The Alpha’s Contract

“Tell me where he is!” Roan snapped just as my nose is filled with Danes' woody scent

‘I'm right here! And I suggest you let go of my mate.” Danes' voice echoes through me. The relief I feel hearing that he is home is unlike anything I have ever felt.

I'm dropped as Roan turns to face my mate. Jenson stands tall next to Dane along with Jess. And then there was Mallory, the girl who had almost beaten me to death.

“You killed my brother!” Roan screeches

“No, I didn't.” Dane shrugs his shoulders

‘I felt his death. Don't lie to me”

“And yet it wasn't me. It was a Lycan.” Dane speaks calmly, though I feel his annoyance

“Don't bullshit me!" Roan screeches. grabbing me and pulling me back against him. His hand coils around my throat and he squeezes as I stare at Dane.

The music stops and I feel all eyes on me. “It wasn’t Dane.” Mallory mutters as she steps forward with her hands raised. “There are Lycans that have the taste for flesh, it was them.” “Bullshit!” Roan yells as he squeezes my throat a little more. “They are all dead.”

“Do you really believe that? I believe that Dark Ridge is your brother's pack, right? There is a place before Dark Ridge that has been claimed. The town is owned by Rogue Lycans. Your brother passed through with one of our kind as his prisoner.” she gestures to Jess. "He was never going to make it out of our town alive.”

Her brown eyes find mine as he continues to squeeze my throat. My vision is darkening. Her face was not the last I wanted to see. “So you killed him?” Roan growls.

“No."

Nyx.’ I whisper as I find it impossible to breathe

‘What about the pups?’ She whispers back.

There will be no pups if I'm dead anyway. Just the claws.’

Pain rips through my entire body. I could feel the claws pierce my fingertips as Mallory kept talking to him. Reaching behind, I plunge the claws into his stomach. His hands instantly let go of my throat as he yells in pain. My feet hit the ground and as I'm about to run, I lose my balance, landing face first in the dirt.

GET UP!’ Nyx screams at me

I couldn’t move.

“NEAH, GET THE FUCK UP!’ She screams again.

There is shouting around me when warm hands slip under my shoulders, helping me to my feet.

Mallory's face comes back into view.

“I know,” she mutters. "I'm the last person you expected to see.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

I was speechless. I had run the conversationthrough my head multiple timés since it was . announced that she would be x coming-fere. Ihadsomuch! wanted to say. So much anger-that needed to get off of my chest. Yet, asl stared back at her, nota single word leaves my lips.

Every ounce of confidence I had is washed away. “You need to move!” Mallory mutters. “I can take it from here.” Raven appears at my side, looping her arm with mine and glaring at Mallory.

“I was just trying to help!” Mallory frowns at Raven

“Let's go.” Raven tells me, while stee ingme away from the crowds and away fram the woman who I had almos killed me once. Content >"

“Roan.” I mutter when we are away from the party.

“Are you okay?” I ask quietly

“YES!” She snaps again, avoiding eye contact. “You shouldn't have shifted.

“It was just my claws!" I grumble, but as I study her face, I knew something was off. “What's wrong? She sighs, turning her back to me. “This is going to sound mad.”

“Madder than a man in the pack who is after my twins?”

“The woman with Dane...”

“Mallory?” I spit her name

She neds. “She carries someone else’s scent.” “Okay.”

“My mates.”

“Salem?” I ask confused

She shakes her head and frowns. “My new mate.”
