The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0496

*Sure, take the bed. I will sleep on the couch."

*Thank you, Damien." She runs up the stairs as I settle on the sofa

Dottie talks her ear off at breakfast. Between mouthfuls of cereal, Dottie tries to give Samara every detail she could think of when it comes to school. I couldn't get a word in anywhere and instead, I found myself watching Samara.

Her grey eyes are bright as she listens to every word that comes from Dottie's mouth. And I was still surprised that Dottie had slept through the night without a single nightmare and because I couldn't quite believe it, I hadn't slept a wink. Well that and the fact I couldn't get Raven out of my head.

"Daddy?"

I blink a few times and smile at Dottie.

"When am I going to shift?" she asks curiously and the question catches me by surprise,

"When you are much older."

"But Evrin can." Dottie smiles at me, 'and he can barely walk."

"Neah's twins?" Samara asks

"Yes.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"One of them can shift?"

I nod

"Is that a thing?"

"Neah could when she was young."

"Wow. Do you know if my mother could?" she asks with a frown

"I don't know. I don't think there is much information on your mother and I think it's more to do with who Neah is."

"The last female Alpha." Dottie proudly announces and she looks at Samara. "Don't be sad about your mummy. I don't have one either and I'm okay."

Samara looks away, running her hand through her short blonde hair, it was starting to grow out, though she still hated it. I liked it, it suited her.

"Go get ready." I tell Dottie. She shoves another spoonful in her mouth and runs off towards the stairs.

"You want to find out about your mother?" I ask. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.

She frowns at me. "Yes and no. I understand that Neah and I are cousins and that our mothers were sisters. I know she gave me up to my dad. I know that she wasn't ready to have me. But that doesn't stop me from being curious about her. What was she like? Do I carry any of her traits? Do I resemble her?" She sighs. "Then there is the part of me that wonders if it's better this way. I can't see what I missed out on."

She passes me as she takes the dishes to the sink. Holding out her hand she waits for my mug. Her fingers catch mine as I hand it over. A sharp current makes its way up through my finger and I almost drop the mug.

Samara doesn't react to the spark. Instead she asks me if I didn't get enough sleep while slowly taking the mug from me.

*The brain is on overdrive." I tell her

"I take it you didn't talk to Eris then." she mutters with her back to me

"We talked and I rejected her."

I see her freeze, but she doesn't turn around.

"I was at the hospital with Neah and Dane. Neah wanted to talk with her, and everything that came out of her mouth was a lie."

"I lied." she whispers and I hear the sadness in her tone

"It was different. You were being forced to do something you didn't want too. She just kept spewing more and more shit. Making demands. She couldn't even look Neah or Dane in the eye as she was bullshitting them. And that Alpha Silas, was just something Cooper had told her."

"So it's not true? There is no Wolf that is trying to claim power?"

"No."

*Are you sure?" She turns around to face me, supporting herself on the counter. "They seem to come out of nowhere. And she did say she was running from him."

"I can't be sure about anything these days. But Alpha Ryan of Ashburn City is alive and well. It hasn't been taken over. Eris came from a place called White Cliffs."

She frowns at me. "I know that name."

"White Cliffs?"

"Dad told me that was where he met my mother."
