LENA

It was the first words I have said since an hour of silence and not wanting to read her expression or reply, I shoved her gently to get inside.  

When I did, his name was all I called;  

"Zain!"

My eyes searches for him through the corners and I could hear the stomping feet of yera behind me.  

"Hey, stop acting like a mad woman in my house! How can you be his wife?"  

I spur around to look at her as she stared at me in disgust. Did she fucking say this is her house?  

A place I built with my sweat, blood and tears?

"I'd call the security on you if you don't leave!" She brawled infuriated as she reach out for my shoulder blade.  

Yera was annoyed just like I was.

I almost said a word when i heard zain's voice from adjacent where I stood.  

He was coming from his room in an Ice Wolves hoodie, staring at me with an expression that depicts hate and detest or panic rather.  

The Ice Wolves logo across his chest felt like a blade.  

"Lena" he whispers and then dart his gaze to Yera who strides to his side.

"It's not true right? I mean it's just a joke? I couldn't make it and...and she took my place? You aren't dating right?" I began smiling, trying to hide the shock in my eyes and even though I was shivering.

Yera purposely shoved the ring in her index finger to my face and he said;  

"Cupcake, please can you stay in the room for now, I'd handle this woman"  

Yera eyed me as he kissed her passionately. With no words, she faded to the room.

My diluted eyes fetched his burning gaze as the vein around his neck tightens.  

"It's true. I'm getting married Lena, you shouldn't ruin this for me by appearing here!"  

"What?" I struggled to muttered as my throat burns.  

"Then what happens to me! How could you!" I screech clenching my fists.  

My whole body sizzles with anguish.

"You're no longer fun, and I never like you, it's yera"  

I stood frozen, his declaration felt like ice shard in my chest.  

"You were having an affair! When all I do is to hold this family together!" I screamed.

He clenched his fists and grit his teeth.  

"You decided to do that, today? What happened to us? The dreams of sticking together?" I calmly questioned.  

Even standing properly was difficult as I couldn't breath, my chest tightened.

"You suffocate me, nothing has ever work for me with you! That's why I took this step" He roars.  

"I need to breath from you Lena, you think everything is about you!"

Silence.  

"Fucking say something Lena!"  

Silence.

"You can't blame me, yera is everything I need, she's an icon and the woman I long to be with. With her, I'd finally get a chance to become a successor to my father the alpha king..."

I was too shattered to even answer.

He was an outcast from his pack, disowned because he was wolfless and we met in college.  

He was a victim of bully and I did my best to stand up for him, to build the confidence he has today as captain of the Ice Wolves.  

Now, I am a problem? Why does it hurt so much that I want to pass out.

My lips parted but no sound came out.  

"I have dreams Lena" his voice whispers in a cold tone as I scoffed with a shaky lips.  

"I just lost my sister..."  

"Lena, I just got my dreams, I can't ruin a happy moment just to solicit with you"

"You should have just divorced me, you should have never proposed, you should have never let me sacrifice my wolf but you heartlessly went on to fool me!"  

There was no wolf in me to growl back. Just empty silence.

He went speechless and said;  

"I emailed you the divorce papers, leave me alone Lena, accept the fact that you're a lonely, clingy woman who wants attention and I can't give that to you"

I sniffed and covered my face. How could he be so heartless!  

Everyone is leaving me behind. First my parents, my sister and now, Zain!  

I couldn't even argue, all I did was pull out my ring and throw it at his face.  

"I wish you a happy, married life" I said in a low tone.

Zain draws in a long breath.  

"What are you saying Lena? Curse at me! hit me, say something to hurt, give me a reason to..."  

He paused and just nodded while squatting to pick the ring.  

"Fine and I hope we never cross path after now"

"Goodbye" I calmly said and turned my back.  

"Aren't you packing your things?"  

"Give it to your miserable wife" I snapped and catwalked to the door.

I spur the door open and shockingly that car was still waiting for me.  

Subconsciously, I got inside the passenger's seat and slammed the door.  

I collapsed on the seat, folding myself like a ball as my hand rise to cover mouth.  

This can't be true, not like this.

"Are you acquainted with him?" The stranger questioned.  

I wasn't in my right state of mind to reply.  

Sniffing, I took my hands from my mouth and sat properly.  

His eyes were gazing at me now, like he'd want to hold me but constrained himself.  

"That's in the past" I responded, leaning to the glassy window.

It was like i want Zain to be out there, running after me, but all see is nothing but the isolated space.  

"Do you have somewhere else to go?" His voice was soothing.  

I'm still not familiar with the face but I don't want to return to my sister's place or else I might kill myself.  

"Take me to your place" I replied acting all sassy rather than soaking my bed with tears.

"Do you trust me that much to take me with you?" He suddenly asked, like he was danger himself.

"As long as you wouldn't murder me" I muttered sniffing.

He grunt softly and whispered; "You asked for it"

  • THE CONTRACT WIFE OF THE DEMON WOLF   SIXTY-SEVEN

    Gary MovesALPHA GARYThe call came before sunrise, when most of the house was still quiet and my security team had not yet started the morning shift. I answered without checking the number because only a handful of people had access to this line, and the man on the other end knew better than to call me unless he had something important.“Zain has confirmed it,” the man said. “Lena Blackwood is pregnant.”I leaned back in my chair and looked toward the dark windows. “And the child?”“He believes it is his.”I gave a small nod, though he could not see me. Zain being the father was useful information, but it was not the part of the report that interested me most.“Is there anything else?”There was a pause before the man answered. “There is a bigger problem, Alpha.”I waited.“The Blackwood bloodline has awakened.”My fingers stopped against the arm of the chair. For several seconds, I said nothing because those words carried more weight than any pregnancy ever could.“Are you certai

    The Alpha Who StayedAARON“Then why are you telling my wife to come back with you?” I asked, staring at Zain across the entrance hall. My voice stayed low, but my demon wolf had already lifted its head, reacting to the tension rolling through the room.Zain's eyes moved from me to Lena, then back again. “Because she is carrying my child, and I have a right to be involved.”“You have a right to be involved with your child,” I said. “You do not have a right to decide where Lena lives or who she stays with.”His expression hardened. “You know the child is mine.”“I know the biological facts.” I stepped closer, keeping my body between him and Lena without blocking her from view. “What I will not accept is you using those facts to frighten her into doing what you want.”Zain gave a humorless laugh. “You think you are protecting her, but you took advantage of her when she was vulnerable.”The accusation hit harder than I expected, not because I believed it, but because Lena had already s

  • THE CONTRACT WIFE OF THE DEMON WOLF   SIXTY-FIVE

    Zain Finds OutZAINI found out Lena was pregnant because one of my father's people mentioned it during a meeting I had not expected to matter. He said it casually, as if he were discussing another business development, but the moment I heard Lena's name beside the word pregnancy, I stopped listening to everything else.“How far along?” I asked, and the man looked at me with mild surprise before giving me the estimate he had heard. I did the calculation in my head immediately, and the answer seemed obvious enough that I did not question it.The timing matched the last period when Lena and I had still been connected. We had been separated for months by then, but I knew the dates well enough to believe the child had to be mine.I sat alone in my office after the meeting and stared at the city through the glass. Lena was carrying my child, and somehow that single fact made every memory I had tried to bury come rushing back.I remembered her in college, sitting across from me with boo

    LENAAaron was still gripping the edge of the table when the pain inside him finally eased enough for him to breathe normally. His face had gone pale, and the words he had just repeated from the demon kept running through my mind.“Use my bloodline to destroy it, or let it consume you,” I said quietly, trying to make sense of what I had heard. Aaron nodded once, and I could see from his expression that he had understood the same thing I had.“The demon believes your power can destroy it,” he said. “If I use you to do that, it may be forced out of me, but I have no idea what happens to you afterward.”“And if you do nothing?” I asked. Aaron looked away before answering.“It keeps getting stronger until it takes control completely.” His jaw tightened as he added, “Eventually, there may be nothing left of me for you to save.”I refused to accept either choice. There had to be another way to separate Aaron from the demon without turning my bloodline into a weapon or allowing the creature

  • THE CONTRACT WIFE OF THE DEMON WOLF   SIXTY-THREE

    AARONThe sentence from the Blackwood record stayed in my head long after Lena stopped speaking. I read it again, then looked through the pages beneath it, searching for anything that could explain what the word ‘command’ meant.There was nothing useful in the remaining pages, so I opened the oldest Krane records we had brought out. I had spent years searching those files for an explanation of the demon, but I had always searched for a curse, a weapon, or a person who had done this to me.Now I was looking for Lena. That realization made the old records feel different in my hands.One damaged registry changed everything. It contained a reference to a Blackwood descendant whose identity had been protected by my grandfather decades earlier, along with instructions that her location must never be recorded in council documents.I stared at the name Blackwood until the letters blurred. My family had known someone was searching for her long before I was born.“My family knew,” I said, and

  • THE CONTRACT WIFE OF THE DEMON WOLF   SIXTY-TWO

    RAINAI had started looking into our family because I found a name in one of Mother's old boxes that I did not recognize. At first, I thought it was nothing more than another relative she had never talked about, but the way she had folded the paper and hidden it beneath old photographs made me keep searching.The name led me to an archived Alpha registry that had been moved three times in less than a decade. I spent two nights comparing old records with newer ones, and each time I searched for the Blackwood name, pages were missing.That was when I realized someone had not simply forgotten to preserve our family history. Someone had removed it.I found the first real clue in a registry from before Lena was born. It described the Blackwood bloodline as something several powerful Alpha families had been monitoring for generations, and one line mentioned a descendant whose identity had to remain hidden.I read the sentence again and again. The record did not name Lena, but the dates le
