The Alpha’s Contract

Shifting back to human form, he quietly asks if I’m okay and pulls clothes from the bag. “Why are we up here?”

“Like I said, this is where Alpha Dane told me to bring you if I needed to get you to safety” Why hadn't Alpha Dane ever mentioned it to me?

“When?”

“Hmm?” He is still looking out at the grounds and not paying attention to me. I hadn't heard anything apart from those footsteps outside my bedroom door. I hadn’t seen any other Lycans and the growing pit in my stomach was making me feel sick.

“When...when did he tell you? “Yesterday. When you were in the hospital.”

I didn't know if he was lying or telling the truth. I just knew this was wrong. Being here, everything felt wrong. And where was Alpha Dane? He must be feeling my panic. I wish I could link him.

“Hungry?” Devon asks, as I lower myself to the floor.

“No."

“Are you sure? You haven't really left your room all afternoon.”

He had been watching?

‘I'm fine.” I murmur, glancing over to the forest. Hoping that some of them would come back. Alpha Dane, Klaus, Beta Eric, anyone.

“Suit yourself.” He mutters.

I could feel his eyes on me, waiting for me to move. If I don’t fight, maybe it would buy me some time, maybe he would leave me alone

“You gave me quite a scare.” He mutters, biting into an apple. “That fucking bitch drugging you, that was never the plan.”

“Plan?” I pull my knees to my chest and keep my eyes low.

“Alpha Trey’s plans were nearly ruined.” He takes another bite of the apple

Alpha Trey, he was working for him all along

“Are you....are you even my brother?"

“Nope. I just have a very strong resemblance to your family. Alpha Trey made sure of it, he knew it would be the only way for you to believe me.” “I could sense you.

“Of course you can, you dumb bitch. You have Alpha blood coursing through you. Really, Neah, I expected more from you.”

“You... you linked me.”

“And yet you still haven't figured it out.” He tosses the apple core off the roof and points to me. "Alpha blood.” As if that answered everything “It was just a game!” I feel anger bubbling inside of me. like nothing I have ever felt before. “Just a fucking game!

He takes a step back from me, laughing

“Is that it, that is all you think I'm worth! I believed in you. I..." Ishake my head, lost for words.

"So did everyone here. Eric, Klaus, but you were the biggest believer of all. As if twould hide out in a forest all day-watching Alpha Trey’s house for years, no no, my job was far mere important.” -

I had been so stupid “You are just going to hand me over te him?” “Kicking and screaming if you don’t come willingly.” He shrugs his shoulders

“You are a fucking arsehole!” I push myself up on my feet. “I should have let Alpha Dane rip you apart.”

“But you couldn't, because you felt sorry for your little brother.” He mocks my voice

A pain shots through my head as I stare at him. White hot rage burned inside gime. I had spent my entire life being used as a pawn. Being a punéh bag for when they needed to vert or when they just felt like it.. Céntent belongs to

“You don’t get to do this!" I snap “And what are you going to do to step me? Alpha Trey will be here the minute I call him. I wasn't being sucked back into that life. I'm not going to let it happen. I look around, there is nothing here I could use to defend myself. Nothing.

Another pain rips through my head almest bringing me to my knees and I fight with every ounce of my being to keep myself upright, to not show any weakness to him.

“There's nothing you can do. Neah.” He muses. "Your life has already been planned for you and you are all alone.”

I'm here.’ A female voice rings through my head and pain shoots through my entire body.

My body hurls itself at Devon, large claws appearing at the tips of my fingers;that plunge straight inte his chest-As my hand comes out> fragments of his heart are attached to-my claws. ice “This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

He croaks as he stares at me. The claws quickly disappear, leaving pieces of his heart sitting in my hand.

Push him.' The voice mutters inside my head. ‘Push him over.’
