The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 572

“We need to make a move.” I mutter, looking through the tiny peephole in the boarded up windows.

Almost a whole day had passed since Klaus arrived and we were still hiding inside Indy’s home. Waiting and watching.

“I know that’s what you are used to doing.” Klaus mutters, “I think it would be a mistake. We don’t even have a plan in place other than to kill her.” I see him nod at the white Wolf. “I will ask. Indy, are there any white Wolves here in White Cliffs?”

“One.”

“Let me guess.” I tut. “One of Thalia's men?”

“No. Me. But if you are thinking of doing what I think you are going to do, don’t bother. I’m small. If Xavi goes out there and Thalia sees him, she will know without a doubt that it isn’t me. Plus he can’t hide his balls.” She smiles and from the corner of my eye, I see Orion silently laughing.

“I was thinking more about the eyes, but you are right, you can’t miss those.”

I’m met with a snarl from the Wolf and roll my eyes at him.

“He doesn’t need to go far.” Klaus tells her, “He wants to go straight across from here and up into the tower on the opposite site of the courtyard. No one seems to go there. He said he can keep watch and keep me updated.”

The colour drains from her face. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“Why?” Klaus presses

Indy scowls at Orion, “I know, I know.”

“By your reaction, I’m assuming there is a reason no one goes up there?” I ask

“There is one person that goes up there. Serkan. It’s where…” Her eyes close, “It’s where his food is kept. It’s how Orion lost his tongue.” She casts her eyes in his direction. “Do you want me to tell them?”

I nod in agreement. I like meat, but to eat a Human, even my stomach churns at that.

“Are they still there?” Klaus frowns. “Are there still people in that tower?”

She hikes her shoulders up around her chin, “I don’t think so. We have watched, no one comes, no one goes. I guess they might have been removed when we were in the tunnel. Do you see how much is wrong with this place? You have seen the dead, the rotting corpses that line the streets. You know what she is like.” She sighs as her golden eyes settle on Klaus. “You know and you haven’t even met her.”

“We are here to help.” Klaus offers her a smile.

“I hope you can, because this is not a way for us to live anymore. Knowing everything and yet watching the others carry on in some sort of oblivious state, unable to escape. I want to live. I want to see Silas again. I want to be with the man that is mine. I want Thalia to suffer.”

“That can be arranged. Where is that potion you showed me?”

Her eyebrows disappear under her white hair. “The one to hide your scent?”
