Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 457

Chapter Seventy Five 

I lost track of time, but I estimated it had been over two days since I had been locked down here. 

Alexander should have returned by now. He should have come for me, but instead, I’m left here alone, seething with fury. 

Perhaps the idea of me being down here entertained him; perhaps this was another fun game… 

My thoughts were cut off when I heard footsteps approaching. 

It wasn’t Alexander as I had expected, it was Aric. 

“I should have visited earlier, but a few of the council members didn’t want me in here. 

I need to know what happened.” 

“I killed a man.” I admitted. 

“Seth had no right to lock you down here, none of them do.” 

“Actually they have the right. The Council is next in command after the Alpha; it’s been that way for years.” 

“Fuck the Council.” 

“You aren’t going to ask why I killed the man?” 

“No. If he is dead, then he most likely deserved it.” Aric said, and I couldn’t help but smile. 

“He did deserve it, and if time was taken back, I would have stabbed him over and again, at least to make it worth the trouble.”

“If I get out of here.” 

“Alexander would not leave you in here.” 

“That’s what I think, but I’d rather not be left surprised; I have to imagine the worst scenario.” 

“And what is the worst scenario?” 

“Alexander gets mad that I killed one of his pack members to protect mine; he punishes me or perhaps leaves me in here to learn my lesson.” 

“He would not do that, and you know it.” 

Aric was right; Alexander had saved my life more than once. Maybe… just maybe, he had grown a certain fondness

for me. Whatever the case maybe, I didn’t think he was bored of me just yet. 

“They hate me, Aric. I paid a visit to the Outpost, and though I only spent a few minutes there, I could tell that neither the Nightshade members nor the Dawn Pack members are adjusting well to the change. They resent me because they believe I’ll always prioritize my own pack.‘ 

“That’s why you let the soldiers take you; that’s why you let Seth bring you here, it was all to prove to them that they’re wrong.” 

My silence was all the answer he needed. 

“They don’t hate you…”
