Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Eight

“What had Bailey wanted to talk to you about?” Axel asked.

“I really don’t know who she thinks she is,” I responded, taking a seat at the edge of the bed.

“Is common with the elders to feel entitled to things; pay her no mind,” Axel advised.

“Do you think Thane did the right thing when he made a deal with her?” I questioned

“No. Not really, but that was the only way we could get her to agree with our arrangements; she is indeed stubborn but also very calculative.”

“How exactly does Thane plan to sidestep her? I mean, she had gone through her part of the deal.”

“Are you sympathizing with her?”

“No, I just feel like Thane is playing a dangerous game, but again, when is he not?”

“Don’t waste your time worrying about Thane; he knows what he is doing.”

“Bailey does not love Thane; all she wants is the title,” I revealed. Axel didn’t look surprised to hear that. “You knew?” I questioned.

“It isn’t exactly surprising; the elders crave for power, and you would think all the power they have acquired through the years is enough, but the more they attain, the more they desire.”

“Bailey had been offering me the position of a mistress when she takes over as Queen Luna,” said to Axel, leaving out the fact that she knew about my relationship with him.

“That is a desperate move,” Axel said. “I think she have doubts,” he added.

“Make sense. You know what? I don’t want to talk about her and my very much envied title anymore; let’s talk about something else.”

“I do have something that might interest you.”

“Now I’m curious, what is it?”

“Is about ‘the book,” he says, giving me a look that implied he expected me to figure out which book he was talking about, and of course it just had to be ‘Barbara’s fantasies‘; that book had embarrassed me more times than I could count.
