The Alpha’s Contract

“What the fuck is a Lycan?” Eric snaps

“Exactly what you saw. Part Wolf, part human.” His blue eyes move to mine. “Did you get her out?”

“What do you mean, true brother?” I demand

“Neah only has one brother and Trey isn’t him.

“Don't bullshit me!

“I will tell you everything.” He stretches out his arms

“You would be the first.” I snap, losing my patience

“lam not loyal to Moonshine. I am a Rogue.” Devon tells us

He's fucking nuts!’ Eric links me.

“Rogue?” It wasn't a term used among Wolves. You either belonged to a pack or you didn’t.

“Rejected by my pack.” Devon mutters unphased.

“Let's say you are telling the truth. How does Neah not know who you are?”

“The same way as she believes Trey is her older brother.

I can’t tell if he is lying or not.’ Aero mutters.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Devon points to his eyes. “Our eyes. They are identical, passed down through our mother and her mother and her mother before.” “Anyone can have similar eyes.” I mutter

“You are right, they can, but what colour were Trey's eyes?” He smirks at me. "Look, why would I bother telling you this? “To buy yourself time!” I snap.

‘I'm in a dungeon, I can’t go anywhere.” He mutters with a sarcastic tone.

“Let me see if I can get this straight. You are something called a Lycan. Aman that claims to be Neah’s younger brother. Someone who she doesn't know. And Trey isn’t related to her’

“Nailed it. Well almost. I didn’t say he wasn't related. I said he wasn’t her brother!” “Who is he?” “Our uncle!"

So she is an Alpha.’ Aero murmurs in shock. ‘Being bound twice was not just because she has the essence of powerful blood. She is an Alpha by birth right. The first born.”

Ifit's even true.”

“He doesn't believe the Alpha role should go to a female." Devon continues, "He portrayed himself as an older brother because of the bigger age gap between him and my father. The pack agreed with him.”

“How do you know all this?

‘I had someone on the inside.”

“Had?”

“They came here to check Neah had made it here, alive. I believe you killed him.” “He shouldn't have attacked my Wolves.”

“Oh I know. I tald him to be silent and unseen. It turns out, he did neither.”

“How old are you?”

“Nineteen.”

Three years younger than Neah. If he had indeed been removed from Neah's memory. She wouldn't know.

“I Know you dan't believe me, but you saw me, yousaw what I look like in Lycan forma My adopted parents got a massive shock when I turned = thirteen.” ‘Bless their souls.” He smiles, his blue eyes shifting back to me="She doesn't know what she is, dées she?”

He checks his nails, picking dried blood from them “Why didn’t you stop him?” “Trey, I tried, several times. They got craftier. I couldn't even get near the house.”

“They didn’t kill you?

“Oh they tried.” He puffs out his cheeks. "Please tell me she is alive. I don't have to see her. I don’t have to talk toner. I just want to knowthat

mys sister finally got out fron@under Trey’ s thumb and that sheis safe.”

Céntent belongs to

“She got out.” I confirm

"Is she safe?"

"Yes."

“Can I talk to you?” Eric asks, using his head to gesture to the steps.

“Do you think he is telling the truth?” Eric asks me the moment we are outside. ‘I don’t know.

“He wouldn't say two words to me, yet the moment you come down, he tells you everything.”

"Keep questioning him." I mutter. “I need to check out this Lycan shit: - No violence,” I warn him. “If he is” truly I her brother, I don't want her findidg out that you beat hindto a putp.” -

“No violence.” He confirms, “As always.”

In my office, Neah is slowly spinning in my desk chair. She doesn’t even hear me walk in and jams her feet into the carpet when she spots me. stopping the chair from turning.

“Are you looking for something?” I ask. The need to tear her clothes from her body was growing more and more intense. She nods, “You.”

“You should have got someone te link me.

“I could wait. I’m used to waiting.” She gives me a tight lipped smile

“How can I help you?’

“If I give you your heir, will that mean I can stay?”
