Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley)

Chapter Sixty Four

ISABELLA

EARLIER...

I knew about Logan Diminitri's visit; I also knew about their plan to find a cure.

Thane didn't like the control I had over him, I knew it would come to this. I wondered what I would be to him when he had found the cure. I won't be of any use to him if that happened, he would have no reason to let me stay at the pack.

Was it selfish that I didn't exactly want him to find a cure?

I stared at him lying on the bed.

It was still there, his feelings for me were still somewhere in there but he would never admit it because he loved her more.

I was becoming a different version of myself, and I didn't like it one bit. Thane needed the cure; I knew and then this would only get worse if he didn't find it, yet a part of me didn't want him to find the cure, Riley-I had sent her away because I wanted to be alone with Thane; I wanted him to wake up to my presence; I wanted him to see that I would always be there for him. It was a selfish thing to do, and here I was, alone with him.

Thane had been unconscious for a day now, and I was getting worried; a man named Regnux had visited twice to check up on him, and of course I had to come up with lies.

'The Alpha is feeling a bit down; he will not be able to see you now, but I will be sure to inform him about your visit.'

I went into the bathroom to get a quick bath, but when I returned, I noticed Thane was awake.

"Thane, you are awake!" I cried out in relief.

"What happened?" he asked, running his fingers through his hair.

"It's the curse. I can't explain why you fell into unconsciousness, but you've been down for a whole day. Also a man named Regnux came looking for you. I had to lie to him; I'm sorry..." "Where is Riley?" he asked, cutting me off, and my smile disappeared.

"Maybe she's in her room... I don't know."

"I have to go see her."

"No, you don't; you just awoke from a coma. You need to think of yourself first."

He ignored me, putting on a shirt before heading for the door. I blocked his path. "Why does it always have to be her? I had been here for you throughout, and now she is the only person you want to see? She didn't even care enough about you to stay, so please, go back to bed; you need rest."

"Isabella, get out of my way." He says, I wasn't going to be able to stop him. I moved aside, and he walked past me.

Chapter Sixty Four

I followed after him. He headed for Riley's room. He knocked, but there was no response so he pushed the door open, and even from a mere glance, I knew she wasn't here.

He walked towards the guards, who straightened their pose the moment they saw him.

"Where is the Luna?"

"She is at the healer's house."

Thane seemed to know exactly who the guards spoke about; he headed to a room similar to Riley's, and he knocked. Once again, there was no response; he kicked the door open, and we were met by the stench.

A woman -clearly not Riley, lay motionless on the floor, blood pooling around her lifeless body; she must have been dead for some time.

Thane pushed her over to reveal her face and I saw the hole in her chest; her heart had been torn out of her own body and I spotted the organ a small distance away from her corpse.

"Daisy." Thane muttered. This must be the pack healer the guards were referring to, and if she was dead, that meant Riley was in danger.
