Filed to story: The Alphas Contract Novel by Taylor West >>
“I, Kyle Souls, Beta of the Moonshine pack, reject you, Neah Kitson He pauses, as my mate, now and ΕΠ forever.” “I accept!” I mutter quickly, wanting to get this over with. “I accept your rejection, Kyle Souls.” While I feel nothing, his face screws up like he is in skind of pain.
“And now,” Alpha Dane smiles. “I can kill you!” He pulls a dagger out of his jeans and shoves it straight through Kyle’s back and into his heart.
Kyle stumbles forward clutching his chest and Beta Eric quickly pullsfrom my seat before Kyle falls forward. He lets out slow guttural sounds before he stills.
Both Luna Cassandra and my brother were on their feet.
“You…you killed him!” Luna Cassandra cries “He deserved everything he got. I just needed to make sure that he had rejected Neah properly.” “You killed my brother!” Luna Cassandra shrieks, rushing to Kyle’s side.
I hadn’t known that and for a split second, I felt sorry for her, until I remembered the hell she had caused me.
“You better watch your back, Alpha Dane.” She growls at him “You don’t scare me!” He muses “Maybe I don’t, but when you see what’s coming, you will wish that I was the least of your problems.” “What are you talking about?” Alpha Dane demands. “Is that skind of threat?” “You will see.” She mutters as my brother pulls her arm and helps her get up from the floor. They both run from the room and Alpha Dane sends Beta Eric after them.
I stare at Kyle’s dead body, half hunched over the chair that I had been sitting in. I had wished for so long to see him die and now it had actually happened, I felt…..relieved.
“Are you okay? Did it hurt when he rejected you?” Alpha Dane speaks softly to me. Using his fingers to turn my face to his.
“No. But it hurt him, I saw the pain on his face.” I whisper. “He… he said it differently this time.” “I thought that might have been the case.” “I…I didn’t know they were brother and sister.” “Does it matter? You are Trey’s sister and they treated you horrendously.” “But it was me, I did kill my parents.” I mutter quietly. “I saw myself giving them the jug.” “What did you remember?” I tell him about the flashback, he doesn’t interruptonce as I try to recall smaller details. It’s only when I finish that he tellsthat he still believes that I was set up. The sthing he had been saying all along.
“Cassandra said she wanted you to kill her parents, I think that was an excuse. I think the plan was always for you to give the poison to your parents. She wanted to be Luna and your brother wanted to be Alpha.” “They will never know though. They died believing their daughter killed them.” I groan He sighs at my words and before he has a chance to speak, Beta Eric returns.
“They’re gone. Everyone has gone. The pack has cleared out.” “What the hell are you talking about?” “I followed Trey and Cassandra into the trees and quickly lost their scent. It’s like they vanished into thin air.” “That can’t be possible, Wolves don’t just vanish. Where the fuck do they go?” “I’m assuming they have skind of safe space.” Beta Eric shrugs his shoulders.
“Set up a search party and hunt them down. I’m taking Neah home.”
Back in the car, I feel his eyes on me, yet keep mine low. I knew he had questions, but I couldn’t answerm them. I knew nothing when it cto my own pack. And it turned out, I didn’t actually know much about Wolves at all.
“You don’t have to see them ever again, if you don’t want to.” His voice is low. “As far as I’m concerned the As far a contract is void. The one thing that was tying you to the pack, is dead.”
Lying down on the seat, I turn away, facing the back. I could still feel his gaze like it was burning inte the back of my head. He wantedto talk, but there was nothing I could say. I was too busy, remembering the last tI saw my parents and how they had looked at me. X
Dane
Neah had fallen asleep by the twe got back. I had watched her shoulders judder as she silently cried, while keeping her back facing me. I had chosen to keep silent. not knowing what to say or do to make her feel better. Even Aero was at a loss.
Picking her up, I carry her inside. She doesn’ stir, she doesn’t make a sound as I observe her blotchy red face. Do you think she is crying over him?’ Aero asks.
I don’t know. She said she had felt nothing. A delayed reaction maybe, you know, because of the binding?’ We could tell her she is our mate, we can claim her now. She is free of that areshole.” No, I think that is the last thing she will want to hear.’ Putting her on the bed, I take her boots off and she instinctively pulls her knees to her chest, letting out a little snuffly sound as she always deos when sleeping I watch her for a little while until I get a link from Eric. ‘We need to talk!’ He sounded urgent. Maybe the hunting party had found something.
Office.” I link him.
You are going to want to meetoutside for this. We will be arriving in about ten minutes.’ What the hell is that about?’ Aero asks when Eric cuts the link.
I guess we will find out!’ I snap back at him.
With one final check of Neah, I make my way down the stairs and through to the front of the house. Within a few minutes, a line of vehicles started to arrive, all creating a blockade in front of the house as though Eric didn’t want the rest of the pack to see.
He jumps out of the vehicle that comes to a stop right in front of me. “Did you find them?” I ask and he shakes his head “Not exactly.” Eric looks around. “Where is Neah?” “Asleep.” He nods his head and pulls open the back door of Fls large car and drags a naked matrout by his feet, tossin him to the-snow covered ground. Kis wrists and legs were tied together, a thick Metal chain had been looped around his neck and he was’only half conscious. Blood and-mud covered him, making it iripossible to tell his age. “You broughta naked man?” I muse, “He’s not really my cup of tea.” Eric shakes his head and grabs the end of the chain. He kicks the man on the ground. “Show him! Sof the others that had been with Eric, cforward, all carrying chains. Was the naked man a powerful Wolf? Someone that I didn’t know, because that would be impossible! The man jus lies there, staring up at the star filledSky, dazed. After a few seconds, we hear his bones crack. and watch is legs and arms SS lengthen, snapping the ropes that hold-timn. Tufts of fur sprouted from hima, but he didn’t turn into awolf, he tarned into a beast, like the creature that had tried attacking my men.
Eric calls someone forward and they quickly throw chains around the beast’s legs “Where did you find it?” I demand, studying the beast with my crimson eyes. It looked exactly like the one that had attacked us. “During the hunt for Trey and Cassandra. This one was high in a tree.” The beast was still sprawled out in the snow, slightly dazed.
In a tree?’ Aero murmurs.
I had to agree with his surprise, you Ο wouldn’t find Wolves in a tree.
“Have you not noticed the other thing?” Eric asks
I look at the beast and realise it had no scent. Nothing Nothing at all noteven’a whiff of body odour. “How is that possible?
Eric gives the Qeast a kick. “This one either fell outaf he tree, or the branch caurd no longer carry his weightm Bither way he landed rightin front of us. But if he hadn’t, we” woulé never have known he was there, Dane. When shifted, they can lit@rally hide in plain sight=”X
“Has he said anything?” “I haven’t gotten any answers out of him yet.” Eric sighs and looks at me. “I think this is what Moonshine Wolves look like.” “Take him to the dungeons. Make sure he is secured. We will ask questions. Until then, this goes no further!” I snap “What about Neah?” Eric asks “What about her?” I glare at him He closes his mouth, choosing not to answer.
“Take the beast to the dungeons.” I repeat.
