Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 609

Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty 

Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty 

KADIA’S POV 

It was already late at night. I’d spent the hours patrolling alongside Alexander. Well, we’d done a little more than just patrolling. 

A slow smile curled my lips at the memory of Alexander taking me right there on the hard forest ground. 

“We’re supposed to be watching over the pack borders,” I’d reminded him as he kissed me. 

“I’m still very much alert. I think I can do both at a time,” he’d replied. 

I now had dirt, crumpled leaves, and a few stubborn twigs tangled in my hair. Alexander didn’t look much better, but he still managed to pull off that rough, roguish charm that made my stomach flutter. 

We walked to our apartment together, stopping in front of the door. 

“Keep looking at me like that,” he said with a grin, “and we won’t be sleeping much tonight.” 

“I’m not staring,” I lied, immediately looking away with a blush creeping on my cheeks. 

He smiled. “You can stare all you want, baby. I’m all yours. 

His words stirred butterflies in my stomach. Maybe it really was going to be a long night–because the last thing I wanted to do was sleep. 

But the second Alexander opened the door, he went still, his smirk disappearing like it had never been there. I looked past him into the room, trying to see what had thrown him off. Everything looked normal–except for a single sheet of paper sitting on the table. 

“Someone’s been here,” he said. 

“Are you sure?” 

He walked in, and I followed. 

“Cynthia. She must have been the one. Damn, I should’ve killed the bitch when I had the chance.” 

I picked up the letter from the table. This hadn’t been here before, and the paper had a strange texture–one that told me it didn’t come from this pack. 

‘It’s time to play your part as agreed, Kaida.‘ 

C.‘ 

Alexander walked over to me; he stared at the letter, and his hands balled into a fist. 

“I’ll find her, and I’ll kill her,” he promised as he headed for the door. I followed after him. 

“What, are you planning to march into Aureonna City and kill her?” 

“Yes.” 

“Alexander, you can’t do that. What if you get hurt?” 

“I won’t sit here and watch her send you threat notes. She has the power to manipulate your mind, just as she had

done before. I cannot let her violate you in that manner ever again.” 

“I would listen to the girl if I were you.” A new voice said. 

The woman stood by the balcony. How long had she been there? 

“I just arrived.” She said, answering a question I never voiced. 

I’d never seen this woman before, but my body knew something was off every muscle locked, ready to react. 

Alexander stared at her, recognition slowly settling in his eyes. 

“Jade.” 

He spoke her name, and I glanced up at him. Did he know her? 

“Ethan. You called for me.” 

“I didn’t call for you,” Alexander replied. “And I go by Alexander now.” 

“Who is she?” I asked, watching as Alexander’s gaze dropped to mine. 

His voice was quiet, guarded. “She’s a sorceress. I’ve seen her before. My mother… showed me.” 

“I’m glad Riley introduced us. It would have been a bigger problem having to do that and, at the same time, explain what I’m doing here.” 

“You still have to explain what you’re doing here. I didn’t call for you. I didn’t even know you were still alive.” 

“Not consciously then, but you reached out for help.” 

Alexander frowned. “Help? How exactly do you plan to help me?” 

“You tell me you’re the one who called.” 

Alexander opened his mouth, as if to tell her again that he hadn’t called for her, but then seemed to reconsider. Do you know where I can find the Demon Overlord?” 

“You mean your half–brother?” 

Alexander and I exchanged a glance. Only a few knew who the Demon Overlord was, and even then, it wasn’t a confirmed truth. We had no real proof, just Sebastian Bruce’s word. 

“You seem to know a lot of things; I can’t help but wonder where you’ve been all these years.” 

“Living my life, any other questions?” 

“So, can you track him?” Alexander questioned. 

“I could try summoning him, but if he doesn’t respond to the call, it won’t work.‘
