Ch. 251..255: The Alpha Contract Chapter 251-255
Chapter 0251
Hey everyone, I want to apologise, there will be no update today. But I will be back tomorrow the 13th with a double update.
For those of you who are worried about Damien/ Mallory turning bad, you don't need to worry, you just need to let the events unfold and you will get more answers. Remember, everyone has a past and we have barely scratched the surface of Damien and Mallory, even after the conversation with Neah.
Any guesses who Mallory's mate is? She told Blair it was someone from the pack, but who? Hint, It's not Klaus
As always, thank you for any reviews, comments and gems that you are willing to leave. They are more than appreciated.
Have a fab day.
Taylor West
Chapter 0252
Neah
Since Damien and Dane had gone after Mallory, I had been pacing in front of the house, waiting for some news, any kind of news. Damien had been livid when I told him Mallory needed help. Thankfully the twins were fast asleep when Dane appeared, dragging an unconscious Jenson across the ground. But other than that, they are alone which only ties my stomach up in more knots. He is heading towards the dungeons.
Running to him, I ask what had happened.
"Mallory escaped, there wasn't enough time for her to explain what happened. I had to get him away." He gestures to Jenson. "The others stayed behind to see if she turned up."
"What did you do to him?"
"Nothing, he has been like this since we found Mallory dragging him into the forest. She crashed a car."
I follow him into the dungeon, where he wastes no time in tossing Jenson into a cell. Jenson's body rolls across the stone floor. Hitting the back wall with a thud. It reminded me of the time the same thing was done to Devon. Dane turns to look at me, his crimson eyes lock on mine as he makes his way toward me. "You shouldn't have let her go alone."
"She already had. Yesterday. I didn't know until this morning."
"As soon as you found out, you should have told me, Neah. Maybe we could have planned for it. Handled it better than Mallory taking everything into her own hands."
He's annoyed and I find myself nodding, like a scolded child. There were still certain things that took me right back to my awful childhood.
"Is Blair alive?" I ask quietly as I watch Jenson.
"Yes from what I have heard. She turned up in Lycan form."
His eyes glaze over, "And they are back." Dane slams the cell door shut, locking it with a frown etched into his face.
Damien and Mallory are already in the house by the time we get back.
"That was a fucking stupid idea, Mallory!" Damien is snapping at her. "Of all the crap you have pulled over the years, you just walked straight into the lion's den, without back up!"
"I was just getting answers!" Mallory growls back. "And I'm alive. Are you not grateful for that?!"
"Thanks to Neah." Damien is glaring at Mallory when we enter the office.
"Really? It was alright for you to go hunting your brother for a whole month with no word if you were okay? You couldn't even get off your high horse to contact anyone. Double fucking standards!" "This has nothing to do with me!" Damien snaps. "This is you trying to prove something. If you hadn't been able to link Neah, you would be dead."
"No I wouldn't"
"And you know that for certain?"
Mallory rolls her eyes at him. "Yes I do! Stop treating me like a child, Damien. I've been doing this shit a lot longer than you have. Is it because I'm a woman? Is that it? You feel the need to save the fucking day." "You know that is not what I mean." He shakes his head at her
"That's enough!" Dane snaps over the both of them. "Can we just be grateful that everyone is alive. Mallory, what happened?"
Mallory tells us everything except how she escaped.
"Did he let you go?" Damien quizzes.
She shakes her head and puffs out her cheeks. "I had help."
""Who?"
""My mate."
We all look at each other, because as far as we were aware, she had no mate. She had no mark on her neck, so she hadn't been claimed either.
"Your mate?" Damien presses.
She quietly nods at us, but keeps her eyes lowered. "He's a Wolf." She mutters."But he isn't ready to tell anyone. Because...well, because everyone in the pack hates me."
"He's from my pack?" Dane asks, glaring at Damien
She bobs her head again. "When I linked Neah, it turned out I linked him too, but he was closer by. He was the one who knocked out Jenson."
"Who?" Damien snaps.
"I won't give you a name, Damien. I respect his decision."
"You would only be able to link him if he claimed you." I mutter.
"I know." She lifts her top, showing us a mark on her stomach. A really random place to have a mark. Had he marked her there to keep his identity a secret? Because none of us would have known if it wasn't for her telling us. "How long?" Damien growls.
"A couple of weeks."
"You never said anything." Damien was so irritated that Mallory had kept something from him. "And it still doesn't excuse the shit you pulled tonight."
"Okay, but can you just hear me out? When she was attempting to torture me, I kept pushing and pushing, She wouldn't shift so I assumed that she couldn't. I pushed and pushed, expecting it to happen. When I questioned Jenson for information, he spilled that Blair is afraid to shift."
Chapter 0253
"Afraid?" Dane asks. His eyes flicker to me.
"Because she can't control herself when she does." Her eyes shift to Damien. "We both know everyone struggles with the darkness in different ways." She sighs, "But she did anyway, I mean, we saw it. She ate that deer that I crashed into. Devouring it like it was a drug." ""You still let her go." Dane shakes his head in annoyance.
"Because she will come for Jenson." Damien tells him. "She will come here, looking for him because he is her mate. We can trap her, keep her hostage and find out what her plan is."
"Or we could just kill her." Dane mutters. "What good is a plan if she is already dead?"
Damien nods in agreement, but I still needed more answers. Answers that I would never get if they kill her.
"I need her alive." I blurt out and feel everyone's gaze on me.
"Are you sure?" Dane asks
I bob my head. "She can't be doing all this just because we share the same father. Because that isn't my fault. I think there is more to her story."
"We can see how much Jenson knows." Mallory suggests. "Where did you put him?"
"Dungeon." Dane answers abruptly and walks out of the office.
I follow him to the kitchen, where he starts to fill a bucket with cold water. Pure anger is written across his face. He moves to the ice machine and chucks the ice in the cold water. "Dane...."
"We agreed no more secrets, Neah. I seem to be the only one that is doing that."
I feel my heart drop. "I know... This wasn't supposed to happen." I felt enough guilt already without him reminding me.
"I won't lose you Neah. The boys can't lose you either."
"I know." I really hadn't thought it through. "I just.... I finally feel that I have some control over my choices. This isn't how I thought tonight would go."
He sighs and pulls me into his arms, locking them tight around me. "Come with me, let's try getting some answers from the prick in my dungeons.
He grabs the bucket of water and hauls it out of the sink with ease.
"Why do you need that?"
"Something to help him wake up."
Back in the dungeons, Jenson is still out cold. Dane unlocks the cell and steps in with the huge bucket of ice cold water and flings it all over him.
"FUUUUCCCCKKKK!!! Jenson throws himself up right as Dane steps out of the cell and locks the door.
"Where the fuck am I?" Jenson demands. His eyes try to focus on the room. "Where is that bitch? Where's Blair?"
"I don't think you are in any position to be demanding answers." Dane tells him. "What are you up to Jenson?!"
Jenson bares his teeth at Dane as if that was going to somehow scare him.
"You have tried to beat me multiple times, believing that you should be Alpha. You have tried taking Eric out for the Beta position. You continue to lose. so what do you want?"
"I did take out Eric, the moment I fucked his girl!"
Dane smirks and shakes his head. "Did you know the kids were yours?"
Jensons eyes narrow. "Of course I did."
"Salem killed them."
He shrugs his shoulders at Dane, unbothered and unphased.
"Seriously, they were yours and you don't even care?" It bothered me. When I look at my boys, my heart feels like it's swelling with the love I have for them. How can someone just not care? "Kelsie didn't want me to have any part of their lives. She insisted your Beta believed them to be his own. I thought he might have figured it out way before now." He laughs to himself. "Idiot." "Bastard." Dane mutters
Jenson ignores him and looks me up and down. "Was the Lycan right? Did your kids turn out to be Lycans too?"
Dane sticks a hand out in front of me. A warning not to give him any information. Instead, I ask, "What are you and Blair up to?"
"You will find out soon enough."
"Does it change things now that she has shifted?" I ask, wanting to annoy him as much as he annoyed me
There is a glimmer of fear in his dark eyes. That fear quickly turns to anger before they glaze over.
"You can try and link her all you want, little brother. She is too wrapped up in finding food to eat." "You're wrong. She will burn this fucking place to the ground to find me."
Chapter 0254
Raven
"Maybe I can talk some sense into him." I mutter to Midnight.
'I don't think it will work. Aspen is flat out ignoring me.'
"You can link him?" I ask surprised. She hadn't said anything.
'Only when he arrived in the pack. It's like it's temporarily unlocked our ability to connect. But I'm not getting anything from him.' She sighs. 'Though being face to face might force him to speak to us.'
It had been two days since they had dragged him here. Damien and Dane took it in turns to interrogate him, but neither of them could get anything from him. Damien said it was like getting blood from a stone. And the only reason they hadn't tortured him for information was because I had asked them not too.
A piece of me really hoped the kind brother that I love is in there somewhere, locked away by his own grief for Jess. I wondered if he had ever really gotten over it.
I had been begging to speak to him, to let me have just a couple of minutes with him. But both my brother and my mate said no.
"They won't let me." I tell Midnight. "There is just no way Damien or Dane are going to let me go down there."
'They are not the only ones in charge.'
"Midnight?!" I was so shocked by her response. She was usually the one that wanted to follow all the rules and obey our Alpha. But her itchiness to see her twin was eating away at her.
"Talking to your Wolf again?" Damien makes me jump as he makes his way through the open door of our bedroom.
I really need to be more aware when I'm talking to Midnight.
"Yes. She's my Wolf."
He steps up behind me, bringing his arms around my waist as he buries his face against my neck. His warm breath fans over my skin as he speaks, igniting every inch of me. "You do realise that I know you're trying to find a way to go and see Jenson." I feel my cheeks flame.
"We are already holding off torturing him because you requested it. I know you think your brother is in there somewhere, but...."
""But what?"
"He made his choice, Raven. He made a choice to pair up with someone instead of dealing with his grief."
"You think he made a mistake? Claiming Blair."
"I think he was in over his head and Blair offered him something. Something that he couldn't say no to. And I know you think that too." "Maybe I can get to the bottom of it. Maybe seeing me will help. We are twins, we have twin Wolves. He can't ignore me."
"I will speak to Dane."
"Thank you, that's all I'm asking."
"If he approves, you don't go alone. I mean it Raven."
"I won't be alone. I have Midnight."
"What is it with you two?"
I cock a brow at him, not following.
"Neah used the same phrase. But mentioned her Lycan."
"Because it's true." I step out of his hold and turn to face him. "Have you spoken to Mallory?"
An immediate anger washes over his face.
"I know you're mad, Damien. But she acted on Neah's orders. You can't stay mad at her for that."
"She could have got herself killed."
They hadn't spoken since their argument the other night. But he wasn't really mad at her for following Neah's orders. It was the mate secret. He wanted to know so that he could verify them. Though it didn't matter, from what I heard, the guy had already claimed her. And it was someone from our pack so it couldn't be that bad anyway.
"Should I be jealous that you are so angry about her having a mate?" I wasn't because I knew he was just worried about his best friend.
Chapter 0255
"Of course not." He pulls me in against his hard chest. His lips find mine. The kiss is full of need and want. When he breaks away from me, my lips feel bruised but wanting more. "I only ever want you, Raven."
He stares at me for so long, it's like he is searching the very depths of my soul. My heart pounds in my chest and my core tightens with need. He cups my mound over my shorts, teasing me with his slow moving fingers. I knew he could feel how wet I was. "DADDY! Where are you?" Dorothy shrieks
"I'm sorry." He murmurs against my cheek. "If it were an adult, I would have made them wait while I bend you over and fuck you."
"It's okay, go. I can finish myself." I smirk at him.
He kisses me just below the ear lobe. "Don't you dare." He warns and drags his teeth over my lobe. But I wasn't promising anything. His version of punishing me was making me orgasm over and over until i couldn't take it anymore. I wasn't going to say no to that. Damien closes the door as he leaves and I slide my hand inside my panties, making slow circles above my clit, imagining that it's his tongue.
As I slide a finger between my folds I let out a soft groan and Damien's voice fills my head. 'I told you not too.'
His voice just adds fuel to the fire and the dull ache inside me grows. 'Come fuck me then.' I mutter back through the link. He doesn't answer and less than a minute later, the door is practically taken off its hinges as he barges in.
He slams it shut with just as much force and faces me. His cock practically begging to be freed.
"What did I tell you?" He murmurs as my groans deepen.
I try to keep my eyes locked on his.
"Let me see." He demands. His fingers hook into the waistband of my shorts and he tugs them down to my ankles along with my thong. A deep growl echoes in his chest as he takes in my drenched hand.
"Sit on the bed." He orders. "Don't stop."
As I sit, he kneels in front of me spreading my legs as wide as they can go. His fingers skim around the outside of my clit, sending a shudder of delight through me.
He unzips his jeans, letting his hardened cock free and with his free hand he slides it up and down his length as he watches me work.
"Oh Damien." I mumble, biting back the scream that wants to rip through me.
His eyes flicker up to mine for a brief second and then his tongue hits my clit, working it quickly as I continue to finger myself. "Damien!" My eyes roll as he suddenly pulls my fingers away, pushing his tongue inside of me as far as it could go. Grabbing his hair, I ride his face as the orgasm takes over me.
Falling back on the bed, I let out a little laugh that quickly turns to a squeal as he slides his cock all the way inside of me.
Rocking his hips, he pulls my legs up over his shoulders and leans forward until I'm curled up so far that I could see his cock sliding in and out of my pussy. Beads of my own juices appear with every thrust, making him slam into me a little harder. "Fuck." I mutter. It felt like his dick was somewhere in my upper torso and with each thrust, he has me crying out.
As I start to tighten around him, he suddenly pulls out and flips me over before I have a chance to acknowledge what had just happened.
His cock slides into me just as harshly and quickly as before. covered in my juices as my pussy clamps around him.
He leans forward on top me, thrusting in small movements, when he picks me up and sits at the end of my bed until I'm facing the full length mirror. With his chest against my back, his throbbing cock fills my hole as he plays with my nipples. I tip my head back on his shoulder and he thrusts up into me.
