The Alpha’s Contract

“Have you told her?” He asks quietly as his boys run across the grounds, racing each other.

“No."

I take it she still isn’t talking to you, then?”

“No."

He nods. “Remind me, why haven't you told her? That dickhead is dead. She has no tie to anyone, she’s yours to claim.” “It's complicated.” I mutter

“I get that, but...” He pauses. “You wouldn't be able to hide it if she hadn’t been bound. Or is it because of this apparent Lycan thing? Because Wolves have done alot worse and shacked up with humans’

“About that,” I mutter, getting the subject off of Neah. “Has Devon said anymore?”

Eric shakes his head. "I told you, he won't speak to me. I don’t know why.

“I literally can’t find anything on them. I spent hours searching every database. How can something like that exist and there be no record of it?” “I take it that it has something to do with Moonshine hiding. And the rules that Neah spoke of.

“I need to speak to him.” I mutter

Eric comes with me to the dungeon, hitting the bars to wake up the guy who called himself Devon.

“You said you were removed.

“Good morning to you too.” He yawns sleepily, scratching through his dark hair. There was no denying that there was a strong resemblance to Neah “Yes, I told you, I was placed in adoption.”

“Then how did you find the pack? If you were three, there is no way you would be able to remember where to find them. You wouldn't have known where the pack was.

“It's a Lycan thing.”

“You are saying you can find them?” Eric asks. “Even though you were kicked out the pack. “Yes.”

“How?”

“We are.....connected. The same way I know my sister is here. You lot have the ability to link one another, right? “How did you find them?”

He shrugs his shoulders. “I can’t explain it. It's like if there were other Lycan packs out there, they would be able to find Moonshine too.”

“Are there other packs?”

"No. Why do you think Trey is so keen on keeping the pack hidden? Our kind axe e dwindling. The ones = you saw‘at Moonshine are the last of theinkind. My sister is the last. Alpha.’ His blue eyes pause on mine. ‘You still haven't told her.”

“It's none of your business.”

“She's my sister.” He argues

“You don't even know her.

“Do you?” He mutters sarcastically. “You are in love with her and yet you won't admit it. “Shut up!” I growl

He makes sense’. Aero tells me and I see Eric cocking an eyebrow at me.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Devon holds his hands up, “I'm just. saying, how do you think she wilkféel about you keeping this from her? A secret ‘that has been kept fram her, her whole life?” -

“You know you are lucky to be alive.” “I know. But so is Neah. Have you not stopped to wonder why Trey was keeping her alive?"

“Why?”

“Now that is something I don’t know. I've beenstying to figure it out for” years. Binding her abilities doesn't even. make sense. If he had brought her ap differently. She would-be just likesthem. “

“You said he didn't believe in a female Alpha.”

“I did, but then why keep her alive? You have to admit Alpha Dane, something doesn't quite add up. “And you could be making all this up to keep yourself alive.”

“I could, but even you can see that what I’m saying makes sense.”

Do you believe him?’ I ask Aero.

I don't know.’ He replies. ‘He has no reason to lie and yet at the same time, he has every reason.’

If I kill him and Neah finds out.... She will never want to be with me. If he’s a liar and is plotting an attack with Trey. Then I would be stupid to ignore it.”

There was only one thing for it, to tell Neah the truth, but would she be able to handle it?
