The Alpha’s Contract

Dane

Turning back to her, she is staring at me with those big blue eyes. Her bottom lip quivers a little as she waits for my answer. I didn’t want her to go, but what if she was one of these beasts? What would I be letting myself in for?

e....Are you going to kill me?” She asks again jo." It didn’t matter what she was. She clings to the towel wrapped around her which was hitched up around her thighs and barely covering her.

“Put these on.” I pass her the sweatshirt and joggers out of the cupboard. I would rather she wore less but it made it a little easier when she was covered up.

Because that's going to stop you!’ Aero muses

Turning away from her, I let her dress. “Why do you think I want you to leave?

“I'm part of the contract.” She doesn’t stutter this time, almost like she found it easier to talk to me when I wasn't looking at her. “You were.” I agree, keeping my back to her. “But I don’t plan on killing an innocent woman.

Don’t you dare!’ Aero growls at me.

“If you want to leave, you can. I will ensure you are set up and will provide you with everything you need.”

You fucking idiot!’ Aero yells. He wasn’t the least bit bothered that Neah might not be a proper Wolf.

I have to give her a chance to think for herself.’ I snap at him. ‘To let her make her own decisions.’

“Where would I go?” Neah asks quietly

“Wherever you want.” I sigh, it sounded like she had already made her decision. “There are plenty of areas where no packs have control. Mutual zones.”

‘Stop telling her the good things!’ Aero was pacing in frustration. And as much as I didn't want her to leave, I felt it was only fair to tell her options. ‘Tell her she will be unprotected. That there are more dicks than Trey. Tell her to stay!’

I hear her pad across the carpet and settle into the chair and turn to look at her. The soft blue sweatshirt made her blue eyes pop even more. “Can I think about it?” She asks quietly “Sure.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She brushes through her hair and I catch the scent of something different mixed in with her strange scent. Lavender. Yet the more I thought about it, the more I realised her strange scent wasn't as strong as it once was

Matebond!' Aero chuckles, ‘About time you believe it!’ Sometimes, I really wished that Aero and I were separate beings, just so I could punch him

Hey!’ He moans at me. ‘I’m not the one who is pretending. Just fucking claim her.’

‘I have to go and check on something.’tmutter like some fucking school kid who had bumped into thei Kerush, “If you need me someone will be able to link me: Don‘tworry, I'm not leaving the baékgrounds.” ike) %

She nods her head at me while Aero continues to call me an idiot. ‘Whatever, we have a beast to interrogate!’ I tell him as I hurry from the bedroom and down the stairs. Before descending the dungeon steps. I could already hear Eric demanding answers, but he wasn't getting very far, the beast was not talking back.

“What the fuck are you?!" Eric shouts just as I appear.

The man wasin human form and Eric or someone had been decent enough tagive him some basic clothes.ta wear. The man was = huddledin the corner, but now, without the blood and the smeared mud, I could see that he wasn't that ofa. Maybe eighteen at a.bush.

“What's your name?” I ask, keeping my tone level.

“He won't answer.” Eric mutters. "I've been trying all night, he won't speak.” I turn to look at the young guy in the corner. They had strapped his legs down with chains, giving him little to no room to move. “Are you injured?” I ask

The guys still doesn’t look at me.

“Does Trey know we have you?"

He still sits in silence.

“Do you know Neah?"

His eyes flash my way. They are blue, exactly like Neah’s. “Is she alright?” “You are locked in a dungeon and your concern is if Neah is alright? “Please tell me you got her away? That you got her out of that house?

Eric cocks his eyebrow at me.

“Who are you?" I ask, not giving him any information about Neah. “And what are you?" "She doesn't know me, or at least I>.

don't think she does. My name is. Devons m her true brother andl'am what's called a Lycan, the same as Neah.” Q..
