Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter Forty Six

“What do you mean?” I cried out.

“Slade is not just his father; he is the Alpha King, Thane had just done the forbidden, all for you. He would have to suffer the consequences.”

My breath came out fast. I shouldn’t have stepped in. Why did I always make matters worse?

“Riley,” Freya called, and I looked at her with teary eyes. “Thank you,” she said, and for a moment her features softened. “But sometimes doing the right thing is not always right. Being naive would only bring you to an end.”

“I couldn’t just close my ears to that: what kind of person would that make me?”

“A person that survives and stays alive. Do you think a few others hadn’t at some point witnessed my punishment?” She questioned me, and I had no answer to that. If she had people who really loved her, then why did they do nothing? How could they allow this? But again, I had to remind myself that Thane never did step in.

“I’m sorry, I…” I sobbed silently. I had made a very big mistake, and I knew it. I didn’t miss the fact that Axel hadn’t stared at me once when he walked in.

I tried to move, but my whole body ached, reminding me of the bruise Slade had left on my skin with the whip.

“Don’t worry, it would heal; give it a few days–or, considering you are an omega, a few weeks,” she says, and I nod, not really caring about the scar. I stood with some effort, picking up the bed spread, and I wrapped it over the Luna Queen.

“Freya, why haven’t you left him? He treats you like crap; he had been the one at fault bk at the feast, and yet he punished you for a thing so petty; why haven’t you attempted running away? You are the Luna Queen; you have some connections; you could disappear.”

“Disappear,” she says, chuckling. “There’s nowhere in this world where Slade would not find me. Sometimes, I hope he could change; I hope he could wake up and become a whole different person, and I still hope.”

“He is never going to change; not till he kills you” I say, wondering why I still felt the need to help this
