The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0432

Opening and closing my jaw, it clicked a few times, but it wasn't broken, just painful. "Don't tell lies." He growls at me

"You think hitting me is going to get me to say anything!" I snarl back at him. "You know nothing about me. And if we were really mates, you would be disgusted with yourself for doing that."

"You are not making it easy for me to love you right now." He growls at me.

"Love?" I snort "Is this when your Lycan shows itself? When you don't get your own way?" I pull against the chains but now they were heavy against my wrists. "You've been saying that your Witch side is stronger, but I'm starting to think that's wrong. You use your Witch abilities to try and shut down your Lycan side. But it's not working anymore. It angers you that you can't win me over and I'm starting to understand why!"

"Why?"

"Going to beat it out of me?" I sneer at him.

He doesn't answer me and sits back on the chair by the door. Kicking his boots off and settling his feet on the coffee table. His eyes are on me. He wanted to ask, but now he was unsure. Up until this point, he was the one with information. I wonder how he will feel to know that I'm a Hunter. Especially as he punished Maddie for being with one.

I stare back at him. Every so often the corners of his lips would turn up, like he was enjoying the silence, but then they would disappear when I didn't speak.

Eventually, he moves, sitting himself in front of me. "You have a secret."

"Only from you. I guess that's not really a secret, just information that you are missing." "Tell me."

"No."

"Tell me now." He demands and I shake my head at him. "Is it about you or the pack?"

I shrug my shoulders. He really hated not knowing something, this could really work in my favour.

He laughs and drags a hand through his hair. "You are so fucking frustrating."

"It's a two way street." I mutter. "You are not giving me anything. So I don't need to give you anything in return."

"I'm starting to see why you haven't met a mate until now." He smiles to himself

I don't answer, I didn't need another slap.

"Tell me this secret and I will tell you about Sam."

I press my lips together and shake my head and the closer he gets, the more I realise how much I want to kill him. To gut him and watch everything fall out while he was still alive.

Where the fuck did that come from?

He taps his fingers on his knee, weighing up the decisions. "Okay, you have one question. I will swear to be truthful and in return, you have to tell me your secret."

"Three questions." I mutter. This could very well get me killed.

"Two." He replies

"Three."

"Fine. Three." He finally agrees

"Who do you want that's in Black Shadow?"

"Sam."

I roll my eyes at him, "Now who is lying."

"It's not a lie."

"Why did you want Blair to lead you down here?"

"I didn't."

I stare at him. He didn't let Blair lead him to Black Shadow. Which means Samara did. When Dane and I were talking last night, he told me that Brax had confirmed Samara was telling the truth about not knowing what Cooper wanted. But she would be telling the truth if it was her plan, she wouldn't necessarily know what Cooper was up to.

"Final question." He muses

"I'm thinking." How was I going to let Dane know before he let Samara out of the dungeon? "You attacked Maddie." He seems surprised by my statement. "Because she was with a Hunter."

"That's not a question."

"But that was your doing. The same as taking away your sister's abilities. But you said it was because Samara kept touching your stuff. But it was more. You love her because she is family but she is a danger to you." I watched the colour drain from his face as he knew I had figured it out. "But none of this is your plan, it is all hers. You followed her down here, not Blair. Maddie was just an unfortunate bonus for you."

"The lack of Samara's abilities means she could hide herself better. All the questions she is being asked are about you, not about her. She's the one behind all this."

Tlook up at him and everything goes dark.
