Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 270

Chapter Eleven 

“Are you alright?” Thane asked, kissing my lips and then my stomach. 

“Yes, I am now.” 

“I’m so sorry I wasn’t there for you.” 

“I know you have work to do. I am fine, and that’s all that matters.” I say, but I could see the debate in his eyes; he wanted to be there; he wished he was. 

“What happened?” He asked. 

“I felt some pain, which I guess is some kind of contraction; the healers can’t be sure because my system doesn’t operate like a werewolf’s anymore.” 

“You will be fine,” he assured me, kissing me once more. 

We were back in our room, 

“I guess you know by now who accompanied me to the healing room.” I said to him, I had expected him to bring this up the moment we returned here, but he didn’t. 

“Those who saw him all seemed to have something to say about him; it doesn’t take a genius to know who this mysterious man they spoke of was. 

But you know what? I don’t think we should talk about this now.” 

“I want to talk about him.” 

He inhaled deeply. 

“Riley, as much as I appreciate the fact that he was there for you, I still find it very surprising that you let him be that close to you.” 

I knew that was what he was going to say. 

“He won’t hurt me.‘ 

“And he told you that?” 

“Yes, he did.” 

“So I’m guessing he had been visiting and you kept that away from me.” 

“I did it because I knew what you would

say; you would lecture me on how dangerous he was and I already know that.” 

“No, you don’t. He could have hurt you, and wouldn’t be there to keep him away.” 

“But he didn’t. I know he’s dangerous; he might be evil, but he would never hurt me. 

“Riley, you are just being naive. He is a demon.” 

“I am too! I am a demon.” 

い 

“You are different.” 

“I feel safe around him, Thane, and yes, I trust him. He knows me, he understands me, he loves me, and he told me that.” 

“What if his feelings for you are nothing similar to what a son feels for his mother?” 

Sorry to say this but I don’t expect you to understand what that feels like, let’s not forget you had really crappy parents.” Thane gaze met mine; he was clearly mad at 

1. me. 

“You know, I do have one big regret.” I continued on, “I regret ever letting him go; even if I knew how much of a danger he could be, I gave up on him way too quickly, Thane, and yet he still came back to me. Maybe I can save him; maybe he isn’t all bad, and I could make him understand that there is more to life” 

“What will happen when he shows you what he truly is?” 

“At least I know I tried. The last time he visited, he told me he could help me get rid of my darkness; he knew someone who could help me. My father.” 

“I guess you believe that?” He questions, looking at me like I had gone crazy. 

“I do.”
