Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Nine
Bailey finally let me go. She gave me a very long look before she disappeared, leaving just as quickly as she came. I let out a breath of relief.Then the panic set in. She was going to use me to hurt Thane. I couldn't let that happen; I would have to tell him, but then, what had she been referring to when she said she wasn't the first to do something like this?I couldn't sit here and wait for Thane's arrival; I had to go meet him. I rinsed my mouth of the blood before heading to his office. Axel was the only one in there with him; they were going through some documents when I walked in. Two pairs of eyes met mine."I need to speak to you, Thane."Thane stared at the paperwork on his desk before pushing that aside. "What do you want to speak to me about?""Have you used your Alpha aura thingy one on me before?""Damn." Axel muttered. "I should go.""No, you will stay." I said to him, and he settled back on his chair. "Please, Thane, don't lie to me; just tell me the truth; I need to

I ran my hands through my hair over and again, frustrated. They needed to know, but due to Bailey's command, I couldn't tell them. What if I could… improvise?I took out a pen and paper, with shaky hands I wrote; 'Thane. I want you to know something: I killed them. Those soldiers who were dead, I did that; I had been the one who freed Bailey too; she has this control over me, she controls my mind, and I can't even explain it. I didn't want to kill those men, they've done nothing wrong to warrant me doing that, but I did anyway because she asked me to. You can't trust me, Thane; she would use me against you.’I paused writing, staring at the paper where I was almost sure that I had been writing on. There were no words on the papers, just lines; that's all I had been writing; the words had been in my mind, and I thought I was penning them down, but I was only writing down gibberish.I gasped. Taking steps backwards till I came in contact with the wall.I couldn't write it down because

THANE. "I won't say I didn't warn you,” Axel says. "I was only trying to help; I didn't know she would get so upset by it." "No one likes their mind messed with Thane." "The last thing I need now is your lectures, Axel." "Maybe you should go find Riley, you have a lot of pleading to do." "Do you think she would forgive me?" I questioned. "Yes, she would. I mean, she did forgive you for letting her go, what offense would be greater than that?" "I just keep messing things up when it comes to her." "And you will have to find a way to fix it, Alpha." Of course I had to fix it, but there was even the more worrisome question, and that was, how the hell did she find out? "I know what you are thinking." Axel says, "I'm wondering the very same thing too. I mean, it doesn't make sense that she discovered it all of a sudden." "Someone must have told her. No one else was here except you and me." "Bailey would be a suspect," Axel says. "If she was still in the pack, yes

RILEY.I thought beating up Nick would make all the anger I felt disappear, but I was wrong; all the pent-up anger still remained. I was somewhere in the middle of the woods; I should be more careful; I might be encroaching on another pack’s land, yet I couldn't bring myself to care, not even one bit. Dawn came upon me, but I remained here, in the woods. Thane would be worried; he must have discovered I was gone by now. Still, I couldn't bring myself to return just yet. Maybe it was because I knew there was another option, another way I would be of no harm to Thane. If I ran, if I hid well enough that Bailey would never be able to find me, then they would all be safe.But I only got Thane back; how could I lose him again?If I did make this decision, if I did choose to leave, then I would forever be on the run, unable to live my life. I knew Thane would find me, but I could try hard to be one step ahead of him; all I needed to do was to be constantly on the move; never staying in on

I rose early the next morning. I took a very long bath before getting dressed. I had some injuries I needed to cover before Thane awoke.I joined him in the room when I was done."And where are you off too, looking so sexy?" he questioned."I am in a regular gown; how is this sexy?""Well, you have to see yourself in the mirror and decide. You've not answered my question.""Work. I'll be going to work with you today." I say, and a smirk formed on his lips."You are free to come with me, of course, but is there a reason you choose to today?"My answer came a few seconds too late. "I just want to spend more time with you, but don't worry, I'll be on my best behavior; I won't distract you. I could help with the mini-jobs or anything you want me to do." I offered."Getting desperate, are we?""Yes, I am desperate." I agreed with a smile, and he chuckled, amused.Of course there was a reason I chose to go with him to work, one I couldn't tell him. Bailey wouldn't risk revealing herself whe

I stepped back on her request, my body once again acting against my mind. Inside I was raging; I wanted to hurt her so badly, but I felt like I had been caged in the inner parts of my mind; I could only watch what was happening, but I had no control over my own actions.Nothing was as torturous and infuriating as that."Bad bad, Luna. Look what you made me do." She drew out each word as she walked deeper into our room, she pulled open a drawer, taking out Thane's cuff. "Kinky," she said, tossing it to me; it fell at my feet. "Put the cuff on.""You have control over me; you don't have to make me wear that to control me." I said to her,"Oh, I know that. Still I just needed to show you how much in control I am, now be snappy about it." I put the cuff on, just as she had ordered. "Good. Now ask me what I had to do to get you."I inhaled deeply; I hated this feeling of powerlessness."What did you have to do to get to me?" I questioned; those words had come out against my very own will.

"Riley, what is going on?" Thane questioned."Nothing...""No, just don't tell me that; don't lie to me, Riley; something is wrong and you are keeping it from me. What is it?"I remained silent because I had no response to his question."You think I don't notice? The sudden desperation to tag along everywhere I go makes it seem like you are afraid to be left alone, like you are scared of something, and I want to help you, Riley, but I have to know what is wrong to help you; you have to open up to me, Riley.""Just let me be, okay. I am fine.""No, you are not." He said he wasn't going to let this go. "Are you sick?" he questioned, clearly concerned."I am not sick; it's just..." I couldn't say the words. Thane waited, eyes hopeful; he was willing to help, and I wish I could tell him everything, but I couldn't. "I still think about Jake," I lied. "I'm willing to do anything to take my mind off him, but... there is something else I didn't tell you. When I left this pack, I had paid a vi

I didn't know exactly how I got here, but I had been in the pack safehouse when a figure approached me.Bailey. I realized."Why am I here?" I asked, keeping my face bare of emotions."You are here because I wanted you to be." "What do you want from me?" "I did tell you I would be back, didn't I? Well, here I am, and I have a mission for you." She said, passing me a small glass bottle filled with a greenish-yellow substance. "Go on, take it," she urged, and I took the bottle from her hand."What is this?""That, my dear, is wolfsbane extract.""Why are you giving me this?""Don't worry, it isn't for you but for the Alpha King, Thane. You will put this in his drink. The Wolf's bane when in his system would weaken him, and so we could proceed to the next step, but for now, this is all you have to do.""He could die." "That would be a pity, a death too quick, not at all worth all the time I spent plotting. You are right though, with the quantity in that bottle, it can kill regular wol

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
