The Alpha’s Contract



"A brave challenge for you Hunter, if only you hadn't had any help. It would have made my day to see your body on the rocks at the bottom of the cliff. I guess this way, it is...final."

The wall moves a little more, pressing into my back. Indy's grip on me tightens.

"I will ask you again, little girl. Where is that other brat?"

I remove my hand from her mouth and she shouts "I don't know."

"Do you think I'm stupid? My magic doesn't affect you. The music doesn't affect you. That means you are still able to link him. Where the hell is he?"

Indy always said it was potions. The tunnel beneath her house was concealed with one, the blue liquid to take our scents away. As I stare at her in the darkness, I realise that it is her Witch half that is protecting her from Thalia's spells, not potions. She could be our chance at getting out of here.

Is that why Xavi had a problem with her? Did he see her potential?

I couldn't speak to Indy without Thalia hearing.

I had two options, mark her, but then Madison and I could never be together again and it would be the same for Silas and Indy. The other option is a blood tie, but even that can bring on a whole load of shit, we wouldn't be able to do anything with our mates not until it was broken but at least it could be broken.

I stare at Indy. It was shit that we could deal with later if it meant we got to live.

Tugging Indy to her feet, I pull her in against me, pressing my lips close to her ear and dropping my voice to barely a whisper. "I need you to trust me."

"We are about to die!" She whispers back

*We have to try. I have a daughter. I have already missed years of her life. I am not missing the rest for this bitch. I have a mate that I need to get back to. And you need to get to Silas.*

"Isn't this romantic!" Thalia chuckles. "A Hunter and a useless half-breed. Silas is so much better off without you. I'm sure when I tell him what happened, he won't even be bothered. He hasn't been interested in you for the last few years. He just sees you as a weak little girl."

I feel Indy tense up. "Your mate, she will die."

*I haven't marked her yet," I whisper. I like Madison but I still hadn't marked her. I know what she is, and I think that is the one thing that is still holding me back. Generational issues that I was struggling to break from. "A blood tie can be severed."

"Stop whisperong!" Thalia screeches

The walls move a little more, "Okay." She bites into her hand as I tear a chunk of flesh out of my own. We press the open wounds together, hoping it would be enough to connect us.

"What are you doing?" Thalia demands

She may be able to see through the visibility of her spell but I knew she couldn't see everything with the way we were standing.

*How long?" Indy whispers

"I don't know." We keep our hands locked together, allowing our blood to combine though it would start to heal if we weren't quick enough.

"At least you will die together," Thalia mutters happily, oblivious to our plan.

One of these walls had to be fake. We had walked into another dead end and the wall behind us appeared from

nowhere. But we had moved around since then, trying to find a way out. It was impossible to detect the false wall. "It's not working." Indy whispers.

"Yes, it is." I could see a piece of her soul breaking off and latching itself onto mine. Mine did the same. Tying us together. 'Can you hear me?' I link her

'Yes,' she whispers in shock

'I need you to focus.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

'I can't do anything.' She whispers back through the link.

'Every Witch has a gift. What is it?"

'I don't know. I don't even know what I'm doing!" The walls move a little more. 'Brax, I can't.'

You have a choice to make.' I tell her, 'Live or kill us both!"
