The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 614

Neah

‘Is that…’ Nyx murmurs. ‘Are they Wolves?’ She sounded just as confused as I did.

We were certain; everyone was. They were supposed to be Hybrids. But two small black Wolves stalk towards the Omega, who is whimpering and crying.

“Girls, stop!” Dane plants himself in front of the Omega while I remain glued to the spot. They weren’t even two weeks old but acted like they had been in the world for months.

Blood dripped from their faces as their feet stilled. They are quick to bare their teeth and shuffle towards each other, standing shoulder to shoulder. If it weren’t for their eyes, I wouldn’t be able to tell them apart.

They are identical, even down to the ridge of hair that runs the length of their spine. The longer I looked at them, the more I realised they looked slightly different to other Wolves. Their snouts are a little longer, and their tails are a little shorter. Maybe it was because they were cubs.

Aderyn’s blue eyes shift to me. Using her shoulder, she nudges Willa, and very slowly, they creep towards me with their heads low as though they know they are in trouble.

The girls circle my feet and then start pawing at my legs. Nyx is silent, and so is Dane as he watches them.

The pawing at my legs became more frantic and desperate. A sudden sharp pain rips through my calf. As I look down, Willa is dragging claws through my flesh, claws that look like they belong to a Lycan.

“Go get that checked out!” Dane tells the Omega as he creeps forward. His hands wrap around Willa’s middle as he pulls her away. She lets out a tiny cry and squirms about, trying to get free.

Another cry penetrates the air as I turn to see Damien pulling Aderyn from me.

‘Neah,’ Nyx mutters, ‘You can’t just stand there; you need to do something.’

I couldn’t move; my legs were heavy, like cement had suddenly been poured over them.

The girl's cries grow as the men wrestle to keep them in their hands. I watch Willa squirm, tiny claws digging into Dane’s flesh as she attempts to escape.
