The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 582

Brax

“What’s happening?” Indy’s heart rate speeds up as her hands move along the wall, desperately patting for an exit.

“This is Thalia,” I growl. We are closed in on all sides. Plunging us into complete darkness that even I was struggling to see through. The only thing that is clear is Indy’s bright soul, though it is slowly being taken over by panic.

“I’m still here,” I add as I make my way toward her. “You are not alone.”

“We are trapped! How are you so calm?” I could tell she was trying hard not to break, but it was only a matter of time.

“You’ve told Orion. The others will be along to find us. The Witch Hunters, remember.” There is no point in panicking in a situation like this. All it leads to is more problems.

“One is stuck as a fucking Wolf!” Her hands slap the wall.

In some ways, she reminded me of Madison. Quick to panic when things no longer made sense.

“Indy, has Orion said anything?”

“No.” I watch her soul drift down the wall as she slumps to her ass. “I let her take Silas from me. I just stood there and watched him forget me like a curtain pulled down over his eyes. I didn’t try. I didn’t do anything. I’m never going to see him again, am I?”

“Yes, you are. I made a deal. I am getting you back to Silas. But you might have to dig deep and find those damn fucking Witch abilities of yours because these walls are fucking moving.”

“It’s not my imagination?” She whispers

“No.” It is so gradual that it’s barely noticeable, but it was still happening. Millimetres at a time. A way to mess with our heads, knowing that a slow death is coming. Thalia couldn’t even kill us herself, she had to squash us with some pathetic trick.

A cackle rips through the small room. “Little girl, you couldn’t just leave it alone, could you?”
