Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter One Hundred and Forty One

I always thought something was off that night; I had been surprised to discover that Beatrix had tried to save me; it felt so bizarre, and I was right to suspect her, even after her ‘good deed

I was not exactly disappointed; I’ve seen and heard more shocking things; at this point, I didn’t think anything could surprise me anymore

There must be a reason why she saw the need to expose herself.

“I changed my mind; I swear, I knew it was all wrong and so I tried to make things right.” Beatrix stated.

“I have not given up, rather, I am waiting. He does feel something for you, I can tell now, but it would only last for a while, and after that, that’s it. Then guess where I would be then?, I would be at Thane side, picking up the pieces and slowly taking back what rightfully belongs

“That is the saddest thing I have ever heard. Good luck waiting.”

“Mark my words, Queen, the time is coming.”
