Bonds that bind us (The Alpha’s Contract P2)



Neah

"They are here?" I ask as the boys climb off of me. "They made it back with no problems?"

Dane nods with a smile, which quickly fades. "Klaus told me that the ride was simple. No issues."

"And you don't like that, do you?" I ask as I watch him.

He leans down and presses his lips to my cheek. "When a lot has happened, it's hard to imagine anything can be simple."

"Do they know if they were followed?"

He shakes his head. "Time will tell. Now, are you going to tell me what you and Samara discussed, or do I need to go looking inside that brain of yours," he mutters as he pulls me up from the chair.

"I will tell you later."

The boys run around us as Dane pushes the pram. He keeps glancing at me with a raised eyebrow as I try not to laugh at him. "You think this is funny? They need to make these things easier for taller men.

He is hunched over as he pushes the girls. His large frame made him look as though he was pushing a children's toy pram.

I shake my head and smile. "Shouldn't we have left them with someone? You said that Klaus and Brax were not alone."

"Do you think Brax would risk bringing them here if he thought it was going to be a problem?"

"I guess not..." I trail off as I see the van lights creeping towards the gates. I had missed Klaus. Even though he often did other things in the pack, it didn't feel right without him here. Apart from Dane, he was one of the first men that had gained my trust.

The van comes to a stop, and Klaus jumps out with a big smile on his face. His eyes settled on mine, and already, I could see something had changed. For one, he had cut off his long hair, but his presence just seemed... different.

Brax is next to get out and slides the van door open. A white Wolf leaps out, followed by a man with deep blue eyes. Brax turns back to the van, holding his hand out for someone else. The woman, who was Silas's true mate, climbs out and keeps her face turned down. Her hair is whiter than paper. I had never seen that on a Wolf.

"Congrats," Brax mutters, eyeballing the girls as the boys throw themselves at Klaus. "They are going to keep you busy."

The three strangers hold themselves back, watching us with a mix of concern and worry, especially the woman with white hair. She couldn't take her eyes off Dane.

"Neah, this is Xavi. My mate." Klaus introduces the white Wolf. "Thalia cursed him years ago; he is trapped this way."

"He is also a Witch Hunter," Brax adds.

"This is Orion. He is unable to speak. Thalia cut out his tongue." Klaus continues, ignoring Brax. "And this is Indy." The half Witch.' Nyx whispers.

"It appears Thalia has angered everyone in some way." Dane frowns.

Indy was still staring at Dane.

"It's his twin," Brax mutters as he walks towards her.

"I know. It's scary how alike they look," she continues to stare. "I know you are not Silas," she looks around, "Is he here?"

"Yes," Dane tells her. "Though he is under some sort of spell."

"I know," she sighs sadly. "I just hoped being away from White Cliffs would somehow break it."

"He is trying; he knows the truth now, but he does forget."

Her golden eyes light up as she looks past us. "Silas!" she screeches and charges across the ground, hurling herself at an approaching Silas. Indy leaps into his chest, throwing her arms around him. "Oh, I have missed you so much."

'Dane didn't say Silas can't remember her.' Nyx mutters.

He looks at us with confusion, keeping his arms wide as though he is afraid to touch her.

"Silas, it's me, it's Indy." She tells him

"You are the half-breed from White Cliffs," he mutters. "You are only a teenager. How did you end up here?"

That memory charm is some fucking good shit. Nyx sighs.

Like me, Nyx had been hoping Indy would snap him out of it, but whatever Thalia had done, it was more powerful.

"Do you see it?" Klaus mutters to his mate, Xavi.

"See what?" Dane asks.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Klaus sighs, "The curse on him is strong. A black cloud hovers above him."
