Contractually Yours, Alpha Chapter One Hundred and Thirteen
I never thought of myself as beautiful, and maybe he was just saying that out of courtesy.“I... I will show you around,” Felix says as if in loss of words, and Thane gives a nod. I knew Thane didn’t really need a tour; he knew his way around the packhouse; maybe it was more for my benefit.The pack members stopped to stare every time we passed by, bowing as a sign of respect, that was more welcoming than I expected, seeing as Thane had killed their Alpha. They must have hated Slade.Felix talked about everything—from the painting on the wall to the rooms and who they belonged to.“This part of the packhouse belongs to the commander and high- rank,” Felix droned on. I only caught half of what he had said.“I think I would take over from here,” a woman—not just any woman, but Bailey says. I had been lost in thought; I didn’t realize her heading towards us. “I am Elder Bailey,” she introduced as if Felix didn’t know that already.“Welcome back Elder.” He responds.“You could leave us no

Thane was in a red cloak; his amber eyes seemed a shade darker. I hadn’t realized how tall and intimidating he was till now; there was something about him that was... Threatening.I had this feeling that something bad was about to happen. Maybe it had to do with the fact that Thane, who I had shared the same room with for the past months, hadn't even stared at me once; I might as well have been invisible. I could sense the aura around him, forcing my wolf to bow in submission. Tonight he was indeed different.Bailey led us to the underground structures that had good resemblance to a cave. All the while, I couldn't shake away that feeling that something was off. I was about to walk forward, but Axels’ hand on my shoulder restrained me.“What?” I questioned.“We wait here,” Axel informed me.Bailey and Thane walked forward, leaving us behind, her hand wrapped around his, and my chest tightened. They stopped in the middle of the room.“Alpha Thane of the Nightshade pack, you’ve met all th

One by one, the pack members went down on their knees at the sight of Thane with the crown on his head. He was in nothing but the red robe, yet he looked intimidating as ever. He was an epitome of pure power. He came to a stand on the Dias, Bailey by his side, just about where I was supposed to be.“Today a new king emerges, chosen by the moon. He gives you an option for each and every member of this pack. Knowing your Alpha is dead, would you return back to the Nightshade pack, as it had been, or would you prefer a new leader elected to rule this pack?” Bailey presented.Commander Felix walked forward.“If I may, my king,” he began with a bow. “The Newblood pack could run into total poverty if not presented with a good leader with influence, and we have none of that. We agree to become a part of the Nightshade pack, as it had been before the split.”“And do you all agree to that?” Bailey questioned.There was a chorus of yesses, almost like they had planned it out.“We would become o

“You love me?” I asked; I couldn’t believe he had said those words.“Yes, I do. I love you, and I am obsessed over you.“You never did need me... at least not to claim the crown,” “Every single day I wonder why I took you; maybe I always knew what I felt for you, but I hid it, Riley. I hid it from you, from Axel, and from myself. Even if I had managed to convince the pack, my father, and the elders that you were my mate, I knew I could never deceive the moon goddess, and Axel didn’t even know that,” Thane says.“Yet you choose me.”“I fell for you, just the same way you did me.”“I love you too, Thane, for now and forever,” I said, and he smiled, lifting me up so I could kiss his lips.“Maybe you could show me just how much you love me,” he says, and I knew just how to do that.~Waking up in Thane’s arms was completely different. I felt complete; I had never felt this happy my whole life, and staring at this fallen angel before me, I let myself accept it, accept the fact that he wou

My life felt like a dream come true.I couldn’t believe he had admitted that he loved me; a part of me had been ready to live without it. I was ready to punish myself with the one-sided love. Never in my life had I been this happy, not with Ryker, not with anybody, and... Sometimes, good things like this don’t last. But I was determined to fight for what we had and I was glad to know I won’t be fighting alone.We had returned to the Nightshade pack, and it felt different, maybe because I was returning to this place as the Queen Luna, or maybe because I knew that I had found my other part.The Nightshade pack had become one of the biggest packs in the world, and with the workforce doubled, many other packs were wary of this kind of growth. There was a meeting taking place in a few hours, the first ever meeting that I would be attending; this time it won’t be Beatrix taking my place, but unfortunately Bailey was coming with us for whatever reason Thane thought she should. I, on the othe

The aura in the room from every Alpha was almost unbearable.I could only recognize two of the Alphas present, Trent and, of course, Ryker. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten about him, and I never did bother to ask Thane if he had been released. It was safe to say that I had moved on from him, and now when I stared at him, I feel nothing. No anger, no pain, no regret. If he hadn’t treated me the way he did, I would never had met Thane..Everyone rose to their feet when Thane and I walked in, and we took out seats at the head of the table. Bailey stood a good distance behind us.Most of the Alphas were present with their Luna and Beta.“I hear you all would like to speak to me,” Thane questions, going straight to the point.“Yes, this is a dire matter." One of the Alpha’s says. “It has to do with the land and territories which once belonged to the New Blood Packs.”“What about it?” Thane asks.“We wonder if those territories could be split to widen the neighbouring packs.”“And why s

~~Riley, meet me in my room now.Mom....That was all the letter said. A maid had dropped by to pass me the written note clearly from my mother. I wondered why she wanted to see me.I quickly got dressed and headed for my mother’s.The door to her apartment had been left wide open, and so I walked in, slamming the door shut after I did."Mom,” I called, walking into the apartment. “Mom, I saw the letter,” I called out again.Finally I saw her; she sat on one of the cushions, tears streaming down her eyes. I rushed towards her.“Mom, what’s wrong?” I asked.“Riley”"Yes, I am here, mom. What happened?”“Seat down with me, would you?” she asked.I stared at her, puzzled. Still I sat.“Riley, I want to talk to you, and all I need you to do is listen to me.”“Okay, I can do that.” I said, hiding the panic I felt. I knew something was wrong."Good,” she says, and it took a minute before she started. “Do you know I once loved Slade?”“What?”That I didn’t expect.“I... maybe the problem w

“You were pregnant with me?” I repeated; it didn’t make sense. Why did she never bother to tell me this?“Do you know what this means?”“It means the monster is my father.” I began; she stared at me as if expecting me to figure something out, and finally it was clicking. If Slade was my father, then...“Alpha Thane is your brother Riley.”“What?”“I’m so sorry, I should have told you a long time ago; this is all on me; it is my fault, and I know it, but please...”“No. I don’t believe you, mother; you are lying, right?”‘No, baby, I am not, and you know that.”“I don’t know that! I don’t know you anymore; the only thing I know is that you never want to see me happy. Why, mother? Why do you want to take away the one good thing in my life, the one thing that finally makes me happy?”“I wanted to tell you Riley, but you told me it was all a contract and you would leave him. I was hoping that would happen; then maybe I could tell you at a later time, but you love him and things are gettin

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
