The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 452

Brax

Madison’s chestnut eyes find mine. “Are you sure? What about the other’s? What about Neah and Dane? We are doing this without even telling them.”

“They will understand.”

“But I don’t.”

“Then why are you coming with me?”

She sighs. “Probably because I’m an idiot. I mean, it’s not like I can help you in any way, is it?”

“We can go back.” I offer, “I can take you back to the safety of the pack, but I need to know what’s happening to me.”

Madison looks back over her shoulder in the direction of the pack. We were completely out of sight now. The Wolf on the gate had probably already told Eric unless he didn’t bother reading the note.

“If I don’t find out what is happening to me, I am more than useless to them.”

She frowns at me.

“That is not what I meant and you know it.” I scowl back. “They brought me here for a reason and I am no longer holding up my end of the deal with Dane.”

“I’m sure if you explain….”

“I can’t explain it, Madison. I don’t know what’s happening to me. Even as I stand here, looking at you, your soul is getting harder and harder to see. It’s like my Hunter abilities are slowly being sucked from me. Tomorrow I could wake up and I will be a bog standard Wolf.”

“You really think there is something at your old house?”

“I don’t know, it’s worth a try.”

She pouts and slowly nods her head. “I will come with you.”

“Then let’s go. I have a car parked up the road.”

As Madison climbs into the passenger seat, I see how she is rubbing her neck again. “Still sore?”

“It comes and goes.” She shrugs like it had just become a part of her daily life, but it bothered me. I had even felt her neck to make sure nothing had been injected under her skin.

“Blair said that once she lost her abilities, she noticed changes.” Madison tells me. Blair seemed to talk more freely to her just like I expected. They shared something in common.

“I haven’t been back here for a while and it looks like Rogues might have moved in. I’m pretty certain that we are being watched.”

“What do we do?”

“You don’t do anything.” I reach in the backseat for my shotgun. “You stay here. You lock the doors behind me. You do not open them until I come back.”

“What if….?”

“No what if’s. You do exactly what I say. Understand?”

She nods as I quietly exit the car. I watch her press the locks down and something slams into me, sending me to the ground. My gun slides across the road away from me, just in time to see another Rogue moving towards me.

Blood from a recent kill coated its face. It drops down on to all fours, picking up speed as I reach for the gun in my belt. A bang makes my ears ring and I watch the Rogue drop to the ground.

I turn to see a wide eyed Madison, poking one of my guns through the small gap in the window, both hands clasped around it

The first Rogue attacks me from the side. Claws sinking into my shoulder before hurling me through the air.

As I land on my stomach, the air is knocked from my lungs. Screams come from the direction of my car. Rolling over, I see the Rogue desperately trying to get to my mate as he forces the window down.
