The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0127

Roan makes me jump. He is sitting outside the office door when I enter the packhouse. He rises to his feet when he sees me. His dark grey eyes drift down to my blood covered hand.

“You killed him?” His tone is empty, but he continues to stare at me like he had since we first met.

“Yes, he is dead.” I don’t know what it is about this man, but he brings out my irritation just by existing. “That makes you the last one. Well, you and Jess.”

I don’t like the way he is looking at me and his eyes settle on my stomach. “Do we know what they are?" “Dane’s heirs.” I mutter back

“You know that is not what I am asking.”

“And still, that is what they are!” I snap. “Unborn members of this pack. Can I ask you a question?” “Ask?”

“The bitten, the ones changed, whatever you want to call it. How did they end up in your city?

“The same way as they ended up in the city down the road.

“How long have you known there were Lycans?"

He stares at me, pressing his lips together.

“You knew. You knew before they started turning up in your city. When you were told, you barely reacted. How long have you known?” He shrugs his shoulders at me.

He’s an asshole!’ Nyx growls

“You didn't come just because of the contract, did you?

“In parts, yes. I don't walk away from my commitments. Though I was excited to hear that the great Alpha Dane had finally settled down. I was curious until I heard your name. Neah Kitson. It’s not a name you forget easily.” He rises from the chair.

I frown, taking a step back. “I've never met you.”

“But you have. A long time ago. You were little, a few months old. I was ten, maybe eleven. Your parents were in my family’s city. They abandoned you.”

“No, you are lying.” A growl comes from deep inside me.

“It's the truth. I watched them leave you in a basket down an alleyway. A blanket tightly wrapped around you. The idiots made a mistake there as your name was on the blanket.” He rolls his eyes and turns away from me as he sighs.

“I took you home to my parents. By the time I got you home, you had already shifted, multiple times.” He smirks as he checks his reflection in the mirror. “A strange little monster, but I couldn't leave you alone.”

I shake my head, it couldn't be true. I had been bound. I couldn't shift. “My parents spent a week tracking your family down

“You are making it up.

His dark grey eyes find mine. “Moonshine ig situated in the middle of nowheresFar away fromany other civilian life. Far away that nes other packs can easily find it. The houses large, but not as big as mast packhouses. Gardens sit out the I back.” He continues to-describe my old house. Content belon gs to NovelDrama.Org

I feel my heart hammer.

“Your parents tried to say you were kidnapped, but there were no other scents on you. Just theirs. To be honest, they didn't even seem happy that you were being returned. I begged my parents to keep you. But they said they couldn't. They said you were a powerful being.”

“My parents loved me!”

“Are you sure about that? Wasn't Trey raised as-your older brother so that he couldbe the next Alpha? Weren't they the ones who had you~ bound twice before Trey did it to* * He rubs I his jaw, “The i impression got from them is that no matter what they did, you kept surviving. Like somehow you weresupposed to. Maybe to lead you to this moment. He points at my stomach.

“You were going to kill Trey and Cassandra?” I whisper

"Not until a couple of years ago, when those who had been bitten began uraing up in my city. At first. we thought it was Vampires, but > then they started shifting. I knew whatthey were, I had seen itbefore. Anctit had to have something to do with that pack you belonged too.”

“Two years?”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Maybe more. Their plan had been in place for a long time, Neah. It was just amped up after you met Dane. They were likely going to breed you until you dropped dead.

“All the ones who were bitten are dead now, aren't they!” I snap

“Not quite!”

I realise how quiet the house is, and my heart plummets. “Where's Jess?” He smiles at me.

"What the fuck have you done to her?”

“She's safe, for now.”
