Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty

I tried pulling away from his hold, but Thane was really strong–maybe even stronger now.

Thane pulled me closer to him, close enough that his breath fanned my neck, close enough that I could see how pained those completely black eyes looked. There was something different with the way he stared at me.

I should be scared; I should have struggled harder, but I didn’t, and at some point I gave up. I would never be able to fight him off; there was no use trying, and finally he let me go, his eyes returning to their original color.

“Riley… what happened?” He asked, seeming lost.

“You are burning up; I need to go get Axel,” I said to him, and before he could ask anymore questions, I darted out of the room.

He couldn’t remember what he did. I knew how guilty he would feel if he knew what he had done, and so I made a decision. He was not going to know.

1 pounded on the door to Axel’s apartment; it was late and very rude to wake a person up this way, but I was panicking.Axel pushed open the door; he was in nothing but a pair of shorts; his jet black hair sprang out wildly; I had clearly woken him up. I tore my eyes from his body. “Do you realize how late it is?” He questioned, and for the first time, he didn’t read me as easily as I had expected. If I were here at this time, then it meant something was wrong; should have known that.

“Something is going on with Thane.”

“No,” he disagrees.

“What?” I question dumbfounded.

“If anything was wrong with him, I would have felt it.”

“You listen to me; Thane is not alright!”

Finally, he seemed to see the urgency in my tone; he quickly followed after me, and we returned back to the room.

Thane wasn’t on the bed but on one of the cushions, and he looked perfectly…fine.
