Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 404

Chapter Twenty Two 

Chapter Twenty Two 

KAIDA’S POV 

The days went by in a blur, and I found myself preferring staying indoors. 

The knock on the door was expected; it should be Aric. I hadn’t seen or spoken to him in days. I walked to the door and pulled it open. 

I couldn’t hide the disappointment written on my face when I saw a Nightshade soldier standing by the door. 

“Can I help you?” I asked when he didn’t speak up. 

He had tried to cover up his little flaw, but I caught him staring. I wasn’t fully clothed, and of course he was unsettled by the scars–at least the portion he could see. 

“Luna.” He bows. The Alpha requests your presence in the meeting room.” 

“Wait.” I told him before I returned to my room, got dressed in my usual black pants and long–sleeved shirt, I followed him. 

“Is he alone?” I asked. 

“No… he has company.” The soldier replied. 

The moment I entered the meeting room, I caught a strangely familiar scent. No, this was not from Alexander. 

I looked around the room; some of the advisors were seated and also Alpha Grayson of the Gray Moon Pack–I knew him because I had seen his pictures, but other than that, I had never met him, and then… My eyes stopped on the man; he had a scar stretching down his eyes, a very familiar mark–how couldn’t it not be familiar? I was the one who took his eyes. 

I stared at him, at the face I could recognize even in my dreams; he was the very man I had tried finding for years and also the same man I had thought was dead. He stared at me as if trying to remember where he knew me from before shrugging and looking away deciding I wasn’t worth the stress. 

My gaze met Alexander’s, and all I could feel was anger. 

( 

He knew that the rogue lived; he had sounded so sure back then. He had brought him here because he knew how tormented this would make me. I had been a fool to open up to him, and now, he found another way to make the games‘ even more entertaining for him. It was all a joke to him, my past, my pack, my life… everything was a joke to him, and I had given him the opening he needed; I had told him my weakness, and he was going to use it against me everyway he could. 

I had never felt a hatred so strong before; Alexander, on the other hand, only had a smirk on his face. 

“Are you familiar with my Luna?” He asked the rogue. 

“I might have seen her face somewhere; I can’t be sure.” 

“I think she knows you a lot.” 

I stood there, silent. Thinking. 

The man still lived; the man who had killed my best friend was still alive and in this pack–maybe he hadn’t died as I thought, but with him this close, I had a chance. 

I glanced around. These advisors were not old men; they were powerful werewolves, and if I did make a move, they would be an issue.
