The Alpha’s Contract

"You are not a Rogue!" Damien snaps

"All the questions you have been asking Neah." Dane frowns. "You weren't asking about her, you were asking for yourself, weren't you?"

She keeps her lips pressed togetherContent © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"You wanted to know what it felt like. You wanted to know how to control it." He continues. "You wanted to know if you were feeling the same thing as what she felt."

She shrugs her shoulders. Not giving a clear answer.

"What does your Wolf think?" I ask

She snorts at me. "Midnight hasn't spoken to me since Jenson's machines got switched off. Yet I know she hates me, she hates you." She points at Dane and then her mate. "And you."

Her hand moves to the mark on her neck and she faces Damien. "I thought this was forever, but you care more about your friend than you do me." “I've never said that and it is forever.” Damien mutters. “You are my mate. I just asked you to help her. She has been nothing but kind to you!" "Until she swooped in and tried to take my place."

“What the hell are you talking about, Raven?" Dane demands. "Have you become that much of a self centred brat?”

"A brat?" She laughs, but the emotion doesn't reach her eyes.

“That's how you are acting.” Dane growls. “You are not the sister I raised. You are turning out to be exactly like Jenson!”

She smiles smugly. "We are twins after all."

"Raven." Damien sighs

She puts her hands up and shakes her head. "That's why you are here now, isn't it? To force me to go and help the dying Lycan while I am dealing with my own problems."

"She's called Mallory and don't bullshit me. I know you liked her. So help her."

"No."

"You made an oath." Dane snaps. "You promised to help look after the people of our pack."

"I did."

"If you are saying Mallory isn't part of this pack, then you are saying that I'm not either!" Damien frowns

"Damien is the Beta here." Dane reminds Raven, though now, I was starting to think none of what they are saying is sinking in. She's too far gone. Trapped in her own little chaotic mind.

"And he couldn't even be bothered to

take an oath so that he could link you all." She half laughs, amused by her own comment. "That suggests he doesn't really want to be here. Or maybe he just favours his own kind over us."

Damien takes a step back. Frustration and confusion on his face.

"Dane, I need to speak to you." I mutter

He glances over to me and dips his head in acknowledgement.

"You can say what you need to say, right here, Hunter." Raven snarls

“Fine!" I smile back at her and turn to Dane. "Some promises just can't be kept."

"What kind of cryptic message is that?" Raven demands

"It's not cryptic and Dane understands exactly what I'm saying."

She glares at me. Every bit of her anger is aimed at me, but she stays completely still. There is silence between the four of us. Neither of the other men knew what to say to Raven and it seemed like she was waiting on us to say something.

"So what's your plan, Raven?" I ask

"Excuse me?" It wasn't what she was expecting to be asked.

"This, it's part of your plan, right? What do you hope to achieve? Do you want Damien to reject you? Do you plan on killing everyone in some kind of revenge plot for your

е

brother? What is it that you, Raven

Black, wants?"

"I don't know, Abraxas, maybe I want you to tell everyone how you are mated to a Lycan!" She folds her arms across her chest, seemingly pleased with herself.

Dane and Damien both turn to stare at me.

"Is this how it's going to go, is it? You are going to start telling lies about people."
