Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter Ninety One

The woman standing before me had the same colour of hair my mother did, but slightly different eye color. She did look very much like my mother, but slightly younger; she was sobbing silently, and I noticed her swollen eye and her mouth… her tongue was missing preventing her from speaking.

Slade walked forward. He stared the woman up and down and scowled in irritation–this wasn’t what he was expecting, and it was a wound to his ego. He kicked the woman hard, and she fell to the ground. I am sure he broke a bone, Thane stared down at the woman, and I saw something flash in his eyes as he picked her up; she could hardly stand.

“She is from my pack, and I had promised you she would be dead,” Thane said to his father.

Slade didn’t seem satisfied by that; leaving it up to him, he would have lengthened the woman’s torture. Thane whispered something in the woman’s ears before slitting her throat. She choked on her own blood, clutching on to her throat as she dropped to the ground.

He had given her a very quick death, against his father’s wishes. He had done that because, just like me, he knew the woman had been innocent; she had just been unlucky, and now she was dead in my mother’s place.

Slade had been here for blood, so blood had to be shed in this halls and I never really understood what I was asking of Thane when I pleaded with him to spare my mother.

What was more painful was the fact that I felt relief–so slight, but it was still there–relief that it hadn’t been my mother, that it had been someone else… someone I didn’t know.

“Take care of this mess,” Thane said to the soldiers.

“I’ll like to have her body nailed to our front gates, just to remind others that we are not to be messed with,” Slade said.

“She has a family, and she would be buried,” Thane replied, his facade still on.

“You seem to forget who you speak to.

“You seem to forget you are in my pack,” Thane said to his father, staring him off, and finally Slade nodded.

“She is dead, and that’s all that matters.” Slade agrees, but I could see it in his eyes; that wasn’t ‘all‘ that matters to him. He had wanted the woman’s body as a proof of his brutality.

Thane walks straight to me. I tried to catch his eyes, but he had avoided my gaze.
