All Chapters of Contractually Yours, Alpha: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

The woman standing before me had the same colour of hair my mother did, but slightly different eye color. She did look very much like my mother, but slightly younger; she was sobbing silently, and I noticed her swollen eye and her mouth... her tongue was missing, preventing her from speaking.Slade walked forward. He stared the woman up and down and scowled in irritation—this wasn’t what he was expecting, and it was a wound to his ego. He kicked the woman hard, and she fell to the ground. I am sure he broke a bone. Thane stared down at the woman, and I saw something flash in his eyes as he picked her up; she could hardly stand.“She is from my pack, and I had promised you she would be dead,” Thane said to his father.Slade didn’t seem satisfied by that; leaving it up to him, he would have lengthened the woman’s torture. Thane whispered something in the woman’s ears before slitting her throat. She choked on her own blood, clutching on to her throat as she dropped to the ground.He had

Thane was right; I didn’t need any external help to connect with my wolf’s side.I got accustomized to running on all fours; my senses weren’t as overwhelming as they had been the first time I transformed.I felt... free and finally complete..My clothes waited for me, just where I had left them before I transformed and I put them back on.I heard the footsteps approaching, even before I saw him."Hey,” the stranger called. Maybe not exactly a stranger; I had seen him before, but I couldn’t quite place where I had seen him.“You startled me." I lied“I’m sorry, Luna. I didn’t know it was you.”“What are you doing here?”I face-palmed myself ‘internally’ the moment I asked that question. This was no private space; anyone could come here at their free will.“I just needed to clear my head,” he said, a small sad smile on his face. He was good-looking—the type you really wouldn’t notice till you looked closer. I should walk away, but then I remembered my duty as the Luna, and he did look

“She did nothing. The one responsible had been killed,” I said, my voice cold. I couldn’t give any detail away, it was no longer a game, not with my mother involved.“A woman was killed, yes. But the one responsible wasn’t. Your mother had been in my room. How couldn’t I tell? I can never forget that scent,” he says with a smirk. “My son is either growing weak or trying to spite me.” "Is it a shame you couldn’t ask my mother this question yourself?”“I would have, but she is under Thane’s protections, so it could be quite... difficult,” he says, and I snort. His gaze trailed down my body, and I held back the shiver of pure disgust.“It hadn’t been difficult for her to get to you,” I retorted only to spite him.“Hell hath no fury like a woman seeking revenge,” he says. And the resentment I felt threatened to break through my calm facade.“You should be ashamed of yourself” I hissed out. “If you hoped to get anything from me then apologies your royal highness, I know nothing, so whatev

It had been so long since I was alone in a room with Axel; I needed to talk to him; he couldn’t just drop a bombshell on me and walk away like that. But he was rather more interested in speaking about ‘the incident’.“So this random guy just pops out of nowhere; you’ve never seen him before, and he’s like, Let’s go to the creepy safe house, and you go with him?” Axel asked, his voice disapproving.“No... I mean, yes. But it didn’t happen that way; you made me look so foolish in that theory of yours.”“So what did happen?”“I was out for a run... but I had hoped to see you,” I admitted, and his eyes softened. “But when I didn’t, I figured I could just go... alone, and that was what I did. I had gone through with it, but then ‘he’ showed up; he seemed so sad. I thought he was one of us—a member of this pack—and I had been so bored, he offered to escort me anywhere I wanted to go, but then he brought up the idea; he made it seem like it had just occurred to him; I never knew it was all p

"You seem lost in thoughts; what are you thinking about?" Thane enquired. It was late at night, but my mind was very much awake, and of course, Thane noticed that."Nothing," I lied."Are you by any means thinking about Axels’ proclamation?" He asked, and I was silenced. I always thought Thane was very good at reading people, but what if... it was more than that? There was no way he could have read that off my face alone."Thane, I think you can read minds.""Does that mean I guessed correct?""Yes, and how... how did you do that?""I am a really good guesser, I think?""No, it is more than that; I feel like there is something more, something you aren't telling me.""Riley, look at me," he says, and I do just that. "I am not a mind reader; that would be cool but it only happens in books and movies, I cannot do that. Axel told me about it earlier; when you had been kidnapped, he thought it was his fault, and so I guessed.""Because I am an open book?" I questioned"No, I find you myste
