Contract Beta Chapter 77
Leilani-We arrived at this beautiful hotel in Utah the next afternoon. It wasn’t nearly as nice as the packhouse, but it was very elegant. I was hoping to get some time with Eric before the ball, but I have barely seen him since this morning.He had ridden with Tate in a different car, while Brook and I were in another. I woke up to a note written by Eric this morning, saying he had to make a stop on the way. At first, I had been a little disappointed, but I had to admit it was fun spending time with Brook.It would have been nice if she had brought Bailey, but I guess bringing a newborn to an event like this wasn’t ideal. Brook checked into another room, that she would be sharing with Tate, while I took a room just down the hall from her. I had thought I would be sharing a room with Eric, but when I checked in it was only my name on the reservation.I spent a couple of hours checking out the hotel, hoping I would run into Eric, but nothing. I tried to connect with him with our bond,

Leilani-“I do.” I told her, knowing there was no sense in denying it.“You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that. Pretending with you was more of a hassle than I wanted. I could have ended you the first time I saw you, but I thought it would be more interesting to mess with you. Now that you know who I am though, I can’t just walk away. I was hoping to have more time to torment you though.” She sighed as if she were upset about something, yet the look on her face was far from being upset.There was a gleam in her eyes that virtually sparkled with something I couldn’t quite put my finger on. If I could remember the way she ended my life in the past, I would imagine she had found pleasure in it. That was the closest way I could describe the look on her face.“You won’t lay a finger on her.” Eric snarled, taking a more protective stance in front of me.“And what are you going to do about it, my dearest Trevor?” Cordelia spoke.Okay technically it was Mavis, but it was hard to dist

Leilani-We arrived at the packhouse in less time than it took us to get to Utah. This time Eric had been in the car with me, but we hadn’t spoken much. I had used the time to think about everything that had happened.“I told Jarod everything that happened.” Archer said as he came rushing outside to greet us.“Thank you. Where is he right now?” I asked, not stopping as I made my way inside.“Waiting outside Eric’s office.” Archer stated as he kept pace with me.Reaching the office, I don’t know why I was surprised that Tate and Brook had joined us. Tate had said they were in this with me, but I guess it was going to take a bit of time to get used to it. We all got situated in the office, with me standing against the desk, Archer in one of the chairs, Brook and Tate on the couch, and Eric sitting in his desk chair.“I am sorry you all had to face her like that. I have contacted Delilah and she said she was going to stay where she was. According to her Cordelia came back as if nothing h

Eric-Since leaving Leilani, I had tried to get some sleep, but it proved to be pointless. I ended up looking online for a few hours to see if anyone has sent any messages on the program Brook and I set up. After a while, I hadn’t seen anything worth looking into, so I logged off.By then it was about time for the pack to start training, so I thought it was the opportune time to check on our newest member. He had been released from the hospital and set up in one of the apartments to start working on the program. I feel that I have been neglecting his progress with everything going on with Leilani and everything else.Luckily, we haven’t had any issues with the fact Sawyer hadn’t renounced his pack after what happened in California. Brook has been tending to the kid’s needs, so it wasn’t like I just let him figure it out on his own. It was time for me to check in on his progress though.Reaching his apartment, I knocked on the door and waited for him to answer. He was supposed to be jo

Eric-Jarod was ready to go when I returned. He had a dart gun with him, which he explained was to tranquilize anyone that happened upon us. I had thought of someone figuring out what we were doing as well, but I had planned to take it to a completely different level.It would probably be better to knock them out instead of killing anyone though. Mostly because it would hopefully prevent any unnecessary deaths and possible wars if it came out that there was nothing worth pursuing. If Sawyer was telling the truth though, I suspected a war with the pack was possible either way.The sooner we got in and out though, the better. I gave him the location of where we would be going. Then he had to locate it on a map to make sure we would arrive inside the house.Once he was sure that we would arrive where we wanted to, he placed his hand on my shoulder and told me to take a deep breath. In a blink of an eye, the scenery around us changed and we were standing inside an abandoned house. For a m

Eric-Back at the packhouse, we took everything to my office. I decided to wait for now to let Sawyer know, until after I looked through some things. If I had any questions regarding anything I found, I figured it would be pointless to take him away from his studies.“That was cutting it close you know?” Jarod said as he placed the files next to the lockbox that I had just placed on my desk.“Trust me I know.” I sighed.“I have to say, that was both exciting and very stupid at the same time. If I was a werewolf, like my brother, I might have to report you. However, I don’t fall under the same laws that the rest of you do. You will have to tell them what you did though. I am fairly sure there is a law against breaking into someone else’s pack.” Jarod sat in the chair across from where I was sitting in my desk chair.“I will, but first I want to make sure it was worth the effort. It isn’t that we have any laws about it, but I suppose it isn’t without consequences.” I spoke.Pulling the

Eric-“She still hasn’t come out of it?” I asked Archer as soon as I entered the room.“Nope. I don’t think she will for a while either.” Archer spoke.Leaning against the door frame, I observed Leilani. Although she had been sitting here for hours, not really doing much on a physical level, she was sweating profusely. It almost looked as if she had been running for days.Her breathing seemed a bit labored as well. I didn’t think she was in any danger, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t worried about her. From the time I left her until now, it has been about twelve hours or so.To meditate for that long without sleep, food, water or even to use the restroom, couldn’t be good for her. I didn’t know what was going on with her, but at least she looked as if she was at peace. Her face was relaxed, and her heart rate was steady.“Do you think we should snap her out of it? She really should eat and drink something. I don’t want her to push herself too much.” I spoke to Archer, without taking my
Contract Beta Chapter 84
Eric-One by one each warrior on duty responded, except for one. It was one thing for Sawyer not to answer, but for a trained warrior? Something was definitely wrong.“We have an issue, meet me out front.” I linked with my brother, as I pushed from my desk and rushed out of my office.“You two, with me!” I yelled over my shoulder at Matt and Drew.I was hoping it wasn’t too late. It had been maybe ten minutes since the warriors on duty were supposed to check in, which meant, if something did happen, it was after the last check. If one of them hadn’t reported their status during the last check, an alarm would have been sounded.“What is going on?” Tate asked as soon as I stepped out of the house.Thankfully, he started running alongside me, meaning we didn’t have to stop. As we ran, I explained what happened and my suspicions. Tate didn’t bother trying to take command of the situation, since he knew I was just as capable of leading the warriors as he was.When we reached the tree line,
