The Alpha’s Contract
Chapter 0075

He smiles at me, "But look at you now."

"I'm still small." I whisper. I was in comparison to the other women in the pack

"What I'm saying, Neah, is that you shouldn't have even survived the journey here, yet somehow you did."

"Because I'm a Lycan?"

"Maybe. Maybe it's that you were with your true mate. Maybe it's because you have more of a thirst for life than you believe. Maybe you survived because you are something that the world needs." "Devon's got in your head!" I mutter

"Maybe he just opened my eyes a little."

"What...what does that mean?"

"It's no secret there are more than humans and Wolves in the world. And if we look at it that way, we shouldn't be surprised when something else makes an appearance."

"Me?"

He nods. "We did fuck up, we went into this agreement blind. We should have done more research, we should have questioned Trey more. Dane probably would have if he wasn't so interested in you." "You blame me?"

"No in the slightest. I enjoy a good war, no matter how they come about."

A war was the last thing I wanted.

"Would you like to speak to Devon? I can take you to him if you like."

"Alpha Dane won't like that."

"Then why did he suggest it?"

Beta Eric makes me eat a sandwich first. Telling me he is not having me pass out on him due to hunger.

Alpha Dane still hadn't returned by the time we were striding across the snow covered grass. It made me nervous. After he had forced our closeness, he was now keeping a distance.

"You came." Devon smiles at me as I step in front of his cell. "I didn't think you were going to come back after last time." His blue eyes gaze at Beta Eric, "It's good to see you too." He turns to look at the steps. "No Alpha Dane?" "Not right now." Beta Eric tells him

I just stare at Devon. I didn't know what I wanted to say or ask. I didn't even really understand why I had agreed to come with Beta Eric.

He smiles at me. "I know you are not just here to stare at me. You have questions."

"I was.... was bound four times."

"That's not really a question."

"Should...." I glance over at Beta Eric. "Should I be dead?"

I see him swallow, he shifts his gaze back to Beta Eric and sighs "In theory, yes." He sits back on his small bed. "You were last bound when you were eighteen, right?"

I nod

"Trey, Cassandra, whoever it was probably hoped it would kill you and yet you survived."

"If they wanted her dead, why didn't they just kill her?" Beta Eric asks

"I don't know, I've been trying to figure it out for years. If it was anyone else, they would have just killed their problem, right? That's what Alpha Dane would do here, right? And other packs too. So there must have been some kind of benefit of keeping you alive. "It can't be because Neah is an Alpha." Beta Eric murmurs.

Beta Eric's eyes flashed up behind me, just as Alpha Danes' strong woody scent hits me.

"You are right." His crimson eyes lock on mine "It's because you are able to carry the next Alpha."
