The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0481

"Why would we tell him?" I ask

Dane's hand wraps around my wrist. "I need to talk to you." He pulls me away with urgency and doesn't stop until we get to Mallory and Eric's home.

"Sit down." He tells me as soon as we walk through the door.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Dane, what's going on?"

*There is something that I need to tell you. I have been trying to figure out how for a long time and now, it seems like my hand is being forced."

"You're trying to tell me you had a twin."

"You kn... Klaus told you." He frowns

I shrug my shoulders and nod. "I don't know why you didn't tell me, especially when I got pregnant with the boys, but it would have been nice to know if multiples run in the family, to prepare me for whatever is in here." I pat my stomach and realise how hungry I am. I hadn't eaten for almost twelve hours.

"It's more than that. Did he tell you what happened to them?"

"Stillborn." I feel the lump in my throat. It must be every mothers worst nightmare

He shakes his head at me.

"They weren't?"

"No. It was the story I was told. But it wasn't the truth. It's not a new thing I have discovered either and the reason why Eris is freaking out is because Silas is my twin. I'm guessing by Eris's reaction, we look alike."

"I'mdreaming, right?' i mutter to Nyx.

'Nope.' Nyx mutters. This is very much real life.'

My eyes lock with his"Are you telling me that you have a twin out there that none of us know anything about?" He dips his head.

I open my mouth to say something and all that comes out is a puff of air. Should I be mad? Probably. But I think mostly it's disbelief that he has never told me.

Pushing myself off the sofa, I make my way into the kitchen. I needed to eat no matter how many questions were being fired at me by Nyx.

Dane follows me. "I'm sure you have questions."

I stop to stare at him and then carry on searching the cupboards for food. I had more than questions.

His crimson eyes follow me around the kitchen as I make myself a sandwich. I take a bite and put the rest down." What the actual fuck?!"

*There has been so much stuff going on here that there never seemed to be a decent time to tell you. What I know is that Silas was given away at birth to another family member. They couldn't have children and my father only wanted one. He only intended on having an heir until he met his mate, my stepmother, then Raven and Jenson came along."

"He just gave him away, just like that?"

"I don't think it was quite like that, but neither of them are here to tell me exactly what happened. Silas was raised overseas."

"You've never met him."

"No and I never wanted to."

"If Eris hadn't reacted that way when she saw you, would you have still told me?"

"Yes."

*Because you keep mentioning that I might be carrying more than one."

He nods his head. "The first time could have just been luck, but if you are having twins again, it was only fair I told you."

*You are right about that!" I blow out my cheeks

Maybe I hadn't spent all my anger on killing Cooper because I didn't have anything left in the tank or maybe it was because I found it almost impossible to be angry with Dane these days.

"I don't know why he is here or where he is. I will have to speak to Eris." He mutters

"No one else knows the truth about him?"

"I confided in Eric, but that is all. Everyone else that is older or were around when I was born, were all told the same thing. That I was the only one to survive. This could ruin my status, Neah."

I shake my head. "No it won't. The Wolves, they trust you and because of that thrust, they accepted me and the other Lycans, well most of the Wolves did. You won't lose them because of a dirty secret." I take my sandwich and sit down at the small table, still covered in Cooper's blood.

"I understand that you are angry." He mutters

"I'm not angry." I take another bite. "Confused, definitely but not angry. Maybe I'm on some kind of high from killing Cooper." I smile. "I have a half sibling and a cousin that I never knew existed. It's only fitting that you have a messed up family situation too."

He knocks the small table over, sending my sandwich and the plate across the room. His hands settle on my hips and he lifts me off the chair, pressing his lips against mine. "Do you know how much I love you?"
