The Alpha’s Contract

Neah

'She could be right.' Nyx murmurs. 'There could be more out there.'

'Even if there are, they never bothered to look for me? You know as well as I do that they would have felt it when my binding was broken. They would have heard me when I linked everyone. Not one of them has even tried to contact me. Not one of the Lycans here have mentioned White Cliffs.' Dane watches me as I shuffle Evrin around, trying to get comfortable. I don't remember feeling like this so early on when I was pregnant with the boys.

I frown when I could feel Dane searching my mind, looking for some clue on my silence.

"Do you really believe that was where your parents met?" I finally ask Samara.

She hikes her shoulders up around her chin and lowers her gaze. “I don't know. I just." She frowns. "When Damien told me the name, it rang a bell. Like a forgotten piece of information, hiding in my brain. I hadn't even thought about her until Dakota arrived and now it's like an itch I need to scratch."

After a brief pause, she looks up at us. "You know, find out about her and learn about that side that makes up my gics."

"We know what you mean." Damien speaks softly to her and I watch as she gives him a small smile. Her cheeks slowly turn rosy. Quickly, she starts talking to me again, trying to hide the blush that was deepening the colour on her cheeks.

"Don't you wonder? If it really is a place where our bloodline runs deep, don't we deserve to know?" Samara presses and points at my twins. "Don't they deserve to know everything about themselves?"

I couldn't hide my scowl. I already knew where this was going. She wanted to go to White Cliffs. And in a weird way, she was asking my permission.

"I need time to think." I mutter. "It's not a simple case of packing up and heading to a pack I've never heard of. I have kids."

"She is also pregnant." Dane adds, "And supposed to be taking it easy." He gives me a look that dares me to agree to this stupid idea.

"Klaus." I murmur to Damien. "Go and ask him if he can find any other information on White Cliffs other than them being up north. And take Samara with you."

"No dungeon?" Samara asks quickly.

"For now, no." I confirm. She had a hand in killing her brother, letting her have a bit of breathing space was the least I could reward her with. She smiles at me. "I won't let you down."

Damien is grinning at her too, and not in a 'we're just friends way'. He liked her more than that, but she seems to be completely unaware.

They leave together and Dane sits next to me as Logan climbs up on to his lap. "Did you see what I saw?"

I nod. "They will figure it out. It's not our business."

"I don't think they're mates."

I shrug my shoulders. "Eric wasn't mated to his wife."

"True." He throws a giggling Logan up into the air and catches him

easily. You really don't want to

know anymore about your background do you?"

I shake my head. "If the way my parents tried to get rid of me is anything to go by. I can only imagine the others, if there are any, they are probably just as bad."

"It's not necessarily all of them. And in no way am I trying to defend your parents for their actions. But maybe they weren't prepared for you. Maybe they didn't know that you shifting so early was a possibility He frowns, "The whole situation has me thinking about what Blair said in the early days. How she wanted what was hers. To take the pack as she was the eldest even though it was never your fathers. It sounds like your mother may have left everything behind to be with him. To set up a new life and there were a bunch of them that followed."

"You think they were some kind of forbidden couple?"

"Possibly. Maybe your father was nobody and your grandparents didn't want them together."C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"Does that happen? They were fated mates." I ask

"It happens more than you realise."

"It would explain why Moonshine was always hidden."
