Ch. 201..205: The Alpha Contract Chapter 201-205

Chapter 0201

Kitson, it was a rare name. Of all the Wolves and the very few Lycans I had come across, Neah was the only one with that surname left.

"An ancestor?" I murmur, turning the brown book over in my hands.

"I would say yes, just by the way he talks about bloodlines. Neah is a female Alpha, her genetics had to come from somewhere."

"Are the Lycans a threat?"

"I don't know." He mutters. "It talks about them rising again, but it was centuries ago, Dane. And all of those would be long dead. So it would be descendents."

"Damien has always believed there are more out there. Are you telling me that my mate was not just the leader of Moonshine but is the leader of every Lycan out there?"

He nods his head at me.

"Have you told anyone else?"

"No, I came straight here."

"Good. keep it that way. I need to figure out my next step."

More Lycans, would they be a threat to our kind? What if there are more like Salem? Too feral to think straight.

"She couldn't control Salem." I mutter, "Not completely."

"Damien told me something about that. It's something to do with the rejection. Like Jenson, Jenson rejected you as his Alpha and rejected the pack too. It's likely that Salem did that but possibly long before he met her. I'm not sure anymore. New information is seeping out everywhere. "Do you really believe that?"

He sucks in his cheeks. "I only really believe what I read and what I see for myself."

"I need to speak to Damien."

Klaus follows me upstairs. Knocking on Raven's door, I call out to Damien, only to find him stepping out of the room next door where Dorothy slept now.

He yawns and looks at his watch "A bit early isn't it?"

I nod to the door he is pulling closed, "She okay?"

"Still a few nightmares. She's getting there."

Damien sits in the chair in my office, his legs spread as he leans forward and rests his elbows on his thighs. "So I was right."

"It seems that way, yes. Why, why did you think there are more?"

"Shortly before I was bitten, Cassandra would talk to me, telling me it was such a shame that I wasn't a true Lycan. Muttering something about how I would have been a good specimen in the Lycan pool but because I am a bitten Lycan, I wouldn't be as good as the true thing." He chuckles. "If only she could see me now."

"That doesn't imply there are more."

"You're right. But when I questioned her, she didn't really give me an answer. To me, that suggests there was and is a lot more than I know about. A lot more than any of us know about."

"But you have been around, you've never come across any?"

"Other than Mallory and the Rogues, no. Even when I was hunting for Salem, I didn't come across any Lycan scents."

"So it could just be a load of bullshit.".

"Come on, Dane. We all know you don't believe that." Damien shakes his head at me. "What if they have found a way to conceal themselves?"

"You are talking about masking their scents?"

"Yes."

I look over to Klaus. "What do you think?"

"Maybe there is an element of truth in his words," He shrugs his shoulders

"So there could be, what, hundreds more?"

"It's a big country, they could be hiding anywhere. Didn't you tell me Moonshine hid up in trees?" Damien presses

I nod.

"What if they went the other way? What if they went underground?"

They both fall into silence. Waiting for me to speak.

"We are not going to do anything." I mutter after discussing it with Aero.

They both raise their eyebrows at me in surprise.

"Neah will be giving birth in about a month. We have enough shit going on with Salem and the possibility that he might return. Plus you have Dorothy. I don't need anymore crap right now." "But..." Damien starts

"No. I'm still watching my mate constantly for any change. What do you think finding out there are more Lycans out there will do to her? She doesn't need it and I sure as hell don't need it." "They are her kind. Your soon to be born pups kind."

"I am doing what's best for my mate and you need to keep your mouth shut. I mean it Damien, if a single word of this gets to her you will regret it."

He snorts.

"You haven't seen the things I'm capable of. And I will do what I need to do to protect my mate."

My eyes flicker to Klaus who had already lowered his head in submission to my tone, but Damien stares back at me.

"Fine." He snaps. "But I'm telling you, this will backfire. If I have learned anything about your mate, my Alpha, she fucking hates secrets. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go and check on Dottie." He slams my office door shut behind him

If the situation were different, I probably would go looking. Just to get answers for Neah. They had been in hiding for centuries, it won't hurt for them to stay there.

Chapter 0202

clothes I had bought her.

Convincing Raven to come into the city with me took less time than I expected. I was fully prepared to give her a long drawn out speech. She still wasn't comfortable that Dottie was referring to me as Daddy but she understood the kid needed more than just the handful of "So a family day out?" She asks with a cocked grin

"I just need to get a few more things for Dottie. I thought you would make sure I don't miss anything."

"Is Dorothy coming with us?" She pulls a blue shirt over her head

"No, Neah said she will watch her. I think she is hoping it will prepare her for what's to come." I snort.

"You know it's still not safe."

"I will be with you the entire time."

"I'm not worried about that. I know you will keep me as safe as you can. Can you separate yourself from Dorothy? She's like your shadow when she's awake."

I knew what she wasn't saying. We hadn't had much of a chance to be alone together. If Dottie wasn't following me around when she was awake. I was spending the nights comforting her as night terrors did their rounds.

I step towards her, catching her lips with mine. She lets out a gasp at my unexpected movement.

"Is this what you've missed?" My hand cups her pussy, only the thin fabric of her panties stopping me from dipping into her arousal.

Her chest rises and falls against mine.

"You." she mutters, rolling her hips against my hand while keeping her dark eyes locked on mine

Her panties are soaked, a deep growl rumbles through my chest as I pull at the wet fabric, letting it fall to the floor.

The tips of my fingers graze over her wetness and she lets out a small moan, pushing herself further into my hand.

"Take off your shirt."

She keeps her dark eyes locked on mine as she lifts it up and over her head. Before it's even completely off, I take a hardened nipple into my mouth, swirling my tongue over the tip, enjoying her involuntary groans. She battles between the moans and unfastening the buttons of my shirt. Pausing when my fingers hit that sweet spot.

Her head slowly tips back, "Damien." she gasps as her juices coat my hand.

She bites on her bottom lip, the same way she always does when she is about to orgasm. Keeping it bottled up and then letting it rip through her entire being.

Pushing her back on the bed, there is a glimmer of shock and disappointment until I position myself between her thighs with the tip of my cock poised at her entrance.

She lifts her hips, trying to bring me closer. The folds of her pussy grazed the tip of my cock, making it jerk in response.

She takes me by surprise, flipping me over on the bed so that she is straddling my hips. A growl runs low inside of me as she hovers that sweet pussy above my cock, letting her juices drip onto it.

"You think you have control?" I mutter, gripping her hips, knowing my fingers were probably already bruising her soft skin.

She leans forward and plants a soft kiss on the corner of my lips. "I know I do."

I flip her, pushing her body into the bed and sinking myself into her. Her lips part a little and she lets out a groan at the expected invasion. Hooking her good leg around my hip she smiles. "See." I had played right into her hands and I fucking loved it.

Our hips rock together as my cock slides in and out of her wetness. She pushes her breasts up into me. I could feel our hearts beating together as one as she finds euphoria.

I slam into her over and over, watching her mouth part as my name rips from her tongue

My thumb is quick to find her swollen clit, circling as I continue to fuck her. I was far from done and so was she. She just didn't know it yet.

I pull her back on top. My cock still firmly buried in her. "Ride it."

Chapter 0203"I don't know if I can." she mutters, looking at her injured leg.

Grabbing hold of her hips, I move her while occasionally thrusting into her. Her mouth parts as a new orgasm starts creeping in.

Supporting herself on my chest, she slides up and down. Groans creeping out everytime she dropped to the base of my cock.

"Oh Damien." she screws her eyes tightly shut, her head tipping back as her pussy grips my dick, milking me until my cum is dripping out of her.

She collapses on top of me. Her face on my chest as her heavy breathing meets my own. She glances up at me through her long eyelashes.

I already knew the question that was brimming on her lips. She wanted to stay here and forget the world, even if it was just for a little while.

The question doesn't even leave her lips, falling back down her throat because she already knew the answer. The small voice calling for me quickly taking away her desire to fuck me again.

"Is this how it's going to be? Forever interrupted by your kid." She smiles at me.

I wink at her. "She's your kid now too."

I was expecting a frown, but it didn't come. Instead she crawls off of me and tiptoes across to the bathroom. Her limp was almost gone, even if she did still feel the pain. She would forever have the divot in her leg from the missing muscle. Though my heart swelled with how well she had adapted.

"Dottie." I call out, thanking myself for locking the fucking door when she tries turning the handle. "Go find Neah or Dane. I will be down in a minute."

I hear her footsteps run down the hallway, she was most likely dragging that little teddy with her.

Heading to the bathroom, my mate is already in the shower. The hot water cascades down her beautiful body. Her nipples hard from the heat of the water. My cock throbs at the sight of her hand gliding down her wet body to her pussy.

She starts with small circles on her clit, her fingers dipping into the folds as she drops her head back under the falling water.

"I know you are watching me, Damien." My cock jerks at her sultry tone

She pulls the shower head down, pointing it directly onto her pussy. Another moan rips through her and I couldn't take it anymore.

As I pull open the shower door, she drops the shower head. Lifting her, her legs lock around my hips as I slam her into the tiles with a new hunger.

Her arms lock around my neck as her lips collide with mine, our tongues exploring each other's mouths as her pussy teases my cock once more. Grabbing her ass, I lift her even higher, practically folding her in half as I pull her knees over my shoulders and press her tighter against the tile. "Damien!" Her eyes are wide as I slide my cock into her. She thought it was deep before. But this position gave a whole new meaning to deep.

I thrust once and her mouth opens wide, a hollow gasp ripping through her.

My lips catch hers and quickly mould against mine.

Retracting my cock a little, I slam into her again, feeling her body tremble in my hold as she almost bites my lip. Her pussy is already clenching around me by the time I thrust into her again. Fuck she felt so good.

She felt the need to buck against me, but at this angle, that had been taken away from her. All she could do was dig her nails into me as wave after wave rips through her and she screams my name. My thrusts slow as the grip of her pussy pulls me over the edge once more.

She lowers her legs, but keeps them locked around my hips. Staring at me as her heart thunders in her chest.

She seemed surprised by how loud and hard I had made her come.

Raven's feet drop to the shower floor. I hold her steady as she wobbles a little. Her legs weak from how I had fucked her. Clearly she had never been fucked like that, not even when she was in heat with me.

Chapter 0204

She's speechless as I raise the shower head back up. I grab the shower gel, massaging it into her body as she leans back against my chest.

She still hadn't spoken by the time I washed her hair for her and I was beginning to wonder if I had broken her.

"Raven?"

"Yeah?" Her voice is more high pitched than usual and I fight the laugh that was bubbling in my throat. She was still riding high.

It's a good thirty minutes before she seems more herself. Her dark eyes flicker to mine and then down at the outfit she was wearing. A blue tee with matching blue jeans. I was surprised she even managed to dress herself as she seemed lost in her trance. "What did you do to me?"

"Gave you what you wanted." I smirk at her. "I think you were in some sort of mid heat because I had been away for so long." I mutter

"Right." She makes her way to the closet, pulling out a pair of combat boots and slowly laces them up

She stands up, staring at me with a smile, "No one has ever done that to me."

****

We are almost done in the city. Raven had spent so much of my money making sure Dottie was kitted out with everything she needed for what seemed like the next ten years of her life.

We are just loading everything in the car when she freezes. I know why, I caught his scent too.

When I look up, she is standing, staring past me, all colour drained from her skin, almost like she had seen a ghost.

Turning, I follow her gaze to Jenson. He isn't looking this way, not at first and is busy talking on a phone to someone. Seconds pass and his eyes lock on to us. I watch his lips move into the word 'shit!'

He quickly pockets the phone and turns on his heel.

"What is he doing?" Raven mutters as he runs away. "I thought he would be happy to see me at least."

"Whoever he was talking to is important." I mutter, slamming the car shut.

"Damien don't" Raven murmurs, grabbing my arm. "He doesn't want to see us."

"I just need to ask him what he did with Jess. For Neah." I add when she shakes her head at me.

She hesitates but lets go of me. Telling me she isn't coming with me and that she will wait in the car.

I keep my distance, following his scent through the streets until I see him with a woman. A Lycan woman. I knew I was right. I knew there were more. But why would Jenson go to another Lycan after what happened to Jess?

Jenson looks panicked, his hands flailing about as she just stands there, her back to me so I couldn't see who she was. Her arms are folded. Her dark hair hangs just slightly lower than her shoulders. Her feet are jammed into some stripper shoes and one is slowly tapping the concrete ground.

Her hand reaches out, grabbing his chin and she pulls his face to hers. Really Jenson? You've just lost your mate and you are already fucking another Lycan.

She lets go of him and he walks around a Porsche, slipping into the passenger side. As the female Lycan turns, I get a good look at her, moments before she gets in the driver's seat.

She looked like Neah. Same dark hair, same facial features. Except the eyes. While Neah's are a brilliant blue, these woman's are brown. But that is the only difference between them.

The car rips past me as I flatten myself to the wall. As soon as it's out of sight, I run back to Raven and jump in the driver's seat.

"We have to go!"

"What did you see?" She looks panicked

"Raven, I..." My foot hits the pedal and the car jumps into motion as I speed out of the city and back to home.

"Damien, you are scaring me!" Her hands are gripped around the edges of her seat as the car tears down the road.

"Jenson was with another woman."

"Seriously?" she snaps in irritation.

"A Lycan woman."

Chapter 0205

Dane

"Please tell me this is some sort of joke." I growl as Damien stares at me in my office. He was only going to get things for Dorothy.

'It has to be.' Aero mumbles. 'Jenson would be a fool to stay this close. Surely Aspen wouldn't be on board with this.'

I sigh. 'He probably is. Aspen lost Jess too."

"I know what I saw Dane." Damien interrupts the conversation with my Wolf. "I knew I was right. I knew there were more out there." He mutters. "I didn't need a fucking book to prove I was right."

I held my hands up to silence him as I tried to understand what Jenson was doing. "Okay, so he has hooked up with another Lycan. Why is that a problem for us?"

"I already know you are not going to like what I have to say." He mutters

"Say it anyway." I snap

"You told me everything Neah went through growing up. Explaining it is why she is who she is."

"Yes, but...."

He cuts me off, "Does she have any siblings?"

I scowl at him, surprised by the question. "No. What does that......"

"Are you absolutely sure?"

I was getting ready to hit him for continuously cutting me off mid sentence.

"No she hasn't. I told you about the guy who claimed to be her brother."

"Trey, yes, but you said that you found out he was her uncle."

I nod. "Then there was also a guy called Devon who claimed to be her brother. It turned out to be a lie. He was in fact bitten by Cassandra or maybe Trey, I can't quite remember. Neah killed him. But what does that have to do with this?" His dark eyes lock with mine. He rubs his hand through his stubble as he thinks of what to say, "The woman, she looked like her."

'That doesn't mean anything.' Aero shrugs

"That doesn't make them siblings." I tell Damien

"Normally, I would agreed. Yet the only difference between them that I could see was the colour of her eyes. Dane, other than that, they look pretty identical."

I shake my head, "You must be imagining things."

"I know what I saw."

"Did Raven see her?"

"No." He sighs, "She didn't want to speak to him so she stayed in the car while I followed. Dane, I'm telling you, I know what I saw. He went to her, panicking because he knew we had seen him and then they got in a car and left." "What were they saying?"

"I don't know." He shakes his head. "I was too caught up in trying to figure out who she was. When I saw her face, I was surprised."

"Older or younger?"

"Impossible to tell. Why does that matter?"

'Are we believing this?' Aero asks.

'I don't know. He doesn't have a reason to lie.'

"Well if this woman is older, I'm sure Neah would remember her. Not only that, it would show that they aren't siblings because otherwise, that woman would be the female Alpha, not Neah. And we all know she is the Alpha. You can't deny that." "And what does it mean if the woman is younger?"

I pause, because I didn't have an answer for that. Neah was bound. Devon had played on that, telling her it had wiped some of her history and that's why she couldn't remember him before he was adopted.

What if he was partly true? What if he had been hinting at another part of her life and just used the information for himself to gain access to Neah?

"What if one of her parents had an affair? That would explain why they look so similar." Damien suggests

Neah's memory of her parents wasn't the best. It was all shadowed in their death and the news that it was her parents who first had her bound. It would be a touchy subject and I'm not sure if she could handle talking about it, not right now. I hated keeping so much from her, but for now, it was important to keep her calm.

"I don't think they were like that. Besides, wouldn't it have killed his mate?"

"Not if he hadn't met her yet." Damien mutters.

It seemed unlikely.

"Were they aware of you?" I press, scanning the paperwork in front of me. There were a million things that needed doing in the pack.

"Not when I was watching. It seems like your brother was more interested in getting away and fucking the Lycan."

'What a fucking surprise!' Aero scoffs

I chuckle and Damien cocks an eyebrow at me.

"He tried his luck with Neah. Several times in fact."

He bobs his head, "Raven told me."

"It makes sense he would sleep with someone that looks like her. Neah was the one he never stood a chance at burying his dick in." I lean back in my desk chair. Jenson had stooped to a new low.

"That may be your concern, but I'm more interested to know how he found her. Lycans don't just wander around. If they did then news of their existence wouldn't be such a surprise, would it!"

I shrug my shoulders. "As long as he stays away from here. I don't give a shit."

"He is a man pissed, Dane. Everything about what I saw tells me he has plans. He has got himself involved in something dangerous and there is only one reason most people do that. Revenge."

"By sleeping with someone who looks like Neah? That's hardly revenge Damien. Neah is still my mate. She is still carrying my pups. If he wants to sleep with someone that looks like her, that's up to him. It doesn't cause me any problems." "You are missing the point."

"Really, and what's that?" I narrow my eyes, irritated by his ability to feel like he could control the situation.

"He won't be able to get revenge alone, not against a pack the size of yours. He needs support. Help." His dark eyes lock with mine. "It's unlikely Wolves will help him, given your reputation and your ability to twist things in your favour. It's possible he went looking for something and found what none of us have."

"It was a Lycan who killed Jess." I snap

"But he blames you, Dane. He blamed you for bringing us here."

"So what do you suggest I should do, Damien? Because it feels like sticking my face into something that doesn't concern me. Jenson made his choice in rejecting the pack. If he wants to run around fucking this Lycan then it is no bother to me." "She had control." He mutters

I tilt my head to one side. "What are you talking about?"

"He was panicking." Damiens frown deepens. "Like he was concerned that we had seen him." He shakes his head. "She was the one to reassure him, like she knew what she was doing. She pulled his face to hers and then told him to get in the car." He sighs, straightening his back, which cracks into alignment. "He's screwed up."

I follow what he is saying. "He went to her for help and now he is trapped helping her?"

What the fuck have you done Jenson?
