The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0552

Definitely a follower of Serkan. Silas had been blind to so much, I almost felt sorry for him. If only he realised his own strength.

"I never said whether you would be dead or alive. I won't kill little Quinn, but you, you have already pissed me off. All I hear and see is lies. Did Serkan put you up to it? Did he want to keep Silas under his thumb? Or was it your idea? You saw him that day, thought he was an easy target, right?"

"Piss off."

*You saw him and thought 'easy target.' Right?" I ask again. Her soul tells me I'm right, but her face looks as though she is ready to kill.

"He is my mate!"

*Is he or did you just want him to be? You see, I found a lovely photo of you and your son. Only something didn't add up. You play with fire, yet you were scarred because of fire and now, by some kind of miracle, you're not. A little hole in your story, Thalia. Somehow he missed it, but he probably didn't, did he, not really. I reckon he asked you questions. I think even then, things began to unravel and you had to do something right? And now, he is unaware that you have some sort of hold on him."

I watch the irritation grow. Her lilac eyes drop to my feet and orange flames erupt around me, trapping me in a small circle. "Burn in hell."

I smirk at her as the fire quickly warms me. "Do you want to know a little secret?"

She doesn't answer me.

*There is no hell. The higher powers," I gesture to the sky, "They have no need for hell when they can make you live it."

"Higher powers?" She snorts. "You Hunters are all the same."

"Even Witch Hunters?" I muse, I was curious of how far I could push her until she completely loses it. "You underestimate the father of your children, Thalia. He may be confused right now. But he is changing, he is starting to see everything for what it is. The longer he is away from you, the clearer his mind becomes, because you are not present to fuel the spell you cast on him." I look down into the flames that surround me. "Is this what you did to Jarret? You killed his son because you couldn't get him to stop being so clingy."

*Screw you." She strides past me.

"No thank you, I would rather fuck my mate."

I step through the flames towards her. Her eyes widen and her jaw drops. "How... You can't do that! You are a Wolf."

I glance back at the circle of fire. "Looks like I just did." She didn't need to know that I met another Witch on the way up here. Or that the Witch was the reason I could see the castle.

She brings her hands up and balls of fire appear.

"Do your worst." I smile at her and she throws ball after ball at me. They bounce off, landing on the grass and causing small fires. The Witch had done a fantastic job of protecting me from fire. I might have to pay her a little more.

"What are you?" She snaps

*You have already said it. A Hunter. Now you are going to help me get inside and you are going to introduce me to your son as though I'm an old friend. Do you understand? And then, and only then. I might let you live through the night."

"If I don't?"

"I will kill every last person inside of that wall."

"You are lying!"

"Would you like to test me? Four days it has taken me to find this place. I have killed a dozen Rogues on the way, f not more. A few irritating Wolves that thought they were above everyone and now, I am currently staring at my next victim."

*Silas will kill you?"

"No he won't. He may think that it's you he wants. But it isn't, not really. His son is all that matters and sooner or later. He will realise that."

She hits me with another ball of fire. It doesn't even knock me back a step. "You will never get inside!"

She moves backwards onto the river bank and she steps into the water. She appears to be standing on top of the fast flowing river. A smile plastered to her face. "Follow me then, Hunter," she sneers.

I step down the river bank, but my foot drops into the water as she continues to walk away.

I hear a cackle as she crosses to the other side and watch as the gates open just enough to let her pass through.

They slam shut as I retreat. I hear multiple locks slot into place, deadbolting the gates shut.

No one in and no one out apart from a select few.

This is going to be fun.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
