The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0568

"You don't have a son." She repeats

*Dottie you can't say things like that."

"But it's true." Her eyes don't leave mine. "I see him." She points at me

Clearly I had given her more credit than what was required. Possibly, she was a little nuts.

"Darkness?" Damien asks her an edge of concern to his tone.

She shakes her head. "Just sadness and it's all empty."

"I can't listen to this!" I snap, getting to my feet.

Dorothy grabs my wrist. "Look for the light!"

Pulling my arm free, I leave the house, slamming the door behind me and step out into the evening sun.

'I don't understand her,' Lyall mutters, 'Is she some kind of Witch?

'She's Brax's kid, so I'm assuming a Hunter, but she is young, she doesn't even have her Wolf yet. How can she say we don't have a son? I've already lost one, I can't lose another."

Thear the door of the house open and close. Light steps make their way towards me as I turn my face to the sky. *Are you okay?" Samara asks quietly

I turn to look at her. A fresh mark sat on her neck, one that had already healed. She casually presses a hand to it and smiles, "He marked me earlier when you were out of the house."

"Thalia's sits a little lower on her collarbone." I murmur. The funny thing is, I don't actually remember giving it to he., "Are you happy?"

"I couldn't be any happier." She steps in front of me, "Dorothy confused me at first. She sees things in a different light to others, but she is a good kid. What may seem obvious to you, may not to her and vice versa. She doesn't always know when she should keep things to herself. She sees things on a deeper level. I mean, I don't even know what she fully sees, maybe souls like Brax, maybe more. What I do know is, she has never been wrong."

*She is just a kid that has no filter." She adds with a smile.

*She is saying that my son isn't real!"

"I know. I'm sorry."

*I paraded my boys around White Cliffs the day they were born. Showing them off like the proud father I became. Finally, I had people that were related to me by blood, the family that I had been so desperate to have." I sigh," After Jarret, I spent so much time with Quinn and now I'm expected to act like none of that is real, that it is what, a lie? What was I carrying around, a sack of spuds? What would you do if they told you that your children were just in your head?"

"I probably wouldn't believe it either."

*Damien tried to convince me that Thalia killed Jarret and that made absolutely no sense to me. She is their mother. How am I expected to believe that my sons were never here in the first place? Three years I have been raising Quinn. It sounds..."

"You feel like you are losing the plot, right?"

I nod. I was more than confused. There was no evidence and it was starting to sound like I had fallen into a trap. Maybe they were trying to get information from me. But then why bother bringing me here, to the pack I was born in?

Then there is Dorothy, surely they wouldn't use her for something so low? I don't think they would, I see how much Damien and Samara care for her. I've seen the other children go to a makeshift school.

And then there were the gaps in my mind. The lack of memories surrounding me marking Thalia. Heat, the twins birth.

I think if it was a trap, they would have tried to kill us by now." Lyall tells me. I didn't want to admit it, but everything they were saying was just....

*She knew Cooper, right?" A woman with her hands in her pockets steps out from behind a tree on the outskirts of the forest. She looked similar to Neah except the short dark hair and brown eyes. "Your mate knew him?"This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

*Silas, this is Blair." Samara sighs. "Eavesdropping?" She tuts and her arms quickly fold up over her chest.

*If you must know, Ryken told me to wait here. You and your big mouth make it hard for me not to listen." She sticks her hand out to shake mine "Blair, Neah's half sister."
