Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Nine
Three days passed, and Daemon was mostly away from home. I didn’t know exactly where he went all the time, but I assumed it was more demon business. No matter how curious I was, I knew he wouldn’t tell me even if I asked.I could finally move around without assistance, so I decided to make the most of my day—even if there wasn’t much to keep me busy. I swept my hair into a loose bun before heading to the living room.I couldn’t believe I had forgotten about Tasha—the human girl who seemed to have an issue with me simply existing. She was seated on one of the couches, and I took the one opposite her.She looked up at me.“Sleeping beauty finally awakens from her long slumber. He really must be good if he had made you so sore you couldn’t walk for days.”My mouth fell open. How did she know?Then again, she had always been the prying type. I quickly recovered from my initial surprise.“It is none of your business, Tasha.”She scoffed. "I can't quite put my finger on it—I tried to figure

KAIDA’S POV Austin walked into my room. Right on time. “You requested my presence, Alpha.” “Yes. I did. I wanted to know if you’ve gotten anything on Alexander’s whereabouts.” He had told me that if he found anything useful or important, he would inform me immediately, so the fact that he hadn’t meant there was no important news. Yet, I still had to ask. "The only thing I know for sure is he hadn’t joined any of the other packs.” I wasn’t surprised. Of course, he wouldn’t join another pack. The big question was, where could he have gone? He had nobody, no other family members—well, except… “How much do you know about his grandparents?” I asked. Austin looked confused, and then realization dawned on him. “Kate and Sebastian, the visitors he had invited into the pack, were his grandparents? I should have known.” A part of me felt guilty for revealing something Alexander would have wanted to keep a secret, but these were desperate times, and I needed to know if his grandparents c

I hit the ground, struggling to grasp what had just happened. I’d been shot twice. Bleeding out. Dying. Death hadn’t been a concept that scared me until now. I was going to die in the woods, murdered by rebels. No one would ever know what had happened, and then I thought of Alexander. I would never see him again; I would never get to look into those beautiful sea blue eyes, I would never get to kiss those lips. My thoughts went to the pack. I had failed them. They were right—I was never meant to rule. I was not as smart as Alexander, and neither was I as strong. The damp earth beneath me drank my blood, as if hungry for more. I choked on the thick, metallic taste flooding my mouth. The scent was so overpowering it made me nauseous. I tried to move—tried to fight—but I barely managed to crawl a few inches before collapsing again. "I told you a gun would make this easier. But no—you thought rods would be more ‘effective.’ I should’ve let her kill you." The bitter voice belonged to the

I took a quick shower, though every step sent pain shooting through me. Cynthia said it would pass—I couldn’t see that happening anytime soon. But then again, I shouldn’t rely on her words.I stared at the mirror. New bruises covered my body, some deep enough to leave permanent scars—like the ones on my arm and lower stomach, where I’d been shot. I had no idea how Cynthia managed to get the bullet out, but the bruise wasn’t fading anytime soon.All those responsible for what happened to me were now locked in the dungeons. Phil had advised me to delay the trials until I was stronger—it was wise counsel. I couldn’t afford to appear weak before them..I wasn’t sure why I was here, standing in front of Aric’s cell.I unlocked the door and stepped inside. He was pale—no doubt from blood loss—but his injuries had healed. Somehow, he had managed to remove the bullet. The moment our eyes met, his gaze darkened. Even in his weakened state, I could feel his anger."Who did this to you?" he ask

I didn’t need a crowd to witness the trial. I had only invited ten pack members, but no doubt, once it was over, news of what happened here would spread to the whole pack. The trial would take place in the dungeon chamber.Phil and Austin took their positions by my side. I doubted I looked any better than I had a few hours ago, but I was ready to face them. The door swung open, and three soldiers dragged in the rebels—Stark, Luthor, and, of course, Kade. The very one who had shot me.The moment they spotted me, they went pale.The soldiers didn’t have to force them to their knees—they went down willingly.“We… you shouldn’t be alive. There’s no way you could have survived that,” Stark said, disbelief clear in his eyes. “It shouldn’t be possible…” he kept muttering to himself.“Silence," I said, and they fell quiet. The tension in the room thickened with each passing second. "This is how this will go—you speak only when I ask you a question."They nodded, but Stark still looked uncerta

The effects of the wolfsbane were almost immediate. Soon, the pain had them crying out, pleading, and begging even more desperately. They wanted me to ‘make it stop.’ I watched them, forcing away the flicker of sympathy I felt. Rebels or not, they had once been my pack—my people. And even though they had to die, a part of me wished it didn’t have to be this way.I had believed Alexander was a ruthless killer—there had been no sympathy in his eyes when he ended those who rebelled against him. But for the first time, I wondered if that was a facade, if deep down, there had still been the tiniest trace of sympathy."You ask for mercy, but I believe it would have been different if your plan had succeeded," I said, though I wasn’t sure if they could even hear me through the pain. Blood poured from their ears, nose, eyes, and mouth—a horrifying sight.I didn’t want them to suffer anymore. They had paid their price. So, I drew my gun and fired three times. The bullets embedded in their foreh

I was heading toward the huge gates when a voice stopped me.“Who are you, Miss?” the uniformed man asked. A guard. I realized.“I came to see Alexander Blackwood," I said. Of course, I wasn’t even sure if he lived here. Austin had given me the address, but what if it was wrong? What if this house belonged to some stranger?“Do you have an appointment with him?” the guard asked.My heart lurched. That meant he was here—the man had recognized the name."I need to see him right now," I said urgently. The only other way in was to climb over the high gates—not a difficult task for me—but something told me more guards were waiting inside.“Are you a relative?” the guard asked. I had no time for his questions.“No. I am his mate.”A moment of silence passed, and only then did I realize I was speaking to a human, who also thought I was human.“I’m sorry, miss, I can’t let you in unless you have an appointment with him.”“I am his wife!” I bet he would understand that term.“Mr. Alexander didn

One after another, I seemed to be discovering my greatest fears. I wasn’t as fearless as I had believed. When I thought I would die in the woods, I had been afraid. And now, as I stood before the love of my life, watching the naked women crowd around him, I realized this was another of my fears.Strangely, in the six hours it took me to get here, I had imagined countless scenarios—but not this. I had always known Alexander’s love for women, but he had changed for me. And now… he was back to the man he used to be.I couldn’t say another word—I just stared at him. And then, suddenly, anger surged through me.“I want to speak to you, alone.”“Well I don’t, and you cannot make demands here.”What did that even mean?“Alexander, I don’t know what the hell is going on with you, but we need to talk.”“Then talk.”The women, sensing the tension, drew back.“So this is what you’ve been up to? Drinking and having your ‘fun’ while I was back at the pack, waiting for you—wondering what I did wrong

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.
