The Alpha’s Contract
Chapter 0124

The Wolves haven't moved an inch but the Lycans creep closer. Prepared for battle.

'I'm ready when you are.' Nyx mutters

I take a deep breath as the Lycans edge a little closer. If this doesn't work, we were screwed.

'Drop the block.'

My head is quickly filled with mutterings. Words of the Lycans all blurring together to make a constant hum.

"I AM YOUR ALPHA. BRING CASSANDRA AND TREY TO ME!" I demand. I'm almost surprised by my own tone as it becomes more authoritative.

The Lycans freeze. I see how they all look at one another. They had likely been told something else about me. Something far from the truth, but if they were feeling the same thing that Jess had felt, they wouldn't be able to refuse.

"NO!! Cassandra screams out. "You don't have that power. You are no one. Trey, tell them!" Her hands ball into fists at her side. She was so used to getting her own way and now she had hundreds of Lycans turning their attention to her and not in a good way. I could see from her eyes that this was something she never saw coming.

'Stupid bitch!' Nyx murmurs

Screams break through the air. Cassandra's shrill voice causes a lot of the Wolves and Lycans to cover their ears. She starts backing away, yet there was nowhere for her to go. Lycan's lined the trees behind her. A wall of Wolves stood in front of her.

"TREY! TREY! Help me!" A single black Lycan backs away into the trees as large claws grab on to Cassandra. No longer caring about her screams

'Bring him to me!' I snap through the link to all of them. Several of them take off running after Trey.

Looking over to Dane, I see him smiling at me. He had been waiting for this. Waiting for me to become who I am supposed to be.

The Lycans start to attack one another, desperate to be the one to bring the screaming bitch to me. They probably thought that I would spare their lives for their compliance. I had no intention of doing that. I didn't want to be an Alpha of a pack that would betray their own. I didn't want those who so easily believed the words of Trey and Cassandra.

Jess's hand is still in mine and I smile at her. She was young and that was Cassandra's downfall. She had chosen to change a girl who was similar to myself. A girl who wasn't interested in being anything more than who she is.

The Wolves part to let two Lycans drag Cassandra to me.

Dane joins me and Jess and slips his hand into mine as he kisses my cheek. He turns his attention to Cassandra. "Well Cassandra, how do you feel?"

"Bastard. You have no idea. Trey will seek revenge if you lay a single hand on me!" She turns her attention to Jess. "And you, you are a stupid, stupid girl! I should have left you to die!"

I rip my hand from Danes, just as claws appear at the tips of my fingers. Plunging them into her stomach, the Lycans let go of her. She screams, her hands lock around my arm, keeping me from retracting my claws.

"You destroyed me!" I mutter to her. "You made me believe you were someone special and then you ruined me and now, I'm going to ruin you!" I pull my hand from Jess's and let the claws appear.

Slowly piercing her skin, I let my claws sink into her kidneys before ripping them across her stomach.

I hated her, she took everything from me!

Turning to look at Dane, I see the evil glint in his eye. "Kill them all." I whisper

The two Lycans that had dragged Cassandra to me, back up, only to be attacked by Roan and several others.

All hell breaks out as Dane gives the order to attack.

Blood creeps out of the corner of Cassandra's lips. Her eyes are wide in fear as they remain on me. I wanted to see the blood pour from her, just like she had made it pour from my parents. "You deserve this and so much more." I whisper as my claws retract from her flesh.

She drops to her knees as tears fall from her eyes. It was the first time that I had seen her weep for anything.

"You are a monster!" She croaks out.

"I am what you made me!"

My claws plunge into her chest, curling around her heart as she chokes. With a tug, I rip it free from her chest, holding it in my hand as it continued to beat for a moment.

Her body sways before hitting the ground and when I look up, I see Roan staring at me. His expression, unreadable.
