Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter 104

Chapter One Hundred and Four

| noticed an usual change in the pack today.

The atmosphere was tense, and people gathered in small groups exchanging words in low whispers. For the first

time, | could walk around the whole space without any attention on me. That was new, not that | complained.

| took a corner, only to run into Beatrix. Gone was the girl with red swollen eyes and dishevelled hair; she

seemed to have redyed her blue hair, there was a glow to it.

Once again, she was back to the girl | knew, the one who always had that calculative smirk on her lips. She was

in a black uniform, with the pack logo at the side, and that could only mean one thing.

“Congratulations, Commander, for reclaiming your position,” | say with a smile that was very much fake.

“All thanks to you.” Her smile matched mine.

“I won't be assuming we are friends now.”

“No, we are not.”

“That's good.” | walked on, and she followed.

“Have you heard the trending news?” She asks, and | knew it had to be what everyone was buzzing about, but |

had no idea what it was. | couldn't let her know this, though.

“So there is a gossip going around; who cares?, When is there not?” | said coolly, but | cared. | only hoped this

technique worked, and of course it did, because she spoke on.

“The Alpha King had passed on.”

“What?” | asked shocked

“It means he is dead,” she says.

“I know what it means...”

“So you had no idea; that is so sad; you heedfor stuff like this.”

| gave up the act. “How did he die?” | asked; it just seemed impossible, but she could be lying, again, she had no

reason to lie about that!

“No one knows,” she says, keeping her voice down. It didn’t make sense, Alpha Slade, one of the most powerful

werewolves in the world is ‘dead’... and no one knows who did it?, “It could be anybody,” Beatrix says, “or it

could be someone interested in his title, someone who wanted his heritage rightfully passed to him.”

“No. Thane had said he would challenge his father, he wouldn't try to murder him.”

“That's what he told “you,” she replies, planting the doubt in my mind. “Have a nice day,” she added before

walking away, and | stood there, dumbfounded. Thane should have told me, How could he do this?

I wasn’t mad at him because | wanted his father alive, but | was mad because.... | knew that the end was near

and soon | would be of no use to him.

| headed straight to his office, walking in without bothering to knock.n

“You toldyou wouldn't...” | trailed off when | noticed Thane was not alone; Axel and Freya - Slade’s Mate,

were both present.

‘Maybe you should take a seat,” Thane offered, and | held in all I had to say. Taking a seat, Axel locked the door.
