The Alpha’s Contract



"That could be possible, right? Cooper projected himself, Klaus told you that Indy destroyed rock and controlled the ocean. What if she can change her look? What if Thalia was the Witch who bound me when I turned eighteen?" I mutter.

"Brax did mention that there was no scar visible," he frowns. "But Cassandra and Trey wanted you for different reasons."

"That doesn't mean they were not involved. Thalia also knew Cooper. She chose to attach herself to someone who looks like you when she could have chosen anyone. That would mean she would need information from someone to know I'm here. Silas was sent this way to find me. Cassandra could have given her that information."

"Cooper was after Blair," he mutters as he studies me.

"What if that was something that got out of hand because Samara had started thinking for herself? The very person Cooper was trying to keep from meeting me made her way here. Cooper's job might have been to keep us apart because together, we are a problem."

'I think you are definitely on to something.' Nyx mutters in excitement, and I briefly feel the pain from my claws at the tips of my fingers.

"Let's say you are right. What is Thalia trying to gain out of this?"

I shrug as I sit in the large chair and pull my legs up under me. "What everyone like that wants, ultimate power." I pull my bottom lip between my teeth and sigh; I was the last female Alpha. Is that what she wanted? Did she want to destroy Lycans?

White Cliffs was once a place that all Lycans went to for refuge, yet others never went to the pack in the North, like Ryken and many who are here.

My ability to link and request them to come here caused a problem. Cooper couldn't get more of them into White Cliffs for Thalia.

"You said Klaus told you that the dead line the streets in White Cliffs?"

"Apparently,"

"Lycans, Wolves or something else?"

"He didn't clarify."

"Who will be able to give me answers?" I ask.

"My best guess, Indy." He goes to the closet and pulls out a shirt, "I will go and get her."

"You are not just going to ask Klaus to send her over?"

"No, I need him to watch the other two." He leans down and kisses my cheek, "Meet me in the office in ten. I will ask one of the omegas to watch the girls and check in on the boys."

Dane ushers Indy into the office. Her golden eyes are wide, and she has a hood pulled up over her white hair.

'Do you think she believes we are going to kill her?" Nyx muses.

Dane gestures for her to sit, and her eyes remain on mine as she moves to the chair. "Is this about Silas?"

"No," Dane tells her.

"You have questions?" Indy whispers.

"Can you tell us about the bodies?"

"Oh," she lowers her gaze. "I thought... Klaus didn't tell you?"

"No."

"They are victims of Serkan and Thalia. Ones that Serkan has fed on, or those that have pissed off Thalia."

"Wolves, Lycans or something else?" I ask.

"Every type. But I guess more are probably Lycans."

Looks like you were right. Nyx mutters gleefully.

"They just fill the streets?" Dane asks.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"The people don't see it. They walk over them as though the bodies are invisible. Some don't see that they are trampling their loved ones every day. It's a sick and twisted game, but

everything about Thalia is sick and twisted."

"Don't we know it," Dane mutters.

"But you are not under a spell?" I stare at her.

"When she started controlling Silas, I knew something was happening. I took precautions and made sure she couldn't get to me."

"Yet she let you live," Dane states as he watches her.

"I told the others. I don't know why. I think secretly, she enjoyed it, knowing I was suffering, knowing that I couldn't get out no matter how hard I tried."

"Why didn't you stop it? You are part Witch? I challenge.

"Part, being the key word. I'm not strong. I can barely control whatever it is I can do. And I could only do it after Brax tied himself to me. Before that, it only happened once. If I could do something, I would have done it. I want this to end; I just want to be with my mate. And right now, he doesn't even recognise me."

"Give it time," Dane tells Indy.

"It's been years," she mumbles. "I'm not even sure if it's possible to kill her. There were two Witch Hunters there, and they couldn't stop her. I mean this in the nicest possible way, but I don't think any of you realise how powerful she is."

"She hasn't dealt with Neah," Dane muses." And she hasn't come face to face with my pack."
