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.

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.

“So?” Axel questioned.
