All Chapters of Contractually Yours, Alpha: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

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

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

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

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

RILEYMy father was alive, and maybe he did know where exactly I was, but he never visited, not once.Back in the Windborne pack, I had watched the other pack members with both their parents, but I had only my mother to rely on. I wanted a father; I felt like there were so many things I could learn from him, but he was never there.My mother believed Slade had been my father, and it turned out she was wrong, which means she didn't know who my father was. But Daemon did. Maybe he was lying, but for some reason, I believed him. What I couldn't understand was how he knew so much.In the past, I had wanted to find my father; I could give anything to see him and know who he was, but now, knowing that he was alive and never bothered to check on me or my mother, I concluded he wasn't worth it. I didn't think he deserved to be called a father; all he ever was was a sperm donor. He was no family to me.Yet Daemon said only he could help me get rid of ‘my darkness'. Maybe with that gone, I coul
