Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Nine
I’d seen Aric fight before, seen him furious and full of rage, but I had never seen him completely lose himself. He moved with astonishing speed, lunging at her and landing a brutal punch to her face, the sickening crack of her nose breaking echoing through the room."You told me she was alive!""You fucking sicko!" Punch."You used me!" Punch.Tears streamed down Aric’s face, his pain sharp and consuming. Despite everything, I understood—losing a loved one was a pain that never truly faded. Everything he had done, every choice he made, was for his sister, driven by the desperate hope of saving her. It was what any big brother would have done—he had fought for her, believing he could bring her back home.Aric had stopped punching her; now he stared at his trembling hands, as if struggling to believe what he had just done. I stepped to his side, ready. Cynthia wasn’t the type to take a beating without striking back—I stood ready, expecting her to unleash whatever ‘magic’ she had on him

Of course, Phil and Austin didn’t think facing the Onyx Pack’s Alpha unarmed and unprotected was the brightest idea. I knew the risk I was taking, but I had to do this. My advisors and Aric—who had volunteered to come with me—were the only ones accompanying me.Alpha Derek and his soldiers waited a short distance from the pack borders.His eyes studied me, just as they had in the meeting room—still measuring whether I was a threat. But once again, his expression revealed nothing.I came to a stop a few feet away from him.“I remember telling you that once I come for war, my offer will be off the table,” he reminded.“I didn’t forget, Alpha Derek,” I said, assessing him just as much. The air was thick with tension. The Onyx Pack’s soldiers stood ready, prepared to strike if it came to that. Things could easily turn very messy.“I have an offer for you. You want the Alpha King title? Then earn it.”“That’s what I intend to do when I conquer this pack.”“My offer is even better, but I wo

A knock sounded at my door, and I walked over to let Aric in.“I know what you’re about to say. I know you think what I did was dumb and reckless—”“I think you’re the bravest person I’ve ever known, Kaida. You’re willing to risk your life for a pack that doesn’t even deserve it. The plan might not be ideal, but it was a bold move—one not many would dare to make.”The sincerity in his voice told me he wasn’t just saying this—he truly meant every word. I swallowed the lump forming in my throat. Aric had always been my closest friend; he knew me—sometimes even better than I knew myself. But maybe Cynthia was right. Maybe I was the selfish one.I never knew about his sister. I had always been too caught up in my own goals, and through it all, he had stood by my side. I knew how he felt about me, yet I had pushed those feelings aside like they meant nothing.“Thank you. That means a lot to me,” I said. My eyes drifted to the clock.I had exactly two hours thirty minutes to go.“Are you re

“Let the fight begin!” the announcer’s voice rang out.Derek took his time, his watchful eyes never straying from me. Most men make the mistake of underestimating me in a fight—it always gives me the upper hand. But not Derek. He saw me as an equal, the only obstacle standing between him and the power he must have dreamt of.I walked up to the weapon stand. Guns, wolfsbane, and silver were forbidden in challenges like this—fighters had to rely on skill and strength, and not luck.I picked up two daggers, one for each hand.Derek’s fingers brushed over an axe, and I expected him to take it. A brutal weapon, but heavy—one that would have given me an advantage. Instead, to my surprise, he chose a sword.The smirk on his face told me he knew exactly what I had been thinking.We circle each other slowly; I wait for him to strike, but he doesn’t make the move, so I do.I slashed at him with my daggers, but he blocked every strike with ease before launching his own attack. I dodged, but ther

Maybe this was history repeating itself. My father had given up the Dawn Pack to Alexander and I – I gave away the Nightshade pack to Derek.It is believed that in moments like this—when you're on the verge of giving up—someone dear to you appears, offering words of strength. A vision of a parent, a loved one, a guiding voice to pull you back. I waited for that. I waited for Alexander or my father to appear, to tell me what to do next, to remind me that I wasn’t done yet. But no one came. No reassuring voice, no outstretched hand.There was nothing but darkness.I was alone.I thought about the pack—the people who never believed I deserved the title. I thought back to when I was a little girl, watching the soldiers train and repeating their steps. I remembered the first time I held a gun—the realization that I could so easily end a life was as terrifying as it was thrilling.I remembered how happy and proud I was when I defeated my first opponent—he was a lanky boy who felt insulted f

ALEXANDER’S POV**EARLIER**All I could think about was Kaida. I couldn’t shake the memory of the jagged scar from a gunshot on her midsection. She could have died, and I had acted like it didn’t bother me.‘If you care even a little bit for me, you would come with me,’ she had said. What she didn’t realize was that I cared for her far more than a ‘little bit.’.Transforming into my wolf form was as painful as it was the first time I’d shifted. I tried reining in my wolf, at least until I got out of my building and far from anyone’s sight. But he wanted to be free—I could feel his desperation.I pushed past the guards, heading for the exit.“Sir…” one of the human guards called to me, but I didn’t look back. If I did, he’d notice my not-so-naturally glowing eyes. I didn’t want to scare the poor guy.Taking the stairs or the elevator would have been the normal choice, but my wolf was getting restless. So, without a second thought, I leaped over the railing—and somehow, I landed on my

Lying here on the bed made me feel vulnerable before him, but I didn’t trust myself to stand without getting dizzy. I stared up into those beautiful eyes—so beautiful that, for a moment, I wanted to forget everything that went wrong and just hold him close… No.I shove the thought away.“It didn’t look that way to me. You told me that you’ve found a new life, one I wasn’t part of—it seemed to me that you’d meant exactly what you said.”"I thought I could start over—I wanted to leave it all behind. But I couldn’t. Not because of the pack but because of you. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t let you go."“And those women?” I asked, unable to keep the jealousy from my tone.“I thought using them would help me get over you. But it didn’t.”"It hurts—knowing you were with others. I know we weren’t mated anymore, but I just thought…" My voice faltered. I exhaled sharply, shaking my head. "I can’t do this right now. Just leave."“Not this time. I’m not leaving this time, Kaida.”My eyes

Three days had passed. I was finally discharged with instructions to be careful for the next few weeks.While I was healing, Alexander had taken over the pack’s activities, and for that, I was more than grateful. The weight of the pack no longer rested solely on my shoulders, and that was a huge relief.Now, I thought back to the ‘moment’ with Alexander—the one we never got to finish. I paced my room, debating whether to go to him. I already knew his response: ‘Rest’. He would insist I needed more time to heal. But my body wanted him. It had been so long since I’d had any… action, and I hadn’t realized how much I missed having sex until now.Screw it. I was going to him.I reached for the door, but before I could open it, it swung wide, and there stood Alexander. One glance at me, and I was sure he knew exactly where I was going—and why. In his hand was a jacket, the very one I had left behind at his house.“This belongs to you,” he said, handing me the jacket. I took it from his hand

3ALEXANDER POVI watched her sleep. I couldn’t say exactly when the insecurities set in, but lately she kept talking about how she’d gotten “fat.” She wasn’t—she was pregnant, strong and healthy for an expectant mother.I pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. I’d spend eternity reminding her of her beauty if that’s what it took.It was time for work, but I didn’t want to leave Kaida alone—not with her due date only weeks away. Before heading out, I went to check on Alexa and found she was already awake.“Daddy, take me to Uncle D, pleeeease,” she begged.She was too adorable to refuse, but it was far too early.“It’s still sleeping time; he’s resting,” I said gently.“But Uncle D don’t sleep. He a vampire,” she whispered, as though sharing a top secret. I could have asked where she’d learned that word, but I already knew the answer.Then Kaida’s cry rang out from the next room: “Alexander! It’s coming—the baby…”My heart jolted. I raced back to our room and found her leaning against t

1.***PHIL POVTwo Years Later…I had never felt so nervous.The day had finally come — Selene had turned twenty-one two days ago, and soon everything between us was about to change."Good luck, friend," Austin said to me."You got this," Ruth, Austin’s mate, added, and I nodded.A year ago, Ruth had finally said goodbye to the Winter Pack and joined her mate, Austin. Their reunion had been beautiful, and the pair had been inseparable ever since.I wanted something like that too — though I hadn’t realized how badly until I met Selene.At many points, I had thought about canceling the plan of waiting, but this time, Selene had been the one against it. I refused to think too deeply about the reason behind that.Now I stood by the door to her house and knocked.I waited a few moments; there was no response, so I knocked again.A woman answered — a complete stranger."I’m looking for Selene. Selene Ashford?" I asked."Oh, the Ashfords don’t live here anymore," she said — and my heart drop

“The others are very angry,” Kyiv said to me. “They think I’m on your side, and that’s why I killed Skale. It’s no secret they don’t like me very much, so they’ve requested something from me—to make clear where my loyalty lies.”“And I’m guessing this thing they requested of you somehow involves me.”“That’s right. Let’s look at the pros of this operation. You’d get to leave the cell for a short while—after days of being locked up, that has to mean something. But then the cons: you’d be paraded naked in front of thousands of rogues, bound, and many would want to… touch.”“I have nothing to be ashamed of, but I’m more worried about your little plan with the plane crash. Aren’t you worried the news that I’m alive will leak out?”“I too believe this is a bad idea. Even if I stand to benefit in many ways — I’d finally prove myself a capable leader to the rogues, and the other rogue leaders would have nothing on me. But I still don’t trust their promises to keep the rogues silent, so the n

I stared at the water in the wooden bowl. I was so thirsty.Could anything be worse than this?At least I would have one less thing to worry about—thirst.I reached for it. It was far enough to cause some strain on my already bruised wrist as I stretched for it, and then I took hold of it.Just before I could lift it up, the bowl slipped from my bloody grasp and fell to the floor, the contents splashing across the ground.Fuck.Well,I guess I really have no option now.Something captured my attention — a blackish smoke swirling in the air, growing thicker with every second.Then, through the smoke, Daemon stepped out.“There you are, about damn time. I was starting to wonder if I was at the wrong place,” he muttered.“How did you find me?”“I made a very wild guess.” “Kaida — how is she?”He tapped on the transparent glass, as if testing its strength.“She’s perfectly fine, and she knows you’re not dead. But she might not be too happy about the fact that I didn’t let her come with m

“There’s a slight chance we aren’t dealing with a pack,” Daemon said. “Thank you for this information.”“Wait, you’re leaving me here? I just proved how important I could be.”“Yes, indeed. If you get any other information, just reach out,” he said, then turned around. He was really leaving.“Fuck you.” I muttered beneath my breath.“I heard that,” he called out. “I intended for you to hear that!” I said, but of course he was already gone.My gaze fell on Sebastian, still standing on the other side of the wall. He raised both hands in surrender before backing away. Frustrated, I stomped off..Kate arrived at the pack a few hours later. This time, she brought along her luggage.“You won’t really need all those for a few days.”“No, I won’t. But I’m not planning to stay for just a few days,” she said, walking into her room. I followed with two more of her luggage. “I’m moving into this pack,” she said finally, and I couldn’t deny how surprised I was at that.“Really?”“Yes,” she said,

I walked past the patrolling soldier and Phil, who followed after me.“I thought you said you were leaving? I was worried you’d do something rash, so I came after you.”Good thing he and the other patrollers hadn’t witnessed what happened earlier.“Plans changed. Guess I was about to make a rash decision — but I changed my mind.”“Are you okay?” Phil asked, inspecting me.I knew I didn’t exactly look my best — I’d spent god-knows-how-long in the healing room, then ran straight to pack my bags, dressed in nothing but the white gown the healing wardens had supplied. My eyes must have been red from crying. But every other person in the pack looked the same, if not worse.They were all mourning Alexander—I realized.Many cast pitiful glances at me.“Why did he have to go?”, “He was too young to die,” “He ‘was’ the best Alpha the pack had ever had.”Everyone had something to say about Alexander.I could hardly believe I’d run past all these people without noticing a single thing.

KADIA’S POVI woke up in the healing room.A pair of blue eyes watched me — Daemon. He looked… different, and it wasn’t just the new haircut. There was something about him that made him seem more human."Daemon," I called; my throat felt so dry.He seemed to have already prepared for that. He passed me a glass of water, which I quickly emptied.Everything came flooding back — the news about the plane crash. It became harder to breathe.“Kaida. Calm down.”"He's gone — he was in the plane when it crashed."I yanked out the tubes attached to my arm and rose to my feet. The movement had been too abrupt; the room seemed to spin.I felt hands guiding me back to the bed. I couldn’t hold in the tears.“He shouldn’t have been there. I made him go, and now…”“Stop.” Daemon said, cutting me off. “He is not dead. I visited the site; I didn’t find anything that indicated he was among the ones that died.”“You were at the site?” I asked, my heart speeding up with renewed hope.“Yes. The moment I h

ALEXANDER’S POVMy blurred vision slowly cleared, and I realized I was in what looked like a small, empty room.The wall facing me was made of thick, transparent glass.I couldn’t tell how they managed to get me in here—there was no window or door, only a narrow slot likely meant for passing food and letting in just enough air to keep the ‘prisoner’ alive.I could only assume there was some kind of hidden entrance.My hands and ankles were bound with thick silver chains.The chains felt excessive—I could barely move a muscle.More wolfsbane than I’d ever consumed in my entire life had been pumped into my system, completely immobilizing me and filling me with this nauseating, sickly feeling. I hadn’t realized I was shivering until I noticed the tremble in my fingers.The room was chillingly cold, and with the wolfsbane suppressing my werewolf abilities, I was no exception to the cold. I tried to summon flames. Nothing.Maybe I was just too weak to summon the flames. The crushing feeli

1KADIA’S POVWhen I discovered the news of my pregnancy, I had been so happy. But I knew a lot would have to change.I had to be more cautious—for the baby. That meant I wouldn’t be able to keep training the pack soldiers for much longer. Of course, I’d have to give up that duty eventually and it had become a part of my life. I would have to watch my diet, too. And then there were other things. Like the fact that I would grow big, and I might not look the same. My toned stomach which I had spent years working on would be no more.This had been the type of life I once abhorred, but everything was different now—I wanted this. I could see a future with Alexander, filled with laughter and little kids running around, and the thought made me smile.Lara was the first person to find out I was pregnant.After I discovered the pregnancy test was unmistakably positive, I was as scared as I was excited.Lara happened to be visiting the pack, and we kind of bumped into each other. She was all s
