The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0254

Raven

“Maybe I can talk some sense into him.” I mutter to Midnight.

‘I don’t think it will work. Aspen is flat out ignoring me.’

“You can link him?” I ask surprised. She hadn't said anything.

‘Only when he arrived in the pack. It’s like it’s temporarily unlocked our ability to connect. But I’m not getting anything from him.’ She sighs. ‘Though being face to face might force him to speak to us.’

It had been two days since they had dragged him here. Damien and Dane took it in turns to interrogate him, but neither of them could get anything from him. Damien said it was like getting blood from a stone. And the only reason they hadn’t tortured him for information was because I had asked them not too.

A piece of me really hoped the kind brother that I love is in there somewhere, locked away by his own grief for Jess. I wondered if he had ever really gotten over it.

I had been begging to speak to him, to let me have just a couple of minutes with him. But both my brother and my mate said no.

“They won’t let me.” I tell Midnight. “There is just no way Damien or Dane are going to let me go down there.”

‘They are not the only ones in charge.’

“Midnight?!” I was so shocked by her response. She was usually the one that wanted to follow all the rules and obey our Alpha. But her itchiness to see her twin was eating away at her.

“Talking to your Wolf again?” Damien makes me jump as he makes his way through the open door of our bedroom.

I really need to be more aware when I’m talking to Midnight.

“Yes. She’s my Wolf.”

He steps up behind me, bringing his arms around my waist as he buries his face against my neck. His warm breath fans over my skin as he speaks, igniting every inch of me. “You do realise that I know you’re trying to find a way to go and see Jenson.”

I feel my cheeks flame.

“We are already holding off torturing him because you requested it. I know you think your brother is in there somewhere, but….”

“But what?”

“He made his choice, Raven. He made a choice to pair up with someone instead of dealing with his grief.”

“You think he made a mistake? Claiming Blair.”

“I think he was in over his head and Blair offered him something. Something that he couldn’t say no to. And I know you think that too.”

“Maybe I can get to the bottom of it. Maybe seeing me will help. We are twins, we have twin Wolves. He can’t ignore me.”

“I will speak to Dane.”

“Thank you, that’s all I’m asking.”

“If he approves, you don’t go alone. I mean it Raven.”

“I won’t be alone. I have Midnight.”

“What is it with you two?”

I cock a brow at him, not following.

“Neah used the same phrase. But mentioned her Lycan.”

“Because it’s true.” I step out of his hold and turn to face him. “Have you spoken to Mallory?”

An immediate anger washes over his face.

“I know you’re mad, Damien. But she acted on Neah’s orders. You can’t stay mad at her for that.”

“She could have got herself killed.”

They hadn’t spoken since their argument the other night. But he wasn’t really mad at her for following Neah’s orders. It was the mate secret. He wanted to know so that he could verify them. Though it didn’t matter, from what I heard, the guy had already claimed her. And it was someone from our pack so it couldn’t be that bad anyway.

“Should I be jealous that you are so angry about her having a mate?” I wasn’t because I knew he was just worried about his best friend.
