The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 564

Klaus

Brax stays on the phone for a few more minutes, giving me directions to White Cliffs. He warns me that the place is invisible to the eye. When I question him about how he can see it, he tells me he paid a Witch for a potion. The comment surprises me, but then again, I knew Brax would do what he wanted.

I hear a female in the background, telling Brax to warn me about the river.

“I assume you heard that.” He mutters through the phone.

“Yes. I will be there as soon as I can.”

Whistling, a white Wolf named Xavi comes running out of the nearby trees. He jumps into the back of the van. His amber eyes fixate on me as he sits.

“It looks like we are going to find the Witch that did this to you.” I murmur

‘Are you sure?’ He links me

“More than sure. It seems like our fates were intertwined long ago. The Witch that did this to you is causing problems back home with my family and I have just learned of her location. It’s time to break the curse she put on you.”

I glance down at my wrist, if it wasn’t for Xavi marking me, he wouldn’t be able to talk to me. He was cursed to spend his life in Wolf form, to never have interaction with anyone ever again, until I came along. His fated mate.

He was the last thing I was expecting to find.

Leaving Black Shadow had been incredibly hard, though I refused to admit it to anyone so I just drove until I was almost out of fuel.

‘Mate,’ was his last word before his eyelids closed and he sank deeper into my bed. It was where he remained for two solid days. Now and again, I would see slivers of his stunning amber eyes, but never for long.

We had been together ever since. He even helped me pick out this van.

I wasn’t sure if it was because we were now bonded, but he seemed to be growing a little stronger as each day passed. I did consider that maybe the bond between us was stronger than the curse the Witch put on him. Though no matter what he tried, he couldn’t shift back.

Climbing in the van, I pull the door shut and settle on the bed. Xavi jumps up next to me, resting his large head on my chest, his amber eyes settling on mine.

‘How did they find her?’ He asks through mindlink. ‘I’ve been looking for years.’

“From what it sounds like, Danes' twin found Dane. Thalia has somehow got the twin under a spell and Brax, remember how I told you about him? He happens to be in White Cliffs where Thalia is hiding. We will find out more when we see them. It’s only a day's drive.” I didn’t know what had happened or what I had missed, though it seems like the drama never stopped after Cooper.
