All Chapters of The Alpha's Contract Mistress: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Soon enough we were in nothing but our briefs. I couldn’t help the nerves I felt at the fact that this might be my first shift in years. “You should go first,” I said to him. In one swift motion, he shifted. The transition was so fast I could have easily missed it. Now his brown furred wolf stood before me, but his blue eyes remained as they were.“That’s actually cool.”The wolfish smirk was all I got and I hoped that was Mehka. Now it was my turn. I shut my eyes, trying to reach for my wolf but held onto nothing. I tried over and again, but came out empty.“This is pointless. She is there somewhere, I know it, but it’s like she’s purposely avoiding contact.”“I can try reaching for her,”“And how would you…” I trailed off when I realized I’d heard in my head.“Mindlink,” he reminded me. But that wasn’t something every couple was capable of doing. For a successful communication both parties had to have a deep connection with their wolves, but I knew for a fact that the connection I

There were many tales about the Aeternum Desert. One of many had been of explorers who’d been on a mission to meet the Council face to face, despite being uninvited. It was told that their bones were later found after years at the desert’s borders.Desert Aeternum was called many names, Land of bones—as some believe the bones of those killed by the Council were buried in the sand, others called the place The Land of No Return. And that was exactly where I was walking into.From first sight, the desert looked like any other, but a closer look revealed a few differences—the too white sand, the desert plants that stayed completely still despite the strong wind, and then the strange smell of something too sweet that filled the air.I’d arrived in my wolf form, my clothes held between my jaws, but one step into the strange desert had caused a force-shift that left me in my human form. It was like the place contained some kind of magic that prevented werewolves from entering in their beast

It was like the clock had been rewound and I was back to the memory of when I’d first met Eloise. It had been at the Establishment. I'd been by the bar area when I spotted her walking down the stairs. She had long, wavy black hair that bounced with each step she took, her green eyes reminded me of the woods back in the Netherlands and I’d been entranced from that very moment. It felt like I was reliving the memory all over again, save for the fact that the man seated beside me, with a shock of white hair and a scar across his forehead shouldn’t have been here.Then the scene shifted to my argument with Rosalia, “We had a deal, Rosalia. No friends, no family members—that was the deal!” I was saying. “But we didn’t make provisions for second mates, did we?” she questioned. A shadow walked past us and suddenly the scene was interrupted by another memory. It was the bathtub incident which had happened right after I’d discovered Rosalia was behind Eloise’s disappearance. My hands were w

“It’s best you stop talking right now,” Cassian warned, but there was a slight tremble to his words.“I am not letting you die.”Octavia chuckled, but the others remained expressionless. “You never learn, do you?”“It’s blasphemy to speak against the gifts bestowed upon us by the moon goddess,” Nero, who clearly was the most self-righteous among them muttered like I’d committed a grievous atrocity.“Gideon,” Cassian called again, that warning note clear in his tone. “I’m trying to say that what you saw is what he believes is the truth. But it is not, because I killed Nathan Nightingis.“No, you didn’t. I killed him and we both know that,” Cassian spat, “Quit playing hero, you’d only get yourself killed.” I spoke on anyway, “You claimed that if you find him innocent, then you’ll let him go. I need you to give me your word.”I could tell Cassian was one second away from lunging for me. He was mad, just as mad as I’d be if someone I loved was about to throw their life away for nothing—

CASSIAN’S POV“Interesting,” Octavia muttered, stepping away from Gideon. “Very interesting,” she said with a look of glee on her face.Gideon’s gaze met mine, and I could see the apology in his eyes, but all of this didn’t make any sense. I’d killed my father, I’d slit his throat… “He was already going to die that night,” Gideon said to me, “The poison would have killed him even though you didn’t.” I’d always felt like it had been way too easy. My father should have been alert enough to sense my presence.“What poison?” I questioned.“Rizin Venenum. I’d poisoned his drink.”I shook my head slowly, refusing to believe it even though I knew this made a lot more sense.“He doesn’t know what he’s talking about—he’s innocent.”“No I’m not, Cassian. I am the murderer, the one to be killed, not you.”It had always been me risking my life to protect the ones I’d loved, and now watching him throw his life away for me filled with rage and a strange desperation. I could have found a way aroun
