Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter One Hundred and Forty One

| always thought something was off that night; | had been surprised to discover that Beatrix had tried to save

me; it felt so bizarre, and | was right to suspect her, even after her ‘good deed

| was not exactly disappointed; I've seen and heard more shocking things; at this point, | didn’t think anything

could surpriseanymore

There must be a reason why she saw the need to expose herself.

“I changed my mind; | swear, | knew it was all wrong and so | tried to make things right.” Beatrix stated.

“Since when did Beatrix care about what was wrong or right?” Axel asked, “There must have been a discovery,

right?, Thane is about to discover the truth, so you choose to make the wise step of confessing before then, just

so you could be seen as ‘less’ guilty.”

Beatrix shook her head slowly. “I do feel bad; you don’t understand.”

“Make me,” | said to her.

“I thought you were the problem, but you weren't; Thane was the problem, | should have seen that a long time

ago, but I didn’t, even if you weren't there, Elder Bailey would have filled in the gap, it was never meant to be

me, and | had done so many messed up things to attain a position that was never mine in the first place.”

“So | guess you are... sorry?” | questioned sarcastically.

“No. | would not pretend that | am sorry for all | did; it is just that | do not see the need to keep fighting you for

your title.”

“Amusing, Beatrix had given up on fighting for my title-not that she ever had a claim on it- but at least, | have

one less person to battle with; let's celebrate, shall we?” | mocked.

“I have not given up, rather, | am waiting. He does feel something for you, | can tell now, but it would only last

for a while, and after that, that’s it. Then guess where | would be then?, | would be at Thane side, picking up the

pieces and slowly taking back what rightfully belongs

to me.’

“That is the saddest thing | have ever heard. Good luck waiting.”

“Mark my words, Queen, the tis coming.”

“I've marked a lot of your quotes; | don’t think there is space for more. Remember when you toldthat Thane

would never makehis queen? You said he was only usingto attain his position, and then | would be

shoved to the side-should | unpin that from your board of quotes? | mean, it didn’t work out as you said, right?” |

mocked her smore.

“Soon | would be the one making jokes.”

“I hope they are as good as mine.”

“Beatrix, you don’t seem to understand that you are not walking away scot-free,” Axel says to her, and despite

her skills in acting, | see the slight tremors in her eyes.

“So you are going to throwin the dungeons with those low-life traitors?”

“You will be where you belong.”

“Luna, 1 had confessed my crimes to you... | told you | wanted to speak to you alone, but your insisted, would

you let this happen?”

“I don’t really know, maybe yes?, seeing as you are a traitor and all,” | said with a small smirk.

“You are different,” she said as if just discovering it.

“I mean, I'm a queen now; that must be the difference.”

“Beta, | am begging you not to do this,” she said, finally letting go of all her calm.

“With you

alive and free, you would remain a threat to the Queen, | cannot let that hap[en.”

“Then maybe we make a deal,” she suggested.

“No, thank you,” | said, but she kept on talking.

“Let's say one would have to know that Riley is not the

this discussion dies here, and no Alpha’s true mate; | have multiple copies of the contract they had both signed,”

she says.

“Do you think you can threaten her?” Axel asked, “Who do you think they would believe, you - the crazy

commander clearly desperate to becthe Luna or the Queen?”

“Axel, let her go,” | said, and Axel gavethe ‘are you crazy look’. “Please, just... let her go.”

“Listen to the Queen, Beta...”

“Shut up!” I and Axel said in unison to her.

“Listen to me; we would talk about it; trust me, just let her go.”

Axel finally took down his gun, placing it back in his belt loop.

“I really hope you know what you are doing, Riley,” he says.

“Can you not tell Thane about this?” | asked Axel, knowing he was still mad at me, he was right to, | had stepped

in for a person like Beatrix.

“It concerns your safety, so he would have to know, just to be conscious.”

“But he would throw her in the dungeons.”

“And you care because?”

“I just don’t feel like it is the right thing to do.”

“Oh, maybe it would be when she finally gets her way and hurt you.”

“She won't; if she wanteddead, she got her chances so many times.”

“If she makes any move, no matter how little, then that’s it.”

“Fine,” | agreed with a smile.

The truth was that | wasn’t very sure of the decision | made.
