Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 393

Chapter Eleven 

KAIDA’S POV 

Aric brought me a few of my belongings–the little he had managed to pack on such short notice. I had refused to wear anything the Alpha King had selected for me, good thing I now had options. 

“Thank you,” I said to him, and he nodded, a slight smile on his face. 

“Some of the pack members have already been moved here; the rest will have to wait till there are more rooms to accommodate them.” 

“How is my father?” I asked, The smile on his face faded, replaced by a somber expression. “I guess that’s all the explanation I needed.” 

“How has the Alpha been to you?” 

“He has been very loving,” I said sarcastically, motioning to the empty room. Alexander had instructed a soldier to lead me to ‘our‘ room. And yes, I would be sharing a room with him, I wasn’t looking forward to that. “Kaida…” 

“No, don’t try comforting me, I don’t need that from you. I know what I have to do and why I am here, he is my mate so I guess it was… meant to be.” I said with a smile that was clearly false. 

“I wonder if you had anything to do with me being assigned Chief Commander of the Nightshade pack?” “Wait, what?” 

“I was just as surprised as you are.” 

“I talked to him about it, but I didn’t think he would do it.” 

“Maybe he is not all that bad.” Aric said, mostly to comfort me. 

“No. This is a game to him; everything is a game to him.” 

Alexander walked into the room; I remained seated on the couch. 

“I really hope you don’t plan to sleep on the couch.” 

“It’s not your business where I sleep.” 

“But it is; you are my mate, remember?” 

“You made Aric Chief Commander.” I stated. 

• it had to be done.” 

“Yes, I did. It pissed off a few others, 

“Thank you,” I said to him, the words feeling like lead on my tongue; I didn’t mean them. 

“I didn’t do it to appease you. 

“Then why did you do it?” 

“Because now, you are indebted to me.” 

I knew it; it was all a game to him. 

Chapter Eleven 

“What do you want, Alexander?” 

He smiled, exposing his fangs. “I need to lay a claim on you I have to mark you.” 

“I will not carry your mark.” 

“I didn’t have to be polite about it, trust me, it would have been more fun my way.” 

“What is your way?”
