Contractually Yours, Alpha의 모든 챕터: 챕터 321 - 챕터 330

I didn't sleep all night. Finally, when It was dawn, I rose from the bed and headed into the bathroom, rummaging through the closets for my clothes. They weren't here; I only found a robe, and so I put it on quickly before returning back into the room."Riley. What are you doing? Come back to bed, you need some more rest." Daemon muttered."I'm sorry." I said, and with that I threw the blinds open. He should have never told me about his newfound weakness. The sun burnt his skin, I didn't wait to watch him die. I raced down the stairs and out of the main entrance door, and I froze. The house was practically in the middle of nowhere; snow covered the ground. Where exactly was this place?The drugs he had used on me prevented me from using my wings, and so I ran on my feet; the wild wind blew through my hair, causing my eyes to water, but I couldn't stop running. After a few hours, I slowed down, I couldn't run anymore; My breaths were shallow and foggy, visible in the cold air. With e

RILEY"Change of plans." Daemon said, a frown etched to his face. "You will pay a visit to your pack.""What?" I questioned, this must be some kind of a trick."You heard me right. Maybe I underestimated Thane's feelings for you; I'd rather not take the risk, so it's time to end this off the right way.""End what?""You will say your last goodbyes to Thane, just so he will stop searching. He had involved Bruce, your father, in this, and now I have even more enemies, but it wouldn't be so if you told him how much you love me and how you plan to live the rest of your life with me.""You are going to force me into doing this too?" I asked."Yes, I will.""I will do as you said, but leave the people I care about and every other person out of this.""Of course," he promised. "I'll be back in an hour; I'll leave you to prepare a very convincing speech," he said before leaving me alone. I stared at Daisy's notebook. Could I be able to pass a secret message to Thane without Daemon finding ou

RILEY "Was the hug really necessary?" Daemon asked. "You said I should make it convincing, and I did." "All those things you said back there... did you mean them?" he asked. "You mean when I said you make me happy? No, not really." "You know, you could have lied and said, ‘Yes’." "Did I hurt your feelings? Good, because that serves you right." Daemon's gaze drifted past me to the notebook on the table. "Did you touch the book?" he asked me, and I rolled my eyes at him. "Of course not." I lied. But he walked past me and picked the book up. He scrolled through the pages and paused. "This book is missing a page, Riley." "What do you mean?" "Where is it?" "I'm not in the mood for this..." My words were cut off when Daemon slammed me hard against the wall; my head collided against the wall, and for a moment I felt dizzy. "You little bitch, I did everything for you, and yet, this is how you repay me?" "I don't understand what you are talking about!" I cried out. "Don't play

RILEY POV"Hello, Riley." The woman said, "Don't mind my newly acquired body. Thane did get your message and managed to free me from Hades."Daemon turned to me; I had never seen such hate in his eyes before and this time it was directed at me."Where is Thane?" I asked Jade."He should be here in a few minutes, assuming Bruce got the shifting spell right.""How did you find me?" Daemon asked her."It was easy; we are linked in a way."In a flash, Daemon appeared right before me, gripping me tightly as the black mist swirled around us. He was escaping, and he was taking me with him, I had no right to fight him.But something was wrong; I could see it on Daemon's face. He finally let go of me.It didn't work. We were both still in his room.Daemon let out a cry of pain as he fell to the ground, clutching his ear; blood dripped down his nose. Jade seemed to be doing something to him; her eyes glowed, and her hands were outstretched. She didn't stop till the footsteps drew both our atte

DEMONJade had brought me back to her little hermitage. I've been here before; the small rustic building in the middle of the wood was the closest she had to a home. I was bound to a chair—not that I could escape if I tried, and she knew that.“Daemon. She gave you the name, didn't she?” Jade questioned; I didn't give her a response; I knew exactly what she was getting at. “What was really going through your mind when you had me locked up? Did you think she would leave everything behind and fall in love with you, and you both would have a family?”“Stop talking about her.”“You still care? Even after everything.” She said and chuckled.“No, I don't. It took me time to understand that they are all the same, but now I do, and if I want to meet her again, it will be to end her.”“So you are finally back to your senses; glad to hear that.”“What do you want with me?”“The very same thing I've always wanted. I need you to free Vox.”I had suspected this, but it never made sense why a sorc
