Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Contract Bond With The Enigmatic Alpha: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

MandyI turned to face him. I met his eyes with a calm I didn’t feel. The words I wanted to scream lodged in my throat.“I’m an Alpha. It’s my responsibility to protect my pack and its members. Claire is part of my pack. It is my duty to help her in times of need.” What about me? I’m your mate. When will you protect me?But in the end, I chose to shut it. Instead, I forced a faint smile that didn’t reach my eyes. “There’s no need to explain, Matthew. I understand perfectly.” His shoulders eased and his expression softened. He thought he’d diffused the situation, but he couldn’t see the fury raging inside me. The silence hung awkwardly between us until Claire yawned. She was struggling to stand and wobbled. Her balance was conveniently failing her. Matthew, her savior, caught her before she could fall. “Careful,” he murmured.Claire apologized with a pitiful smile. She was claiming the small cut on her knee was affecting her ability to walk. Without hesitation, Matthew scooped her

MatthewI couldn’t stop looking at Claire. Her face was pale. There was a white bandage covering her head, and a few scratches on her face from the shards of glass that had hurt her from the fall. She looked pitiful, but was breathing peacefully and alive.Still, I couldn’t believe it was my own mate who did this to her.Mandy was never violent. Sure, she was sarcastic with the way she had treated Claire, but Mandy never openly expressed her disapproval of her. After all, we already talked, right? I already told her the real score between me and Claire. We were not an item, nor was she my mistress. We were just good friends. Whatever love I felt for Claire was nothing but platonic. She was part of the pack I was leading, so I had to help her as much as I could. I thought Mandy understood. But apparently, she didn’t.I sat beside Claire’s hospital bed, waiting for any sign that she was waking up. I couldn’t shake the worry that had settled in my chest the moment I saw her hurt.I just w

Mandy I woke up with a drilling pain hitting my temples. My brows scrunched as my head kept throbbing along with my breath. I never really learned my lesson. Alcohol was such a cursed drink, drawing you deeper into fun. But in the end, this massive headache would totally make you think about your life’s choices. Whatever the heck I ate last night, I could feel it slowly rising, touching almost the end of my throat. I slammed my face into my hands to cover it up. I swallowed a thick saliva to push it back. I opened both of my eyes only to notice I was in an unfamiliar room. The white ceiling above me spun rapidly. I couldn’t remember the last day I was befriended by a hangover. Then panic slapped me in the face. “This isn’t my room!” I exclaimed, quickly sitting up on the bed. The blanket slid down and my naked body was exposed. “Why the hell am I naked?” I tried to jump back in time, but not a single thing came up in my mind aside from Abbie’s face, who kept asking me to d

MandyAll of my family was sitting in the living room. The maids were also around, ready for today. I was only informed about this last night. I thought things were going well, until my dad mentioned that I got back just right in time.“We should have done this in the council room instead,” a slight hint of hesitation mixed with Beta Leroy’s voice.“The council room is solely for business. They’re here to talk about the merging of our families. It is only right to discuss that here.”Beta Leroy didn’t say anything after that. He’s always been a submissive council to my father. Among the other council members, he’s the only one my father treated not just as a subordinate, but as a friend. Beta Leroy was part of my family already, and he’s here to help my father discuss my upcoming wedding.My father turned his eyes on me and gave me a smile like he was saying our future is in my hands now. I smiled back like everything was fine but deep inside I was dying to get up. I wanted to run but

MandyI went to the shop on my own accord. My father didn’t have to ask me. I would still bring my foot on the doorstep of this shop, even if it means I have to drag myself.Since this was just a wedding out of business, I was standing out along with the fine silk of white wedding dresses and the sweet smile of the future brides. Not because there is something special with me, but simply because I was wearing the most grave expression while walking around the aisles. Almost bearing little to no expression as I scanned through the dresses. There are no fairy tale-like moments with someone, and no magical dust flying around me.There was no spark at all. Just a casual day of buying something. Unlike everybody else.I wasn’t expecting the place to be this crowded. All of the mirrors were occupied by a woman who checked every detail of the dress.“It’s meant to be, my dear. Take it.”A voice emerged behind me.“Really, Mom?”I turned around and witnessed the smile plastered brightly on th
