Semua Bab Contractually Yours, Alpha: Bab 221 - Bab 230

Thane's hand unconsciously tightened around mine in a gentle, reassuring grasp."You want to know the truth? then here it is." Bailey started, her voice laced with venom as she settled on the cold floor. "You tricked me, Thane Blackwood. You took me for a fool. We made a deal, a deal you weren't willing to keep. I betrayed my people for you, and what did I get in the end?Nothing.I was pathetic to have trusted you, but it took only a while for the doubt to set in. I saw the way you looked at her; you were never going to let her go. Still, I had no other choice but to hold on to your words. Just as I had suspected, you didn't keep to it. When I discovered Nyaos was alive, I knew I had to kill him; if I didn't kill him, then he would find me, and he would kill me very slowly for what I had done.But then I found out Caleb too was alive. I wasn't expecting to see him ever again, but there he was. I was trapped and tortured in ways you cannot even imagine. Give me more reason not to see

I recalled the strange dream I had, where a familiar voice kept on calling out my name, pleading for my help. Why did it feel like it had something to do with these bruises?"Are you alright in there?" Axel asked."Yes, I am fine." I said, quickly putting on my clothes and walking back into the room to join him. "I'm ready."....."Hand me your clothes; I'll keep them safe for our return." Axel says.My hands wrapped around my naked chest; it was an attempt to hide my bruises, the one to my hip had almost completely healed. "We don't want to go butt naked into the pack, do we?" I questioned with a smile.He chuckled at that; his eyes trailed down my body before looking away quickly. "I was checking you out, sorry.""Nothing you haven't already seen." I say, grateful he didn't see the bruise on my ankle.He transformed into his wolf form, waiting on me. I tried, but... it wasn't working. Instead, my wings sprouted out of my back. I willed them in before trying again; this time nothing

"Thane. I need to ask you a very unusual question.” I said to him,"At this moment, I need such unusual questions to take my mind off everything that has been going on lately. So ask on.""Uhmm, so since my return... we've never... uhm, done it and it is okay if you aren't ready yet." I paused, turning red, because he had his full attention on me and he found this funny. "You know what? Forget it.""No, please go on.""No." I say, pulling away from him and heading to the couch."Don't be like that; I promise I won't laugh.""Well, I'll just go straight to the point, then... I want to know why you haven't had sex with me yet. There, that's what I wanted to know."He burst into fits of laughter."You said you wouldn't laugh!" I exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger at him, but I did love watching him laugh this so heartily."I'm sorry." He says, but still wouldn't stop laughing."You don't get to be sorry, you little traitor." "There is nothing little about me, Riley, and you of all p

Thane and Axel believed that whoever had helped Bailey escape must be one of the high ranks in this pack, and they were right. The problem was that they trusted me completely, they hadn't suspected me at all, even if the location of the key was only known to Thane and I, yet they rather believed that there was a spare or some other way to get into the cell that they weren't aware of.It had been me. I had taken that key and I had freed Bailey.If I needed further proof, the injuries I had noticed on my body, those same ones I couldn't remember how they came to be, was all the proof I needed, and yet... yet I didn't want to believe it. I just couldn't."I didn't do this, Bailey." I insisted, but the tears streaming down my face contradicted my very own words."I'm sure you had a reason.""No, I would never do anything like that." She snorted at my words. "You've done something similar before, so don't give me that 'I am innocent' crap.""You made me do this...I don't know how you did

I ran my hands through my hair over and again, frustrated. They needed to know, but due to Bailey's command, I couldn't tell them. What if I could… improvise?I took out a pen and paper, with shaky hands I wrote; 'Thane. I want you to know something: I killed them. Those soldiers who were dead, I did that; I had been the one who freed Bailey too; she has this control over me, she controls my mind, and I can't even explain it. I didn't want to kill those men, they've done nothing wrong to warrant me doing that, but I did anyway because she asked me to. You can't trust me, Thane; she would use me against you.’I paused writing, staring at the paper where I was almost sure that I had been writing on. There were no words on the papers, just lines; that's all I had been writing; the words had been in my mind, and I thought I was penning them down, but I was only writing down gibberish.I gasped. Taking steps backwards till I came in contact with the wall.I couldn't write it down because
