Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter One Hundred and Six

Something about the elders‘ always invokes fear me. My palm was all sweaty. Once again, I had to watch Thane being judged by them.

There was this sense of deja vu I felt standing her with Axel by my side, but of course, this hadn’t been the first time I had been placed in this situation.

The elders were all present, cloaked in flowing white robes, rustling softly with every movement they made.

The only difference was that this time there were more unfamiliar faces amongst us, members from other packs who had come to witness the great and most feared Alpha, Thane’s demise.

Finally Thane walked in.

This time there were no excorts by his side. That was the first thing that seemed off. He came to a stop before them.

There was pindrop silence, all eyes watching him he had promised me he would survive this. I wanted to believe him, but at this moment, I couldn’t see how it would be possible for him to escape this.

“There is a question of uncertainty, Alpha Thane. You were reported to be here in this pack at the time your father was found dead. We wonder if you could shed some light on how you managed to kill your father.”

“No. I will not shed light on that.” Thane answers mockingly and there is a silent gasp.

Axel’s hold on me tightened.

“We could get the truth out of you whichever way.”

“You know well that you can’t. Is it a pity that your mind sorcery does not affect me?” Thane replied, and I knew there had to be a smirk on his face.
