The Alpha’s Contract

"Has he said anything?”

“I haven't gotten any answers out of him yet.” Eric sighs and looks at me. “I think this is what Moonshine Wolves look like.” “Take him to the dungeons. Make sure he is secured. We will ask questions. Until then, this goes no further!” I snap “What about Neah?” Eric asks

“What about her?” I glare at him

He closes his mouth, choosing not to answer.

“Take the beast to the dungeons.” I repeat.

Eric bows his head and they load the beast back into the vehicle, driving him off towards the dungeons.

She can't look like that.’ Aero mutters in my head. ‘She just can't.’

Why aren’t you saying anything?’ Aero demands as I move back through the house.

Things were starting to fall into place. The fact I had never heard of Moonshine until the call came. The secretiveness of the pack. How they suddenly disappeared and kept disappearing. How Neah has never seen them in Wolf form. How the beast had been hiding in a tree. The comments Neah had made about getting their Wolves at thirteen.

What if that was what we were missing? They didn’t disappear, they went up and out of sight. hiding high in the trees, knowing that we wouldn't be able to find them.

I quietly sit in the chair in our bedroom, watching my mate sleep. Was she one of them and just didn’t know it yet? If I find a way to unbind her, is that what she will become?

She’s our mate!’ Aero mutters as though that answered all my questions.

I wake to the ngise of the showe running. Thebed is empty, and Neah's clothes are piled up on the ~ end of the bed. Looking to the = showety see her, sitting on the ttoor, the waiter cascading down over her small frame as she leans agains the gfass. ~

“Neah?"

She doesn't move.

Ripping open the shower door, she has her knees‘pulled to her chest. “l..1 don’ realty remember my parents.’ "she mutters. “Butl see their faces. I... I see the blood ~ runnigg f from their noses and the corners of their eyes. I see the way they claw at their throats a& they splutter up blood. I remember how their eyes locked with mine as they took their last breaths.”

I had been worried that she had felt the breaking of her bond with Kyle, when really, she was reliving the final moments of her parents’ lives. It wouldn't matter how many times I say it isn’t her fault. She was haunted by the final image of them.

Pulling off my shirt, I step into the running waterSliding myself down the cool tiles‘until I was sitting on the floor next to her. In one quick > movement, I pull her naked body onto my lap and lock my arms«' around her, holding he tightly” against me. Hoping it would be eriough to make her feela tiny bit better. To make her understand that she isn't alone.

She rests her cheek against my chest, taking a few deep breaths. Her rampant heart slows until it's beating regularly. I really wanted to fuck her and could feel my cock hardening beneath her.

“Let's get you dressed.” I murmur, much to Aero’s annoyance.

As much as I had needs, now was not the time. Though I was becoming more and more surprised by my own will power. Neah stands completely still as I wrap a towel around her, she sits on the bed as I dig out some clothes for her to wear. “The contract is void, right?” She mutters behind me. “You are done with my brother, right?

“Yes.”
