The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0573


"No, the one to turn me into a frog! Of course I'm talking about the one to hide my scent."

"It was a genuine question, you don't need to be sarcastic!" Indy scowls at me. "Did your mother not teach you good manners?"Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

I had met a lot of people who were afraid of me as a Hunter, but not anyone quite like Indy. She didn't seem to care one bit, almost like Neah. Though I wasn't the Wolf in the room that had a problem with her. Xavi's eyes had been fixed on her for almost the entire conversation. Only briefly leaving her to look at Klaus.

"Yes he is always like this." Klaus whispers to Xavi

Indy gets the little vial of blue liquid from the safe. Grasping it tightly in her hand. She slowly turns to face us. "This is all I have. I don't think I can get anymore."

“One drop every hour." I nod, "I remember, but it's not for me. It's for the white Wolf."

She turns to Klaus with an outstretched hand. Behind him, Xavi's snout twitches, a low rumble vibrates through him.

"Not a full blooded Witch!" I snap at him. My abrupt announcement makes Indy jump. She lets go of the bottle. Thankfully Klaus grabs it before it hits the floor. For a moment, everyone is silent.

Xavi's amber eyes shift to me.

"She is on our side. She is a half breed. Her Wolf is stronger. I suggest you pull it together if you are going to help."

Klaus closes his eyes with a frown.

"Go on, tell me what your mate is saying because I would love to know." I keep my eyes on Xavi

"He called you a moron." Klaus mutters

I shrug my shoulders. I had heard worse.

"It just hides the scent, right?" Klaus questions Indy. "It doesn't take away the other abilities, healing, strength, his connection to me?"

"I've used it. I swear it just hides your scent."

Klaus squats down next to Xavi, "Are you sure you want to do this? You don't know what is going to happen out there. She could see you and she could kill you on the spot."

There is a brief silence as Klaus squeezes a tiny blob of blue liquid on Xavi's tongue. He loops his arms around the neck of the white Wolf, pressing his face into his white fur. “Make sure you come back to me."

"Orion." Indy mutters.

Orion moves forward to the door.

"Orion will leave with you. We are always seen together, it might look suspicious if you are wandering around by yourself." She hands Orion the bottle, "Just in case you are not back within the hour."

They slip out the door and quickly across the courtyard, carefully navigating the dead. Thankfully no one sees them.

"I am still shocked that his place doesn't stink of death." I mutter as I watch through the peephole. "I was expecting to smell it when the door opened, but nothing." 

"It's weird." Indy mutters. "You seem to be able to see everything and yet the smell doesn't bother you."

“We need to talk about that!" Klaus tells me as he watches through the other peephole.

"We need to talk about what you have done to your hair."

"It's not a big deal. I cut it after I couldn't wash the blood out."

"A Witch's blood?"

"Xavi's." He replies "But you didn't answer my question. Why did you go to a Witch?"

"Because I'm not an idiot."

"Guys, can we focus on what they are doing out there? We can talk about hair cuts another time." Indy scowls

"The Wolf has gone up the steps, Orion is standing guard."

"Thank you."

She starts to pace in a small circle. Stepping away from the peephole, I study her. "Orion knows what he is doing."

"I know."

"You are worried about your friend."

"Unless we break this hold Thalia has, he is my only friend. I don't want anything else to happen to him."

"He's fine." Klaus mutters, "They are already on their way back."

"No one saw them?"

"It seems that way." He confirms. "See, they could....."

I look back at him. He had his eye pressed right up against the peephole, but he had changed. Anger pulsates from him. His tone had also changed, "The Witch is here."
