Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 249

Chapter Two Hundred and Forty Nine 

THANE’S POV 

The door opened, and Caleb walked in, his hands up as if in surrender. My beta, Axel followed, a gun pointed to his head. 

“Free him,” Axel said. 

Caleb walked to me, taking out the pipes. 

“The chains too.” Axel said, and I could tell Caleb was not going to do that. 

Axel shot at his leg, but Caleb was strong–maybe even the strongest of all the elders. In the next second, Axel’s gun was in his hands, and the table turned. 

“Let him go, 

Caleb; it’s me you want.” I warned. 

“You are right.” Caleb says, “But I want him dead too.” 

He shot at Axel. I growled, pulling at the chains; they burned my skin. He aimed for me next, pulling the trigger, but the gun was empty of bullets, and he tossed it to the ground. 

“In every single room, I had planted a bomb; all I need to do is press the button, and everything would go ‘boom‘; everyone in this building would die, and I alone would be left. After a while, you will be forgotten, but for me, I’ll take over from you; I will be known and feared all round the world.” 

Caleb pulled open a small secret cabinet and took out the ‘Cursed Weapon‘. He walked away with the weapon in his hands. 

Axel crawled towards me, taking off the chain on my ankle. I broke through the rest. 

The gun shot had got him on the chest, thankfully not his heart, I dug my fingers into the wound, taking out the bullet. “You will survive.” I said to him even if I wasn’t so sure of that. We need to go now.” 

“No, I need to go back for Riley; if this place goes off, she will die,” he says, managing to rise 

to his feet. 

“And so would you; she is not who we thought she was. 

“Go get Caleb, don’t let him escape; I’ll join you.” Axel said before running off. 

I spotted Caleb walking up the stairs, and I guess that led to an exit. I couldn’t let him go. I scaled up the walls, dropping right in front of him. A swift kick sent him falling down the stairs, and before he could recover from that, I came at him unleashing a flurry of punches at 

him.. 

I felt a stab to my side, and my whole body seemed to freeze. I stared at the cursed weapon
