The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0591

"I wish it was as simple as you make it sound. And our house is pretty manic at the moment."

I roll my eyes, she knew exactly what I was saying.

"Even if I wanted to try. I don't even know where to start." She sighs heavily.

*You tried and tried with me. Refusing to accept that I would hate you forever after what you did to me, and now look at us. Don't throw a strong friendship away just because you don't see eye to eye with his mate. Talk to her. Just like how you wanted to talk to me. Sit down with no one else to interrupt."

*You don't have an issue with her anymore, do you?" She asks quietly

I shake my head and fold my arms across my aching breasts. I needed to get back to the girls before I started leaking. "I trust Damien."

Her brow softens, "I do miss him. I miss our talks. I miss his presence."

*Then go and talk to him. He is still at home."

She turns around, facing the direction of his house, but doesn't move. "Are you sure you are okay?"

"Why does everyone keep asking me that?"

'It's starting to get really irritating!' Nyx grumbles

*You were in the hospital for ages, unconscious. The birth of the girls was accelerated. And going into labour was the thing that woke you up. We have a right to be concerned."

"I promise I'm okay."

"In that case, can I ask you a favour?"

I nod.

*Can you just push me towards Damien's? I don't seem to be able to move."

I give her a good shove, and she stomps in the direction of his house, watching her to make sure she doesn't stop. What does it mean to have a female Beta?" I ask Nyx as I sit on the porch. The few that I had met had always been male. Even the ones from Dane's past contracts. Every single one of them was male. Not a female in sight.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

'I don't know.' she murmurs.

'Maybe it is something we need to discuss.' Dane's voice rumbles through my head.

He's waiting for me at the small kitchen table. The boys chase each other in and out of the rooms, screaming and giggling. They don't even stop to acknowledge me.

*Have you been in my head the whole time?"

He dips his chin, "You think Samara can help?" He asks while gazing at me.

"I'm not sure. I think there is something. That's what my gut tells me." I press my lips together and sigh. "I want to help them. I don't want to sit around waiting for news that Brax and Klaus are dead. But, as you said, they are hundreds of miles away. I just.... I just wondered if there is something in what Dakota told Samara, how she is a preselected Beta for me. There must be a reason.

*Dakota told her it seemed like it was our fate to find one another. That we are stronger together. But I always thought the mate bond was the strongest thing anyone could have. Am I wrong?" I ask

Dane scratches the stubble on his chin. "I have to admit that I have wondered the same." He glances over to the boys, "Some would say that it was fate that led me to you. Brax would say that the higher powers had already laid out the path that would lead me to you. That I was always destined to find you.

"I've told you countless times that you were the last person I expected to find in Moonshine. Yet our paths still collided. The situation you were in still churns my stomach and floods my system with rage, but I will always be grateful for that first phone call."

My heart skips a beat. I never saw myself getting out of Moonshine. I thought I was going to die there.

*If are paths are already laid out, that means you believe Samara and I were always supposed to meet. Do you think that about everyone?"

He nods. "Some are put here to test us, others to join us." His crimson eyes lock on mine. "And I think, deep down, there is a reason why you didn't kill her. You had a chance. You had multiple chances. Something was holding you back. You have always killed easily."

"I've let Blair live." She had been trying, though I knew there was still drama between her and Samara and it was always Blair that started it. But she always tried to keep her mouth shut when I was around.

"For now." He smirks at me. "Maybe, this is like you accepting your Alpha position. You need to accept Samara for who she is supposed to be."

*Even if I did, how is that supposed to change the things that are happening in White Cliffs?"

A crease appears between his brows "You belong here, yet ultimately, White Cliffs is yours."
