All Chapters of Contractually Yours, Alpha: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

I always thought something was off that night; I had been surprised to discover that Beatrix had tried to save me; it felt so bizarre, and I was right to suspect her, even after her ‘good deed’.I was not exactly disappointed; I’ve seen and heard more shocking things; at this point, I didn’t think anything could surprise me anymore.There must be a reason why she saw the need to expose herself.“I changed my mind; I swear, I knew it was all wrong and so I tried to make things right." Beatrix stated.“Since when did Beatrix care about what was wrong or right?” Axel asked, “There must have been a discovery, right?, Thane is about to discover the truth, so you choose to make the wise step of confessing before then, just so you could be seen as ‘less’ guilty.”Beatrix shook her head slowly. “I do feel bad; you don’t understand.”“Make me,” I said to her.“I thought you were the problem, but you weren’t; Thane was the problem, I should have seen that a long time ago, but I didn’t, even if

I scanned the rows of dresses—many I had never even worn. I always find myself wondering why I needed this so many.I picked out an emerald green silk gown and dedided to curl my hair to make a change.I was late; the party had already began in full swing; This would be the first mating ball I was witnessing in this pack, it did makes sense for the ball to take place here as this pack is one of the biggest and would contain more guests and visitors. The mating ball brought back past memories, but I have finally moved on. I had promised myself to enjoy my time at the party. Thane would be here anytime soon and we would go together.Still, I had this unsettling feeling, and that might be because today marked six months since I arrived at the Nightshade Pack, so literally, today was the day my contract with Thane expired—not that we were still bound by the contract, but to think that this could have been the end...My thoughts were cut off by the knock on the door.I was only expecting

I walked into the room, noticing that their scent still lingered, Thane and Axel had been in here, that I was sure of, but then what were they doing in here?This was none of my business; I should turn around right now; some secrets were just not meant to be discovered, and I was satisfied with the way things were now; I didn’t need to spoil that. I had been about to do just that—I had been about to turn away from this room when I discovered the pictures pinned to the wall.I knew these people.Some of them were at the ball at this moment, but most of them had been present in the meeting; I could spot Alpha Trent, Alpha Cain, Alpha Zack... and others.They were all Alphas, I realized, but what was more disturbing was that all the pictures pinned to the wall were marred by a bold crimson ‘X’. You only see stuff like these in movies, this was how the ‘assassins’ mark their next victim.I backed away, till the table in the middle of the room halted my movement. On the table was a map, an

“Nyaos was not the only one who escaped; we calculated wrong. Caleb too is out there and free,” Bailey says.“They did this to you?” I questioned, unable to fathom the brutality of the elders.“I betrayed them; I turned them all in, and then I came to take the last one— they let me believe it was only Nyaos left, and just as I had stabbed my brothers and sisters in the back, Caleb did the same to me. In all the centuries I lived, I had never experienced pain so intense that I longed for death. All for what?” Her voice croaked, “All to selfishly gain more power. I should have known you would never do as you said Thane, but maybe my hunger after power blinded my eyes.”“Bailey, I was never going to rule alongside the elders—one way or the other, I would have killed them after I got my crown,” Thane admitted, and I knew that was the truth; we all knew that.Bailey shut her eyes, deciding to ignore us all.“Bailey, if you want them dead, then you have to give us more details.”“I don’t ha

"So I guess you didn't exactly mean your words when you said ‘you hope I died?" she questions"I thought I did; maybe I was wrong?""Do you know what I would have done if I were in your place?" She questioned, and I shook my head, indicating a 'no'. "I would have laughed right in your face before I stabbed you in the chest. Then I notify the others only when I was sure you were dead. I would tell them that I found a dead body in the middle of the woods. Of course they have no reason to doubt me. If you had been expecting a thank you from me, then I am sorry to disappoint you. Shut the door on your way out," she said before resting back on the bed."Do you think I came here for the sole purpose of checking on you?" I questioned her, keeping the emotion off my voice. I did come to check up on her, but she didn't have to know this."Then why are you here?""I know there is more—something you are hiding, and I thought if I talked things out with you, you would be willing to spill the bea
