Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 529

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty 

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty 

“Let me help you, Kaida,” Cynthia said, her voice only a little above a whisper. 

“I told you, I don’t need your help. Alexander will find me, and none of you will get away with this.” 

“You’ve only been here for a few hours; besides, Amanda would hardly be considered a threat, and all the camera captured was the little girl leading you in here. He wouldn‘ think you are in any form of danger.” 

“So, you aren’t here for the missing girl. You’ve revealed all your secret plans to me… I can’t help but wonder- why are you here? If you wanted to make me pay for what did to you, you would have done it a long time ago.” 

“We are getting to that. But I believe there is something you need to know. Addiction to wolfsbane may be dangerous, but stopping is even more dangerous.” 

– 

For some reason, I believed her. I had seen what the withdrawal symptoms did to Alexander; it was slowly killing him, but his response remained the same anytime I asked; A little while and it would pass.‘ The question was, when would it pass, how long would he have to suffer? 

I didn’t know exactly how Cynthia knew about Alexander and what he was dealing with, but something told me she had her ways of finding out. 

“Then I’ll make him keep taking it. He was fine until he stopped.” 

“That’s what you think. He might have believed he was fine too, but he wasn’t. The wolfsbane weakened his wolf’s strength and abilities, but more than that, it was destroying him slowly. If he continues, it will be a matter of years–a few more years, and he will die a more terrible death. But if he manages to suppress the urge for it, though the torment won’t stop, he will at least die a quicker death. There is no escaping this; he had no idea what he was getting himself into.” 

“I don’t believe you.” 

“That’s fine. You will find out soon enough.” 

I didn’t trust her. I hated her for murdering my parents, and I would never stop plotting on how to end her life, but I loved Alexander; he was all I had left, and if keeping him alive meant I would have to listen to what Cynthia had to say, then I had no other choice. 

“You said you knew a way to cure him,” I questioned. The word she had used was ‘help‘. 

“Yes, I do.” 

“What is this method?” 

“I can’t tell you.” 

“Well, if you can’t tell me, then I have no reason to believe you.” 

“You’re right. But I can tell that you are out of options here 

“I will not let you anywhere close to him.” 

She held my gaze for a long moment before finally speaking. “The only way to heal him is to take away his wolf.” 

“What?” 

You heard me.‘ 

“No. I won’t let you do that.
