The Alpha’s Contract

He nods his head and bounces Logan on his knees. "And why Trey was so desperate to make a deal with me. Who were they preparing to fight against?"

"You think they were going to fight White Cliffs?"

“The eagerness. The unwillingness to read the contract even when warned. How he so easily agreed to letting you come with me. It sounds like we missed something. Never have I had an Alpha that has been so desperate to make a contract with me without reading through my terms and conditions. Normally, it has always been the other way around. I would practically force them into it, but I would still give them a chance to opt out, if it suited me."

He pulls faces at Logan as he catches him, "But Trey was beyond desperate. It may not have been that they were going to fight, but maybe the plan was to protect themselves and they did not in any way have the numbers. They needed help."

"What would they have been fighting over?"

His crimson eyes lock on mine.

"Me?" I scoff

"Your mother had died. You had become the Alpha. Though Trey and Cassandra were pretty quick at binding you again. But you said it yourself, the day you turned eighteen, for a short while, you were unbound again. If you had stayed that way long enough, Nyx may have shown up and they would have been able to find you. They couldn't locate you when you were bound."

"You really think they were coming for me? Because that sounds insane."

"In the grand scheme of things, does it?"

"They could have come and found me at any point since I've been here." I mutter

"They could have. Or maybe something changed. Maybe they realised just how powerful you can really be and have decided that it's best to keep their distance."

"That is just crazy."

"Is it? Think about how things have happened. And I'm not talking about the stuff that happened to you. Changing Humans into Lycans long before they attacked us and long before I was in the picture. Damien has said Cassandra did it because they would be great weapons. Yes they had plans for you, but it seems like they must have had other plans too, because I didn't know you until I set eyes on you in that office of Treys."

"Even if we consider that what you are saying is true, why would they have come for me?"

"To take you back to where you should live. Raise you to be the strong female Alpha that you are."

I shuffle over and slide Evrin onto Danes' lap so I can get up. I loosely retie my hair into its bun, ignoring the escaped strands as I mull over Danes words.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

"It's a lot of maybes!" I sigh

"It is, I'm just trying to work through

possible scenarios. Maybe it was because they knew your parents tried to abandon you. Maybe, they were trying to save you. Maybe they wanted to offer you something better."

"Anything would have been better than the crap Trey and the others put me through. Practically starving, dehydrated and barely able to stand sometimes without the room

spinning. All I ever wanted was to be

accepted for who I am" vel

"Like I said, it's only theories. We don't know if any of it is the truth." He shrugs his shoulders at me

"But you think I should consider it?"

"I think you should do whatever it is you need to do. I'm not forcing you either way. This has to be your choice."

"As I said to Nyx, not one of them

has bothered to contact me when

they could have quite easily done sq. I'm not chasing after something that doesn't need to be chased after. Besides, I am carrying another set of twins. Would you really be letting me travel way up north when we don't know what we will be walking into?"

"You have a point." He smiles

“If Klaus can give Damien something that is worth investigating, I might consider it, but not until these are here.” I pat my stomach. 'We could try and sift through the links to find them.' Nyx offers

'No.' I mutter. I wanted the quietness to last. I wanted to focus on the pack and my growing family. Especially with my ever shifting son.
