The Alpha’s Contract
Chapter 0513

Neah.

"I was just about to link you." I tell Dane as he comes in with Logan sat on his shoulders. I look down to see Evrin sitting on Dane's foot with his arms and legs wrapped around Dane's leg.

"I took them to see Damien. It seemed like you needed the nap." He lowers Logan and leans in to press his lips against mine. "Did it help?"

"For now." Logan holds his arms up to me. Opening and closing his hands to tell me he wanted to be picked up.

"Samara thinks she has found something." He tells me as I swing Logan up on to my hip

"About White Cliffs?" It had to happen sooner or later. Damien had said she was being pretty relentless at trying to replace something. "Klaus said there was nothing."

"He did, but she has a bit of a theory." He tells me

"And Damien believes it?"

"Belief is a strong term. I think he is trying to take a step back and let her figure this out. Yet he is cautious. It seems as though he is trying to keep her level headed and not run away with an idea. While I was there, he did tell her we needed something more concrete and that we wouldn't go on a hunch."

"Was she annoyed?"

"No. She took the book and started reading it, again. She is determined."

'He wants us to go there.' Nyx murmurs

"What was Samara's theory?" I ask. I can ask him the other thing in a minute.

"She thinks the book is to help Kitsons replace their way home."

I snort, "This pack is my home. This is the twins home. You took over from your father here. You've grown your pack. I somehow helped the Lycans move in and made it even bigger. My home isn't somewhere with a name like White Cliffs."

'I agree.' Nyx murmurs

"And how is it that of all the Lycans here, no one knows anything about that pack? Yet the majority of them knew there was a female Alpha? Even Blair knew before I did. I know you said they are likely a secretive pack, but someone has to know something."

"I don't have that answer, but I also didn't know what you were when I met you." He gives me a small smile. "Maybe it is somehow ingrained into the Lycan connection. Maybe it's the importance of your bloodline. Maybe they grew up listening to stories of a prophecy. And when you accepted who you are, that broke everything that was keeping you disconnected."

'It makes a tiny bit of sense.' Nyx tells me in a huff. 'Like how it is ingrained in us. Maybe that's why Dakota believes she is supposed to be our Beta.'

"We talked about this." I mutter to Dane. ""We have."

"You said you would accept my decision." I murmur

He nods his head at me. "You also said if they found something, you would consider it after the pups are born. You know I will support you, but this, I think, is something you should seriously consider, for them." He gestures to the boys. "Their home will always be Black Shadow no matter what their legacy is."

He takes Logan from me. "Now go get dressed, we are going out."

"Out?"

"It's about time I took you on a proper date, isn't it?" He cocks a brow at me. "Athena has already agreed to take the boys and she is currently Lycan proofing her home. Just in case Evrin tries a repeat of what he did here." "You told her?" I mutter in surprise

"You did say there was no point hiding it anymore. Though I am still surprised that Blair hasn't run her mouth off."

'Because no one will believe her.' Nyx snorts.

Mallory helps me choose something to wear. She pulls a long black strappy dress out of her wardrobe. "It stretches so it will fit the bump and will show off your figure." She smiles at me. "I think ou will look better in it than I ever did.

I had stayed clear of dresses as much as I could. Only wearing them as a last resort. Being forced to live in a ratty maids outfit for years made me hate them. Give me jeans or joggers and I was content. But I hadn't lived that life for a long time. I couldn't let things like that hold me back anymore. I had found my place and I was finally thriving.
