Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 355

Chapter Ninety Five 

Chapter Ninety Five 

Tears welled up in my eyes the moment I spotted Thane. 

For a moment I thought he was dead, but then I noticed the slight rise and fall of his chest. His facial hair was a bit more grown. I spotted the remains of food they must have kept for him, but knowing him, he would never eat anything from them; he would rather die, and that’s what was happening: Thane was dying. 

I fell to my knees beside him and managed to lift his body. He was cold, very cold. 

I immediately pulled off my jacket and wrapped it around him. 

“Thane!” I cried, but he didn’t seem to hear me. “Thane!” cried louder, and finally he stared at me. 

“How… how…” 

“Don’t speak. I brought you food.” 

Only when he was done eating did I speak up. “I’m sorry; I wish I could have done something.” 

“Are you alright?” He asked; I couldn’t believe him; I should be asking him that question. 

“I am going to get you out of here, Thane. I promise you.” 

“Riley, it’s better you stay put. You will get hurt if you make any rash decisions.” 

I nodded, but I was not planning on staying put; I was going to make a very rash decision. 

“Thane, Vox is in the pack, and Daemon is working with him; he is creating enemies of the other packs; he killed Regnux and Jade. I can’t find Isabella; I would have wanted to kill her myself, but she is… gone.” 

“She is with Logan.” 

I paused. “How did you know that?” 

“Because she told me.” 

“This is all messed up.” 

“You don’t have to be a part of it, Riley.” 

“I am the Luna Queen; I am a part of this.” 

“Do you want to make me happy, Riley?” 

“Of course, you know I will do anything for you- I’ll do anything to make you happy.” 

“I want you to prioritize your own safety first, don’t intervene, and don’t try to rescue me. Please… Ethan needs his mother.” 

I nodded. His hands felt so cold. 

“I won’t.” I lied. 

I would do anything for him, anything but this. There had to be a way; I couldn’t do this alone; I needed him by my side, and so I would fight for his freedom. We could win. We had to. 

“I don’t want you to come see me again.”

“What?” 

“I want you to stay as far away as you can from here and from me.” 

“Why would you say that to me?” I cried out. 

“I don’t want you to watch me die. Believe me, it is better this way.” 

“It is not. You won’t die; you cannot give up that so easily. 

“I haven’t, but just in case…” 

“No. You will not die. I am not going to lose you too.” 

“You won’t,” he said to me, placing a kiss on my forehead. 

“Riley, we have to go now,” Daemon called, his voice carrying clearly from a distance. 

“Give me a second!” 

“You should stay with Daemon.” Thane said, and I almost believed I heard him wrong.
