The Alpha and His Contract Luna novel Chapter 93

I don’t waste time following her. By what she said I am assuming it’s the assignment Sylvia mentioned.

I couldn’t wait for my warriors. So I link Hunter and tell him to follow me along with the others. He was the best tracker I’ve ever known. It wouldn’t take him long to catch up.

I shift into fang and let him take over. Let him follow Red as we keep our pace behind her.

I am not sure if Lauren is even conscious. Or if it’s like before. When she was hunting the serial killer and she didn’t remember when Midnight took over.

Running through the forest is usually exhilarating but not today. Today I was filled with a lot of tension and nervousness.

“Do you feel that, Fang?” I ask him, pacing inside his head.

I didn’t know where we were going or why. But for some reason I felt that things were going to change. That my life once again was going to be turned upside down.

I hated that feeling because I liked my life the way it was. I didn’t need a fucking storm disrupting everything things.

“Yeah…I feel it too” he replies, breathing hard.

Midnight was fast. Fang and I are the strongest among Alphas but we were having a hard time keeping up with her.

“Any idea what it’s about?”

I hated the idea of not knowing. Of being in limbo. Surrounded by anxiety. I fucking hated it and I just wanted to get this over and done with so I could crawl into bed with Red in my arms.

Whatever the goddess wanted Lauren to do was big. This wasn’t just about tracking one serial killer. This was more. Otherwise Sylvia wouldn’t have asked me to have the warriors on standby

“No...But I don’t like the feelings it fucking evokes” he growls.

I nod my head and shut up and let him focus.

The trees pass by us in a blur. Zipping past us at dizzying speed. I notice that Midnight is heading in the west side.

That was considered no man’s land. There was nothing there. No buildings, no roads, no infrastructure. There was absolutely nothing so I wondered why she would head that way. Unless there was something that we missed.

“Who do you think she’s going to kill? She did mention the goddess’ left hand will vanquish those that hurt her children and we know she’s her left hand” Fang asks, very curiously.

Her words have been playing like a fucking broken inside my head. My brain dissects each and every word.

“I’ve concluded a couple of things from what she said.” I begin. “The first one is that she’s going to kill more than one person this time. And the second is that, those she’s going to kill are somehow related to her nightmares”

“How?”

“Think about it, Fang. She said none who hurt the goddess’ children is going to live right? And what has been the main theme of her nightmares since they began?” I ask him.

It’s like a light bulb goes on in his head. “Werewolves being experimented on by humans”

“Bingo…My guess is that these weren’t just dreams. They were visions. She was somehow able to see what was happening to those captured wolves.”

“Fuck!” is his only reply.

The fact that this was happening and none of us knew about it pissed me off. Our own people were being experimented on and we didn’t have a fucking clue.

All of a sudden Midnight stops. She sniffs the air for a second then resumes running. It’s like she didn’t even realize that she was being followed. Or she didn’t care.

I don’t know for how long we ran but finally Midnight comes to stop. We were at the edge of a forest and she was staring at something ahead of her.

We approach her but she suddenly turns and growls menacingly at us. I’m still in awe of the beast that Lauren is. Midnight was bigger than we were and we were the biggest motherfucker we know so that’s saying a lot.

“Good, let's roll then”

I change back to Fang and Lauren into Midnight. Taking out the guards isn’t hard. Within minutes they’re all lying dead. After that we get inside and we split into groups. Midnight and I are in our own group.

The building has an antiseptic smell but underneath that you smell the scent of blood, piss and rotting flesh. The stench is pungent. We hear a scream and for some reason it grabs our heart like a vise grip. Refusing to let go.

Midnight rushes towards a white door at the end. She slices the man guarding it. Killing him on the spot.

She burst through the door with me following behind her.

The sight before me almost brings me to my knees. Werewolves. My people are in different stages of shifting. Tied to an operating table. Being operated on.

Red told me what she saw in her dreams but nothing could prepare me for seeing it in real life. It was heartbreaking and utterly inhumane.

“What the fuc…”

The man doesn’t get to finish his sentence before Midnight is tearing his head off. From there everything turns into chaos. The humans try to escape but we don’t let them.

We kill all ten of them that were present and fuck do we make it hurt. Their death isn’t swift. This time screams fill the building but it’s not that of our people. It’s the screams of our enemies.

Midnight changes back to Lauren. She approaches one wolf in particular. I see the tears in her eyes as she gets to the woman.

I change back and go to her. Intending to comfort her. But stop dead in my tracks when I get close to Red.

“Mayra” Lauren whispers just as the word is torn from my lips.

“Mate”
