Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 379

Chapter One Hundred and Elghteen 

I had to make sure I was fully covered at all times; we couldn’t risk people discovering what I was, and my cold skin would give the clue. 

“How is Ethan, your son?” Mom asked the moment we were alone in the room. 

“I had entrusted him to one of the healers; he wasn’t safe the pack, and so I had to let her take him away. He stayed amongst the humans, but I had sent for him. Things are better now, and it’s time I gave him my full attention. 

“Why didn’t you tell me anything about what was going on I would have helped.” 

“You would have been in danger; I didn’t want that.” 

“Oh Riley, always thinking about others before yourself.” 

“Gabriel seems to be treating you very well.” 

“He is, more than that, I love this pack too; this place feels like home.” She said, 

“So when are you going to show me the dress?” I asked, and she chuckled like a teenager; for a moment we both laughed over nothing. 

“You look beautiful in that dress.” I complimented. My mother had gone for a white wedding dress; she was really in love with the human culture. 

I, on the other hand, was in a peach–colored fitted dress, which highlighted my curves. I had to add a matching color glove. In two days, I will be walking her up the aisle. 

“I would like you to have this.” She said, passing me a necklace. 

“Mom–but this belongs to you.‘ 

“I’ve had it with me since… forever, and I want you to have it. You can see it does fit your clothes.” 

She was right. 

“Thank you so much, Mom. I love it.” I said to her sincerely 

Bruce flashed across my mind; it wasn’t right to tell her about him. She would find out one day, but definitely not today. 

“I wouldn’t want anyone to see me in my wedding dress this early.” Mom said as she took it off. 

“We want them in awe of your beauty when the day comes. 

“I should let you rest now; Thane must be waiting to join you.” She said, and I nodded; she placed a kiss on my hair before walking away. 

A few minutes later, the door to the room opened again. I had thought my mom forgot something, but it wasn’t her; it was Thane. 

“gods, that dress looks so… sexy.” 

“It does, right?” 

I had been surprised that my mom picked this out; it seems she does have a good taste in fashion.

“Now I wonder if we should get married again.” He said, I could tell he wasn’t just making jokes. 

“That doesn’t sound like a bad idea.” 

He walked to me, hungry eyes trailing down my form. 

“Wait–I need to take off the dress first.”
