Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 361

Chapter Hundred and One 

Logan seemed to be considering what Bella said as an option. 

“It would be easier to do that, but we have a lot on our table we wouldn’t want a lovesick demon against us too.” He said, but Bella didn’t seem to agree to that. “I believe you can watch over her while I’m gone; she poses no threat–not with the toxin still in her system.” 

“I will be happy to watch over her.” Bella replied with a smile. 

She had changed- I noticed. All that had gone on between thane and me had changed her, and now she was someone entirely different. 

The moment Logan left, Bella brought out a small dagger. 

“Killing me won’t be a wise option.” I reminded her. 

“Who said I am killing you?” she asked. She pointed the dagger at my throat. “It wouldn’t hurt to leave a mark or two.” She brought the dagger closer to my collar and then she made a small cut, enough to draw blood. She smiled at the sight before going ahead to make an even deeper cut. “You know this is no fun when you aren’t in tears.” 

She stabbed the dagger into my lap, and I let out a small whimper. 

“Better.” She commented, she tore the dagger out of her skin, not yet done. 

A loud sound rang out, resembling a gunshot, three more gunshots followed. The main door was knocked down, and I heard footsteps approaching. Bella turned in the direction of the noise, her dagger lifted as if that could do anything to protect her. The door to the room I had been placed in was slammed open too, and before she could make a move, a shot struck her square in the abdomen; she fell to the ground, her mouth agape in surprise. 

The man who had walked in had his face completely wrapped with a grey cloth; only his eyes were left visible. I recognized those eyes, but I couldn’t quite place where I has seen them. 

He picked up the dagger Bella had used on me, for a moment I thought he was going to kill me but then he tore me free of the ropes that had been used to bind me to the chair. His hold kept me from falling. With the poison. still in my system, my limbs felt heavy and weak; I could barely stand on my own feet. 

The man placed me over his shoulders and took me out of the house. About ten men were waiting outside, all with their faces covered by the same brown cloth. Three black SUVs awaited us, their engines still running.” 

The moment he had me in the car, the rest followed, and we drove away. 

I turned to look at him as he drove. 

“Who are you?” 

“I am surprised you didn’t recognize me, but that is a good thing.” He took off the cloth covering his face, and I couldn’t deny that this was unexpected. It was Trent. Alpha Trent. 

“How did you know I was here?” 

“Your father, Bruce, sent me to get you.” 

“He did?” I asked, surprised. I had been trying to reach Bruce for a long time now. 

“He sent me a letter; he seems to know just where you were and also where you are heading to. He wants me to bring you to him.” 

“But I have to find Thane.” I objected.
