The Alpha’s Contract

Raven “Wait.” It was alot of inforamtion in the space of a minute. "I have a million questions. So it wasn’t because he was your brother?” “It was both.” Damien mutters back. “If he hadn't been my brother, I still would have been able to track him

“I didn’t think Lycans had a scent when they shift.” I glance at Neah who still has her head down. A deep frown etched into her brow. "I thought you found me, because of me?’

In the second that those final words left my mouth, I knew I sounded needy, and in front of everyone. Midnight laughs which does not help Damien stares at me with those dark eyes and I fight the blush creeping up my neck.

“Of course we do. It’s just subtle.” Damien replies. "But nevertheless, it is there."

“Subtle?” Dane asks

“I don’t know what else to tell you, Dane. Would you rather I had not been able to scent my brother?

“Of course I’m not saying that.” Dane snaps.

“Alpha Neah, tell them. Tell them that we have a scent in Lycan form.” Damien looks for confirmation but Neah is staring at her stomach.

Gently nudging her, she looks up and blinks a few times as though she is trying to remember the conversation. “I can't smell them. Why didn't you tell me I was carrying Lycans?

Damien tilts his head to one side. “I thought you already knew.”

Neah opens her mouth to say something. Not a single word leaves her lips. Instead, she gets up and hurries out of the room, Dane following closely behind

“To us, they have a Wolf's scent, but only if they are in human form.” Eric tells him. “When they shift, we can’t scent them.” “And the Alpha? Is what she saying true?”

“Yes.” Klaus replies

“She tracked me in the forest, better than Dane and you.” Damien gestures at Klaus. "She had to have known.”

Eric shakes his head. “Though she spoke of how her legs carried her through the forest to find you. That she had no clue where she was going, just a feeling. Nothing to do with scenting you. Although she can now, because you have pledged your loyalty to her.”

‘We really need to ask him about that.’ Midnight murmurs

“And Jess." Klaus adds. “She can scent Jess too."

“I tried to look into it.” Klaus murmurs. “There is limited information on your kind. We are pretty much learning as we go.” “Something to do with her being bound in the past?” I ask

“Possibly.” Klaus replies. “Maybe not every ability of hers is unlocked yet.”

“Ability?” Damien asks

“She can partially shift.” Eric tells him

I watch as Damiens eyes widen in surprise. “That's new.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“It did take long enough for Nyx to make an appearance.” I add

“Who is Nyx?” Damien is looking at all of us, like he is missing something.

“Neahs Lycan.” I frown at him. I thought this would be something he already Knew. But then again, he was aeonverted Lycan. What he knewis what he had learned>Just like-Neah .to -

Eric explains it to him. Damiens head slowly moves up and down as he takes in the information.

“So all Alpha’s?” He asks

“No, just ones born in the blood line. So Dane, me and Jenson, in this pack.” I tell him. “Neah too, obviously. “It explains who you were talking to in the forest. What about that prick in the dungeon, he has an inner spirit?” “No. His father took over as Alpha a long time ago but wasn't blood related to the original Alpha.”

“But you won't be an Alpha? Nor will Jenson?

‘Jenson and I have a different N mother.to Dane. So the gene was still passed to us. And I'm glad: wont be. I don’t want to havetto deal with that.” . to

“Guys, as much as this conversation is interesting to you. We are losing the point.” Eric snaps

Damien leans. back in his chair, his dark eyes stilfon me, a hint of a smile on hissips. Why was it that anytime fie learned something new about mre, we were surrounded-by other,people? He couldn't say- How he-tea ly felt or he could, hejust chose not too, like what he-had to Say was for my ears only.
