The Alpha’s Contract
Chapter 0057

"You didn't tell me that." Eric scowls at her.

"There is much more to Neah's past that has long been buried."

"And let me guess, a million?"

"Not this time, this time, you need to know."

"What the fuck are you talking about?" I sano, growing impatient.

"Neah has been bound a minimum of four times. Perhaps many more. It was not until I heard the name of her pack, that I suddenly realised who you were talking about. The newborn baby that I bound." 'Four times?' Aero mutters alarmed

"What? You bound her as a baby?" I was disgusted.

"You said you are aware she is a Lycan." Madame Curie taps her long fingernails on the table

"Yes, though I don't know much about them."

"They shift at thirteen." she smiles like its a great bit of information.

"I was made aware. But what does that have to do with you binding her?"

"She shifted the day she was born."

Eric and I look at each other, and speak in unison. "That can't be possible."

"I saw it with my own eyes, Alpha Dane and until a few weeks ago, you didn't know her kind existed."

"Bullshit." I snap, rising from my chair.

"She was different. Is different." Madame Curie sighs

"You said four times. Her eighteenth, when she was six, as a newborn and when?"

"Just after the age of one."

""One? What the hell can a one year old do?"

"She started shifting again. Her father was beside himself. He didn't know what to do, so he called me again. But this time, when I met her, she was strong, powerful. I watched her shift in and out of her beast as though it was some kind of game. Like she knew that was why I was there."

"How could a one year old know what you were planning?" Eric asks

"You tell me. To seal the bind, she needed to be in human form, otherwise she would be bound and trapped in Lycan form. We had to wait days as she forced herself to stay awake, fighting sleep like she knew what was coming."

It didn't sound anything like my shy, stuttering mate. But then she had been beaten so much over the years that maybe they had made her a shell of what she used to be.

"You bound her twice, who bound her when she was six and then again when she was eighteen?"

"I do not know. But I did try to tell you, Alpha Dane. I told you she had strong Alpha blood and I was right. I am right."

"Why are you here now? Why did you wait so long to tell me? What do you hope to gain from it?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?" Eric quizzes. "So you have been bugging me for days, just to tell us this."

"She isn't just your bride, is she Alpha Dane? She is your mate, the one destined to be by your side."

I don't respond

"Hmm, the Moon Goddess does work in strange ways."

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" I snap

"You are a powerful man, Alpha Dane. You are either being tested or you have met your match. She will either break you or make you." Madame Curie gets to her feet. "Now I must go."

"Is that it? You are going to swan in here with that kind of information and then disappear again."

"There is only so much I can tell you, Alpha Dane. I don't know what that girl is capable of. I just know that she is. I felt it when I was around her as a baby. I felt it the moment I set foot in your pack." "Felt what?"

"Her power." she looks me dead in the eye. "And that is what drew you to her, long before you scented the mate bond."
