Lahat ng Kabanata ng Contractually Yours, Alpha: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

Thane nodded to Axel, and he walked forward, picking me up and placing me ‘roughly’ over his shoulders, but Thane remained with Ryker.I didn’t care what would happen to Ryker, but I feared this was the last time I would ever see him.The walk back to the pack house seemed shorter, and that was strange considering we hadn’t even run. Axel had said nothing all the way back.I couldn’t bear to look at anyone as Axel took me back into my room. I didn’t care what anyone thought; what I worried about was what was going to happen to me.Axel shut the door and dropped me on the bare floor.“Axel...”“Shut the fuck up,” he warns. Never had he spoken to me in this manner.Exactly fifteen minutes later, Thane walked in. I scurried away from him, but it was no use; no matter how hard I tried, I wouldn’t be able to escape this.“Riley stand,” he orders, and I do as he said, but my feet are too shaky. “Did you take us for fools?” he asks, and I shake my head vigorously.“No, no, it was a mistake.”

“You were never going to leave me all on my own in the woods, were you?”"No,” Axel answered.“You knew that I wanted to leave,” I stated. Of course they weren’t fools. It had been too easy, and I should have suspected it. I could tell them the truth; tell them Beatrix had helped me; after all, she had only sent me off to be captured by Ryker; I didn’t need to protect her.“It had been a test, Riley; one Thane didn’t think you would fall for; those girls are captives. Once in a while, some very foolish packs still decide to go on an all-out war with our pack, and when we conquer them, their members are being taken as captives. The females are given options. They could buy their freedom,” Axel explained, and I did know what he meant by ‘buying their freedom’. “The rest are released after a few years to roam about as rogues or serve the pack if seen fit.”“So Beatrix bringing me down to the Chambers was part of the test?”“No, she hadn’t intended for us to find out, but did you really t

Trent had been about to say something when a figure behind me stopped him.“I’ll like to have a dance with my Luna if you may.” Thane’s voice called from behind me, and Trent nodded, giving me a small smile before walking away. Thane took his position.“I don’t know; I’m not very interested in dancing anymore." I say to Thane, and his dark eyes pierced into me.“Are you intentionally trying to annoy me, princess? You might not like how that goes,” he says, his hands circling my waist and going lower. I felt them on my ass.I had no underwear on.Thane swirled me around; he was indeed a good dancer, I dare say, better than my previous partner; his movements were graceful, and in his hands anyone would think I was a good dancer too, but what was alarming was how close his hands trailed to the slit. For the next turn, he dipped me, lifting me up, only to guide my legs around his side; the slit fell apart slightly, revealing skin; his hands trailed up the skin; right in the open, my whole

I walked into the cell, Thane remained outside but the cell door was left open.The room was dark, and the only source of light was the one coming from the entrance. My eyes settled to the dim light, and there Ryker was, but I could barely recognize him. He was a bloodied heap; the only sign that he was still alive was the steady rise and fall of his chest.“Riley?”I didn’t know how he could tell it was me; he surely wouldn’t be able to see me with those swollen eyes that were mostly shut.The slight fear threatened to rise when I recalled all he had done to me and the pain he had caused me, I pushed the fear away, reminding myself that here he wouldn’t be able to hurt me, not now, not ever. I walked closer to him, close enough that the cold metal gun came into contact with his head. But to my surprise, he pulls forward, as if accepting his fate, the chains around his arm and legs rattled.“I know what I have done to you Riley; I know I have caused you so much pain, and it is a despe

I wanted to hurt him so bad. And I knew I would regret my words, but I said it out anyway."Maybe that's why Bella never wanted you; this was why you were never blessed by the moon goddess to have a mate that actually 'stays alive'; if you were more selfless, then you would have noticed that something was very wrong with her, but you loved the idea of your happiness so bad, you didn't care." I spit at him, immediately regretting it. It was a low jab, but I had been so angry at everything, and I wanted to hurt him so bad.His eyes on me were cold as steel. I stared at the door, wondering how long it would take me to get there, but again, there were those scary-looking guards out there; they were not going to let me through if not permitted by ‘him’. Thane pulls me flush to him—that I didn't expect. He leaned, so his lips were against my ears."You are right, I didn't want to look too deep, afraid I wouldn't like what I saw, but aren't you the same? There must be a reason your mother ha
