The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0493

"How long have you been following us?" I ask as his footsteps crunch on the ground.

Brax steps up behind me "Long enough."

"I was going to kill her."

"And if you had, it may just screw things up between you and Neah."

I spin around to look at him. "Neah understands more than you will ever know. I was going to kill Eris for her, for us, for our family. Letting her go would have been a mistake."

"We all know that." He walks to Eris who is still slumped against a tree. Using his fingers, he carefully closes her eyelids. "But Neah is pregnant and she is going to need you. And this way, you don't need to lie to her. Besides, Neah already knows that I will do what I need to do, to ensure that she and her babies are safe. That was the deal right?" Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.

"I wasn't going to lie."

"Okay." He mutters, pulling Eris over his shoulder. "Let me deal with this, you head back."

I take my time going back to Neah. I wasn't sure why Brax thought I would lie to my mate. I had no intention of lying, that wasn't the agreement between Neah and I. I just needed to kill Eris first. At least now, she was another problem cut from our lives.

'Dane, come to mine!' Eric links me

What's the problem?'ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

'Um, it's a little too complicated for me to explain. Just hurry."

Eric is outside with Luca and Logan when I arrive. "What's happening?"

"Evrin." He points to the house and I hear a crash come from inside. "Mall is trying to contain him."

"He's shifted?" I ask as there is another crash along with Mallory telling Evrin to stop.

Eric nods at me

I walk inside to a house looking like a tornado had ripped through it. Furniture was uprooted, broken dishes scattered the floor. Clothes and food had been flung around the room.

I hear Mallory upstairs, talking and trying to calm my son down. It's met with growls and footsteps pounding across the floor.

Evrin tears down the stairs towards me, throwing his Lycan frame at me. His arms lock around my neck as he buries his nose against me. His breaths are heavy and his heart races but as I hold him, I feel his body grow heavy and he slowly starts shifting back.

A frazzled Mallory descends the stairs, staring at me. "Is that really all it has taken?"

My eyes move over the trashed house. Evrin couldn't do a lot in Human form, but he could as a Lycan.

"Mumma." He whispers tearfully.

"I think we have found what this was all about." I look down at my son. He was a miniature version of her. But unlike Logan, Evrin seemed to know when something wasn't right with his mother.

"Is Neah okay?" Mallory asks

"She's resting, but she will be okay."

"Mumma." Evrin whispers again.

"Let's get dressed and go find her." I smile at him and tell Mallory that I will be back to clean up.

Logan stands up when I'm outside, holding his hands up and waiting to be picked up. In true sibling style, they start pushing each other, but start laughing when I carry them like footballs and purposely swing them through the air.

They are giggling all the way to the hospital and are desperate to get down when they see Neah. The boys scramble all over her, both fighting for attention as she hugs them and I feel my heart burst with pride.

If anyone had asked me a few years ago about my future children, I would have laughed in their face, but here they were and soon enough two would become four.

"Has she gone?" Neah asks as the boys settle down.

*You don't need to worry about her." I tell her

She studies me for a second. "Did you..."

"I was going to, but Brax beat me to it."

Her eyes remain on me as she combs her fingers through Logan's dark hair.

"I understand what you said, but after all that's happened..."

*She was too much of a risk." she bobs her head.

"We didn't know who she was or if Cooper was using her and she was playing us. This way. There isn't a chance that she can screw us over."

"Okay. What about Silas? Do we need to be ready for him?"

"Maybe, maybe not. But he isn't my priority right now. He might just be a story. Cooper may have found out a few things to try and use against us. If something comes, I will deal with it."

*I would prefer it if nothing happened for a while."
