The Alpha’s Contract

“Oh you know how I love to wind your sister up. Nothing ever changes with her. I bet it drives Salem nuts. She didn't know, she wasn’t around to learn that Raven and Salem were no longer a thing “She's happy.” I lie

Veronica doesn’t respond. She's staring up at the house. As I look over my shoulder, I see Neah standing on the doorstep. Raven and Eric stand either side of her.

“Is that her?” Veronica whispers “Yes.”

She grips my upper arm. "She isn’t much to look at is she!” “Let go.

“You think she can take me out?” She muses.

That wasn't what I was worried about. I could sense Neah’s jealousy from here. If she shifts, I won't be able to stop it. Raven and Eric won't be able to stop it. And none of us knew what Neah is really capable of.

Grabbing Veronica's hand, I bend it back towards herself. She whimpers at the pain of her arm being in the wrong position. “Get out of my sight!” I snarl at her.

“I'm going. I’m going.” She frowns in Neah’s direction before stomping off while cradling her arm.

My eyes lock with Neah’s as I approach the house.

“Is she leaving?” Raven asks

“No. I mutter without looking at her. “She's decided to settle.”

Neah doesn't react. She stands completely still, her eyes remain locked on mine. She wasn't angry, she seemed to be confused about the jealousy she is feeling

“You are letting her stay?” Raven questions me. “After all that she has done. She's a lunatic.”

“Yes, I agree she has made some poor choices. But none of us are exactly innocent. Well, almost none of us. If she tries anything, then she will be gone. I have warned her.”

And still, Neah doesn’t speak.

Raven brushes past me, “I hope you know what you are doing, Dane. Don’t let her ruin this.

“Go inside.” I tell Neah, "I just need to speak to Eric.”

Neah’s blue eyes move to my Beta before returning to me. She nods her head and slowly retreats into the house. “How much did Raven tell her?

“Everything.” Eric murmurs. “Once she started talking, it's like she couldn't stop.”

“And what has Neah said?”

“That's just it, she hasn't said anything.”

“Nothing?”

“The last thing she asked was if Veronica was here to kill her. And that's when Raven told her everything.” “No sign of her shifting?”

“No. I watched her like a hawk

I find Neah sitting in the kitchen. Her legs folded up underneath her as she studied a bottle of half drunk juice.

She doesn't respond or even acknowledge me as I take a seat opposite. Her head was clouded with telling herself off. “You've never felt jealousy before.”

She stops spinning the bottle and her blue eyes flash up at me. “Why?”

“Because ofthat." I point to the mark on her neck. “It will make you feel’ lot of things that you have most> likely £ fever experienced before. Eric tellg-me that Raven told youo everything about Veronica.” Content bélongs to ~

“She told....told me alot.” She stutters and a small crease appears on her forehead. "She's.....she is very. * pretty.” Swnovel.net =

She is so angry. Aero mutters

“She's not you.” I tell her.

“Did....did you tell her about me?”

“I told her I claimed you and I told her you were my true mate.

She frowns at me. “There’s something I don't understand. Raven didn‘ say.”

“You want to know why I let her live!”
