The Alpha’s Contract

"You don't trust me do you?" He asks

"You are not trustworthy."

He takes a swig from the bottle and puts it back in front of me. "See. Now drink. We have to move soon."

He moves to the window, scanning the area. I knew we were still in the forest, but not Black Shadow's forest because there are no abandoned cabins there.

"Is Samara the Witch?" I ask. It couldn't be him if I was mated to him.

"No. I am. Well, half Witch. Though I am particularly proud of how strong I am." He turns back to face me. "Samara is the only one that knows that about me, and you obviously. Clearly my Lycan side has been linked with yours. Even funnier knowing that you are a Wolf" He lets out a low growl. "You thought your Witch side outweighed your Lycan side?"

"I did, until I stumbled upon you. You scented me when I was hiding in the pack as Ash Thomas."

"Only briefly, I thought my mind was playing tricks. I picked up your scent and then, in seconds, it was gone."

“Had to keep myself hidden while I sussed out the pack. I couldn't have you ruining it for me, could I." He gives me a big grin.

"That's how you disconnected the link to Neah? Because you can hide who you truly are?"

"Yes."

"She will kill you."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"I'm sure she will try, but will she kill you in the process?"

He does a final check outside and pulls me to my feet. Ushering me out into the forest. Even though it was dark, the birds were already singing, a sign the sun would be rising soon. I don't fight Cooper, there was no point, he had the upper hand. So I walk, letting him guide me through the forest until I recognised the location where Dane had asked me to bring clothes for Neah.

"Where are we going?"

"Well seeing as my little escapee has abandoned her house, I thought we could spend a few hours there. You know, close by but not too far away. Get some decent rest instead of that shitty cabin."

"You don't think they will come looking here?"

"Why would they? Blair and Samara are tightly locked up. But right now, I'm more interested in you. You haven't once complained about not having your Wolf. Why?"

I shrug my shoulders and keep walking.

"Now you stop talking!" He mutters in annoyance, "And I was just starting to like you."

I keep quite for a little while and then ask the question that has been bugging me. "Why Blair and not Maddie?"

"Maddie is weak. I don't need her. She is a waste of resources. Though I am impressed she made it back to the pack." He didn't say anything about Samara.

"So tell me Klaus," his husky voice runs right through me. "Why are you so calm? could slit your throat. I could pierce your chest with my lovely tittle blade and rip your insides out. could force you to shift skin you and make a nice winter coat."

I glance over my shoulder. "Because you need me. That was why you agreed to leave everyone alone if I came with you. What is Samara to you?"

"A pain in my fucking ass." He stops me. "You don't see the resemblance?"

"Can't say I have really looked at her. I've been busy trying to help Maddie."

"She is my sister. Same father, different mother."

I laugh and he glares at me. "What the fuck is so funny about that?"

"One of the guys thought Samara had a thing for you."

"Ew, don't be so fucking disgusting." He shakes his head. "How long did it take for them to figure out Sam was working with me?"

I considered lying. Telling him that

only I had figured it out. But it

wouldn't achieve anything. Th

might if he thinks she is about to be slaughtered.

"Since she arrived."

"So why are they keeping her alive?"
