All Chapters of A Contract With An Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

SELENEThe pain came out of nowhere—sharp, scorching, like claws raking through my chest.I was in the middle of folding the baby’s tiny clothes—Lucien had just bought them the day before, whispering against my temple how excited he was to be a father—when the sensation struck me so hard I doubled over.My wolf, Kiera, howled inside me, thrashing.My hands trembled as I gripped the edge of the dresser.This pain… it only meant one thing.Lucien had kissed someone else.And not just anyone.Mira.I knew it deep in my bones.The sacred mate bond didn’t just bind hearts—it punished betrayal.I gasped for air, clawing my way to the bed and curling around my stomach, instinctively trying to protect the pup growing inside me. My tears spilled fast, hot, unstoppable.I tried to mindlink him, my voice shaking as I begged, Lucien, please… please stop. It hurts.Silence.Then, after what felt like an eternity, I felt him—his presence crashing into my mind, guilt and panic flooding the bond.The

SELENEI groaned, my head pounding like a drum. Pain pulsed behind my eyes, and every breath felt like fire scraping through my lungs. I clutched my temple, fingers trembling, trying to hold myself together.“You’re awake, Luna,” Pack doctor Elias said with visible relief, as if the weight of my unconsciousness had been too heavy for him to bear any longer.I blinked slowly, my vision still a blur of shadows and light. My body ached as if I’d been trampled by a dozen wolves.“Here, drink this,” Elias said gently, offering a steaming mug filled with bitter herbs. The scent hit me like a wall—sharp, earthy, and thick with something that smelled like death. I recoiled, pushing the cup away with a weak hand.But then pain shot through me—sharper this time—radiating from my ribs. I cried out, clutching my side as hot tears stung my eyes.“Please, Luna. For your health,” Elias urged, desperation softening his usually calm tone. I hesitated, then took the cup with shaking hands and drank. Ea

SELENEHis lips curved into a smile. I couldn’t see his face clearly due to the darkness, but there was something about him that made me wary—like a sense of danger hanging in the air.“Someone who knows what it feels like to be betrayed,” he said, his voice smooth but laced with something I couldn’t place.I became more cautious, my body instinctively tensing.“What do you mean by that?” I asked, now on edge.He tilted his head slightly. “Why don’t you get into the car and let’s talk about it?” he suggested. His voice was calm, almost inviting.I stared at him for a long moment, uncertainty gnawing at me. Don’t get in, Selene—it could be a trap, Kiera warned in my mind. I bit my lip, torn between my gut feeling and the curiosity that surged through me. After a beat of silence, I made my decision. I opened the door and slid into the car, ready to face whatever consequences lay ahead.I knew it was a foolish thing to do, but honestly, no one would even know if I went missing.The door

SELENE“I said take off the mask,” Zarek said again, this time his voice was cold and deep.The young maid hesitated, her hands shaking so fast before she could reveal her face and pull off the black mask. I could hear my own breath. She removed it slowly.Under the mask wasn’t some stranger. It was a maid Zarek recognized from the way he softened his expression. And she was also one of the kitchen hands—I’d seen her placing cutlery, smiling faintly anytime she saw me pass by.So why was she wearing a mask?Zarek’s eyes narrowed. “Anna?”Her hands trembled for a while and then she nodded.“What the hell were you doing in here with your face covered? And why would you even cover your face to serve the Luna? Who gave those rules?” he asked, his voice tight.Anna looked down. “I… I wasn’t feeling fine. I didn’t want the Luna to see my face looking like this.”I stepped forward. “You’re not feeling fine?”She nodded again, barely meeting my gaze. “Yeah, I had to cover my face. I did that

SELENEKnock Knock Knock Knock“Luna! Selene!” I sat up from the bed, looking so confused, my hair messy all over my face. I heard the knock again, this time it was harder.“Luna, you have to get up.” I threw off the blanket and walked towards the door, I opened it with sleepy eyes and fast breath. “What in the world happened?”Brielle didn’t wait for me to tell her to walk in, she rushed in herself setting the bed that was roughed by me. “You are supposed to be at the fit ground,” she said very fast. “Training started almost thirty minutes ago.” I blinked. “What training?”“The morning training,” Brielle said, moving to the wardrobe. “Everyone trains including the Alpha. It’s the rules, no one should be left aside.”“Well no one informed me, the Alpha didn’t tell me.” I said, my voice barely above a whisper.“Didn’t you read the files in your office?.” I exhaled sharply. “No I didn’t, I don’t even know if I have an office,wait what time is it now?”“Almost eight, the training st
