Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 236

Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Six 

I didn’t know exactly how I got here, but I had been in the pack safehouse when a figure approached me. 

Bailey. I realized. 

“Why am I here?” I asked, keeping my face bare of emotions. 

“You are here because I wanted you to be.” 

“What do you want from me?” 

take it,” 

“I did tell you I would be back, didn’t I? Well, here I am, and I have a mission for you.” She said, passing me a small glass bottle filled with a greenish–yellow substance. “Go on, she urged, and I took the bottle from her hand. 

“What is this?” 

“That, my dear, is wolfsbane extract.” 

“Why are you giving me this?” 

“Don’t worry, it isn’t for you but for the Alpha King, Thane. You will put this in his drink. The Wolf’s bane when in his system would weaken him, and so we could proceed to the next step, but for now, this is all you have to do.” 

“He could die.” 

“That would be a pity, a death too quick, not at all worth all the time I spent plotting. You are right though, with the quantity in that bottle, it can kill regular wolves, but with him being a powerful Lycan and everything, we have to lean on that.” 

“You are willing to risk his life?” 

“Do you really think I care about him? If he dies, then so be it, but this is what you have to do.” 

“Please don’t make me do this; please, I beg you 

A smile stretched on her lips. “Do that again, beg once more.” 

I stared at her, going down on my knees. “Please don’t do this to him; don’t make me do this; I beg of you.” 

“That was fun to watch. Now go do as I said.” 

With that, she was gone. A sob escaped my lips. I couldn’t do this; I have to stop it somehow, but more than ever, I knew I couldn’t. I was going to kill him whether I wanted to or not. 

“Riley.” A voice called, and I woke up with a start “You were crying in your sleep, and I tried

waking you, but…” 

I cut off his words with a kiss. 

“Well, that was unexpected,” he said with a small smile. 

It was just a dream. 

It hadn’t been real. Relief flooded me and I let out a small laugh. 

“It was just a bad dream.” I said, and Thane nodded, rising from the bed. “Are you coming with me to work?” 

“No, I’ll skip today.” 

“Had it been because of what I said–pay no mind to that; I was only being paranoid and worried for you.

“Is not that, it’s just…. your job is boring when it comes to the paperwork; I would prefer remaining here and enjoying a good sleep.” I replied, and he shrugged. 

“That’s fine, but you can stop by if you feel like it.” 

“Don’t worry, I won’t.” I assured him, and he chuckled before heading to the bathroom. 

1 rose from the bed, feeling better than I had in weeks.
