The Alpha’s Contract
Chapter 0079

"We said...."

"No, the um.... the witches?"

"Madame Curie said you were powerful. That she had never seen anything like it. She bound you twice and wouldn't do it again. Fucking bitch!" My fist slams against the table, making Neah jump. Neah clutches her legs tighter as she stares at me with wide blue eyes.

"She knew the consequences. She wouldn't bind you a third time. That's what she meant when she said she wouldn't do it." I was furious.

"I thought...." Neah whispers, "I thought she told you the truth."

"She usually does, eventually."

'There are too many trying their luck with us.' Aero murmurs. 'We need to remind them who the top Wolf is!'

Glancing over at Neah, her face rested on her knees and her eyes had closed.

'Is she asleep?' Aero asks

"Neah?" I had just been talking to her.

She doesn't stir as I try waking her.

'She's been sleeping a lot lately.' Aero mutters. 'Have you noticed that?'

'She's probably still adapting to life here. She was exhausted. Her body is just playing catch up.'

'Who are you trying to bullshit? You've been asking her if she feels okay for days now!'

Placing the back of my hand against her forehead, I feel the extreme heat she is giving off. It was new, I hadn't felt it when I had my arm around her.

"Neah?" She still doesn't stir

"Neah?" I try shaking her shoulders to wake her. Her legs fall down as her head rolls back, Her heart is beating just as steady as ever. It didn't make sense why she wasn't waking up 'RAVEN!' I link my sister, demanding that she comes straight away. She arrives in minutes and quickly tends to Neah.

Checking her over, she tells me that she can replace nothing wrong.

"Then tell me, why is my mate burning up?"

"I don't know." She frantically rolls up Neah's sleeves, investigating her arms

"What are you looking for?"

"I don't know. A needle site, a bite, she could be having a reaction to something?"

"She can heal."

Neah coughs in her unconscious state, and a tiny bit of bright red appears at the corner of her mouth. Forcing her mouth open, I smell the blood before I see it. Her mouth quickly starts to fill with it and if I hadn't leaned her forward, she would likely have choked on it. "Fuck, fuck, fuck. What has she eaten?" Raven mutters as she continues to search Neah's arms

"I don't know. She hasn't had anything since we have been in the office."

Looking around the room. I look for something she might have touched, or something that didn't belong. Nothing seemed out of place

"I need her in the hospital, Dane. I can't treat whatever this is, here."

Picking Neah up, I carry her on her side so that she doesn't choke on the blood. There were many things we could heal from, but suffocation was not one of them.

By the time we got to the hospital. Neah's heart is racing. It's almost impossible to hear a single heartbeat under the constant hum.

"We need to strip her." Raven mutters. "Something has to have happened."

"Surely he wouldn't be so stupid." I mutter, helping to remove Neah's top.

"Who?"

"Devon. Neah let him out and he held her wrist, moments before he made a threat."

"Woah, that is a lot of information in one sentence." Raven murmurs as she tugs Neah's jeans off.

"Where did he grab her?"

"Her wrist."

Checking her wrists again, there was nothing. No sign of anything that looked even a tiny bit different.

Then I see it. A small raised bump just off of her shoulder and as I look at Neah, I see blood leaking from her ears and I already knew what she had been injected with. This could not be happening. Raven quickly draws some fluid out of the small bump. A clear liquid mixed with a little of her blood. "Is that what I think it is?"

"Blood of Wolfsbane."
