Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 154

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Four 

Bailey was the last person I wanted to see right now, but I knew I had to swallow 

my annoyance. She had been the first to pinpoint Thane’s abnormalities; she told me earlier that being with him would be dangerous; she had tried explaining to me that things would only get worse and soon I wouldn’t be safe with him, but hadn’t been willing to listen; I had believed that she said all those things to scare me into passing the title to her. 

She knew more about this than she was letting out. 

Bailey was still in the healing room, still injured, but at least she looked quite better. 

“So you 

you are back; I didn’t think I would be seeing you at all anytime soon,” she commented. 

“Trust me, I do not want to be here either, but I needed to talk to you about Thane.” 

“And why do you think I would care for such conversation?” she asks, her voice blank, just like her eyes. 

“Maybe because I would have left you to die but I didn’t, this one thing I ask of you, and I hope you would try to be less of a bitch and listen to me.” 

She was silent for a few seconds before she finally spoke up. “The changes Ltold you about, it had started right?” She asked with a wide smile. 

“You always knew, didn’t you?.” 

“Of course I did; I had tried to warn you, but did you listen?” she questioned. 

“Is there any way I could help him?” 

“Any way ‘you‘ could help him?” She repeated mockingly, “No, there is literally nothing you can do, but perhaps I can give you some advice if you are willing to take it.” 

“I am all ears.” 

“Leave him,” she said to me. “He is more dangerous than you can ever fathom; you would never be safe. But of course you won’t leave him, no, I can see it in your eyes, the defiance; you would rather let him kill you and live through the guilt of his actions, but I cannot judge you for making such a selfish decision. I would have done the same.” 

“I just can’t leave him. He is my family now, and he needs me more than he has ever done before.” 

“No. That’s where you are wrong; Thane never needed anybody; he never did, and he never will. He picked you because you caught his attention; he likes you, but he never did need you.” 

“And how would you know that?” I snapped. 

“I know that just as much as you do,” she says, as if reading some inner parts of me. I hated it. 

“What exactly is wrong with him? What is the cause of all the… aggressiveness?”
