The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0025

*Neah needs to tell you something." She smirks at him

*So why are you here?" He replies

*Support."

He snorts at the word.

"..." I take a deep breath. "I told you my brother never spoke of his Wolf."

"You lied to me?" He interrupts me.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

*No. Nothing like that. I didn't realise that everyone has a Wolf that is someone else."

His eyes shift to me and he cocks a brow.

"I thought, when you talked about Aero, it was an Alpha thing. I...." I glance over to Raven who gestures to keep going. "I didn't know it was everyone."

*And now you do?!"

"I never saw them at Moonshine."

"You never saw them?" He asks curiously

I shake my head and tell him what I had told Raven.

*No one talked about their Wolf? No one ever shifted in front of you?"

I shake my head. I knew how stupid it sounded. I grew up in a Wolf pack but had never seen a shift, not until the attack here.

"It's weird, right?" Raven asks

"Never?" He asks me again

"I never thought about it. I didn't need to. My job was to clean and be beaten." I didn't mean to say the last bit, it just slipped out.

There is a flash of anger on his face. "Being beaten is not a job."

For a moment, the room was silent and all I could hear was my own heartbeat pulsing through my body.

*My brother had a rule. Shifting was only allowed beyond the trees." I shrug my shoulders. "I never went in the trees."

Alpha Dane closes his crimson eyes. "They never shifted even when they....hurt you?"

"No."

His eyes flash open. "Then it looks like we will be going to Moonshine after all. Raven, go find Eric, tell him to round up the best."

"We are attacking?" She mutters

"Possibly." His eyes settle on me. "You are coming too, Neah."

Alpha Dane tells me to change into something more appropriate than joggers and a tee. I change into a pair of black jeans and pull on a pair of combat boots. He walks into the bedroom just as I pull a sweatshirt over my head.

He doesn't say anything about the clothes I have chosen as he grabs his jacket from the closet. The same one he had the day I first met him.

*Ready?"

"....I think so?"

"Good, the cars are waiting."

"What about the snow?"

He stops to look at me. "The snow isn't that deep, but that's not what you're really worried about, is it?"

I shake my head

"I'm not taking you back. I'm taking you to piss them off." He smiles at me

I open my mouth to say something but close it again and take a deep breath, giving him a small smile.

"Do you think you will get the answers you are looking for?"

"I'm not leaving until I do!"

I follow him as we head out of the house. Several large vehicles were lined up with people already getting in them. Except the vehicle at the front which was the limo I had already ridden in. The driver stood next to the car, holding the door open.

*They will follow us so far, and will hang back, but will be close enough to attack if your brother doesn't

cooperate." Alpha Dane mutters. "We don't want to appear as if we are planning to attack."

I watch Beta Eric get into the limo first.

*And you won't be left alone with anyone." Alpha Dane adds

While I sit in silence, the men have an open conversation about the plan. Every so often, I could feel eyes on me but neither ask me any questions.

"Well, it's not abandoned." Beta Eric mutters as he looks out the window.

I look out of my window and see the people that had taken great joy in beating me.
