Contractually Yours, Alpha THE LYCAN’S CURSE (BOOK II)
CHAPTER ONE "Hello... mother." The creature called. The mist gave way, forming legs. This 'man’ looked nothing like me; he was tall and slender, with short black hair; those blue eyes would have been the only thing we had in common but his was a darker shade of blue; thick lashes framed his eyes. I felt this growing sense of unease and I slowly backed away. “I am not your mother.” “You lie.” He states, seeing through my deception; the thing was that even if he looked nothing like me, there was this connection I felt just by staring at him. “As soon as I could, I came to you.” He says, and though he bears the form of a human, there is nothing human about him. “What did you do to the sorceress?” I questioned, still keeping my distance. “She trapped me, mother; I was all alone.” “You killed her.” I whispered. “No, I locked Jade far away, where no one can ever find her, just as she did to me.” Jade. Was that the sorceress name? He approached me, and I took yet ano

THANERegnux is the last person I should have promoted, considering he was new, but I had been watching him for a while now, and I could tell that he was a good observer; he knew so much about the pack, maybe a little too much.Now I wondered if I made the right decision."Alpha. I've been hearing whispers amongst the pack members," he said to me."When are they not gossiping?""No, this is a matter of importance.""Speak on then," I say, my eyes on the files. Riley was right when she said I should have picked another Beta; the work was getting... hectic, but I was yet to find the right person, and that could be because I was comparing every other person in line with Axel, and that just wouldn't work if I wanted to find someone."They speak about the Luna. Everyone had witnessed the sight...""Her wings, you mean?" I questioned; of course I knew everyone saw that; I just didn't expect the matter to be brought up after so many months. "Yes, her 'wings'. Many at first thought she was s

RILEYI lit up the last candle, and Thane arrived.Right on time.He paused at the door. "This looks very... romantic. I'm guessing an invitation to have sex?" "No silly. Our one-year adversary. Though the six-month contract period doesn't count."He smiled wide and for a moment I was lost in those beautiful amber eyes. "It feels a lot more than that," he says, and I nod in agreement."It does; it feels like I've been with you since... forever.""You prepared all these?" he asked, and I could see the amazement in his eyes.I didn't do much, Thane could have done better, even on a very short notice. All I could handle was some flowers, candles, and food and drinks for the both of us."Yes, I did, and before you tell me about how much I need rest, know that it wasn't too much hard work and..."He walked to me, lifting me up so my legs wrapped around his waist, and he kissed me. "It's beautiful, and I'm sorry I forgot.""It's alright, at least I didn't."He pulled out my seat, and I sat

ISABELLA’S POV For the next few days, I watched him. Thane never spoke a word to me, and I wonder if he had forgotten everything because I hadn’t. I didn't exactly lie to the Luna, but I wasn’t telling the truth either. I did remember a part of my life. A part where ‘He’ was my everything. SOME YEARS AGO... I had found an abandoned house, right in the middle of the woods. It was the perfect place. Here I wouldn’t be encroaching on any packlands; no one would ever be able to find me. I was a runaway wolf. I had left home one day and never returned; my parents might believe that I died; I didn’t think they would cry over my death. To them, I was already dead. I had an illness, one we all knew would kill me in the end, and maybe that’s why I ran away. I wanted to live life to the fullest with the little time I had left. I've always loved nature, so it was no shocker that I ended up in a house surrounded by trees and nature’s wildest animals. I wasn’t alone; no, I never really

THANE’S POVRiley wouldn’t exactly understand why I wanted the ‘new girl’ as far away as possible.How do I explain to her that the girl I had seen in the healing room was a complete replica of Bella? And turns out they have the same name, Isabella.Bella never told me her full name, but Isabella was close, too close.It felt like fate was playing some kind of game with me. I stood over the railing, taking a sip of vodka, and just then ‘Isabella’ walked in. Of course she was easy to spot; her red hair and bright features made her stand out.She said she forgot her memories; I believed she wasn’t being honest. I should go to her and ask her some questions, but it didn’t feel right to be anywhere close to her. I watched her from a distance though, noticing more similarities she had to Bella. Their walking steps were very alike.I had already talked to Regnux about keeping her far away from me; maybe she could be placed in other pack homes outside the main pack house; that would make muc

RILEYI replaced the flowers on Axel's grave. Just as I had been doing for the past months."You used to be someone I could always talk to." I began. Staring at his grave, his name had been engraved on the tombstone ‘Beta/Commander/Soldier —Axel Dean of the Nightshade’. "So much has happened since you've been gone. It turns out that Thane has been keeping some things away from me. It doesn't make me mad though. I know whatever he does, he does to protect me, but sometimes I wish he could see that I am a big girl and I can handle stuff." There was complete silence, still I spoke on."The baby is growing well; that's what the healers said, and I'm excited, but at the same time, very… scared I don't want to mess this up. Thinking about the baby had taken my mind off so many things, like who I really am. I discovered a while ago that my 'wings' might be having a little issue; they haven't healed up since the 'incident,' but I'll keep ignoring it; maybe it just takes time."I paused aga

The sorceress, Jade, had warned me, I was to keep it all a secret, but then my priority had been to keep Thane alive; I couldn't care less what anyone thought at that moment, and if time was taken back, I wouldn't have done things any differently, and yet I… worried.I walked into my room and shut the door before I noticed I wasn't alone.A man sat on my cushion; no, he was no stranger; he was my… son. The demon I birthed. His mouth was stained with blood.I stared at his almost surreal face; every inch of him had been designed to allure preys."Mother." He called. "I've missed you.""Who's blood is that?" I questioned."No one from this pack," he said, wiping it off. "I didn't want to kill them. I only wanted to make friends, but they were afraid of me, and so I had to.""You don't have to; you never have to kill people.""Then explain my lust for blood.""You can control it.""I can't; I tried, and I can't."I walked to him, cautiously taking a seat beside him. He stretched out his

ISABELLA'S POV...I had spent my days wondering if I made the wrong choice.Everything had changed the moment I saw him for the first time; his image had been etched into my mind. I couldn't stop thinking about him, and slowly I was falling in love with my very own imaginations of him.I wanted to see him one more time, and yet I knew I couldn't.The sun was high in the sky when I returned to the place I called home. I walked in, and only then did I realize I wasn't alone.The man from the woods had found my little home, and that means I could no longer stay here. I had wanted to keep this place a secret, and now... It wasn't anymore."How did you find me?" I questioned, because despite my anger, I still wanted to hear him speak; there was something alluring about his voice."This is the only building around; it would make sense that you live here," he said."You aren't giving up, are you?""No. No, I am not.""What do you want?""Everything," he says, he was confident. I liked that

"Empress," I called. But she was not alone—I noticed other empresses and high regents trailing behind her.“You were gone for quite a long time.” She said to me, “Did you really think you could run away?”“I didn’t intend on running away… All I wanted to do was explore the city.”“Explore the city?” she questioned, walking closer to me. “You are the Chosen; out there, all you would find is sinful people, ready to taint you; there is nothing out there.”“Then maybe I don’t want to be the god of light's chosen! Maybe I want to just live my life like any other girl; maybe I think this—everything, it’s all a lie.”She slapped me hard, and the sharp sting was followed by the metallic taste of blood on my tongue.“How dare you say something so blasphemous?”“I don’t take back my words. You lock me in here, day and night, forcing me to read stupid books, forcing me to learn stupid languages. If the god of light was so powerful, she shouldn’t have an issue in speaking with the common tongue.

“Are you scared, Aliya?“No.” I lied.“I can tell when you are lying.”“I’m not.”“Another lie.”“Yes. I am scared.”“Good. You should be.”“Are you going to hurt me?”“No. I won’t. But I have another question. Have you ever touched yourself?”“No.” I answered, avoiding his gaze.“Then I’ll be the first person to make you cum.”He slowly circled a finger around my clit, and my breaths grew shallow. “Trian…”“Don’t speak. If this is to be the last night I spend with you, then it must be worth it.”The last night? What did he mean?I had no time to think about it as the pleasure consumed me. He went lower, a place no one but the Empress had ever gone. I didn't like it then, but now… I wanted it so bad. “Don’t look away, Aliya; watch as I fuck you with my fingers.”He thrust two fingers into me hard, and I cried out; he went even harder, his thrusts unrelenting. I built up quickly, hard and fast. “Train.” I warned, but he wouldn’t stop; he placed a kiss on my clit and then nibbled on it

Ash gave me one last look—hesitant, uncertain—before he ran.“We need to leave now.” Trian said, helping me up to my feet.“Where are we going to go?”“My place,” He answered. I could tell he was angry.He pulled me along, and after twenty minutes of walking, we came to a stop before a house. I had no time to study the place before he led me inside. It looked even nicer; only the wealthy here could afford such houses.“I never knew you had a house.”“I only just got it,” he said, passing me a bottle of water. I twisted off the cap and took a drink.“I’m sorry…” I began.“Don’t. Don’t even say that. What the hell were you thinking running out of the castle all on your own? Did you even know where you were going?”“I was bored.”“Being bored is better than getting killed. There are bad people out here, Aliya; do you know what would have happened if the wrong set of people had found you? Some would have sold you for gold; others wouldn’t mind tainting you just to anger those empresses. Y

I ran as fast as my feet could carry me away from the castle. I could only hope that while I was gone, Julia wouldn’t have a reason to check on me—because if she discovered I was missing, Then I was doomed.The city was alive as always.I headed straight to the fortune teller’s hut. Ever since my last visit, all I could think about was coming back here to ask her more questions—normal questions any girl would want to know. Questions that had nothing to do with me being a ‘chosen.’Trian believed that fortune tellers were all liars, maybe they were, maybe they weren’t.I stopped before the small, odd-looking hut with bones hanging from its door. I walked in and immediately spotted the old woman. She sat on a wooden stool directly in front of the fireplace, her eyes fixed on the fire. She muttered some foreign words before blowing a whitish powder into the flames, causing them to burn brighter.“How can I help you, girl?” She asked, without looking at me.“I came here to ask some more q

ALIYA’S POVI heard footsteps approaching and quickly hid the book I had been reading. Empress Julia never liked seeing me with leisure novels; I doubted I was even allowed to read anything that didn’t concern my studies or my future as the god of light’s chosen.“Empress,” I addressed.“You look well,” She said, “How have your lessons with Cynthia been going?”“Very well, she is a good teacher.” I lied.Empress Cynthia’s lessons were the worst; I hated every minute and second of it. I was currently learning an ancient, ‘forgotten’ language called Sumerian. Most times, all I imagined was shoving the textbook down her throat. I couldn’t deny that there was something off-putting about her—but then again, so was every Empress in this damned city.“I don’t expect less.” Julia said. I could tell that wasn’t exactly the reason she was here, and she was getting to that part soon. “Have you seen Trian by any chance? I’ve sent a few soldiers to find him, but he seems to be out of reach.”‘How

I didn’t exactly call for Sarah just so she could help me draw a bath.“Luna.” Sarah addressed, bowing. “The Alpha informed me that you requested my presence.”“Yes. I wanted to ask about the girl… the little one Alexander brought from the Gray Moon Pack."I caught the slight hesitation on her face before she answered. “Her name is Amanda.”“Beautiful name for a beautiful girl. How has she been recovering?”“She’s doing very well, better than I ever expected, actually. She’s blending in with the other kids, which is nice—she should be around people her age and…" Sarah kept talking. I couldn’t help but smile.“You seem to have grown a fondness for this girl.”“I… I just feel sorry for her; I want to protect her in any way I can.”“Sarah, you know you can tell me anything.” I reminded her, and she nodded.“Of course. It’s just that I don’t know if you’ll approve.”“Approve of what?”“I had taken her back to my apartment; she has been living with me—I didn’t ask for your permission; it’s

KAIDAI should have won. I had been so close, and then he appeared out of nowhere.Alexander switched to his human form and then he…. bursted into laughter, of course he found my failure funny. “I guess it was your pride that got bruised.” he said.I transformed back to my human form too. “You are a guy, and I’m a girl—you shouldn’t be competing against me.” I said to him, and that only made him laugh harder.“I wasn’t. I wasn’t trying, and I still beat you.”“It was just luck; it won’t happen again.” I promised him; what I meant to say was I would never be foolish enough to challenge him to a race. He was not only stronger than me; he was also faster. He was better than me in everything, and that bruised my pride. “We should get back.” I turned to walk away, but in a flash he was right in front of me.“Forgotten our little bet?” he asked.Yes, that had slipped my mind; now that I think of it, I was indeed a proud fool for agreeing to it.“What would you have me do, Alpha King?”“If y

ALEXANDER’S POVReturning from my ‘trip,’ all I wanted was to see my mate. I’d missed her, missed kissing her, but then I discovered she had been kept in the dungeons for over three nights. My own advisors had seen fit to humiliate her. It took all my will to remain calm.There were going to be changes to the Council; perhaps I never needed so many advisors after all.“The woman’s name is Helen; she does have a five-year-old child. She worked for Eamon as a sales representative.” Austin read from the file.“She was paid pennies; that’s very low for a full-time worker.” I said.“Yes, it is very far below the minimum wage.” Austin agreed.“Get in touch with this woman; make sure she’s well taken care of and established.” I said to him, and he nodded, taking the file along before walking away.I turned to the rest of my advisors; tension hung in the air. They weren’t just unsettled; they were afraid, and they were right to be.“Alpha, if I may speak…” Ronan began, but I cut him off.“No,

I climbed up the stairs and stood right in front of my mate, Alexander."The man was not innocent..." I began, but my words were cut off as he pulled me onto his lap and kissed me. The kiss was passionate, raw, and full of need."Hush. You need not say a word."There was complete silence in the hall.Alexander rose, gently setting me down before walking over to Seth."You placed your Queen Luna and my mate in the dungeons. Who gave you that authority?"Seth fell to his knees. "I apologize. I meant her no harm...""It seems I need to set more examples, and you'll be the unlucky one I use to make them.""But I am your advisor; I have been by your side ever since you were only a boy.""I haven't forgotten that," Alex said, his claws tearing through his skin. "But you forgot your place."I watched in complete astonishment as Alex ripped Seth's head off his body and tossed it aside, the lifeless body crumpled to the floor, blood pooling around it."The soldiers who had been stupid enough
