The Alpha’s Contract

Neah

Standing out in front of the house, Alpha Dane’s fingers were entwined with mine. It had been four days since the incident and he barely let me out of his sight, even training and tutoring were out of the question and there was no room for debate. I knew that he was silently questioning my every move while everyone else was feeling the brunt of his anger.

It had been years since they had lost a pack member to anything other than old age or at the hands of Alpha Dane. It put the whole pack on edge. There were meetings constantly. New measures were being put in place. And apart from Jenson, no one else will be granted entry to the pack, not for now at least.

“Are you okay?” Alpha Dane asks without even looking at me “Uh huh.” I stare out at the grounds. The snow had stopped and spring was on its way. He asked me if I was okay multiple times a day, like he expected me to spontaneously combust at any moment.

Alpha Dane looks out the corner of his eye at me. Alook I was getting used to, because it wasn't just him. Everyone that I came into contact with in the last few days, gave me that same look.

It wasn't quite blame, because that is a look I would recognise anywhere. One that I received regularly at Moonshine. Here, I couldn't quite figure it out, but it was definitely something and Nyx didn’t help, challenging anyone who she didn’t like the look of.

She would hurtle herself forward, taking control for just a second and I couldn't figure out how to stop her and she wouldn't tell me either, like it was some massive secret.

A fancy car starts making its way towards us. It wasn’t the one Alpha Dane had sent Jenson away in and as I look up to him, I see the heavy set frown. He didn't want his brother back, but what had happened four days ago gave him little chaice.

Jenson gets out of the car, slinging a bag over his shoulder. His dark hair had grown out since I had last seen him and was almost shoulder length now.

Jenson stops less than a metre from us, dropping his bag on the floor. His dark eyes settle on me. “Well you have caused quite the problem, haven't you.”

He didn’t know everything.

Alpha Dane suddenly slides his hand into my hair, pulling it back to reveal my neck. More importantly, the mark he had given me. It was a silent warning.

“Interesting.” He grins at me. “Big bro has finally found someone to settle down with.” His dark eyes don’t leave mine. Fucking douche!’ Nyx mutters

“Office.” Alpha Dane mutters to his brother, “There is a lot that we need to discuss.” The coldness in his voice sends a shiver down my spine and not in a good way.

I sit quietly in the corner of the office as Alpha Dane breaks the news of my ancestry to Jenson. Though he doesn't mention that I’m supposed to be an Alpha.

Jenson says something that surprises us both.

“So they do exist?

“You've heard of them? Why have you never mentioned anything to me?” Alpha Dane demandsThis is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“It was a comment I heard in the city, ages ago now. At the time I just thought I had too much to drink.” “When?” Alpha Dane presses

“A year, year and a half. I thought that I had teo much to drink. That my mind was playing tricks.”

Alpha Danes' crimson eyes flashed tome and I khew exactly what he was thinking, it was the same thing] was. They had been recruiting fora lot longer than we thought. Maybe Devotwas one of the recruits, maybe he had been changeta long tlre ago, long enough to Have learned everything about me.

‘They are surprisingly decently skilled. Compared to that first one- anyway.” Alpha Dane scratches. through the stubble on his chin. “One took out eight of my men. " ~~

Jenson turns to look at me. “Eight? ‘It was a trap... He... he was going to hand me over to Trey.” I mumble “I see that you haven't lost your stutter yet.” He winks at me. "Some things never change."

“I suggest you focus on something else.” Alpha Dane growls. “I didn't bring you back so you could hit on my mate. This is a chance to prove yourself Jenson.”

Jenson turns away from me. “You mean if I am willing to help, you will let me come home.”

“That is the deal.”

“Are you going to write a contract for me too?" I hear his sarcasm and Nyx calls him a douche again.

“That can be arranged, but I would prefer that you do something for your family other than just think of yourself!”

‘I said I would help.” He mutters, “But I also get the feeling you are not telling me everything. I can’t work without all the information.” Alpha Dane looks over to me and Jenson does the same.

“They want me... they want me so they can put a pup in me.” I mutter in disgust because it still made me feel gross

Jensons eyes narrow, “But you are marked. It will kill you if they try anything.”

“They don't knew that, well we believe they ¢ don't. I'm not entirely sure what they do and don't know.» There is &till alot of missing SS informatio surrounding them and it depends if the traitor shared Lany of thesnformation we learneds“Alpha Dane murmurs
