Yes,” she said,

I walked past the patrolling soldier and Phil, who followed after me.“I thought you said you were leaving? I was worried you’d do something rash, so I came after you.”Good thing he and the other patrollers hadn’t witnessed what happened earlier.“Plans changed. Guess I was about to make a rash decision — but I changed my mind.”“Are you okay?” Phil asked, inspecting me.I knew I didn’t exactly look my best — I’d spent god-knows-how-long in the healing room, then ran straight to pack my bags, dressed in nothing but the white gown the healing wardens had supplied. My eyes must have been red from crying. But every other person in the pack looked the same, if not worse.They were all mourning Alexander—I realized.Many cast pitiful glances at me.“Why did he have to go?”, “He was too young to die,” “He ‘was’ the best Alpha the pack had ever had.”Everyone had something to say about Alexander.I could hardly believe I’d run past all these people without noticing a single thing.

KADIA’S POVI woke up in the healing room.A pair of blue eyes watched me — Daemon. He looked… different, and it wasn’t just the new haircut. There was something about him that made him seem more human."Daemon," I called; my throat felt so dry.He seemed to have already prepared for that. He passed me a glass of water, which I quickly emptied.Everything came flooding back — the news about the plane crash. It became harder to breathe.“Kaida. Calm down.”"He's gone — he was in the plane when it crashed."I yanked out the tubes attached to my arm and rose to my feet. The movement had been too abrupt; the room seemed to spin.I felt hands guiding me back to the bed. I couldn’t hold in the tears.“He shouldn’t have been there. I made him go, and now…”“Stop.” Daemon said, cutting me off. “He is not dead. I visited the site; I didn’t find anything that indicated he was among the ones that died.”“You were at the site?” I asked, my heart speeding up with renewed hope.“Yes. The moment I h

ALEXANDER’S POVMy blurred vision slowly cleared, and I realized I was in what looked like a small, empty room.The wall facing me was made of thick, transparent glass.I couldn’t tell how they managed to get me in here—there was no window or door, only a narrow slot likely meant for passing food and letting in just enough air to keep the ‘prisoner’ alive.I could only assume there was some kind of hidden entrance.My hands and ankles were bound with thick silver chains.The chains felt excessive—I could barely move a muscle.More wolfsbane than I’d ever consumed in my entire life had been pumped into my system, completely immobilizing me and filling me with this nauseating, sickly feeling. I hadn’t realized I was shivering until I noticed the tremble in my fingers.The room was chillingly cold, and with the wolfsbane suppressing my werewolf abilities, I was no exception to the cold. I tried to summon flames. Nothing.Maybe I was just too weak to summon the flames. The crushing feeli

1KADIA’S POVWhen I discovered the news of my pregnancy, I had been so happy. But I knew a lot would have to change.I had to be more cautious—for the baby. That meant I wouldn’t be able to keep training the pack soldiers for much longer. Of course, I’d have to give up that duty eventually and it had become a part of my life. I would have to watch my diet, too. And then there were other things. Like the fact that I would grow big, and I might not look the same. My toned stomach which I had spent years working on would be no more.This had been the type of life I once abhorred, but everything was different now—I wanted this. I could see a future with Alexander, filled with laughter and little kids running around, and the thought made me smile.Lara was the first person to find out I was pregnant.After I discovered the pregnancy test was unmistakably positive, I was as scared as I was excited.Lara happened to be visiting the pack, and we kind of bumped into each other. She was all s

KAIDA’S POVThe flesh-eaters were all gone. Packs that had been destroyed were slowly rebuilding; the chaos had finally settled. But there were still many things to attend to—like the few humans who now knew that dangerous supernatural beings lived among them.The human president had reached out to us; He was ready to pay whatever sum was needed to keep creatures like the ‘flesh-eaters’ away, as they could cause civil unrest among the people. He was willing to pay even more so things could return to the way they were when humans and supernatural beings lived separately.Alexander sent a letter back, assuring him that the ‘creatures’ were gone and that things would continue as usual. What they didn’t realize was that many werewolves and supernatural beings already lived among humans. They owned major companies and enterprises worldwide. From popular clothing brands to tech products, much of it was secretly controlled by the werewolf community.One constant worry lingered on my mind —

JADE POVEarlierI had chosen to spend my final hours in the little underground lair just beneath the small house I owned.At the other side of the room, trapped behind a magical wall, was a flesh-eater. I had captured it and brought it back here. If Aliyah does go through with her words, then the creature wouldn’t last until the next day.Hours passed, and the beast remained caged—still alive, still stupidly trying to push through the magical barrier I had created to contain it, no matter how many times it got scarred from trying.I wouldn’t blame the girl if she backed out; she had every right to make that decision. She was young and in love—it wasn’t easy to let go of everything for people who were mostly strangers.Beside me was a picture of Ralph. The only one I had, and the only thing that had accompanied me through the years. Many would say I lived a lonely life, but that was the only way I knew how to live—though it hadn’t always been that way.I thought back to when Ralph wa

DAEMONAliya was in the same silk white nightgown she’d slept in. A soft breeze blew through her silver hair. She looked surreal, like an angel. “I have to do this.” She said, and I could see the determination in her eyes.“No, you don’t have to do this. I told you I would find a way…”“There is no other way.” she said, cutting me off. “This is the only way. I can end the war, and this is what I have to do to end it.”I’d remember those words in the dream I had. She’d told me how she could “end the war.”Those eyes stared at me like she could read exactly what I was thinking.“Do you love me enough to let me go?” she whispered—and that’s when it hit me: it was never a dream. “The undead would be gone if Solene died. The war would end if I took my life—with this dagger.”“Tell me one thing, Aliyah. If you were in my place, would you let me go?” I asked. Tears spilled down her cheeks. She didn’t answer, maybe because we both knew what that answer was. “Why in the hell do you think

ALIYAHI stood watching the lake.The memory of what had happened here resurfaced, and I smiled. There were still so many things I had yet to do, so many adventures waiting out there.I looked down at the dazzling diamond on the engagement ring Daemon had given me. It must have cost a fortune, but that wasn’t why I thought it was beautiful. It would always be my most prized possession because of what it signified.Now I could see the truth—Daemon would have given up his title to be with me.I didn’t deserve his love. I didn’t deserve him. And yet, I wanted him.The best days of my life were the ones I spent with Daemon. Truly, he was the greatest gift life had given me, and I would always be grateful for that.But I had to make a decision.**FLASHBACK**“I need to speak to the girl alone,” Jade said, and I watched the others walk away, leaving me alone with the sorceress.“I remember it all,” I confessed. “I remember how many people died because of me… how many others I killed.”“That
