The Alpha’s Contract

“Like I said, you are worried about the wrong person!"

"So if she gets into trouble, then what, her father is going to come for us? You're going to come for us?"

"Yes. I will warn you once and only once. If you or any other Lycan tries anything stupid, it won't just be me or Brax that you have to worry about. Dottie is a part of Neah's family. How do you think Neah will feel after she invited you to stay here?"

"I fully support our Alpha, but I don't want the Hunter child hanging out with my kids.”

"Why, worried they will turn out like Blair?" I walk away without waiting for his reaction.

Neah is standing with her hands on her hips as I walk through the front door. "You're threatening other Lycans now?"

"It wasn't a threat. But I'm glad to see they can link you when needed."

She sighs and sits on the bottom step. "Damien. I'm sorry, okay. I had to do it. I couldn't let you do it."

"Stop apologising Neah. I keep telling you that I understand. You don't need to keep apologising to me."

"But..."

"I don't blame you, Neah, not for anything. I blame her, she took the easy way out. She didn't even try to fight for what was hers. And honestly, I have more important things to worry about."

"If you need to talk, I..."

"I don't."

She puffs out her cheeks. "Are you going to tell me what happened with Ryken?"Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"I'm sure he has already told you."

She rolls her eyes at me. "I prefer to listen to both sides."

I sit on the stairs next to her. "I won't let anything happen to Dottie."

"I know that. But we all need to make it work. We've got the original Wolves, we have Lycans, both bitten and pure bloods and then we have several Hunters. Though I'm not really sure if I can class Klaus in that category." She smiles at me. "I will speak to Ryken."

"He's a prick, Neah. Don't fall for his shit."

"It's my decision."

I nod "Where's Dane?"

"Down at the gate. Apparently there is another one."

"And you didn't go?"

"I was waiting for you to come back. Athena came and got the twins and I was going to go, but whoever is at the gate. isn't important. You do get that right? That you are not alone here. Just because she's gone, it doesn't mean you've stopped being family."

"Good, because you are stuck with me!"

I walk down to the gates with her. There's a woman standing on the other side of the gates. Her arms folded against her chest in defence. And she is human. How the fuck had a human made it out here?

She has strange grey eyes. "You don't believe me do you?" I hear her mutter to Dane

"Why would there be a human here?” Neah whispers

"There's only one way to find out."

The woman's strange grey eyes move to Neah as we approach and her lips part a little. "Shit!"

I immediately pull Neah behind me. Her life was worthier than mine and I didn't need another prick trying to take her out.

"How did you find this place?" Dane demands

"I was shown it."

"By who?"

"Someone else like me.

"Another human?" I demand

"I'm not human. Or at least, I wasn't. It's complicated. I was a Lycan and then I had my abilities taken from me."

"You weren't bound. If you were bound, you would still have a scent. But the only thing you stink of, is human." Dane tells her.

"I don't know what he did to us. I just know that I was never the same again."

"Bullshit!" Dane snaps

"What if I told you the same thing has happened to Blair?" The woman announces.

"What are you talking about?" Neah pushes her way around me.

"Blair isn't a Lycan anymore."

"Not possible."

"She was the one who showed me where your pack is. I came here to warn you."

"Really, what is Blair threatening me with now?!" Neah demands

"It's not Blair.

r. Blair didn't want me to come here, but we had no choice. The guy that did this to me and many others is probably on his way here, looking for her. She told him she was your half sister." The woman shakes her head at Neah.

“I'm not scared of one man!" Neah snaps back. "Whatever happened to Blair is nothing less of what she deserved."

Neah snorts.

"What's your name?" Dane asks.

“Samara, but no one calls me that. Sammie or Sam is fine." She shakes her head. "This man is dangerous."

"Is it a trick?" Neah whispers to me.

"She seems to know a lot."
