The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0013

Neah

It was a lot to take in. First the Blood of Wolfsbane and pack runs. Now a blood tie and still sort of being mated to Beta Kyle.

Flashing my eyes up to Alpha Dane, I lower them immediately. He was staring straight at me.

“I swear.” I whisper again. “I swear I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“And that is the most frustrating thing, Neah. I know you don’t have a clue what I’m talking about.”

I wanted to ask why he was so angry, instead, I keep the question to myself.

“I don’t ever want to be near Beta Kyle.” I mumble and from the corner of my eye, I see his face relax, there was almost a hint of a smile on the corners of his lips.

“Good, I have no intention of giving you back.” He rises from his seat. “Raven has said you can come back to the house. Are you up for walking or would you prefer I carried you?”

“I can walk.” I mutter

Slipping out of the bed, I straighten myself up, only to feel a long sharp pain rip through my stomach.

“Are you sure?” Alpha Dane asks.

I nod my head, I had been through worse. I had worked through worse. But he seemed almost disappointed that I was putting a barrier between us.

He lets me take my time. Not saying anything even when I stop because the pain is so bad. They had said it would take a while for it to heal completely, but how long was a while?

Stopping again, I glance back over my shoulder and realise I was barely fifteen metres from the hospital and still had a long way to go to get to the pack house.

Alpha Dane moves in front of me, “Let me help.”

“It’s…. I can do it.”

“Neah,” His rough fingers gently tip my chin up to look at him. “I can see that you are in a lot of pain. Just let me help.”

He does that thing, where he changes the tone of his voice to basically tell me that it wasn’t optional. Reluctantly, I nod and he wastes no time in sweeping me off my feet.

He is pleased with himself as he carries me through the house and into the bedroom. But he doesn't put me down on my feet, he puts me straight into bed.

"As I said, this is going to take some time to heal. Blood ties are not the easiest thing to dissolve. The pain you are feeling now will likely increase." "Increase?" Surely it couldn't get much worse.

He sits next to me, his crimson eyes lock on mine and a shiver runs down my spine. "Usually yes, but given that you were unaware of the tie and the fact you are still bound. I don't know how it will affect you."

"Why would he do it? Why would Beta Kyle do this after making me accept his rejection?"

"That is something I am still trying to figure out. As for calling him Beta, stop. He doesn't deserve that title and neither does your brother deserve to be an Alpha."

I was a nobody, it was my duty to call them by their titles. It as disrespectful to call them by their names.

"Tell me; when you found out that he was your mate. Did you hope it would change things for you?"

I shake my head, still remembering the hate that was in Beta Kyle's eyes. "It was a nightmare."

"Did your brother know?"

I shake my head. "I don't think so."

Alpha Dane just nods his head, he suddenly reaches out a hand and I flinch. I hadn't flinched in so long. I had learned to control it because flinching means a worse beating.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Alpha Dane pauses, and then slowly reaches up to my hair and pulls something from it. He shows me a little feather.

"Get some rest. I will check on you in a little bit." He flicks on a screen on the wall opposite the bed and hands me the remote. "I'm sure you will find something you like."

I didn't have the energy to tell him that I had never watched television. It just made my life sound even more depressing.

Alone, I slowly get out of bed and make my way towards one of the big windows and sit in the big comfy chair while trying to ignore the pain in my stomach.

Sitting and mulling over everything I had been told, I couldn't make any sense of it. Why would Beta Kyle continue to beat me if he knew we were still connected? Or maybe that was why, maybe he was so disgusted by it, but then why would he force a blood tie on me, what did he hope to gain from

it?

I watch as Alpha Dane appears outside. He walks like he is on some kind of mission and a few moments later, Jenson and Eric come from another direction, meeting Alpha Dane almost directly in front of the window.

The three of them have a quick conversation and then disappear into the trees, out of sight. I wondered where they were going, so I just watch, waiting for them to come back.
