The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 33

“What the fuck is a Lycan?” Eric snaps

“Exactly what you saw. Part Wolf, part human.” His blue eyes move to mine. “Did you get her out?”

“What do you mean, true brother?” I demand

“Neah only has one brother and Trey isn’t him.”

“Don’t bullshit me!”

“I will tell you everything.” He stretches out his arms

“You would be the first.” I snap, losing my patience

“I am not loyal to Moonshine. I am a Rogue.” Devon tells us

‘He’s fucking nuts!’ Eric links me

“Rogue?” It wasn’t a term used among Wolves. You either belonged to a pack or you didn’t.

“Rejected by my pack.” Devon mutters unphased.

“Let’s say you are telling the truth. How does Neah not know who you are?”

“The same way as she believes Trey is her older brother.”

‘I can’t tell if he is lying or not.’ Aero mutters.

Devon points to his eyes. “Our eyes. They are identical, passed down through our mother and her mother and her mother before.”

“Anyone can have similar eyes.” I mutter

“You are right, they can, but what colour were Trey’s eyes?” He smirks at me. “Look, why would I bother telling you this?”

“To buy yourself time!” I snap.

“I’m in a dungeon, I can’t go anywhere.” He mutters with a sarcastic tone.

“Let me see if I can get this straight. You are something called a Lycan. A man that claims to be Neah’s younger brother. Someone who she doesn't know. And Trey isn’t related to her”

“Nailed it. Well almost. I didn’t say he wasn’t related. I said he wasn’t her brother!”

“Who is he?”

“Our uncle!”

‘So she is an Alpha.’ Aero murmurs in shock. ‘Being bound twice was not just because she has the essence of powerful blood. She is an Alpha by birth right. The first born.’

‘If it’s even true.’

“He doesn't believe the Alpha role should go to a female." Devon continues, "He portrayed himself as an older brother because of the bigger age gap between him and my father. The pack agreed with him.”

“How do you know all this?”

“I had someone on the inside.”

"Yes."

“Can I talk to you?” Eric asks, using his head to gesture to the steps.

“Do you think he is telling the truth?” Eric asks me the moment we are outside.

“I don’t know.”

“He wouldn’t say two words to me, yet the moment you come down, he tells you everything.”

“Keep questioning him.” I mutter. “I need to check out this Lycan shit. No violence,” I warn him. “If he is truly her brother, I don’t want her finding out that you beat him to a pulp.”

“No violence.” He confirms, “As always.”

In my office, Neah is slowly spinning in my desk chair. She doesn’t even hear me walk in and jams her feet into the carpet when she spots me, stopping the chair from turning.

“Are you looking for something?” I ask. The need to tear her clothes from her body was growing more and more intense.

She nods, “You.”

“You should have got someone to link me.”

“I could wait. I’m used to waiting.” She gives me a tight lipped smile

“How can I help you?”

“If I give you your heir, will that mean I can stay?”
