Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter One Hundred and Ten

I was done keeping silent; now we had to talk, and I was no longer going to keep all my insecurities to myself.

“I thought you didn’t want me there because… I was no longer of use to you,” I admitted.

“Why would you think that?” He questions, genuinely curious.

“Maybe because you hadn’t bothered to tell me about the plan. I know it was all intentional; you thought my little act would fool the elders even more, but I was worried sick Thane, and you said nothing, but Beatrix knew about the plan. But then why wouldn’t she? She is stronger and better at everything, and, oh, there is also your Ancient Lover; I heard she also had a thing for you. Is like I am always left out on everything and no one cares how that makes me feel? I am always being used like the pawn, but I have feelings too, and you don’t seem to care. I feel like this is all one–sided; alt1 feel for you… you don’t feel the same, and you have every right to because I was the one who fell in love. You did warn me that I would end up wanting more than bargained for, and that’s exactly what had happened. What is so painful is that you… can’t give anymore,” I say to him, tears streamed down my face.

Thane huge hands cupped my face. “Did I make you feel this way?” he questioned, and just maybe he hadn’t realized how it had made me feel each and every time.

“Yes, every damn time.”

“I thought I feared nothing till I met you, Riley. I fear the control you have over my mind. I fear how pleasing you… give me so much joy. You want to know how I feel about you? You are like an obsession I can never get tired of; you do not even know what you have, and I am damn lucky to have you. It’s you I want,” Thane says, my hands wrapped around his waist. If he knew how long I had waited for him to say a thing like this to me, the day he would remind me that I only could satisfy his deepest needs and desires. The reminder was refreshing.

Thane’s eyes shifted from me to something behind me. I followed his line of his sight to see the bag I had been packing up just before he entered seating at the entrance of the closest.

Shit.
