The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0520

Neah

He tips my head back and leaves a lingering kiss on my lips. "How is it that you can be so hopeful after everything that has happened in your life?"

"Because it's not me I'm thinking about." My hands sit on my small bump, "I know if there is a problem, we can handle it. Because that is what we do. That doesn't mean I want that for any of our pups."

"Which is why you are not keen on exploring the White Cliffs topic." He softly combs his fingers through my curls. "It's not about you, it's about the ones who call you mum. You want to protect them."

He presses his lips against mine once more. The waves that had barely been licking our feet, suddenly crash into me. Dane does everything in his power to hold on to me as we are both knocked over into the water.

He loses his grip on me and the waves drag me out from the beach and away from him. My heart races as panic sets in. I had no idea how to swim.

Just as my face clears the surface to take a breath. Another wave hits me and sucks me down. As I'm pulled beneath the surface, hands find my shoulders. They half drag me, half carry me from the sea and up the beach as I try to spit and cough out all the sea water I had swallowed.

"Are you good?" I look up at Dane. He's leaning over me, his black hair is wet and stuck down to his forehead. Crimson eyes are etched with concern, but it wasn't him. That odd accent rings in my ears as he repeats the words. Turning my head, I see Dane a few metres from us, hunched over and spitting up water

It takes a second for my senses to fall back into place as Nyx mutters 'That's Silas.'Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Silas?" I splutter at the man standing over me.

*I was waiting patiently by the car." He points up the beach as if I didn't know where the car was. "Neither of you were paying attention to the waves. Just because you are capable of healing, it does not mean that the ocean won't take that power for itself. Many Wolves have been lost to treacherous waters."

"Were you listening to us?" I frown as I get up.

"No." He stares at me with as much curiosity as I had about him. "I saw the wave hit you and drag you out. Why didn't you try to swim?"

"I can't." I cough up more water as he raises an eyebrow at me.

*Interesting."

*Leave her alone." Dane mutters as he crawls towards me.

*I am keeping my hands to myself." Silas tells him, holding them up. "Would you rather that I didn't help? I could have left her to drown, though that would have been unnecessary and would have cost me my life."

"I want you to explain why you followed us." Dane snaps

"You think I followed you?" Silas sneers. "I would say it was the other way round. There is a small house just up there, around the curve of the beach. It's where I have been staying." Cóntent from NóvelDrámá!!

"I couldn't scent you." I mutter. I thought it would have been obvious after the restaurant, but it's only now, up close that I could smell him but it was still mixed with the scent of the ocean.

*The beauty of staying near the beach." He tells me. "The mix of the sea breeze, the constant air flow and the scents of mother nature is enough to make it seem like I was never here."

*How long have you been here?" I ask as Dane checks me over

"Here? About a week." Silas tells me.

"Why were you waiting by the car?" Dane demands

"I wanted to know why you followed me. It's not like you have tried to find me previously, is it? And again, you were having a moment. I wasn't going to interrupt. There would be a time when I could say my piece."

"I was told you were stillborn." Dane mutters

"What about after you found out the truth?" Silas stares at him. "And don't say you didn't know. Because this is not the reaction of someone who finds out their twin is alive."

"I had siblings to look after." Dane is frustrated. I see the way he stares at Silas, ready to break his jaw. "And what about you, it sounds like you knew about me?"

"New information. Why do you think I'm here?" Silas's crimson eyes shift to me. Likely because I hadn't stopped staring. It was almost freaky how identical they are. And I still couldn't look away.

He winks at me.

"You came to find Dane?" I ask

"Yes and no."

*Do you want something from me?" Dane demands.

"I'm just curious." Silas tells him. "I'm a little surprised that you are not."

"Where do you usually live? Where is your pack?" I ask. He was definitely here alone.

*Sorry, I thought I had made myself clear when I informed you of Cooper's prisoners. I live in White Cliffs."

"You are an Alpha?" I was so confused. If it was a place where my family was from. Why would a Wolf be running

it?

He snorts. "No. Why on Earth would I want that role?"

The smell of power tells me that he is lying. Nyx murmurs. I trusted her. His scent is thick with power. Nothing like Damien or Erics and possibly, even stronger than Dane's. Was Silas the first born?
