The Alpha’s Contract

I point to Greg.

Damien strides over to him. ripping him up off the ground. He sinks his teeth into Greg's throat and tears it out. Tossing Greg away like he was nothing as he spits out the throat. “The Rogues will find him later.”

Damien's eyes scan Jess as she hugs me. “Cassandra really turned someone so young. I ned, “But old enough to be able to shift.”

“She needs shooting.

“She's already dead.” I reply

“You killed her?’Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“No, my mate. She ripped her heart out.

He chuckles, “Your mate is smart.”

“She's the Alpha.” Jess whispers from my chest

Damien suddenly looks up and out into the corn. “You need to move. They have picked up the scent of fresh blood.” His dark eyes move to Mallory. “Take them to the house. I will meet you there.” Damien presses his lips to her forehead before taking off into the corn

“Jess, go with Mallory. I will get Jenson.”

I haul my brother up onto my shoulder. Damien must have hit him with a decent force to knock him out.

By the time we make it back to the car, he is stirring. “Jess.” He mumbles

“Jess is safe. You will see her in a minute.” I mutter just as he crashes out again

“Come on!” Mallory shouts. "If they catch your scent, I won't be able to stop them.”

The car speeds away, the moment I close the door. Mallory doesn’t take us back in the direction we came, but she carries on north “He said take us to the house!” I snap

‘I heard. He isn't talking about the shit pit you hid out in!”

Jess spins in her seat to look at me. Her soft blue eyes are wide. “He kidnapped me! Alpha Greg took me!”

“I know. I’m sorry. I was so busy protecting Neah, we all were. I didn’t think you would be harmed.

“Why? I did nothing to him.

“He kidnapped you for his brother.”

“Alpha Roan?”

I nod

Her eyes move to my brother. "He really came to find me?”

“Yes.”

“I'm still not accepting his rejection.

“Then don’t. Maybe it’s time he learned he can’t always get what he wants. But if the last two days have taught me anything, he does care for you too. And he will wait.”

She smiles and slowly turns back around, relaxing into the seat

Mallory pulls into the drive of a much tidier house than the last place. Freshly planted flowers sit in boxes on the windowsills. A small white picket fence framed the garden.

“This is your actual home?”

“The other place is my base. This is my personal home. Just because I’m a beast. it doesn’t mean I can't have anything nice. Make yourself comfortable. I need a shower.”

Jess immediately raids the fridge, muttering about how she was starving as I dump Jenson on to the sofa. His bruises had healed, yet still, he wasn’t awake.

The front door swings open and Damien strides in. He laughs when he sees Jenson. “He needs to learn to take a proper punch! Where’s Mallory?” “Shower.” Jess mumbles with her mouth full “Right.” He takes off his jacket, revealing the tattoos that creep up his neck. “The Rogues know that you are here.” He sits on the sofa opposite me

“As soon as Jenson wakes, we will be leaving.

He looks towards the stairs, his voice dropping to a whisper. “Take Mallory with you.”

“She doesn't want that. She doesn't want to be part of a pack.”

‘He's right!Nvallory moves down the stairs towards us in a fresh set of clothes. “She had tied up her bloride hairtoo, “This is my home. And lam natieaving without you, Dainien’

“I need to stay to make sure the other Rogues stay put. You don't belong here anymore.”

“This is my home!” There is so much rage in her eyes. But she softens the longer he stares back at her. "They are getting restless, aren't they?’

He frowns-as he nods, “Food is becomingsparse for them, That one wolf won't be enough for all of them. They are turning on each other. Three have died in the last week. . Damien tells her. “

“Really?” Mallory whispers, slowly sitting down. “Why didn't you tell me?”

“I didn’t want to worry you. Mallory, they are on the verge of turning on us.” Damien tells her. “You are going to kill them?” I ask

Damien nods. “It needs to be done.”

“It was supposed to be a safe place for them. After what she did to us.” Mallory groans

“It was, onée.” He moves over to her. "Go with the Wolf. Go see the female Lycan. Apologise to her. If I survive, I will ceme find you. If I don't, then youswill need help to take the’ Ragues down.” <
