Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter Thirty Four

I didn’t think she was leading me the right way. But I didn’t let her know that. I tried keeping track of every route we followed, but there were just too many turns.

“Riley“. I turned to see Axel. I couldn’t deny the relief I felt the moment I saw him. “I told you to stay there; where did you go…” His words trailed off as he only seemed to notice Beatrix at my side, and he gave me a questioning look.

“Beta. Not to worry, she is safe with me; we were only having a little chat, and I was going to escort her back to her room; she’s not very familiar with this place yet.”

“Thank you, but I will be taking over now,” Axel said, taking my arms and leading me away.

Beatrix had actually been leading me the right way.

When we were a good distance away, Axel stopped.

“What?”

“I told you to wait there. Why didn’t you” Axel questioned

“I got overwhelmed; I’m sorry.”

“No, don’t be. I had been worried.”

“Why? Wait, did you think I was going to run away?”

“I thought of that, but of course, you wouldn’t be able to pass the soldiers, but that still wouldn’t be a fun experience.”

“Then… why?”

“Thane would probably kill me if I lost you.”

“Now I get, but I doubt he would kill you, so if that is your worry, please be rest assured, you are very safe.”

He laughed. “You don’t know Thane very much, do you?” he questioned.

What I did know was that Thane would never go as far as killing Axel or anyone for me; I wasn’t his true mate; I was only a substitute, and that agreement would only stand for six months–this I didn’t say out loud.

“No., I don’t.”

We finally returned to my room.

“So you and Beatrix–are you guys like friends?”

“What do you think?”

“I don’t know; girls are very weird, but this is simply a huge surprise.”

“After I spoke to my mother…”

“How did it go?” Axel asked, cutting me off.

“Bad- I’m surprised you hadn’t been listening in.”
