The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 89

Neah

His eyes were on my hand. Weird hollow rasps come out of him as blood trickles down the front of his top.

Very slowly he looks down. Like time had stopped to allow him to process what had happened. His hands shake as he touches his chest, he croaks and his body sways. Without a single thought, I shove him off the roof. Standing still until I hear his body hit the ground with a deafening crack.

Sitting down, I pull my knees to my chest, letting the cold night air rustle through my hair. I had just killed someone.

I turn my hand over to look at it, it had partially shifted. Dried spots of blood still lingered. Running my thumb over the tips of my fingers, I feel nothing, no pain, no sharp edges under my skin. The claws had disappeared as quickly as they came.

‘I’m sorry about that, but that prick needed dealing with.’ The voice rumbles through my head, unbothered by what had happened.

There was no one on the roof but me. And it certainly wasn’t Alpha Dane who was speaking to me.

‘You are right, I am far from a man.’ I hear the amusement in her voice

‘Who…who are you?”

‘I’m Nyx, your Lycan. And it looks like we found each other at the right time.’

‘We don’t…. You are not supposed to be in my head.’

‘It’s funny what a little Alpha blood and a few bindings can do.’

I was annoyed, if I had a Lycan, why hadn't she shown herself. ‘Where have you been?’

‘I’ve been right here, but those fuckers had me shut down.’

It was an odd sensation, feeling her roam my mind. ‘The period?’ I whisper

‘Bingo!’

Stunned into silence, I keep my arms wrapped around my legs. Is this what Alpha Dane and the others feel like when their Wolf is talking?
