Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter Sixteen

I wished I could take back the words I had said; it had only been a slip. I had been so angry at her; couldn’t she see the sacrifice I was making? Couldn’t she see that this was our only chance at being free?

It would only be six months, and then it would be all over, but she didn’t know that.

“I’m sorry,” she says. “You are right; I don’t know what I was thinking. I think I should leave now and go settle in my new space,” she says, turning away and heading for the door.

“Mom, no, I didn’t mean it. I’m sorry”

“No. No you’re not, but when he breaks you, don’t come running to me, I might not be able to help you.“.

With that, she walks away, and I couldn’t help the shock I felt. My mother was loving and kind; when did she become so cold?

The answer to that question had everything to do with the nightshade pack, with Thane, and whatever secret my mother held to herself. 1

I did look like I slut; she was right, it was just the dress–this I assured myself, but I know it was more than that. I had sold myself to be used by an Alpha, a dangerous man, and in exchange, he promised me a fortune and my mother’s freedom. What difference was I from a slut?

I pulled the dress off, tossing it on the bathroom floor. I was not wearing that; damn Thane, I was picking my own clothes.
