The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 312

“There you are” I beam at Damien as I enter the packhouse. He was making his way down the stairs, but he had an air of confusion surrounding him. “You good?”

“She did it.”

“Huh?”

“She has control. She shifted.”

“Seriously?” I feel myself grinning from ear to ear. “That’s awesome, we have been waiting for this for so long. How did she do it?” I stare at him expectantly, waiting for the amazing news.

“Neah’s different.” He mutters. “She’s bonded with her Lycan.” His eyes settle on mine, “Which is good, right?”

“Of course it is. What’s wrong with you? Why wouldn't it be good?”

Damien smiles at me, “Nothing. I guess, on some levels, I never thought it would happen. She’s been battling her darkness for a long time. So long that I thought it would eventually win. The darkness has always won before.”

“You’re wrong. You and I are living proof that it doesn't always win.”

He nods, “You’re right. I’m just overthinking it.” He looks over his shoulder up the stairs. “And she seems happy. They both do.” His eyes return to me. “You were looking for me?”

“I need your help.”

He follows me to my house and I point to the table. He sighs and steps up to it. His eyes scan over the items.

“Are these…”

“Yes!”

“And they…”

“Yes!” I snap

“And I’m the first person you are telling.”
