The Alpha’s Contract

“Go ahead,” I mutter, “It can’t hurt.”

As Klaus reads to her. I watch for any signs that she could hear him, but there is little more than a finger twitch here and there. But it did seem to be bringing her peace. Her mnd wasn't so hectic.

Footsteps echo in the hallway as feet come running towards us. Klaus and I quickly move to the end of Neah's bed, blocking her from view just as Devon crashes in through the door.

“Is she okay? Please tell me she is okay!”

I take a step to the side so that he could see her.

“Who the fuck did this? Was it that fucking blonde bitch?”

“Yes.” Klaus answers when I find myself unable to answer. Devon's reactins are strong, similar to how I would protect my sister “LT will kill her!”

“You are a little behind. Dane already had her killed.” Klaus tells him

He moves around me to get closer to Neah, taking her hand in his. “Why won't she wake up?

“We don't know.” Klaus mutters while watching me. “She has had an antidote, all her vitals are good. I think that after years of abuse, her brain has shut down, just temporarily, to recover.

“Where's Eric?” I mutter,

“He went to check on his boys. Today, made him realise alot of things."

My eyes narrow, “Why didn’t he answer me when I linked him?”

“We ran into a spot of trouble.”

“In the city?

“It looks like you were right. He is creating more Lycans. They were waiting for us.

As the light catches his skin. I notice old stains of blood that hadn't been wiped away properly. No one from my businesses had informed me that they were having problems.

“Where too in the city?”

“Eric called it the Southbank, you know, down by the river that passes through. We were attacked, we killed as many as we could. There was no sign of Trey or Cassandra anywhere.”

“You couldn't sense them?" Klaus asks “Yes and No.

“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”

“It means that Trey is doing ne biting, connecting more to him. I means thatte knows what he is doing. Hexs: smaking it difficult for “> me to sitgle him out in a place that is packed. I never thought of the idiots smart, which makesme thirik this is Cassandra's idea too.” Hé bends down close toNeah. "Wake up, you are Safe. You are protected. You are loved.”

Still, there is nothing. If it wasn't for her heartbeat, she would be presumed dead.

When Klaus leaves, Devon takes the empty seat opposite me. He holds her left hand as I hold her right. =~ Unlike thé others, he doesn't tell me to leave or to get some rest. He Sits in silefice, which is unlike hina: ‘He wasreally playing the doting brother but Aero still didn’t trust Kim.

A few hours after the sun has come up, Raven returns, checking all Neah's vitals again. “I don’t understand.” She murmurs “What's wrong?” Devon demands. “That's just it. There is nothing wrong. She should be awake.

“Are you sure you haven't missed anything?”

She frownsat him and turns a MN monitor around, pointing to the different lines. “Heartbeat, good, oxygen levels, brilliant, bloods pressure, perfect.” -

Raven leans over Neah, shining a torch light into her eyes, “Pupils, reactive.”

“Raven?

“There's nothing more I can do Dane. She just needs time.”

“That wasn't what I was going to ask. Who was the Witch you saw?’

“For the antidote? The one that you get information from. Madame Curie.”

“Madame Curie?”

“Yep, she was very helpful.” Raven smiles, “Told me that it wouldn't be an easy antidote to make, but that it was possible.”

“Madame Curie is the one who got Neah in this mess in the first place. She was the one that bound her originally. Why would she help?” "I never said it was for Neah. I asked her if there was a way. I told her it was for the well being of the pack and she agreed.”

"She agreed?”

"Yes. As simple as that." NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
