Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter Two

Growing up, there are so many stories I hear about rejections, the pain that comes with it, and then the sense of loss, like something was missing. I knew what was coming, and I was prepared, even as I said the words.

“I, Riley Kaidon, accept your rejection,” I respond, and that gave him a pause. Of course, he doesn’t expect me to accept his rejection so easily; every female is dying to be the Alpha’s mate, and I had been one of them till I discovered that he wasn’t as charming as my thoughts had painted him to be.

I felt the pain, just as I had anticipated. It’s a different kind of pain, one that is deep within, but what I do not feel is the loss.

It was over. All my dreams of finding a mate had all come to nothing. I was given the monster as a mate, and he had used me, taken from me, only to dump me like trash. I couldn’t stay in this pack any longer; I had to leave.

“Banish me from this pack; I no longer see the use of remaining.”

“Oh no, Riley. I want you here, by my side.”

“Zara had taken up that duty.”

“I want you to be something quite different.”

“I won’t be your toy anymore,” I spat. There really was no boundaries to his cruelty.

“Others would be proud to even have such a position, but you ungrateful girl.”
