Semua Bab The Alpha's Contract Mistress: Bab 81 - Bab 90

ROSALIA’S POVThe Netherlands was divided into different zones due to the population of the pack. Zone one was the wealthiest, they had the good jobs, the good houses and everything else the other zones were striving to get. Zone two were for the commoners and mid-level members of the pack. And then there was Zone three. That’s where I grew up.I grew up in a tiny apartment with just my grandma, and grandma’s scrawny little dog, Hega. And gods did I hate that dog. I never met my mother, but grandma had told me how she died from child birth, and how my father had walked away after that.Growing up, I didn’t exactly have lots of aspirations and dreams but after grandma’s death, I had one; I’d never die poor and lonely like grandma had, and I was ready to do whatever it took to escape that fate.That’s when I began my little ‘adventure’. As a girl, I’d play dress-up, and then I'd go out to meet with men twice my age. At first, it wasn’t as exciting, but it gave my life some meaning and

As I headed for the pack house, I realized something was wrong. My wolves were agitated, it was almost like an internal war was going on in my mind.I suddenly couldn’t breathe. I pulled at my tie, taking it off and tossing it to the floor, but that did me no good. I took off my coat too, leaving only the sleeved shirt beneath. Still nothing.I headed straight for the healing room, but I could barely stand on both my feet. My vision danced before my eyes, but finally I made it there. Stella, one of our healers, walked to me.“Alpha… are you alright?”“I need some tranquilizers.”“Okay—I’ll have to evaluate you first before prescribing.”“Just…give me all you have.”“But Alpha, some of the pills can have strong side effects!”“I said, give me the goddamned pills,” I snapped and her eyes widened.“Yes, Alpha,” she answered, hurrying to the inner room and returning with a dozen pill cups. “This is all that’s available.”I accepted them.“Thank you.”I turned to leave.“And Alpha!” she c

CASSIAN’S POV“I didn’t think you’d come,” Scott admitted the moment he spotted me.A day ago I’d gotten a message from him and an address. We were to meet here at a cemetery called Gotham, which was located on the Eastern Coast. Gideon had been quite sure it was no more than a trap and he might be right about that, perhaps I did take a risk coming here, but I'd been curious.“Neither did I,” I answered, “visiting a cemetery wasn’t exactly on my to-do list.” I admitted, taking out a cigarette.“You do know it’s considered unethical to smoke in a cemetery,"“You do know I don’t give a fuck.” I lit up the cigarette. “Is there a reason you chose this spot for our meeting?”“Except for the fact that it’s neutral grounds? No.”Before arriving, I'd surveyed the place, just to make sure this wasn’t an ambush. Turns out, Scott was here all by himself.I exhale a string of smoke, “What do you want, Scott?”“To talk, just as I’d said in the message.”I’d taken a whole bottle of tranquilizer p

CASSIAN’S POVIt’s been exactly twenty-two hours since Eloise had disappeared into her room, and as the minutes turned into more hours, I couldn’t help but wonder what she was doing and why she’d refused to leave her room.Just then, I heard a rap on the door. And there she was, standing by my doorstep.I stepped aside, letting her in before shutting the door behind her.“I’ve been waiting for you,” she said, letting her piercing green eyes meet mine, “And since you wouldn’t come, I came myself.”If only she’d known I’d also been waiting. “I thought I’d give you a few moments to settle in and get some rest.” The truth was I’d been contemplating going up to her too. “Rest is not exactly what I need now.” She admitted, “What I need are answers.”I motioned for her to take a seat while I remained standing.“How do you feel about her being here?” she questioned and I cocked my brow, “I mean, I know how much you hate Jefferson—”“She’s your daughter and that makes her my responsibility

I clutched the sheets against my naked form. I’d never been to Cassian’s room before, I realized. The thought was followed with a stab of guilt, this was a place he’d shared with another woman—Rosalia.Cassian laid beside me, just as wide awake as I was. I wondered what was going through his mind, perhaps just like me it was the magical moment we just had. It had been different this time—nothing like the wild, unrestrained sex I was used to. He’d been… gentle this time, almost like he suddenly thought of me as fragile. Watching Cassian worship my body in ways he’d never done filled me with feelings I couldn’t quite explain, or maybe I just didn’t want to.“What are you thinking about?” I questioned, giving in to my curiosity.“I want you to come live here.”I cocked my brow at him, “I’m already living here,” I stated, with a ‘matter of fact’ look.“I know, I meant, in this chamber, with me. Layla could take the room right over there,”“Oh.” I said, completely cut off guard.When he v
