The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0553

Dane

I stand just outside of Neah's hospital room, watching her through the window. Still nothing had changed. She looked peaceful. Relaxed as though she was sleeping. Monitors are still connected to her, just in case, including one wrapped around her stomach for the twins. Yet everything points to her being in some sort of deep sleep.

The doors to the hospital open, a gush of air rushes in, accompanied by my twin's scent.

He was alone, which surprised me. The pack were yet to accept him. Giving him stares and odd glances wherever he was. Some even went as far as checking in with me to make sure it was him.

The pack had heard my side. Every single Wolf and Lycan had listened to the news of what my father had done and thankfully, they still stayed, just as Mallory said they would.

It was a relief. Though they were unsure of him and probably would be for some time. I didn't blame them, not after everything I had learned from a single phone call with Brax.

"Where's Damien?" I ask

*Helping Samara with something. He said you wanted to see me?* Silas stops next to me, looking in through the window that separates us from Neah. His eyes move to my mate and a small frown appears on his face. "Still not woken up?"

"No." I confirm

*Is this why you wanted to see me? I can't help with this. Is it the pup?"

He had been here for a week and somehow, he had still not learned of Evrin and Logan.

"No." I nod my head at one of the nurses and she heads in to sit with Neah as I take Silas into another room and quietly close the door. "Why didn't you tell us about White Cliffs? The walls? The river? The deadbolt gates? The fact that the entire pack is concealed under a spell of some sort."

"I thought the walls and the gates would be expected. You have gates. As for a spell, I don't know what you are talking about." He shakes his heas as he cocks an eyebrow

I stare at him. Brax did suggest that he was under some sort of spell too. That his mate, Thalia, had tricked him. Just like Cooper tricked so many people, only the one Silas is under is more severe.

*I assume Brax is there then?" He asks me.

"Yes."

*I swear, there is no spell, Dane. If there were, I would have told him. I even drew a picture of the castle he needed to look for."

"Okay." I mutter, not believing him about the spell. He had to know something.

*Thalia and Quinn, are they safe.?"

*He has met Thalia."

He lets out a sigh of relief. "You don't know how good it is to hear that. Is she okay? She must be, I would know if she is hurt."

*Thalia doesn't have a scar." I tell him without missing a beat.

He opens his mouth to say something, but changes his mind and closes it as a frown develops.

*Brax told me. Don't you find that interesting? I know I do."

He snorts. "Brax is lying. I've seen it. I've spent years convincing Thalia that it doesn't bother me. It covers part of

her shoulder, the side of her neck and her face. That was the worst day of our lives. We lost our son and now you are telling me that I imagined the fire that burned down our home? What the hell is wrong with you?" Brax did say there would be denial.

"Next you will be telling me that I imagined my children. Just because you have had problems with a Witch, it doesn't mean I have."Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

*You need to calm down."

"I thought you were going to help. That was the deal."

*Damien made the deal, not me. My deals usually favour me." I turn away from him and sit on the empty bed." Tell me why she refuses to leave? Why wouldn't she bring your remaining son to safety? Why doesn't she believe you?"

"Why does everyone keep asking me that? I have explained myself over and over. She doesn't see Serkan as a threat. It has taken some time, but I do. I understand that, but you are making my mate sound like she is his sidekick."

I fold my arms up across my chest and lean against the wall. "Come on, Silas. Surely you are not that blind? Did you know what Cooper did to all those prisoners?"

*Not entirely." He frowns at me.

*Honestly, I'm a little surprised Samara hasn't told you considering you are sleeping on their sofa."

"Well why don't you enlighten me brother?" He snaps

*Firstly, you need to earn the right to call me brother. There is only one person that I will accept that from and you are living in his home. As for Cooper, he lured them in with the pretence that he was their mate. Created an aroma that would convince people that they had found their fated mate. Male, female, he didn't really care as long as he got what he wanted.
