The Alpha’s Contract

I still had more questions, but I think this was his way of saying the conversation was over. I almost hope that he is reading my mind so he knows how frustrated I am.

His eyes flicker to me, but he doesn't speak as we walk through the house and out the back door. He leads me across the grounds, nodding his head at various people but still doesn’t speak to me.

Stopping in front of a house, I couldn't help but notice how it was run down in comparison to all the others here. Run down was the wrong term, not as perfect as the other homes

Giant vines ran all over the building, snaking their way around the windows. Weeds stood tall in front of the house and the path that led to the door was full of cracks.

Alpha Dane raps on the door and pushes it open before someone even answers. He tugs me into the dimly lit house, giving my hand a little reassuring squeeze

“Ah Dane.” Aman a similar age to Alpha Dane, steps out from a room, knocking over a stack of books and sends them crashing to the floor.

His dark hair is tied up into a bun on top of his head. He peers at me with his deep green eyes. “You must be Neah. And you are right on time.” He smiles, sticking his hand out at me. “I'm Klaus, your tutor!” He beams at me, his hand still hovering in the air.

His eyes flicker to the bright orange earbuds I had in my ears. “Ah, the memories.”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

He's safe.’ Alpha Danes’ voice fills my head.

Taking Klaus's hand, he frantically shakes mine. “This way.” He tugs me past the fallen pile of books and sits me at a small table. “Dane tells me that you can’t read or write.”

I shake my head at him and glance at Alpha Dane.

You will be fine. I will be right here,’ His voice fills my head again.

Klaus moves around, pulling random books out of the random stacks all over the room..

“Klaus is one of the youngest to have graduated. He even got their” before Fdid, skipping a few grades.” AlphaDane starts telling me. “if there is anyone that can help you learn to read, it's him.” Content bélongs ~

Hours passed and although I was starting to get somewhere, I felt like an idiot, sounding out the letters.

“Keep going.” Klaus would regularly cheer mecon. He didn’t rush me, he was patient, much more patient than whend Raven had tried teaching me. But Re still gave me this oddteeling, an it wasn't good. to“ “

Alpha Dane suddenly gets up from his chair, “There's something I need to deal with. You stay with Klaus. I will be back as soon as I can. He kisses me on the cheek and hurries out the door. Crap, he wasn't reading my mind.

I sit in silence, staring at the door. I didn’t know this man that I had been left with. What was worse is that I wasn’t in the packhouse either. “Neah? Are you okay?” Klaus asks me with a smile.

I nod my head and go back to sounding out the letters in front of me. At least then I wouldn't have to talk.

“You are not really a talker, are you?” He asks curiously as he stands behind me, leaning over my shoulder, practically trapping me. “Could...could I get some water?” I ask quietly, just wanting him to move away.

“Sure.” He chirps, moving away.

I use the moment to get out of the chair and prevent myself feeling trapped again

“He will be-back soon, youdon't ~~. need ta, worry.” He hands a glass.of water to me with a smile and then holds his hands up. “I’m not going to do. anything.” Content belonigs ite)

My eyes flash back to the chair.
