Contractually Yours, Alpha

CHAPTER 1— Death And Escape. ~Rowena~ "No!" A helpless scream tore out of my throat as a sickening slashing sound pierced through the air, sending shockwaves of terror down my spine. "It can't be real," I choked out. Tears flooded my eyes, blurring my vision with each bitter drop that fell. I blinked uncontrollably, trying to stop it because they reminded me of a cruel reality. My father, Alpha of the Shadow pack, crumpled to the ground like a twig. His once strong body was now limp and his vacant gaze bore into mine. How could I be so useless? I wondered, glaring at my trembling arms. I yearned to lash out at those responsible for my parents' deaths, but I knew I was outnumbered and outmatched. No matter how hard I fight, I wouldn't change the outcome of my death and their freedom. I approached the scene gingerly, clamping my hands over my mouth to stifle the second scream that threatened to explode from within me. It was reduced to pathetic wh

CHAPTER THREE— Unconcious ROWENA'S POV The sounds of footsteps made my ears perk up and I quickly stood up in alert as I prepared myself to fight. Did they follow me out here? I thought I had lost them after I had crossed the border, I guess Luca had permitted them to cross the border. "Alpha, why did you ask us to leave all of a sudden?" A man asked, I sniffed quietly and from the awful smell that met my nose, I didn't need a genius to point it out to me that they were rogues. What had they done though? What are they discussing? This isn't their territory, it has been known to all that troubles always go wherever rogues go, I guess I am one of them now. I stood still and tried not to alert them and not give out my hiding spot. "We were on their territory, it wouldn't be long before the beta or a pack warrior came across us." the man who I now recognize as the Rogue Alpha spoke. I held my breath as I properly hid myself while also listening in on their conversation. "What

Chapter 5— A deal. Rowena's POV "I will have so much fun with you once Bradford is done with you." One of the guards growled while I rolled my eyes. I dare him to come forward and say shit to me again. A proud smile settled on my face remembering how hard I slammed my head to his. It hurts like a bitch but I was glad it had the impact I wanted. "Maybe I will be the one having more fun with you." A cold, strong voice came from the door. My head jerked towards the intruder and I saw the male I saved. "A... Alpha, I didn't know you were awake already." The male muttered, bowing his head. I could see his fingers trembling. Alpha. He had the aura of an Alpha and I remembered someone had referred to him as that. That could also explain how someone who had been fully injected with silver was back to their feet in a day. Two? Fuck! I had no idea how long I had been locked here. My eyes narrowed on him and I was sure that hatred and anger were very evident in my eyes. "Yo

Chapter 7— A strange feeling. Rowena's POV It was a few nights before the day of the Luna ceremony, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional. My mind drifted to when Liam and I had first found out we were mates, and how excited I had been. Liam, Aaliyah, and I both grew up together, I grew up having a little crush on Liam and when I found out that he was my mate, I was more than happy. I could remember how I had screamed into the night thanking the moon goddess for making him my mate and how lucky I was... well, I guess I was wrong on that part. I sighed as I let my eyes wander at the serenity through my windows. Staying in this pack and getting myself an ally was a good thing but in the way I have chosen? Well, that wasn't but I had no choice. A short knock on the door pulled me back to reality, I cleared my throat in an attempt to clear my thoughts. "Come in," I called and the door knob turned slowly, and in, walked in my soon-to-be baby's daddy. "Hi," he greeted.

Chapter 9— Blabbermouth.Ryker's POV"You've found your mate" Rowena beamed as she walked towards me and I froze. Goddess! It was like I was seeing her in a different light, the way her eyes twinkled as she smiled, a one sided dimple on her left cheek.I swallowed, quickly averting my eyes away before I let these feelings overcame me."This is good news. Is it someone I know?" She bugged. She asked with genuine curiosity and happiness that for a moment I was almost tempted to tell her that it was her. That the moon goddess had made her my second mate."You must have misheard." I cleared my throat as I answered her with a straight face. Enzo kicked against my answer. After the betrayal from Elly, I wasn't ready to have a mate yet— a real mate."You didn't?" She frowned and I nodded.The smile wipe off from her face and her hold on me instantly slackened before she moved away from me. "But I heard—""—You heard wrong" I cut in."Besides, you shouldn't walk into my office without knockin
