Contractually Yours, Alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 601 - チャプター 610

DAEMON’S POVEarlier…I stood before the house I had set ablaze, watching as it burned to the ground.I was a fool to believe I could ever have a silent life. Part of me had craved that kind of peace, while another part longed for more—wanting to rule and, at the same time, have the girl I loved by my side. I wanted both, and that was the problem: I could only choose one.I picked wrong.I stared at the amulet, the only thing I had retrieved from the house I had set on fire.I had promised to protect her; I had promised to keep her safe and away from harm’s way, and I failed. The moment she was taken, I returned to the castle to find her, but the empresses weren’t as unwise as they had been before. They had found the strongest witches and sorceresses to cast a spell on the castle, preventing my entry. The spell was strong enough to serve its purpose, but it must’ve drained those who had cast it. They would need months to recover.But like every spell, it would fade eventually, and tha

ALEXANDER’S POVI watched Daemon as he walked around the hall, spacious enough to contain at least a hundred people.“It’s soundproof, so this should do.”Daemon turned to me. “I’m sure Thane and Riley would be proud of you and what you’ve done with the pack. You know, I did rule for a short while—back when I pretended to be your father, Thane,” he said, a smirk spreading across his face. “It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.”I had forgotten that—Daemon had the ability to take on different forms. My first instinct was to demand what had happened, but something told me Daemon had brought it up hoping I’d take the bait. So I held back my curiosity.“I find it strange. Most of the abilities the Empress possesses are similar to those of a demon. They can shift—move from one place to another in matter of minutes. They can take on different forms, like Cynthia did… control minds, wield fire…”“Come to think of it, that’s true,” Daemon replied. “Maybe their so-called ‘god of light

Phil and Austin had been left in charge of the pack.Alexander had tried convincing me to stay behind, but if Cynthia was going down, it would be my blade that stopped her heart. No one would take that away from me.“Hold on to me,” Daemon said. Alexander hesitated, then moved closer, pulling me to his side. His hands wrapped around me, keeping some distance between me and the Demon Overlord. In the blink of an eye, we were no longer in the room.Darkness engulfed us—so thick I couldn’t even see my own hand. The only thing keeping me from panicking was Alexander’s hold on me. And then, it was over. We stood in a wide, vast land. There wasn’t a single soul in sight, not even meters away.“Where are we?” I asked.“A short distance from Aureonna City. We’ll have to travel the rest of the way,” Daemon responded.“You couldn’t just spirit us into the city?” Alexander asked his half-brother.“I would have, if I hadn’t been given rodents to feed on. As you must have guessed, their blood isn’

ALEXANDER’S POV“I have to say, you’re far better looking than I remember.” Empress Julia says, walking forward.Of course, it hadn’t taken long for me to realize that our arrival was no longer a secret.“You’ve gotten more wrinkled. Perhaps you need another dip in the Lake of Youth?”Her smile faltered. The Empresses were obsessed with remaining youthful, and that comment had hit its mark.“I know why you’re here.”“Good, because I won’t be leaving till I get what I came for.”“Brave as always. You don’t even mind the fact that you’ve just called an all-out war.”“We’ve been fighting wars ever since I took over from my father. If it comes to that, then so be it.”Julia chuckled. “You seem so confident in your pack.”“That, I am.”“You won’t find her here.” She said, I didn’t know if she was referring to the empress or…“Aliyah. You won’t find her here. She had escaped.”I studied her. Of course, it could be a lie, but something told me she was being truthful. Now, I could see the bag

KAIDA’S POVA batch of seven soldiers stepped into the room—likely the first to respond since they’d been nearby. The noise must have drawn them in.We could easily take them on, but it wouldn’t be long before more came—we didn’t have time to waste.“Walk away while you still can.” I warned.I hadn’t come here for them. They didn’t kill my parents. They were just soldiers—men with families, lives outside this castle. Following orders. Doing their jobs. But of course, my warning didn’t shake them. Why would it? They were soldiers—trained to stand their ground, trained to die if necessary.One glance at Alexander told me he was thinking exactly what I was. He might’ve earned his name as a ruthless alpha, but he never took a life without cause.“Who are you?” one of the soldiers, who seemed to be in the lead, demanded, his hand gripping his sword.Alexander stepped forward, positioning himself right in front of me. I didn't like that he thought I needed protection—I could take care of m
