Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley)

Chapter One Hundréd and Forty

Chapter One Hundred and Forty

ALEXANDER'S POV

"You really are that pathetic, aren't you, Commander Aric? I questioned. Aric didn't deserve the title-we both

knew that.

Just when I thought the man couldn't get any more stupid, he proved me wrong. I had found him before he could reach Kaida. When I'd said I would keep him away from her I meant it. I had installed high-tech cameras, monitoring nearly every corner of this pack. I had spotted him heading to her room- our room. The pack soldiers had brought him straight to me.

"You don't understand; I have to see her right now." he said, there was an edge to his voice, but he was in no place to make demands,

"Well, you don't get that privilege anymore. You lost it the moment you drugged her, remember?" I reminded him.

“I—I shouldn't have lied. I shouldn't have told you all those things about her not wanting you. You're all she ever talks about. She cares about you-a lot. And it... it made me jealous. I've been by her side for years, yet she never looked at me the way she looks at you..."

"Save it, jackass. No one gives a damn about your sob story. I don't even know why I keep you alive."noveldrama

"Neither do I. I believed you would kill me this time, but strangely you didn't."

"For some reason, my sweet mate still feels some kind of obligation to keep you... alive. Berwarned, Commander -you're walking a razor-thin line, and it's only a matter of time before it snaps. When it does, I'll be right there to make sure you don't take another breath." I said with a small smile, I couldn't help but imagine how entertaining it would be ripping off his head from his body.

"She is so... pure," he said, sounding almost dazed. But I knew exactly who he was thinking about-my mate.

"She is," I agreed. "Sometimes, I wonder if I even deserve her. Truth is, I don't... but you? You never even had the right to."

"She hates me," he said, almost as if he expected sympathy or maybe he was just finally accepting the obvious. I wondered if Kaida would notice if I quietly killed him and dumped his body in the river. "But I have to see her. I don't know why 'she' came to this pack, but I have to find out." He paused as if realizing he had said something he shouldn't.

I didn't know who he was talking about. Who had visited the pack? He didn't seem to be referring to Kaida; it seems there was another woman involved in this discussion.

"I have been watching her; she is not in any form of danger at the moment, so you may leave, and next time I find

you trying to sneak into her room, I'll chop off your fingers- I don't think Kaida would mind that." I promised. He walked away without a single word, but I still caught the concerned look on his face. Through the camera, I hadn't seen anyone enter her room, but I wasn't going to take any chances-not when it came to her. I left my office and headed straight to our room, throwing the door open. Just as I thought, she was there, all sweaty- probably from her daily exercise.

"Did you forget something?" She asked, knowing this was nowhere near the time for my return; I should be working.

No. I didn't; I just wanted to make sure you were alright."

The confusion faded from her face, replaced by a smile. I loved watching her

smile it was so infectious that I found myself smiling back. For a moment, I was tempted to ignore the piles of work waiting for me and just stay

here with her. It took everything in me to push that thought aside. This pack

generated a lot of money on a daily basis but consumed a great deal. To keep the balance, I had to get back to work.
