The Alpha’s Contract

Abraxas

Madison is asleep when I get to the hospital. She had been in and out of sleep for the last couple of days, well, mostly asleep. Klaus insisted she just needed longer to heal and it was her body's way of making it happen. It just feels unnatural, having to wait this long for someone to heal.

The others had it handled with Blair and Samara, if they needed me, they would know where to find me.

I sit by Madison's head. Her face is scrunched up like she is in some sort of pain. Her knees are tucked up to her chest and she lets out tiny whimpers as her fingers twitch at the pillows. She wasn't in pain though, every time she slept, she relived what happened.

I had managed to get bits of information in the short slots of time she was awake. Cooper had taken her. He had guided her towards the edge of the pack forest. Then pinned her down and thankfully she put up a fight. She might not have done so a few months ago.

He still managed to inject her with something. She had told me her body became heavy and felt like she was losing control. He took her to a building and beat her until she was black and blue. Those bruises, still evident on her body. She didn't remember everything. She said it was fuzzy but he did tell her it was all because he saw her with me. He told her that she was broken. That a Lycan shouldn't be with a Hunter and that he was going to fix her. That she was being punished for her actions.

He had chosen her, not me and that makes me think he's far weaker than he makes out.

He wasn't wrong about our kind being together, but to do this to her, it was disgusting. I shake my head, I was already planning to skin him alive. Slowly and with a very blunt tool.

Klaus comes into the room with a new IV bag and I push all the dark thoughts from my head. There was plenty of time to daydream.

"Still asleep?" He asks. There was definitely no way he would make it as a Hunter.

I gesture to her, because it was pretty obvious.

"It's a good sign. It means her brain is giving her body the best chance He changes over the bag of fluids.

"She just needs time." Conds.

"She will never be the same, will she." I state

"Are you mad at her?"

I shake my head. I couldn't be mad at her. Though this should never have happened.

Madison moans and stretches out.

เอน

Her chestnut eyes peek out from under her lids, until everything falls. into focus, She stares at me, her chestnut eyes full of sadness and pain. Her fingers move to her face, just like they did everytime she woke. Feeling for the stitches and making sure it wasn't just a dream.

She winces as she touches them and her eyes become watery. "I made it?"

"Yes." She asked the same thing each time she woke too. Looking for confirmation she was safe. It had become her little routine.

Reaching for my hand, her fingers curl tightly around mine and she tugs me towards the bed, just like yesterday.

"I will leave you to it." Klaus takes the empty bag with him as I settle on the bed next to Madison.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She buries herself into my chest,

n

snuggling in as far as she could. Within minutes she is asleep again Her chest rises and falls against mine in a continuous rhythm. Her lips part as her body relaxes, but her fingers remain in place, clinging to me and preventing me from leaving.

I sniff her hair, hoping for some sign of her jasmine scent but there is still nothing. She smells just like any other Human.
