The Alpha’s Contract

“You read my mind?” I ask quietly. It was still a weird thing to get used to.

“I like to pay attention.” He leans in to kiss me when the door is almost taken off of its hinges. “What the fuck, Raven?!" Aloha Dane growls

Raven was red in the face. Strands of her dark hair had fallen loose. "We have a huge problem!” Alpha Dane rolls his eyes as he turns away from me. “What now?"

“She's here!”

I look between the both of them. “Who?”

“Are you certain?” Alpha Dane asks Raven

“One hundred percent. She is sitting in the hospital right now. And she is furious.”

"Who?" I ask again because while Raven looked concerned, all I could see was pure anger on Alpha Danes face. Even his crimson eyes appeared a little darker than usual. Maybe Aero was saying something to him?

They carried on talking like I wasn’t even there.

“I told her you were hunting to buy some time.”

“Did you tell her about Neah?

“I like to test your brides, but I would rather walk into a roaring fire than deal with that one.”

Another bride?

Alpha Dane spins to look at me. “Ex bride. I absorbed her parents’ pack years ago.”

“The only one who didn't die.” Raven mutters. “Veronica.”

“Stay with Neah. I will send Eric over too.” He gives me a quick kiss on the cheek and leaves, leaving the door wide open. “Who is she?" I ask

“He told you, ex bride.” Raven smiles at me, trying to brush it off like suddenly, it was nothing major, even though she had practically broken the door down to tell him

“I know but.....but you...”

“It's nothing. Dane will sort it out. It's not the first time she has turned up.”

“What does she want?”

“Uh... she’s probably heard about you.” She potters around the office, straightening Alpha Danes paperwork. “Me?” Why was she here because of me?

“If I tell you, please don't panic.”

I snort because everything made me panic.

“Veronica was like the third or forth bride, I can't ally remember. She was head over heels, in love with my brothe tothe point she betrayed her own family. By the way,not something that he asked her to do. Butwhen the contract was. ap. Dane decided not to mark her. He didn't feel that she was the ight one.”

“So he let her live? “The only one other than you.” She smiles at me as if that was a good thing

“Why is she here?” My instinct was to hate her. I had never even met her but I hated the idea that Alpha Dane was alone with her.

"She turns up shortly after a new bride has méved in. Reminding Dane N ~ why he chase her all those years =~ ago. She\desperately wants to get back with him. She killed her own truenate so that she could be with Dare.” _ S 6Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Killed her true mate?” I wanted to make sure I had heard it right.

Raven retiés her dark hair and nods her head"She brought him here.- Then ta-show Dane how much she loved him, she stabbed her mate in the Beart. Believing that the action would please him.” tS <

“It didn’t?

“He liked her courage, but sadly, no.

“And he lets her just come here?

“Technically, because he absorbed her parents pack, she belongs to Black shadow.”

“And what am I supposed to do?

“We sit tight.” Beta Eric mutters as he enters the room and hands me a bottle of juice."And hope that she is just passing through.”

“What if she wants to meet her?” Raven asks

Beta Eric looks at me with a smirk. “It's different now. Dane has claimed Neah. We do everything in our power to stop Veronica laying a hand on her.” Laying a hand on me??

“You....you mean she is here to kill me?”
