The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0491

"Is that a threat?" Dane cocks an eyebrow at her.

"I just mean..."

*Can you stop lying?" Damien mutters. "Is it even possible? Do you not understand that Dane would be ringing for Ryan. No one else."

*Alpha Silas will know it's me. I'm the only one that has ever made it this far. I'm sure they are still looking."

Damien shakes his head and gets to his feet. He looks at me and shakes his head. "I can't do this anymore." He turns to Eris, "I, Damien Black, Beta of Black Shadow, reject you, Eris Neoma of Nightfall Pack as my mate." He spits the words

"No." she stands her ground. If she was hurting, she wasn't showing it.

"Accept." Damien demands. Being here was so uncomfortable. I glanced at Dane and I knew he was feeling exactly the same.

Tears flood her eyes as she clutches her chest. "I can't."

"Yes you can, say it!"

"I can't."

"Why?" Damien snaps.

"Because you don't mean it. You're angry with me because I didn't handle things well. Don't reject me because of that. Give me a chance." She begs

I watch him pinch the bridge of his nose. "You don't even want to be here. You keep asking to leave so accept the rejection and be on your way."

"You are supposed to protect me." she frowns.Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.

*And I'm also supposed to like my mate! Normally I am willing to give people a chance to a certain degree, but you are impossible."

"I'm impossible? What the fuck does that mean?" She asks wide eyed

I quietly watch Dane tapping into a phone, neither Damien or Eris are aware as Damien tries to force her to accept the rejection. A few seconds pass and the phone beeps.

"Ryan is alive." Dane confirms. "Ashburn city is still going strong."

Eris's eyes are like saucers. She managed to stop Dane from ringing, but that hadn't stopped him from sending a message.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Damien rubs his temples. "Are you some sort of compulsive liar? Do you even know what the word 'truth' means?" "Why would you continue to lie?" I ask

Her golden eyes move to Damien like she was expecting him to bail her out, but if anything, he was even more pissed off. He sort of reminded me of a cartoon Raven had shown me, where smoke comes out of their ears.

*Do you even know Alpha Silas?" Dane asks

She looks to the floor

"Answer me!" Danes voice booms, making her jump

*Cooper told me about him." she whispers

"Cooper? Why would he tell you about him?"

She shrugs her shoulders, "Alpha Silas is related to you, isn't he?" Eris asks, "Cooper told me about the eyes. When I saw yours I knew you must be related somehow, it's such an odd colour. He told me a lot of stories about a crimson eyed man and his pack of animals."

"Did Cooper know him?"

She shrugs her shoulders

*And Ashburn city?" I press

"I don't know, just a name Cooper gave me."

"You've never met him?" Dane asks in confusion.

She slowly shakes her head

*You said you were his prisoner? Samara found you tied up." Damien mutters

"He kept me safe." She smiles like a mad woman

'He's dead and he is still somehow fucking with us.' Nyx tells me what everyone else is likely thinking

"Where are you really from?" I demand

"A place called White Cliffs. It's far away from here." Her eyes grow even wider. She had slipped and Damien could now reject her.

"I, Damien Black, Beta of Black Shadow, reject you, Eris Neoma of White Cliffs as my mate." He states it again, desperate to break the connection with her.

She felt it this time. I see it in her eyes. Pain, anger, confusion. She clutches her chest differently, like she thought her heart was going to jump out of her chest. She fights back the tears and hunches forward.

"Say it." Damien demands and for a brief moment, I hear Kyle, demanding me to accept his rejection.

"Are you going to kill me?" Eris begs

"Accept my rejection!"

Her breathing is heavy as she stares back at him.

"You are a compulsive liar, Eris. Not a single word out of your mouth can be trusted."

She lowers her eyes and whimpers. "I, Eris Neoma, accept your rejection, Damien Black, Beta of Black Shadow." She falls forward from the chair, curling up in a ball on the floor as she cries in pain. Damien stares down at her before leaving the room.

'Should we kill her? Dane asks through mindlink

I shake my head. What she is feeling, that won't go away. Not for a long time. Let her leave.'
