The Alpha’s Contract

Neah In the kitchen, I find Raven shovelling food in her mouth. Her dark eyes were tearful and her face blotchy from holding back the tears “Aren't you supposed to be in your room!” She snaps at me

“I was.... I'm hungry and um.... Alpha Dane said that if I ever was, I could... help myself.” I stutter. Raven had never been short tempered with me. “Are you okay?” I ask quietly.

“Jenson has been banished.” she splutters and the tears break free. “Oh,” I puff out my cheeks as I think of some words of reassurance, but all I could come up with was an apology.

Her dark eyes linger on my face. “It’s not because of you. It's because he is an idiot. I warned him so many times that Dane would only put up with it for so long. And I'm trying not to cry, but Midnight is grieving for her twin and I can’t control it.”

“Your wolf?” I couldn’t remember if it was her or Alpha Dane who had tald me the name of her Wolf.

“Yes, because not only are Jenson and I twins, the Wolves we were gifted by the Moon Goddess are twins too. Midnight knows it was his own fault but still she sobs.

Slipping into a seat opposite her, I frown. I didn’t understand the separate Wolf thing. None of Moonshine had them, well not that I knew of. But then, it wasn’t like they told me anything.

“Can I ask you something? “As long as it's not about Jenson.” “Is it normal to have another voice, your Wolf, like living inside your head?"

She tilts her head to one side as she stares at me. “We all have one. Well, not you, but we all have one. When we shift, they take over and we become a voice to them. It's a spiritual thing. Surely you know that.”

I had already sort of mentioned it to Dane, but alot was going on and I hadn’t brought it up again. “It's just, all of you here talk about them. My brother never did, in fact I never heard of anyone referring to their Wolf at Moonshine. Is that weird?”

“Super fucking weird. If they have a Wolf that is anything like Midnight, who doesn’t ever stop talking, you would soon know about it. Have you told Dane?"

“Sort of, I haven't discussed it because....” I look down at my stomach “and then there was an attack and now he seems to be avoiding me.” ‘I'm telling you, Neah. That is really weird and Midnight wants to know if you have ever seen their Wolves.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

I shake my head

“You saw us shift and take down that beast. Are you really saying you have seen nothing like that at Moonshine?”

“My brother had a rule. Shifting was to be kept in the woods.”

“You need to tell Dane.” She shoves a bit more food in her mouth.

Raven seesmy hesitation and offers to come with me. “It’s better that.He knowseverything you know. And I'm sorry'I snapped at you.” She gives mea small smile. Conten belongs -

She links Alpha Dane for me and asks him to meet us in his office.

We were waiting almost thirty minutes before he appeared. The waiting made me panic more. It was a remindér of some of the abuse* had reg@ived from Moonshine. Sometimes, when I knew it was. coming, they would make me wait, téPmenting me further. G@ntent

“Even I can smell your panic. And I am not an Alpha.” Raven mutters “I thought my scent was weird.”

“It is, which means your panic levels are stupidly high. You need to relax."

The door evings open and Alpha -~ Dane strides in. “You wanted to talk.” His voice was still cold and norenially he would be watching me, instead his. eyes are on Raven. Content ~
