All Chapters of Contracted to him: Chapter 71 - Chapter 77

My body slowly got out of its sleepy state and the first thing I felt was warmth, not that of a blanket, but the unique kind that clung to me like a second skin, it was heavy and suffocating, but felt like heaven at the same time. I wanted to busk in it forever until a body pressed close to mine, causing the heat to radiate into my bones.My eyes fluttered open immediately.What the hell….The forest stretched above me, the blood moon had faded to a pale smear on the horizon, and dawn crept in through the trees. Pine needles clung to my skin, the cold earth beneath me damp with dew. And then I realized why I wasn’t shivering,It was because of him, the alpha, he was still here, naked. His arm draped heavy over my waist his weight pinning me down like a shackle as his hot breath brushing hot across the nape of my neck. I froze, lungs seizing. Every muscle in my body screamed at me to move, but I didn’t dare. Not when his chest rose and fell against me in slow, even rhythm, when h

My legs ached. My lungs burned. Every step felt heavier than the last.I’d been on the run for days, maybe weeks even—it was hard to tell anymore, time blurred together when all you did was hide and move, sleep in ditches and steal scraps to survive. My body had been screaming for rest but I still forced myself forward, witches weren’t even meant to last this long on the road, not without a circle, not without magic to lean on and yes I was determined to get as far away from my coven as possible at all and any cost, but even determination had limits, and mine were fraying.After another hour of walking on sore feet, I slowed and leaned against a tree to calm my ragged breathing. I was beyond exhausted and needed to rest otherwise my body was going to give in on me. “Elara, oh Elara.” I groaned mentally kicking myself for not being strong enough to keep going for just a few more miles. “But then again, rest is essential, I have come a long way already.” I stated

My chest ached so hard I almost couldn’t breathe as I stared out the small prison like window of the tower I’d been locked in for so many weeks I’d had lost count after the fifth, it was impossible to keep track with everything alpha Jax had put me through.. My eyes zeroed onto the man that was supposed to be my mate walking hand in hand with his Luna, with almost every few steps he leaned down and said something that made her laugh making my blood boil as memories of his rejection flooded my mind. “Jax please, you can’t do this to me.” I begged clinging tightly onto his leg as though my sharp nails digging into the fabric of his pants would change a thing. “I’m you’re mate, we’re meant to be together.”“Meant to be together?” He repeated, the words rolling off his tongue with distaste. “You’re a witch, I’m an alpha, we were never meant to be together, this was a mistake.”“But you said-”“Forget anything I said, you will never stand beside me in pu

The first thing I heard was the sound of marching or whatever that was, there were dozens of boots, heavy and urgent stomping against the floor, tearing me out of my peaceful slumber like a hand dragging me from deep water.Alongside the stomping, I heard a faint voice shouting commands and it was then my eyes snapped open, well that and my wolf restlessly stirring beneath my skin were what made me realize I wasn’t dreaming or hearing things, something was going on, and it wasn’t small—were we at war again?I didn’t give myself the chance to answer the question before my feet swung off the bed hitting the cold floor causing a chill to climb up my spine and sharpen my senses as the silk sheets slinging down my legs. The moonlight filtered through the curtains casting shadows across my room as I reached for the robe hanging over my chair and I pulled it on quickly over my silk nightgown.The fabric brushed softly against my thighs as I quickly moved towards the door not bothering to tie
