Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

Chapter Twelve

I hadn’t realized when I had fallen asleep on the couch until something woke me- pain.

My whole body seemed to be on fire. I knew what was happening; how the hell hadn’t I thought about it? We were fated mates; of course, if he was with his whores, I was going to know–I was going to feel it.

After Alexander had marked me, he walked out of the room. I knew exactly what he was off to do, and I didn’t care; I was happy to have the room all to myself. I didn’t realize what I would have to endure while he was having fun, but I had been through worse. He knew what he was doing, and if he thought even for a second that this would make me change my mind about going to bed with him, then he was wrong; I’d rather endure it.

I managed to draw myself a bath; I was hoping this would help ease the pain, but of course it didn’t. It went on for longer than I expected, but finally it came to an end.

I got dressed, making sure I was fully clothed. I couldn’t sleep, and so I spent my time practicing with a sword- one of the weapons I barely used; a gun could do better with less stress and also, less mess.

A whole day passed, and I decided I was done sitting around in the room. I was going to go out there and do something, maybe join the soldiers train… or anything else.

I walked down the hallways, trying to master every route, and soon I was out of the pack house.

I followed the noise and screams, and they led me to the training grounds.
