The Alpha’s Contract

Neah

“Where is she?” I feel my blood boiling. She couldn't be far. Klaus said she had been with Eric and Raven. Where were they? He couldn't have taken them all out.

But then, if he had wounds. They would have healed by now.

I turn away from him. quickly moving through all the rooms on the bottom floor. Roan stays on my heels, following me from room to room. Laughing as I discover the emptiness of each room.

“The moment Trey died, the contract between us was over!” He murmurs behind me. Just kill him! Nyx snaps.

We can’t, we have no idea where Jess is. And he knows that.’

“Don't go getting any ideas from that beast inside of you!” He smirks at me

“Jess is just a kid.” I snarl at him

“I know. That is why I said she is safe for now.

“She is part of this pack!” I snap. “You are breaking your contract with Dane.

“The contract was over the moment you killed Trey. Dane said it himself, when the threat is over, the contract is over. And i am not threatening your pups.”

“So what? This is some kind of payback? You were the one who wanted Dane’s help and now you repay him like this?”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

‘I did repay him. I helped kill the Lycans for both of you and she's not part of his pack. She is part of your pack. I suggest you tell your beast to step down.

My eyes gave it away, turning black as Nyx pushed herself forward. But shifting right now was not going to help us. Where was Dane? He must be able to feel my panic.

I close my eyes, trying to understand what benefit Jess would bring him.

“It was me, wasn't it.” I mutter. “You said you were fascinated by me shifting, but you can't have me because of Dane. So you are taking your chances with Jess. Which is disgusting, you are almost twenty years older than her and she is a kid. She is fifteen!”

He doesn’t know.’ Nyx murmurs. ‘He doesn’t know she has a mate. If he tries anything it will kill her.’

Roan shrugs his shoulders at me. “Do you really think I'm bothered by age?”

"What are you trying to get out of it. pups? Lycan heirs?

He smiles at me and I feel sick

“She can't give you pups.

I catch sight of Dane in the window to the side of Roan. He puts a finger to his lips. ‘Keep him talking.’ his voice echoes in my head. “The witch tell you that?” Roan asks

“Yes. We are a dying breed. I am the last true Lycan. That is why there was only one pack left. They are slowly dying out.

“Yet you carry twins.” He mocks.

“There is a goad chance they are Wolves.” I snap back. Deep down, hoped they Were, the idea of XN bringing nore Lycans into the world terrified me. Everything I had learned aboutmyself had all been here, in this-pack. I couldn't raise Lycans with no knowledge of them.

“Maybe, but only time will tell and I need to prepare.”

“By trying to create your own? What's your plan, Roan? To attack Dane and get payback?"

“What's going on here?” Klaus comes through from the back of the house and I don't get any answers.

“Nothing.” Roan mutters. "I was just letting Neah know that I am leaving.

I frown. Him leaving right now was not what I needed. I needed to find Jess.

“So soon. You don't want to stay and celebrate Neah’s birthday with the rest of us?”

I try to keep the surprise on my face hidden. No birthday party had been mentioned. This had to be something to do with Dane.

‘What is Klaus up to?’ Nyx murmurs.

‘It's tomorrowsKlaus continues, not meeting myeyes. “And you know,

after everything, we all feel a < celebratisn is needed. Dane wants to throw a party. I guess it will bea jointparty. Neah’s birthday and to cel@brate winning the war. "

“A party?” Roan cocks an eyebrow at Klaus. Klaus nods, “Are you interested? After all, you did help take down multiple Lycans Roans eyes shift to me and narrow. “Sure, why net. It's been a while since I've celebrated anything.”

“Great.” Klaus smiles at him. “Do you know where your brother is? I need to ask him too. Trying to get a list together.”

“My brother left a little while ago. He’s heading back home te his wife.”

‘I see.” Klaus mutters. "That's a shame. Oh well, more alcohol for the rest of us." He laughs. A fake laugh.

His brother has her.’ Nyx mutters to me

They live hundreds of miles away.’ I panic

“I thought you might have travelled together. Seeing as you live in that direction.” Klaus presses. He had the same thought I had

“I needed to clear a few things up. I wanted to get a written letter from Dane to confirm that the contract was over. I don't need him finding another loophole.

“He said it was over. Several times.” I mutter

‘Still, it's best to have it in writing.” Roan smirks at me. He was too_ ~~ dumb to see that Klaus was digging for idformation. “But I will stay for the Celebrations, it could befun.”

He turns from us and heads out of the house. “Are you not going after him?” I whisper to Klaus. “No. Dane is already on it.

I look up to the window and he has disappeared
