Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 175

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Five 

“As much as I want to help you, you must have heard by now that I am no longer the Queen Luna,” I said to him. 

“Titles like that cannot be taken away by mere words,” he insisted. “We need your help; an attack is coming soon, one bigger than the previous; we cannot fight that off.” 

I still didn’t think Thane would do this, not if these people haven’t done anything to start up the war, and yet the man sounded so sure, and from the look in Nick’s eyes, he seemed to agree with the man’s opinion. 

“I cannot help you; I am not the savior,” I admitted, and with that, I walked away because I couldn’t stand and watch the disappointment in their eyes. What did they expect me to do- talk to Thane? fight against him? 

I couldn’t do that. 

1 sat down alone in my room lost in thoughts until a knock at the door drew my attention. 

“The door is unlocked; come in,” I called, and Nick walked in. 

“Can I sit?” he questioned, and I nodded. He took a seat on the bed while I sat on the cushion. They were not the visitors you expected were they were,” he asked, and I hated the fact that he noticed that. 

“No, they were not. I didn’t know exactly what I was thinking.” 

“Riley, don’t waste even an ounce of your time bothering about a person who doesn’t see your worth,” he 

he says, 

and I didn’t even know exactly how to respond to that. 

“I didn’t handle things well there, did I?” 

He shook his head. “They really shouldn’t expect you to perform some magic, but…, they are. right, you know.” 

“You think the Nightshade pack did this?” I asked, suddenly protective. 

“Hey, we aren’t sure, but the chances are high. They have the numbers.” 

“It means nothing.” 

“Riley, listen to me. Three packs, excluding the one you heard of earlier, had been invaded and the pack Alphas killed. The members are currently being held hostage ‘somewhere‘, only the Nightshade soldiers can pull that off.” 

“Just stop, okay. I know these people, and they may be killers, but they don’t kill without 

reason.” 

“What if there is a reason? There is a speculation that the Alpha King wants to form a new era, 

Chapter One Hundred, and Seventy Fix 

where there would be no rulers but him.” 

“You are right,” I said to him, “about the speculation part. I really would love to be alone right now,” I said. 

“Very well, Riley.” 

With that, he walked away. 

It took only a few minutes for me to drift into a deep sleep.
