Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley)

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Four

I pulled away when I realized choking her wasn't really affecting her.

I was raging, tears streamed down my eyes. My father might have made mistakes, but he was a good man; God knows he dodged a bullet when he went for Lydia instead of the crazy bitch. I kicked her hard in the stomach, and she only chuckled, rising to her feet. I kicked her again, and she lost balance; this time she only looked annoyed. I sent a punch to her face, but my wrist met with thin air; she was no longer there but at the other corner of the

room.

"I didn't come here to kill anyone, but make one more move, Kaida, and I will make you watch as I kill another innocent from your pack." She said, Despite my anger, I had to calm down. She was an Empress; it was clear brute force didn't work on her. As if reading my thoughts, she spoke.

"You can't kill me. Many tried; they all failed." She said, wiping the blood from her nose. "This is not the reason I am here. You came into our city uninvited; you shot me thrice; clearly your aim was to kill, and you did this on the sacred day of The Encounter. More than that, you took away our Chosen. Why? Do you really want to start a war?"

"You were my target; I didn't harm anyone from your city. You started the war when you killed my parents."

"By taking away the god of light's Chosen, you involved the whole city."

"What do you mean? I didn't take anyone."

Her face scrunched up in disgust and pure anger. "Don't play games with me, child. You shot at me and took her; why?"

"I said I didn't. I came for you, no one else." I snapped back

"She's missing, and she was taken at the exact time of the incident."

"That is not my problem.'noveldrama

"I would get the truth out of you." She promised, a small smile played on her lips; she looked every bit as crazy as she did in those pictures, and then her eyes glowed, the color of flames. I had seen something similar before, Alexander's eyes had glowed a similar color back in the Grey Moon Pack. That had been before everyone in the hall had been sent on fire.

And then I felt it... It was like I was drowning, struggling for breath, but there was no water, and yet I drowned. I couldn't breathe, and then the feeling disappeared.

I coughed hard, panting. "What was that?" This time I couldn't hide my panic well; I had never felt anything like

1. it.

"Your mind controls your body; anyone who controls the mind can control the whole body. I made you believe you were drowning; you weren't, and yet... you felt like you were. Now tell me, Kaida, where is the girl?"

"I had told you before... I don't know-"

I never got the chance to complete my sentence; once again I was drowning,

choking, and yet there was no water. I tried to fight it, tried to make myself breathe, but it felt real; this time she held on a little longer, so I was on the brink of passing out before she stopped.

I took deep breaths. "I came there for you; if she is gone, then someone else took her."

Cynthia stared at me; she knew I was telling the truth, and yet she continued on with her torture. I 'drowned' three more times; I was too weak to even move, and she finally seemed satisfied.

"It seems like you really don't know where the girl is. I would have to leave now; the Blackwood wolf would be

here anytime now. But you can't tell him a thing about us." She said, pointing between the both of us, like we were in some secret relationship. I was going to tell him the first chance I got, but she didn't have to know that. "That is a command." She added, and her words sank into my mind. I knew that even if I tried to tell Alexander everything that happened, no words would come out-she had somehow compelled me to stay silent. "The guards who are supposed to be protecting you are also under a compulsion; they won't even remember me being here even if they were the ones who let me in," she said with a smile that said she was proud of herself.

She walked to the door and pulled it open before turning to me one last time. "I will be back, and don't you for once think that I have forgotten your attempt on my life; I will make you pay for that too... soon."
