The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0435

My eyes lock on Klaus, he is furiously shaking his head at me while watching Cooper. "She's dangerous." He dodges out of the way as Cooper tries to grab him. “Everyone is safe if you keep her in the dungeons. Don't let her out."

'What the fuck does that mean?' Aero demands as we watch Klaus dodge Cooper again.

I pull on the gates, dragging them open and squeezing myself through the small gap just as Cooper takes a blade from his jeans and dives at Klaus again.

"Klaus." Neah whispers, her voice cracking as his name tumbles from her lips.

I look up to see the blade sticking out of Klaus's chest. His shirt steadily grows red as blood oozes from the wound. He stumbles back only for Cooper to grab him and hold him upright.

"You bastard!" I roar. My eyes shift from him to Klaus. The colour was quickly fading from his skin.

Cooper just frowns at me, "Look what you made me do!" He continues to hold Klaus upright. "You made me kill my mate. You made me mateless. You took him away from me. You will pay for that."

I just stare at him. How could he blame me when he had just stabbed Klaus?

'Klaus is right. This guy is unhinged.' Aero scoffs

Neah pushes past me. I grab her hand, stopping her from going anywhere. I didn't need him stabbing her too. Her blue eyes find mine and I shake my head.

'He's killed Klaus' She whispers through the link. I could see she was fighting the tears and I was having to use all of my strength to stop her throwing herself forward.

'Look at the angle of the blade. It should have missed Klaus's heart.' I mutter even though Klaus had stopped moving and his head hangs low. 'There is still a chance.' At least I hope there is.

Cooper combs his fingers through Klaus's long dark hair. Begging him to open his eyes. "I can fix this Klaus. You just need to open your eyes." He taps Klaus's cheek, pleading with him.

"You stabbed him you idiot!"

“Because he shouldn't have done that. He shouldn't have listened to you. He shouldn't have been awake." Cooper's eyes flick up to me and growls. "I will make sure she gets out and rips your pack apart."

"No you won't." Neah growls back at him. “I am your Alpha and you will do what you are told. You will listen and you will follow my orders. Look at me!"

"What are you doing to me?!" Cooper demands as his wide eyes shift to Neah

"Reminding you of your place." Neah snaps. "Let go of Klaus." She orders

Cooper trembles as he tries to fight the order, but his body is forced to lower Klaus to the ground whether he wanted to or not. "I am a Witch. You can't do this!"

"No, you are part Witch!" Neah

growls back at him. "I have been wondering why I couldn't get through to your Lycan half and now see that's obvious. You need to be at your weakest. You need to be vulnerable. When your Witch half is failing, your Lycan thrives, no longer blocked by a stupid spell Her eyes are darkening as she stares at him. It had been a while since I had seen Nyx so close to the surface.

"Let go of him." Neah demands.

Cooper's fingers retreat from Klaus, leaving scratches across his arm, "You bitch!" He growls, but forces himself to straighten up when out of the corner of my eye, I see Klaus, ripping the blade out of his own chest and slicing it straight across Cooper's abdomen.

Cooper frantically grabs at his wound, thick@rimson blood spilling freely over his hands as Klaus faces him. "I will never be your mate even if you were the last man on Earth: But want to be the last thing you see" He takes the blade and plunges it through Cooper's left eye and forces it as deep as it will go.

With a smile, Klaus's legs buckle underneath him, forcing him to the ground while Cooper's body falls in the opposite direction. Hitting the ground with a dull, heavy thud.
