The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0530

Fresh was the last thing that I considered him to be. He seemed caught up in his own problems. "Is that right?" I

mutter

*The waters are not so treacherous in the mornings. It's like the storms of the night have calmed. Just like people."

*Are you trying to tell me that you think Serkan will change his mind?"

"Yes, I think that he is being unreasonable." Silas tells me as he grabs a couple bottles of juice from the fridge. He slides one across to me as he flicks off the top of his.

*Unreasonable? He isn't offering her something she wants. He will never be able to."

"And I am telling you that he will not accept that."

*So you have said. But this is non negotiable." I take a swig of the juice. "Would you want to get to know our father after knowing he gave you away? Would you want to know the man that never showed an interest in you in the years he was alive? Because that is how she feels. I feel it, I feel every emotion that goes through her and now, some asshole expects her just to do what he is asking because he said so."

"You have a point." He stares at me.

*And you are his glorified puppet."

He slams his bottle down, a crack snakes its way up through the glass. "I am no one's puppet." He growls

*Said the man that is doing someone else's work without knowing the full details."

*I will admit, it was not the request I was asked to follow through on."

*So I will ask you again, do you really think he wants Neah to take over? The people might. They know of her existence. It sounds like they are desperate to follow her but are not allowed to. For all I know, Serkan fears her. She is a female Alpha. She could ruin what he has built. He may not know what she is capable of. So the best option would be to snuff her out. And that is something I won't let happen."

"He said he wants to retire." He scowls. Even I could see that he doesn't believe the words coming out of his own mouth.

*Does he or has he just said that so you would make more of an effort to retrieve her?" I push, trying to make him see the likely truth. "He is actually treating you like a domesticated dog and asking you to play fetch."

There's a twitch under his right eye as he stares at me. "Don't insult me on things you don't understand."

"You insult yourself by not knowing what Serkan actually wants. Do you actually have Alpha blood in you?" He curls his lip at me. "I'm your twin, of course I do."

"Then fucking act like it."

He glares at me. "Come on then. You think you know what I should do. Why don't you tell me?!"

*To start with, grow a pair of balls."

*Haha, very funny." He sneers. "Why did you even bother coming to replace me this morning? All you have done is insult me, over and over. I have told you that I am not happy with the change of plan. It is not what I agreed to, nor what I signed up for. I have a mate back home, waiting for me. Now, I need to figure out how to get her out of White Cliffs without her lasing her head.*

*You have a mate?" I was a little surprised, there had been no mention of one until now. I was positive he had a thing for Neah. He stared at her like so many other men. One of want and desire.

"Yes I do." He snaps. "If I don't return, who do you think is going to be punished for my forced betrayal?"

His hand closes around the cracked bottle. He squeezes it until the glass explodes in his hand. Red streaks creep out from between his closed fingers.

Wanting to protect his mate was something I understood. I would give my life if it means that Neah is kept safe. "How long have you been mated?" I ask

"Five years."

*Pups?"

*Just the one."

"I will advise that you replace a way to get them out before it's too late."
