Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 39

Chapter Thirty Nine 

Chapter Thirty Nine 

I woke up in a dark, unfamiliar room. The first thing I noticed was that I had been tied to a bed. The place smelled familiar, but I couldn’t place it all. I tried clearing off my foggy mind and. remembering all that had happened and why I was here, the harsh memories flooded in–the blood, the brutality, the danger. It all flooded back in. 

Where was [? 

There was a figure in the darkness; I could tell. The room was dark, but there was a dim light. illuminating the wide 

space. 

“Who is there?” I questioned, and the figure walked closer, close enough that I could see all his features and every single detail of his body. The blood wasn’t there anymore, but that didn’t make him any less scary. Thane stood before me, his eyes still those dark orbs they had been in the judgment room: Was he going to harm me? There was another figure seated on the couch, one I didn’t notice earlier. Axel. 

“Where am I?” 

“Where do you think?” 

“Let me go.” 

“No,” Thane responded. 

“How could you do that to them?” 

“They were traitors.” 

“They were still your people!.” 

“And that made it worse. The fact that they are traitors from my pack makes it all worse, Riley.” 

I remembered Axel sedating me. 

“Why did you do that?” I asked, and my question was directed at him. 

“You wouldn’t stop struggling; that was an easy way out.” 

“Why am I chained to the bed?” I asked Thane. 

“Why else?” He questioned. 

“Are you angry at me?, Is this some kind of punishment?” 

“Yes” 

“Why?” 

“There are many reasons, Riley, but one is that you are not to have mercy on someone who

almost killed you,” he says. 

“And what are you going to do to me?” 

“You’ll see” 

“Will you hurt me?” I questioned the fear eating Into me; I couldn’t help but remember the brutality–all those people he had killed without a single thought. It shouldn’t surprise me, but oh, it did. The man who had touched me with those very same fingers had dug out another man’s heart. 

“Yes, Riley”
