The Alpha’s Contract

The car comes to a stop directly in front of the pack house. It really was tiny in comparison to Alpha Dane’s home.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

As the door is opened, Alpha Dane gets out and holds a hand out to me. I didn't hesitate to take it this time because he had already told me that we needed to annoy Kyle.

The warmth from his touch was comforting and strangely unexpected. Luna Cassandra is standing on the steps in a long white gown. Her blonde hair circles into tight ringlets that bounced around her face

“Alpha Dane.” Her shrill voice made me wince and I knew my hand had automatically tightened around Alpha Danes. “We were not expecting you yet. I believe the contract stated that you would return after thirty days.”

So they had read it. “It also states that I will return within fourteen if I'm not satisfied.” Alpha dane mutters as he give my hand a little squeeze back. “You got what you want!” Luna Cassandra glares at me. “And we have not done anything wrong.”

“There are questions that remain unanswered.” There is a darkness to Alpha Danes' tone that instantly fills me with dread. If I had been on the receiving end, I wouldn’t want to be in Luna Cassandra’s place right now.

“You are more than welcome to came in. My husband and our Beta are out hunting right now. I can try and answer your questions while we wait for their return.” She hadn't even flinched at Alpha Danes tone.

As we enter the house, my heart races. Alpha Dane had reassured me over and over that he wasn't going to let anything happen to me, yet it didn’t stop the memories flooding my mind.

We follow Luna Cassandra into the office. Her green eyes lock on mine as she closes the door. “Please, take a seat.” She mutters through gritted teeth. It must have been so hard for her to say that to me.

“How can I help you, Alpha Dane?” She speaks so calmly “Who bound Neah?

It wasn't what I thought he was going to say.

“Unfortunately, that is information I do not know, Alpha Dane.” “But she was bound twice, correct?”

Her green eyes flicker to me. “Correct.

“Because she is mated to your Beta.”

She sucks tn her cheeks. “Was. He rejected her. Who wants a rat like that as@mate?!” She chuckles.> “Have eyOu decided she is worthless, Alpha Dane? Are you trying tO return her?" ~

“No. As I said, I am just looking for answers.

“I don't know what you want me to Say, Alphat Dane. She was bound.as punishment the first time and then againswhen she turned eighteen. The-first witch didn't do a good enaugh job.” -

“You used a witch? I thought you didn’t know who it was.

There's a tinge of red to her cheeks. ‘I don't know who it was. And we both know only a witch would be capable of doing something{ ike that.” .

It was a good save, but it also sounded rehearsed.

“Then I will wait for Trey to give me the answers that I require.

“Very well, can I offer you something to drink while you are waiting?”

“Water will be fine.” Alpha Dane mutters

She leaves the office and returns a few minutes with a jug of water and glasses, placing it on a small table in the middle of the room. Alpha Dane is fast as he pins Luna Cassandra to the wall, holding her inches off the ground as his hands coil around her neck.

“Do you think I'm stupid?” He growls, “I could smell it before you even finished filling the jug.”

“You.... you shouldn't be able to.....° Luna Cassandra croaks as she tries to peel his fingers from her throat.

“Blood of Wolfsbane.” Beta Eric mutters, dumping the contents on the floor.
