All Chapters of Contractually Yours, Alpha: Chapter 621 - Chapter 625

DAEMON’S POV“I think I know where they’ve taken her,” Julia said.“Then we should get going immediately,” I replied, but she shook her head.“We won’t make it to her in time.”“Well, standing here doing nothing isn’t helping—so fucking lead the way.” I was growing restless, and the delay was only making it worse.She reached into her bag and I caught Alexander stiffen, his eyes locked on her every move. I hadn’t even realized she’d been carrying anything.But all she pulled out was a rope. She handed it to me.“What the fuck is this? A rope?”“Not just any rope. It’s enchanted—meant for supernatural beings, especially those with abilities and gifts. If we’re too late and the goddess has already taken over Aliyah’s body, we’ll need this to bind her. It’s the only way to stop her... at least temporarily.”I took the rope. It looked ordinary, but the moment I touched it, I felt the pulse of its magic...“Daemon and I will go find her,” Alexander said. But of course, I could already se

“Getting her to take her own life—that’s not exactly something we can make happen.” I said to Julia.“If she dies,” Julia said, “the magic that keeps the undead army 'alive' will fade and so will they.”Alexander’s gaze was distant as he processed her words. “I’ll let you leave this pack alive and unharmed.

I can work for you—just don’t send me out there.” Julia pleaded and I cocked a brow at her, did she really think we were that naive?“I can’t keep you in my pack. You could be a spy for all I know.”“I’ve told you nothing but the truth.”“That doesn’t change anything.”“Then keep me as a prisoner. Lock me in a cell, but at least they won’t find me.”“Who?” Alexander asked the very same question on my mind.“The other empresses. I deceived them, and

DAEMON’S POVDemons didn’t need sleep to function. In fact, we only did it out of mimicry.I usually never had dreams; all that existed until I awoke was black emptiness. But this time, it was different.I was dreaming about her. Aliyah. I knew it was her with just one look.“Daemon!” she called, throwing herself into my arms, her smile so bright. I knew this was a dream, but a part of me wanted to stay in it forever. I hugged her tightly, breathing in the scent of her hair, her skin.“I’m sorry. None of this would’ve happened if I’d made the decision. This is all my fault, and that’s why I’ll fix it,” I said, even knowing it was only a dream.“This isn’t your fault. It’s mine. I should never have let you go, but I was about to correct that… when they took me.”For a moment, I wondered if this was more than just a dream—if it was something else. A vision maybe.“I knew I’d never love anyone the way I love you and so I went after you to let you know that. But I want you to stop blaming
