The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0390

Neah

“What you are saying sounds like a fantasy.” I shake my head, trying to make sense of Klaus's words.

"There was a time when none of us believed in Lycans either." He gestures to the window where I could see Lycans training. Damien had ordered them to up their skills in order to protect me. "We have come to learn a lot since then."

"He's right." Dane tells me. "Can you remember what happened when a Lycan walked out of that forest, directly over there. You hid and we ripped it apart because none of us knew what it was."

'He's right.' Nyx mutters.

'How do you know? You weren't even here!'

'I have access to your memories.' She huffs

"So you think he's a Witch, and that he isn't working with a Witch?" I ask, the only one I had ever met was Madame Curie and she was no longer with us. But she was also not anything like this.

Dane nods, "Witches come in all forms. They are not uniform like Lycans or Wolves or so I've been told. They all have different strengths, abilities and they are really fucking hard to find. Some, like Madame Curie, will work for Wolves, but only for a price. Others, well others think they are a level above the rest. I don't know how when there are so few of them."

"Blair said they don't work with Lycans, but Samara is a Lycan." I was trying so hard to make it make sense, but it felt like there was still a huge piece of the puzzle missing. Something that none of us were seeing.

"Did Brax screw over any Witches, is that why Cooper is doing this?" I ask

"I asked." Dane tells me. "He said he doesn't deal with Witches, they are of no interest to him, until now."

"Because of Maddie?"

He nods.

"He's with Maddie at the hospital, right now." Klaus adds. "She's gradually becoming more lucid. Maybe when she is ready, we will get more answers."

I nod as I rock my body back and forth. Evrin continues to cling to me like he had done for most of the morning. Almost like he knew something was wrong. Dane offers to take him but Evrin just hugs me tighter.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"So he is a Witch that somehow faked being a Lycan, and someone that is also strong enough to create a link with me?"

"I know it sounds a bit far fetched." Klaus nods, "But it makes sense."

'No,' Nyx mutters, 'No it fucking doesn't.'

"What's our next step?" I ask, keeping mine and Nyx's thoughts to myself.

"We need Samara to break." Dane says as he leans over the side of the cot to check on a sleeping Logan.

"She didn't even realise I could scent

her." I reply, "She carried on, continuing her story about what Cooper did to her even as her scent unravelled. I was waiting for her to shift, but she just continued acting like a victim, like we were the ones in the wrong for having her tied up."

“Blair is going to try and get the information out of her." Dane tells me 'Why?' Nyx mutters in my head

"Why would she do that?" I ask.

"I asked her. And because she feels just as screwed over by learning the truth about Samara. I don't think she is necessarily doing it to help us, but instead to satisfy her own anger at being tricked. She still knows that there is a chance she will die either way, and she still accepted my

request." Dane's crimson eyes hover

on me.

"I thought you might have killed her."

"I thought about it, but with all that is going on, I figured we could use her as a resource. To do that though, we will need to feed and water her. Bring her out once a day so she can tell us whatever Samara is up to."

"If we bring her out, we will need to bring Samara out too. She will know something is up otherwise." Klaus adds. "It seems like Cooper has an attachment to Samara, am I right?"

"Possibly" I sigh, "or it might be the other way around and Brax thinks there is a good chance that Samara is running the show."

I could see the way Dane was

looking at me. He had been a little

iffy about Klaus since the car accident but now, I hope he will feel a little better with Klaus sharing this information. He could have just kept it to himself, just as he could have Kept the news of him being born a Hunter to himself, but he didn't.
