The Alpha’s Contract



'Mentioned it like a warning?"

I nod

'Most likely has a spell on it. We won't know until we are up there.' He heads in the direction of the path that will take us up to the top.

There was nothing to hide us from sight. Everything was open but Xavi continued anyway. The sounds of the water grow and it's not long before I see the water coming from another larger cliff, opening up and blocking the castle and its walls from us.

Familiar clothes are abandoned on this side, but there is no sign of Brax anywhere.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Xavi doesn't mention the clothes and moves closer to the river. He places a foot into the fast flowing river and quickly removes it.

'It's been a long time since I have seen anything like this."

"Like what?" I ask as I study the walls. No one seemed to be watching us.

'It's a deterrent. No one can cross it. Actually, that is not entirely true.' He moves along the river, putting his feet in at random intervals. 'We just need to know the exact point that she crossed it.'

Xavi takes a step forward, and appears to be standing on top of the water.

I'm not sure what kind of spell this is,' he moves forward carefully, but I bet she wasn't expecting Witch Hunters. "How are you doing that?" I demand

'I'm not, it's the same way as we can see that dark magic has been used. It leaves a trace. Faint, but still a trace, the others are unable to see it. Follow me foot for foot.'

As my foot hits the water a flash of light circles my boot and it's only now that I can see the same around Xavi's feet.

Our feet hit dry land and as I turn back to the river, I watch it flow over the edge, the water hitting the rocks below. "How the hell did you do that?!*

I turn to see a woman with a hood pulled up over her head, golden eyes peeking out from underneath.

'WITCH!' Xavi roars through my head and charges forward.

Brax appears from nowhere, tackling Xavi to the ground. "Go Indy, I've got this."

She runs to the edge of the cliff, throwing herself down on her stomach, disappearing from sight.

*Brax, stop!" I demand

*Not if this asshole is going to attack her. We need Indy!"

*Brax, let go of my mate!"

He cocks a brow at me. "Your mate?"

"Yes!" I growl, "Now get the hell off of him." I glare at him and tell Xavi to listen to what Brax has to say.

The sound of metal locks puts all of us in silence. We turn to face the opening gate.

"We need to move now!" Brax whispers at us. "Come with me."

He copies the woman and runs over to the cliff edge. "Come on then you idiots!"

Rushing forwards, we do as he tells us and are ripped over the edge of the cliff and dragged back into a hole,

completely out of sight.

A man with thick dark hair drops Xavi and stares at us. The woman is further back, almost hiding behind him. Xavi settles on my legs, guarding me as he lets out a low growl.

"It's okay." I reassure Xavi, "Brax wanted us here to help."

Brax nods and points to the woman. "Half breed, but mostly Wolf. Her name is Indy. This is Orion, a Wolf" He points to the guy. "Thalia cut out his tongue so he can't speak."

I point to Xavi. "Cursed by Thalia to live forever as a Wolf. I'm Klaus, a Witch Hunter. Now does someone want to tell me why we are in a hole in a cliff?"

"It's a tunnel," Indy whispers, lowering her hood to reveal shocking white hair that was almost as bright as Xavi's fur. "It takes us to my house."

"But before we move, there are some things that you need to know about this place." Brax tells me as he watches Xavi, "Though it seems we all want the same thing."
