Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter One

(Riley’s POV)

I woke up to a sharp pain in my abdomen.I knew what was happening; Ryker was doing it again. He was cheating on me with another woman.I rolled off the bed, my hands circling around my stomach. The wave of pain passed through me again, and I screamed out, my hands remaining on my stomach as if to shield my unborn child.I groaned, crawling for the door.”Help!” I screamed, but my voice came out hoarse. The pain came again, worse than ever before, and I cried out. “Please… please stop Ryker; you are hurting me,” I begged, even if I knew he wasn’t here or listening.A strange kind of fear filled me, one I always felt before things went completely wrong, and I was afraid it would now. My child was only one month old, and he ‘knew’ I was pregnant for him.I crawled for the door, my breaths coming out in pants, my whole body drenched in sweat. The pain wouldn’t stop; it only got worse, and I couldn’t go any further. In here, no one heard my cries and pleas; even if they did, no one came for my aid.The tears streamed down my eyes, and then I felt the wetness between my legs.No, no, no… please, no…My shaky hands found their way to my middle, and I felt the wetness against my finger. Lifting it to my eyes, it was…Blood.I panicked.My silent sobs turned into loud cries.”Somebody help me; I am losing my baby!” I screamed out, but again, no one came for my aid; my vision blurred, and then the darkness took over. There was only one thought on my mind as I fell deeper into the darkness.I hate you, Ryker.____CHAPTER ONE(Riley’s POV)

I had always thought I was smart. But Alpha Ryker made me look every bit of a fool, over and over again.

I was a low-ranked female in the pack; It was due to the fact that my mother was the pack’s slave, even lower than an omega.

Alpha Ryker had been my biggest crush for years, and of course I never thought I would have him as a mate. Imagine my joy when I turned eighteen, and just like every girl, I attended the mating ball, but unlike every girl of my class, I was mated to the Alpha. The same man I had been crushing on ever since I was a little girl. I had dreams, and I started to believe dreams did come true. How wrong I was to think that!

Alpha Ryker had told me to keep it a secret, and it was understandable. He shouldn’t be mated to a girl like me, it only spoke of weakness; I was just your average girl, with blonde hair and blue eyes. My mother had been sold to this pack as a slave, but she worked alongside the omegas.

It made sense for Ryker to keep this as a secret for the time being; as long as he loved me, I was just ready to do anything.

The things we do for love.

He never loved me, and I discovered that too late.

I let him take my virginity; after all, I had kept it just for him, and too soon I was pregnant. I had thought of the perfect family we would both have, but all that ended when he introduced the new girl Zara to the pack as his mate.
