The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0062

Neah

Klaus smiles at me as I settle into the car. Raven introduces the two other women, but thankfully she doesn’t mention the truth about me. I hoped she would keep it a secret, even if it was just for a little while.

“You will be fine.” Raven keeps her arm linked with mine when I begin to fidget. "We are all here."

“I’ve never….” I could feel the other women looking at me.

“I know, that’s why I suggested it. You can’t stay cooped up in the pack all the time. It’s good to meet others, to learn that it is not just us out there.”

“Though Black Shadow is the superior pack.” Klaus winks at me

Raven pulls a small black card out of her pocket and hands it to me. “This is for you from Dane. He figured you wouldn’t take it from him so he asked me to give it to you.”

“What is it?”

The other women giggle, amused by my lack of knowledge and Raven shoots them a glare with her dark eyes.

“It’s a credit card.”

“Right.” I take the black card from her, turning it over in my fingers. I had never seen one up close. I had never needed access to money.

“I will show you how to use it when you buy something.”

“I don’t need his money.”

Raven lets out a snort. “You should enjoy it, it’s not like he is short on cash.”

For a brief moment, I wondered how he made his money. It wasn’t like he went to a workplace.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"Taxes." Klaus mutters as he opens up a book to read.

"Taxes?"

"From contracts." He confirms.

*Plus Dane owns a few of the businesses in the city." Raven adds. "He has deep pockets."

The other women in the car giggle again and I see Klaus roll his eyes.

By the time we got into the city, the scents were overwhelming. Traffic, Wolves, food, others that I couldn't place. I screw my nose up.

"Like I said, it will take you a while." Klaus climbs out the car and stands next to me and scans the area.

There were people everywhere. Some that seemed to be in a hurry while others had a much slower pace. "Welcome to the city." Raven mutters as she links her arm with mine.

I could already feel my body trembling. "Get it together." I whisper to myself, hoping the others are not listening.

Klaus stays a few steps behind us as Raven drags me from store to store, insisting that I pick out a few things and telling me that I can't go home empty handed.

She was enjoying it, but this really wasn't something I liked doing. I wanted to go back to the safety of the pack. I wanted to get away from all the noise and the smells and silently begged to go back to the car.

A hand latches around my wrist as I watch Raven root through another clothing rack. Looking up, I see Klaus.

He lets go immediately, "I know, personal space, but you are not enjoying this, are you?"

I shake my head at him.

"Come to the bookstore with me. It's generally quiet."

Nodding my head, he tells Raven who pouts for a minute but then makes Klaus swear to not let me out of his sight.

"I'm not stupid. Isn't this the whole reason I'm here?"

Raven gives him a location to meet at in one hour. "If you are not back...."

"You will call Dane." Klaus finishes her sentence for her. "I wouldn't expect any less."

Following Klaus out the store, he leads me through a couple of different streets and then down a side alley to a small bookshop. Hidden away from the hustle of the city.

He quickly works his way through the shelves, searching for something as I trail behind observing some of the pretty book covers. It made me wish that I could read, there were so many stories here and I could barely pronounce any of the words.
