Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley)

Chapter Two Hundred and Forty Five RILEY.

I couldn't turn back; if I did, he would see the tears I could no longer suppress; that would destroy everything and my little act would be over, so I didn't turn back when he called, I had my eyes pinned to the door. "When I get out here, I will kill your lover, Nick, and after that, I will kill you, bitch."

Those words would forever haunt me. He sounded so cold. I wondered for the first time if I did the right thing; my fear was that my attempt to save would cause him to lose the little humanity he held onto.

"You did well back there." Nick says, "I almost believed that maybe you never really liked him. He seemed very angry; I would stay as far away from him as I could if I were you."

"Stop talking."

"Oh, come on, this was the deal; get over..."

1 punched him right in the face, cutting him off; blood dripped down his nose and his flashed with anger. He slammed me against the wall, and my skull, still fragile from his previous attack, hit the wall hard. For a moment, all I saw was black. "You..."

"Let her go."

go." Bailey called; I hadn't seen her coming. "You will have your time with her to do as you wish soon."

Nick finally let me go, and I spit at his face. "I'll do the very same thing soon, when you'll be sucking on my cock."

With that, he shoved past me.

"Come," Bailey called for me, and I followed; she led me back to the room I had been awoken. in. "Sit," she said, but I didn't. "Remember our deal; so easily everything you've done could go to waste," she threatened, and I finally took a seat, letting her put back the chains on. She left my hands free though, and that was a surprise.

She passed me a dagger; it was the very same dagger I had used on her. I wondered how she was able to retrieve it.

"Now this is what you will do; you will stab yourself over and over again in the very same spot, and you will not stop till I say so. Now go on.'

I took the dagger from her hand, and I drove it through my lap, crying out from the pain. I pulled it out and repeated the action, just as she said. The silver burned through my skin; pain was all I could feel.

"You really didn't think I would make your death easy, did you?"

Chapter Two Hundred and FortyFive

I had been in so much pain, I didn't realize when someone walked in. The dagger was taken from my hands, and I looked up; it was the last person I expected to see. Beatrix stood before me.

"I shouldn't be here; I know that. But... I had to be; I had to save Thane, and even if I dislike you, you are still my...Queen Luna, and it's my duty.

Believe me, I never knew this was Bailey's plan; Icouldn't believe I even aided this. I am here to help you escape."

I couldn't believe her words. Beatrixand I had never been the best of friends; I had left her in the dungeons to rot, and yet here she was, trying to help me.

"Thank you." I whispered, and she nodded. I'll be back, hang in there. She placed the dagger on the floor, away from my reach. "If she asked, tell her you dropped it.

I nodded.

Beatrix left, but now I felt hopeful; maybe I could escape this place; maybe I still had a chance. With that thought in mind, I was able to completely ignore Nick; he had come in some hours after Beatrix departure; a glass of water in his hands, and only then did I realize how tasty I

was.

"You want some?" he asked, but I ignored him. "Well, I'll take that as a no." He slowly spilled the water on the ground, a smile on his face.

Nick couldn't break me; I wouldn't let him.
