Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter Forty Seven

It was late at night. I lay on the bed with Thane beside me, but he hadn’t said a single word to me. I had expected to be punished; maybe he was only devising some suitable punishments to administer, that would explain why he had been so silent. I didn’t think he was sleeping.

“Thane…”

“Go back to sleep, Riley,” he says, but the last thing I could do now was sleep.

“Would you punish me for what I did earlier?” That was a stupid question. Of course I would be punished; maybe I would bear some scars like Freya. No, I wouldn’t allow that. But then what will I do to stop it?, fight him?, run?, scream?

I could do nothing.

“Is this what is keeping you awake?” He asks, and though I wasn’t looking at him, from his tone, I knew there must be a smirk on his face.
