Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Eight
Bailey's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the dagger now prodding out of her chest. I didn't stop at that. I pulled the dagger out, only to strike over and over again, till I was sure she was dead. She fell to the floor in a puddle of her own blood, and finally I paused to stare at her. It was over; I couldn't believe it. I would be free.I didn't know I was crying till I felt the tears against my cheeks; this wasn't tears of pain or sadness but of relief. It worked. I couldn't believe it worked; I had been one step ahead of her.~~~I took Bailey's body deeper into the woods, a shovel in my hand, and when I was completely out of sight, I began digging as quickly as I could. I dumped her body into the hole I had dug. I had been about to cover her up when I heard the footsteps. I turned, but I had been a second too late. Something hard came into contact with my head, and I fell to the ground.The last thing I saw before I blacked out was Nick's figure standing over me..I awok

I spit out blood, my gaze returning back to Nick."I am not afraid of you, Nick; do your worst.""You were always a bold one, but the problem was your emotions; they are your greatest weakness.""Why not take your crappy insights and shove it right up your manhole."That earned me another slap, and I smirked knowing I was getting to him."Bailey would betray you; I mean, that's what she does best; you are nothing more than a tool to her.""Are you any different from her? You used me; I helped you heal from all the hurt the bastard inflicted on you; we made a deal, but of course, you broke it; you went back to him and returned my wedding ring like that solves it all. You aren't much different.""You lied to me; you hid the truth from me and left me suffering the consequences.""What did you think? That there would be no consequences? That the dark side would grant you power with nothing in return? If you thought that, then maybe you are the fool.""You want to know why I left you even

THANE'S POVEvery single commander and a few high ranked members had been interrogated, but none had been found wanting.I couldn't stop thinking about Riley. In the room, all alone, it was clear that she wanted to spend the night a different way, and I was going to make it up to her."None of them did this." Axel said to me when we were back in my office. "Yes, I could tell they weren't lying."Just then there was a knock on the door, and Regnux, one of the commanders, walked in."I wanted to speak with you," he said. I noticed how nervous he looked."Go on," I said."So from the investigations, it is clear that the murderer is not a Commander or a high ranked. What if we've been looking in the wrong place all these while?""Skip to the point, Reg."He nodded. "The point is, what if it's someone closer... maybe the Luna, I mean after what…"Axel walked to him. "Do you have proof?" He asked, cutting him off."No, not exactly...""So you come here and accuse the Luna with no proof?"

RILEY'S POV I was alone in the empty containment room, chained to the chair I had been placed on. The footsteps approaching got my attention. Bailey was back, again. "Your mate is here. Just as I had said, feelings make us weak, and that was his downfall." "Don't you dare harm him." I warned, struggling out of the chains. "I guess you would want to see him, right?" She questioned me, and I gave her no answer; I wouldn't let her see how desperately I wanted to go to him. She walked to me, taking off the chains, and I immediately bolted for the door. The moment I touched the handle, the silver burned my hand. "You may call it karma—you remember the silver dagger you used on me?" she asked. "Let me out." "I'll do that, but first, we need to make things clear. In whatever you do, you will not try to escape this place. Got it?" She ordered, and I nodded, compelled. "Good, now come with me." I followed her out of the room. The building seemed ancient, clearly an underground h

I always knew Bailey wasn't a good person; from the very first time I saw her, something about her was off-putting, but this was beyond evil.She was not only going to torture Thane but torture me too. He would hate me; even in my death, he would never discover the truth that she had been the one compelling me, and yet... it would be worth it if he stays alive in the end. Yes, he wouldn't have his wolf, but he would still have his life."And how do I know you won't stab me in the back after I am done with what you've asked?" I questioned. I couldn't trust Bailey; I knew that."You don't really have a choice here, do you?"That was equally correct; I didn't exactly have a choice. "Take me to him.""Give him a day; he is too weak to react now.".....A day.That's what Bailey asked for, but I would have preferred if I walked right into that space and said it all to him at that moment; at least it would be over, but now I sat here, alone, thinking about what I was about to do; I didn't

THANEI couldn't move. It must be these damned fluids being passed into my veins. I was forced to endure hours of pain and agony, the only comfort I got during that time was the minutes I spent thinking about Riley.My fear was that they got her too; I didn't mind them taking me; I was ready to bargain my life to save hers if it came down to that, she could go back to Axel, I was confident that he would take good care of her and she could live the rest of her life happy. The only problem was that in this position, my life wasn't really good enough to make the bargain. I hated to say this, but I was completely at their mercy, and that could only change if I managed to take these damned pipes out.The pain only worsened with time; maybe this would be my end. I had spent my life killing people—yes, the majority of them were those who challenged me and others who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, so this could be karma catching up with me. My only wish was to have a few more

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

Daemon stroded towards the door; he paused only to shift back into an imitation of Thane.“Daemon.” I called, and he turned to me. “The Dawn pack, why did you want to go to war against them?”“No reason; it was Vox orders.”“And you just… obeyed.”“Yes. I just obey.” With that he was gone.…..I walked through the underground chambers; I’ve heard about a secret exit somewhere in here. I spotted a large rectangular metal container; I was sure it hadn’t been here before, so I ignored it.There was indeed an exit, the space so small it could barely fit my body. I managed to go through the space, and I headed to the pack borders where Trent was waiting. He had done just as I had asked, and now he was back. I only hope there was no bad news.“Luna.” He called. “I owe you my sincere gratitude. Whoever had led those armies, they would have caught us unaware; we wouldn’t have survived it. The Dawn pack owes you big time.”“This is good news, and I am glad to hear it.” He didn’t know the att
Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Eighty Eight
Riley’s POVI knew it; I knew this wasn’t Thane. There had been something different about him, and despite the fact that he bore no attributes of a demon, I still had my doubts.Right before my eyes, the man who had taken Thane’s form shifted; of course, it was Daemon.“How is this possible? Your skin — it was warm, you walked under sunlight, and you shapeshifted…”“Earlier you told me you visited Jade; did you find her?”It finally sunk in. If he was here, free, then Jade must be in danger or —worse.“What did you do to her?” I sneered at him.“Me? No, I didn’t do anything; this is not on me but on her. After you gave me over to her to be tortured for her little ritual, a lot did happen. Did you know that the ritual did work, Vox—the Demon Overlord, He is very much alive. More to that, he killed Jade after she resurrected him.”“I don’t believe you. What did you do to Jade?”“And why do you think I would lie? To make you see me as a ‘better person?’ I don’t really care what you think

"Lately, He had been acting strange, and I was going to say something, but I had to be sure, and then the way he spoke to you back there, Thane would never do that.""What do you suggest?" I asked."I don't know what might be the cause, but a day ago I overheard his conversation; I believe he plans to attack a neighboring pack; the plan is to take their land and resources; their people would be forced into slavery.""A neighboring pack?""Yes, he said the 'Alpha' trusted him enough, and before he realized where the attack was coming from, it would be too late.""Trent.” I gasped, “He was referring to Alpha Trent. When are they going to attack?""Two days from today.""Arrange me a meeting with Trent; make sure no one finds out about it. I will meet him by the pack borders.""Yes, Luna." Again, Thane would never attack a pack who had done him no wrong; the man I had been living with, he wasn't Thane, and I was sure of it.Despite that knowledge, I would have to pretend; I wouldn't l

Thane might notice my absence from the pack, but I couldn't bring myself to care about that now; I needed to find Isabella or Logan; they were the only ones who could give me an explanation of what happened to Thane. And I couldn't find them without help, so I was off to Jade, the sorceress.Lately, I've been having doubts. What if that wasn't Thane? What if Daemon had somehow gotten back his 'abilities?' But then if it was Daemon, he would have killed me a long time ago for what I did to him; he had no reason to keep me alive, and let's not forget that Jade had promised to keep him away. But she had lost him once, there is a possibility she could lose him again.I flew down to the familiar spot, glad to have my wings back in action; this had been Jade's court, where Nick had brought me to, but the place looked completely different; trees had sprouted out from the midst of the court, making it look like she was never here. I punched a tree hard, causing it to crack under the impact.

He didn't give a response; that's exactly what I had expected. "I guess you would rather they die than for Riley to get hurt. We aren't much different after all.""No, I would never hurt her, and maybe you are right; we aren't much different after all, but let's not pretend like you can actually get me out of here, because I know you can't."He was right; I couldn't do a thing. I could not help him, and yet I wanted to hear his answer, maybe because I wanted to remind him that I wasn't the only selfish person here or because I wanted to feel less guilty about what I was doing. "You should eat something." "Bella?""Yes," I answered, hopeful. "Go to hell.""You jerk. Do you know what it took me to come here? I was worried about you; Logan didn't care if you died.""I'll die anyway, but I wouldn't wish your face to be the last I see before I die."I was completely speechless. I couldn't hold back the tears; I turned away from him and walked away..I returned to Logan's. He sat on his
Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Eighty Four
I could hear the disappointment in his voice, and for a moment I wondered if there was another way; what if he didn't have to die?"When you rejected me, I had felt so broken; I... attempted taking my own life just to end it all. Logan saved me.""Bella, once I did love you. I was willing to do anything for you. After you passed, a lot happened. I couldn't recover from your loss, and at a point, I lost myself. Years later, I met Riley, and she saved me from the monster I was becoming. I can't love two at the same time without hurting the other.""But you've always loved her more.""Yes. I do."Every time he said those words, they broke me, maybe because I knew it was true: Riley wasn't his fated mate, and still he loved her. I, on the other hand, have the benefit of the mate bond; his wolf would always be drawn to me, and yet, he didn't want me. What he felt for her was more than love; it was devotion, obsession, admiration, and so much more. Not even what we shared in the past could

ISABELLA"He's out there in the cold; he's not being fed, and it has been a whole week; he is going to die!" I said to Logan, who only shrugged. He never did like Thane; he didn't really care. "You know what? I'm going to him." I headed for the door, but in a flash, he was already by the door, right in front of me."Should I remind you what this 'Thane' did to you? He wouldn't have cared if you drowned to death; he doesn't really give a fuck about anybody but himself and his little mate. Any other person becomes a nuisance—you became a nuisance. He rejected you, sent you away.""I betrayed him! I deserve everything I got and more.""He didn't know about your plan; he wouldn't have cared if you were innocent." I attempted walking past him, but he blocked my path once again. "After what had happened, all he would want to do is kill you; you don't need to worry about him anymore; focus on yourself and what makes you happy."Logan picked me up, his palm massaging my thigh, going higher; h

The history books said nothing about the curse, and everything else was in there. She had brought up an explanation for that. I should have known she was lying, but I had no idea of what was happening; at that point, I would have believed anything."Flynn gave her a potion; she managed to slip it into your meals before they got delivered.""That doesn't sound very convincing; my meals are only handled by the cooks and maids; they know better than to try poison me.""Of course they do, but then again, there is… Pricilla." Realization dawned on me almost immediately. I had let her back into my pack for Axel's sake; she was his mother despite everything she had done, I wanted to give her a chance. That was my mistake. "You don't have to hate her; it wasn't exactly her fault. She was simply the easiest option. When she came to you, she never planned to betray you or the pack; she had pleaded a whole lot about how she wanted to be a changed person and how she didn't want to disappoint you

"I'm guessing there were no truths to all you told me." "Actually, the part about me not being your father was true." Slade responded, clearly enjoying this."What is the point of all these? Kill me; one of the biggest packs in the world will be left without their Alpha.""No, I would be there to fill the space.""As a ghost? Come on, you've got to think better than that.""You are a lycan, a powerful creature; also, you are the Alpha King and that's why you are here.” he cuts his sentence off, not wanting to give out too much information. “You know it had once been me, and it could be like that again. You don't know what it felt like watching you take over my pack, what it felt like watching you take my place, what rightfully belonged to me. You were just the bastard son, and yet, the goddess gave you the crown. I think Logan is a bit jealous. He had to spend his whole life hiding while you were out there, you became everything he wanted to be and much more.""The longer I stay miss
