Semua Bab Contractually Yours, Alpha: Bab 211 - Bab 220

"What?" I questioned. "Where is she?""She had been waiting for a while, but you needed your rest."I knew exactly why she was here, and I wasn't ready for that yet. I wasn't ready to speak to her, yet I knew she had come all this way..."You could send her in.""Are you sure?" Axel asked, and I nodded."But could you do me a favour? Don't leave me alone with her.""Sure."I wasn't afraid of my mother, but I already knew how disappointed she would be. I just needed someone by my side..My mother walked into our room, a tight smile on her face. Axel followed next."Mom!" I called, walking towards her. I embraced her. I couldn't help but feel like the excitement was a little… forced. I was happy to see her, but her arrival made me feel a bit nervous, and now more than ever, she had every right to be disappointed in me."I've been so worried about you," she said, her eyes trailing down my body — maybe in search of injuries. "But I can see you are completely fine."Of course I was, the

Axel had left after taking off my stitches. "You are healing up really nice," he commented with a smile. "Thank you, and I already feel perfectly fine."It was late in the night; Axel had already informed me that Thane would be back a bit late. There had been another attack, and many still believed the attacks were from this pack.I rose, putting on a robe, and headed to the balcony, enjoying the fresh air.My mother was the only family I had left. I wish I could tell her about Nick; he wasn't exactly a villain, but my mother had referred to him as the only 'good thing life offered me,' and she was wrong; if she knew the truth about him, she wouldn't think that. I wish I could open up and tell her everything; I wish I didn't have to lie, but now more than ever she didn't need to know the truth; she wanted to make a life for herself, and I was happy for her, but a part of me wasn't ready for all these. I needed someone there to shout at me when I was making the wrong step, and she wa

"Pricilla Why are you here?" I asked her."You know why I am here; I just need... your support.""My support? Do you mean money?""I know you might hate me for everything I've done to Axel, but please, I really need your help.""It's not just a possibility, I do hate you. I wonder why you always come to me for financial aid when you could just ask your son/lover Adrain for help. I heard he's now a person of importance over there, the pack should be able to lend him a helping hand, right?""The pack is facing major issues." As always."Meaning they are going broke?""You can call it that; we really need your support.""Too bad, the only person who could help you this time is your son Axel — my beta, so you should go meet him.""No. Axel cannot know about my visits.""Don't worry, I've kept that away from him, simply because you are too much of a disgrace for him to feel bad over.""Please, Alpha. I really need this; I promise this will be the last time."She said that the first time,

RILEYI had never seen Pricilla, Axel's mother. I was pretty sure I hated her, but Axel still cared about this lunatic.I knocked once at his door; there was no response. The door was unlocked, so I pushed the door open and walked in.Axel was shirtless, A bottle of whiskey in his hands and many other empty ones on the table. His eyes were red; he was drunk.I grabbed the bottle from his hands."I didn't recall letting you in," he says with a small frown."Well, I let myself in.""Riley, I think you should leave. I don't want you to see me like this." He says, pulling another bottle from the fridge."Please stop drinking." I pleaded."She hates me, Riley, and I don't even understand what I did so wrong; I was my father's favorite, so what?, how is that my fault, and all these years, she just keeps on punishing me for that.""She has no right to, not after what she did. Axel, she isn't worth this." I say taking the other bottle from his hand and placing it back in the fridge."I'm sorr

.If I wanted Axel to go in search for Thane, then I would have to do my part, I would have to take charge of the pack. That shouldn't be so hard considering I had done something slightly similar, though the difference is that back then I managed a team of ten soldiers, but now, there would be even more people.In times like this, I had to remind myself that I was no longer the little scared wolf, I was stronger now. That brings me back to the subject of ‘Bailey’. I hadn't seen her in the last few days since Thane's disappearance. Of course I hadn't forgotten her threat, she was hiding something then and what if she was involved in all these?What if she had Thane and had somehow managed to keep us from finding out?"Have you seen Bailey lately?" I questioned."No I haven't ; why did you ask?" Axel questioned."I don't know..." I paused, "Forget it.""If you know something, tell me, Riley."All I knew was that Beatrix was now 'free' and that they were both talking about getting ‘somet
