The Alpha’s Contract

I look at Silas, who is still standing completely still as Indy tries to hug the shit out of him. But I see no dark cloud.

"A dark cloud? You mean like the darkness that can take hold of Lycans?"

Klaus shakes his head. "This is different, and it comes from dark magic. Xavi has one." He points to the air above him.

"Going away helped you, didn't it?" I ask quietly.

He looks at his new mate, and a smile slowly appears. "It was one of the best things I have ever done." his hand casually runs through the white fur, and Xavi butts his head into Klaus's leg. "Now we just need to kill the Witch to break the curse." "In the meantime, what do we do about that?" Dane points to Indy and Silas. She was still holding onto him.

"I've got it," Brax scowls. He starts walking towards them but stops and pivots around to face us. "Where's Madison?"

"Probably with Blair in the gardens," I tell him.

"Maddie seems to keep Blair from getting into trouble."

He nods and turns back to Indy and Silas.

"Will you be staying?" I ask Klaus.

He looks at Xavi, "For now. This curse needs to be broken."Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"She needs to fucking die," Dane growls.

Klaus rolls his eyes. "Xavi says, in the most glorious way possible."

"That can be arranged." Dane smiles and winks at me.

"Indy, you have to let him go." Brax snaps.

"If I let him go, I might not get to hug him again." Indy cries.

"What will you do if he recognises you? You are blood-tied to me, so you can't do anything until we get that taken care of."

"What?!"

I spin around to see Maddie and Blair. The pain is written all over Maddie's face. Her eyes widen as her bottom lip quivers, and a tear rolls down her cheek.

"You blood-tied yourself to someone else?" she croaks as Blair drapes an arm over Maddie's shoulders.

"Madison, can we go somewhere and talk about this?"

"You won't even mark me, and yet you willingly blood-tied yourself to someone. Why would you do that to me, Brax? I thought... I thought we were good now. Is it because she is a Wolf? Do you think she is better than me?" "It's not like I've slept with her." Brax snaps. "You weren't there, Madison. It was a life-or-death situation."

She opens her mouth to speak but stops and shakes her head as she slowly backs away.

"Madison!"

Blair leaves with her, and Brax hurries after them.

"Yes, whenever Brax is involved, there is always drama," Klaus mutters to Xavi.

"At least he isn't killing anyone," Dane mutters with a smirk as I watch Orion drag Indy away from Silas.

"Yes, twins," Klaus confirms, nodding at Xavi.

I didn't like only listening to one side of a conversation, but it must be hard for Xavi to only be able to communicate with Klaus.

"Lycans," I add, assuming Xavi was asking about the boys. I glance at my boys, who are casually trying to reach Dane's pockets, likely looking for snacks.

Evrin had grown a lot in the past

week and was now a good few inches taller than his brother. He was definitely developing at a much quicker rate, and he even looked older He didn't have the little round baby face any more. Yet there are

still no signs of Logan shifting.

It shouldn't worry me, but it does, especially when I watched Evrin shift almost nightly. Why could one twin shift now while the other can't? Would Logan have to wait until he was thirteen? "Klaus, why don't you take the guests to your place?" Dane suggests.

Dane waits until they have moved away and wraps his arms around me. "You need to stop worrying. You were the one who told me that it is normal for Lycans to shift at thirteen. Look at them both. Evrin is a miniature version of you..

shifted early. He is just following in his mother's footsteps."

"I know, but..."

"If Logan gets to thirteen and it doesn't happen, then we will find out why." He presses his lips to my cheek. Confident and unphased. couldn't put my finger on it, but something just felt off when it came to the boys.

Mallory called it 'mother's intuition.'
