The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0039

Neah Sitting up in bed, I look around the room in confusion. I was certain that I had been on my way to the shower.

It takes me a second to realise that I only had my sweatshirt on and nothing on my legs. Looking around the room, I spot my joggers and underwear on the chair. I felt sick, had Alpha Dane done something to me.

My eyes flash around the room, checking to see if I was alone. “You are overthinking it, Neah.” I mutter to myself as I race across the room to grab fresh underwear and jeans from the closet

There was no blood on the bed sheets and everything felt normal. Alpha Dane did say he would never do that, but what if I had involuntarily given him consent because I was daydreaming again?

Quickly dressing. I slip out of the room, only to meet Alpha Dane on the stairs. His brow is wrinkled into a deep frown “I was just coming to see if you were awake. We need to talk.”

A lump in my throat forms. What was he going to say? Did he want to end the contract already? Or was he going to remind me again that I insisted on it?

“Do you mind coming to the office? There’s a lot to discuss. “Okay.”

“Neah, I need you to talk to me properly. This is important! I know that you are upset or maybe even angry with me. Butif it's just going to be a one sided conversation, I am not gaing to be able to help you understand.”

I scowl, what would there be to understand? I just nod. Alpha Dane rolls his eyes, and stands back against the railings to let me pass. He follows a few steps behind, keeping a little distance between us. In the office he asks me to sit as he closes the door and slides the lock across. My heart starts to race, I had never seen him lock the door before.

I couldn’t see what he was doing as he stayed behind me for a few seconds, eventually moving around the desk to his chair. The deep frown still sits heavily on his brow.

“Neah, we have a man in the dungeon who is claiming to be your brother?” “Trey?” I ask, confused.

“No. He claims to be your younger brother. He calls himself Devon.”

“I....I don’t... There was only Trey.

“I know you believe that.”

Believe? That was my only brother. He had met him, he should know.

“But what the prisoner is saying is that Trey isn't your brother, he is biologically your uncle and I have to admit, the family resemblance between our prisoner and you is unmistakable whereas you and Trey don't even share the same features.”

I look all around the room, at everything but him. I had called Trey brother right up until I was forced to call him Alpha. And there had never been another.

“Are you.... Are you saying that one of my parent’s had an affair?”

“No. He thinks that when you were bound the first time. he was erased from your memory. He didn’t grow up in Moonshine, he was rejected by the pack and ended up with humans adopting him.”

He stares at me with his crimson eyes as I try to think of something to say. It sounded ridiculous.

“You are in fact the eldest child of the Alpha. There is a reason you needed to be bound twice.” Alpha Dane states. "When you turned eighteen, you were old enough to take over as Alpha. The Alpha gene surged through you.

“I'm not an Alpha. I mean look at me.” “You may not think so, but your blood believes otherwise.” I lean my head back against the backrest and close my eyes. “It's a lie.

“Is it? You were bound twice Neah. Twice. I don’t agree with binding on any level, but to have it done twice? You would have to be pretty powerful. I think there is an element of truth to his story.”

“You believe him?” It surprised me that he believed a story so easily.

“He isn't holding back.”

“Are you going to kill him?”

“Not right now. Neah, look at me.” I open my eyes to see him focussed on me but now. the frown had gone. “Do you want to meet him?” I shake my head

“I will respect your decision, but can I ask why?

I shrug my shoulders. I didn’t have a specific answer, I just didn’t want to.

“Okay.” He mutters. He doesn’t push for an answer.

“Where did you find him?” I ask quietly.

“Eric found him when searching for Trey and Cassnadra. The guy fell out of a tree.” “So he is fram Moonshine?" I ask, curiosity getting the better of me.

“Yes and no. He was kicked out by Trey, apparently he has been trying to help you.”

“Me?

“The only thing he kept asking me was if yous were safe. If I had gotyou out. Hethas not pushed to see you. He just wants to know that you are safe-And for me to tell you the

truth, “Content belongs to.> FindNovel.Org <

“That he is my brother?”

He clenches his jaw. “Unfortunately, there is more to it. He wasn't in human form when he fell out of the tree.” “He was a Wolf up a tree?” Wolves couldn't climb trees, well not in Wolf form.

“No."

“L.... I don’t understand.”

“He looks like that thing that attacked my men.” He studies my face, “He calls himself a Lycan.”

“Ly....Lycan.” What the hell was a Lycan?

I pull my knees up to my chest and wrap my arms around them.

‘L... I don't know what that is?”

"You are not the only one. I've been. searching for information and there is nothing. The prisoner claimsc” Mognshine are the only onesieft. That they are a dying race. “Content belongs to FindNovel.Org ~~

It didn’t register straightaway. “Are you..... Am I..... Are you saying I'm one of them? “Yes.” lo." I whimper. The beast that had attacked was hideous, a monster like something from a nightmare.

“We won't know for certain, not until you are unbound.”

I had spent my whole life wondering what it’s liketo actually be able to shift. To rurras fast as possible = through the trees. I wondered if the otherstiad truly enjoyed it. If they liked-Becoming an animal and feeling total freedom. But I-didn't want to become a monster. Content belongs to FindNovel.Org

“Don't.”

He cocks an eyebrow at me. “Don’t what?”

“Don't find someone who can unbind me. Please!” I whisper

He looks shocked. His eyes are wide, his eyebrows raised as he stares at me. “You don't want to be unbound?” I shake my head. “Not if I’m going to become a monster.

“Is that really what you want? For almost all of your life you have been bound.”

“Then it won't make a difference, will it.” I shrug my shoulders.

“You won't be able to heal. You won't be able to protect yourself. You won't.

“I understand.” I whisper. Lowering my head so he couldn't see me blinking back the tears that are building. He stands up and moves to the window and I use the opportunity to wipe my tears on my sleeve.

“Are you sure?” He asks quietly

“Yes.....I don’t want to be a monster.
