The Alpha's Contract Neah Read Online Free Novels & Stories

he asked me as we looked at each other. “Fine! But in one rule," I responded. "What is it? “he asked me. "Let me flirt with other guys. You have no right to control my life" I told him, sarcastically. He just laughed at what I said to him and agreed. He said he doesn't even care about my personal life. He just needs a wife to show up in front of the council. We signed a one year contract just to make sure that we don’t break any rules.

I whispered. I was not alright. But I was thinking with absolute clarity, which was far more important. We were halfway back to the east wing when a ranked wolf I recognized as one of Liam's elite scouts fell into step beside Nadia, murmuring something in a low voice I wasn't meant to hear. I heard it anyway. "The Alpha wants to see her. His study. Now." Nadia looked at me, her brow furrowing with a tension she didn't bother hiding this time. I didn't wait for her to give the command. I was already turning around.

I could not stop thinking about it. I was feeling a lot of things. Distrust. Exhaustion. Fear. Not the kind of fear that makes you scream or run away.. The kind that settles in slowly after you have been disappointed too many times. I know this kind of fear well. Luke said from behind me "She will agree eventually." His voice was steady. It broke through my thoughts. "Now Anna has nowhere else to go, Alpha. This is the place for her whether she likes it or not." I kept looking at the rain for another second before I turned around slowly.

The two Hawthorne elders, usually the most vocal in their opposition, exchanged panicked looks and managed a strained, awkward chuckle. "Andrew, there’s no need to be so hasty." "Exactly! If our Alpha is this confident, what are we afraid of? Let the investments continue!" Andrew nodded curtly. "Meeting adjourned." As he strode out, the elders cornered Daniel Cho, fishing for intel. "He’s usually a nightmare to deal with. Why is he acting like he just won a territory war?" "Is there some new contract we don't know about? Spill it, Daniel."

The Alpha frowns with dissatisfaction, his fierce eyes finding Chase with ill intention. Alpha Knight, despite his bluster, signed the contract. He doesn't look happy at all. And I am sure it is the thought of the wolf cry legend that has put him on his best behavior since I threw him off Neerah the first time I came in. “You are dead to Neerah. Be warned” I spat angrily before turning around to walk away from him. Oh…it was hard. But since Neerah will be fine, I feel less provocative towards the sorry excuse of a father.

He flinched slightly as our eyes met, his fear evident. Good. “Alpha—“ he wanted to greet. “Speak,” I commanded, my voice sharp and unyielding. There was no need for pleasantries. Alaric swallowed hard, shifting on his feet. “Alpha Atticus…” he began, his voice trembling, “I bring news about Luna Hera.” He said and my entire body tensed. “What about Hera?” I demanded, my voice dangerously low. “She… she has contracted the plague.” The words hit me like a physical blow, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. My hands balled into fists at my sides as the rage swelled inside me. My wolf growled in anger.

It became deeper, huskier as if his thoughts were as scattered as mine. I turned my head and glanced at him from the corner of my eyes. His eyes were moving down the length of my bare back, to my white panties, my butt, my naked legs. There was something dark in those eyes, something so dangerously bleak that it sped up my heartbeat some more. “ Alpha— ” “ I have seen all kind of women. With and without clothes, little trouble. So you don't need to worry." Alpha Alaric whispered, but his eyes were still dark, his gaze still burning every inch of my skin. “ I am just helping you.”

The new Alpha's expression was a mixture of shock and eagerness. “An alliance would be acceptable,” he said coolly, seemingly trying to hide his excitement and appear like a composed Alpha. “We can’t exactly discuss it properly now for obvious reasons,” Natalie said, flicking a look at the Alpha male of her pack, who was still very much in wolf form. “We’ll call it a temporary verbal contract—one that will expire in thirty days if you don’t contact us to lay out the details with Dominic.”

“I think the Alpha has been drugged, not to death but he looked like he was craving for—.” “Speak up.” I said, my voice firm and low. Leila’s brow furrowed, eyes narrowing. “Hold on, did he say anything? He ate something Evelyn cooked?” Kimora nodded her head. “Yes, he did eat the food cooked by Evelyn and he said nothing, I think the beta wants to, I don’t know.” She stuttered. I exchanged a glance with Leila. Leila folded her arms, her voice low but firm. “Something’s off with the Alpha.”
