All Chapters of The Alpha's Contract Mistress: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

The painting was of a beautiful woman with glowing skin. She had red hair, just like Eloise’s, and big dreamy blue eyes. For some reason, she seemed familiar but I couldn’t quite place where I’d seen her. She was bound with chains of gold…That’s when it finally did click. The woman in the picture I'd given Eloise, was the very same woman in this painting, only her details were more clearer now in contrast to the washed picture. Mira was said to have disappeared years ago, and no one could tell for sure if she was dead or not, but this painting seemed to be trying to communicate that she wasn’t, and that my suspicion that she was being held by Darth could actually be true.Darth. Of course, it was Darth. It would take a powerful sorcerer to impersonate a werewolf like Gideon and have almost everyone fooled into believing it was actually him. But we weren’t his target—not even Gideon was. His target had always been Eloise, and he’d used Gideon to get close to her and now he had her.

CASSIAN’S POVThe Cathedral was located in the far North, further out that most pack lands on the North were planted. I’d abandoned my car a few hundred meters away, and continued on foot. Finally, I spotted the building. The building had been overridden with vines, its walls cracked, like they were a few years away from crumbling down. Still the closer I went, the more I’d felt it—the magical presence. The building had no doors and so I headed towards an entry, only to walk into what I could only describe as an invisible wall. Of course Darth wouldn’t have left the place unprotected. I looked up to find a few windows opened, so I climbed in through the third window.The inside was worse, the vines covered up the ceilings and a few passages were completely blocked by them.“Finally decided to show up?” questioned a feminine voice I instantly recognized. “You kept me waiting.” I turned to face Octavia, realizing this was indeed a set up.“What are you doing here?” I asked.“I am here

Defeating Keith might have suppressed the chaos uprising in the pack, but I could sense it was far from over. I should address the pack members, I should assure them everything was going to be fine—or at least try to, but for the first time in my life, I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t pretend like everything was fine because it wasn’t.It's been three hours since I'd returned back to the pack with Gideon who'd been unconscious. Now I sat in the waiting room, awaiting the healer's report. After what felt like an eternity, Stella stepped out of the ward and I rose to my feet.“How is he doing?” I questioned.“He's awake,” she said and relief flooded through me, “But he has refused to let us run any kind of test or check up on him. He insists he has to speak to you first.”I let out an exasperated breath, before heading for the ward.I walked in to find Gideon seated on the bed, still looking as bruised and pale as I remember, but at least he was awake and that was something.“Leave us,” he

KATALIER’S POVCassian had informed me Gideon was back and wanted to see me. I should have gone to him; I should have checked on him and yet I didn’t. Maybe it was the fear that it still wasn’t him and Darth was simply playing a very cruel game, or the fear that it actually was.For so many years, I’d locked up the memories of the torment I’d suffered in the hands of Nathan in the deepest, darkest part of my mind, and I allowed myself to believe I’d escaped it. But that was a lie, Darth proved it. The sorcerer had reached into those depths and pulled open the doors, letting each and every one of the demons I’d locked away, all out. The memories were fresh—too fresh, almost like no time at all had passed. And every day since then, I was forced to live with them, I was forced to remember what true pain and fear felt like, I was forced to remember what it felt like to be stripped of choices and made into something much lower than a living person.Now Gideon stood before me, finally free.

CASSIAN’S POV “My daughter is being held captive—by Darth?” Lenoard repeated, still in shock from the news I’d shared with him. “Eloise doesn’t deserve this, she truly doesn't,” he muttered to himself. “I’ll get her back,” I promised. I’d spent the past week trying to track the sorcerer down, but my findings had yielded little to no result. It was like Darth had vanished from the face of the earth, and he’d taken Eloise with him."He'd been after her all these years, how do you know she's still alive?""Because he needs her alive. Eloise is not dead." Those words were me reassuring myself that I was right. I'd refused to think of any other possibilities.“You must find her—you can’t let him hurt her,” he said, and though he tried to mask it, there was fear in his eyes. “I’ll find her,” I assured once again, or I might as well die trying. I turned around, heading for the door, “Wait!” he called and I paused, turning back to him. “There’s something else you need to know—about Eloise.”
