Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 77

Chapter Seventy Seven 

Chapter Seventy Seven 

“I had planned to cover up the trails when we were done, and this time she wouldn’t be found by my father. I was ready to die protecting her even if she didn’t deserve it. We agreed to meet by midnight; Slade would be gone by then. I had a few soldiers loyal to me and not to my father by then. 

But when I got there, I met Slade waiting in her stead. She had betrayed me again; she had told him about the plan just to get on his good side. She never once stepped in, never once helped; she was grateful to have him furious at someone else rather than her. If only she knew that Slade will never forgive her infidelity and she still pays for it. I had sworn that day to never step in or try to save her; she did make it clear that she did not want to be saved. 

My father couldn’t control me anymore; I rebelled against every single thing he did, and he hated me for that. That’s the reason the pack had to be split into two; he wouldn’t let go of power even when his reign was over, and I wouldn’t let him have what rightfully belongs to me.” Thane finished, 1 

There was a lot of questions on my mind, but when I opened my mouth on the two words came out; “I’m sorry” 

“For what? None of this is your fault, so you don’t have to be sorry.” 

“I judged you; even though I knew nothing, I still judged you.” 

“I am not a good person; I should still feel some kind of sympathy for her, but I can’t help it; I just don’t feel it.” 

“No one would feel sympathy for a traitor,” I say. 

“You sure?” he asked with a smirk. My mother would never betray me, but if… if she had been put in place of Freya, if she had betrayed me again and again, would I have let suffer for her sins?… no, no, I would not have done that. I would have kept trying, die trying. When I said nothing, Thane’s smirk widened into a smile. 

“If you had grown up in a loving home with parents that are not at each other’s throats or at yours, then maybe you would have been different,” I say to myself, realizing then that I said it out loud. 

“That was never meant to be, and I’m not sure if I deserve that.” 

“Everyone deserved to be loved Thane,” I say to him. 

“You pity me. I do not like it,” Thane says. 

“I pity you, and I’m sorry,” I admitted. “But don’t you want to be loved?” 

“Love without trust is nothing, and trust is hard to come by.” 

“But you could trust me, Thane.”
