Contract Beta Chapter 48
Eric-Gathering around the dragon outside, everyone was trying to wrap their heads around there being a dragon here. I, on the other hand, was still reeling about everything that has happened recently. The dragon was one thing, but to find out that your mate has been your mate for centuries, was a lot to process.It wasn’t that I didn’t believe her, it was just a lot to take in all at once. I figured that her being a part witch would be that she knew a few spells or something, not some powerful high priestess or whatever they were called. I had watched her handle the dragon effortlessly, not to mention how she took on her old pack.It had been mind-blowing, to say the least. Looking over at her, as she talked with her dragon in the backyard of the packhouse, I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to think. I mean, she had a pet dragon for crying out loud.“Are you okay?” Brook’s gentle voice filled my head as she stepped next to me.Taking my gaze off Leilani and her dragon, I looked over

Leilani-After I finished talking, I directed my attention to Cordelia, wanting her to answer the question I had asked before telling everyone what had happened. From the first moment I met her, I already didn’t trust her. Now I was almost sure something was going on with her.I asked the question again, yet she still didn’t answer. If we were going to find a way to break this curse, I wasn’t sure it was a good idea that Cordelia was here. Actually, I wasn’t sure it was a good idea that any of the witches were here.“I want them all gone.” I told Eric, speaking directly into his mind through our link.“Are you sure that is a good idea? We could probably use their help.” Eric responded.“I’m not sure what kind of help they could give us. Plus, I don’t trust them one bit. When I woke up, you were still stuck there. I had asked them to get you out of there, but everyone claimed they didn’t know how. I still don’t know how I did it, but thankfully I knew the words needed to get you to wak

Leilani- Tate and Eric showed up as we were all laughing about my cooking abilities or lack thereof. Instead of gathering in the living room, we sat around the table in the dining room, so Brook could continue to cook. I wanted to hear more about my past, but now everyone was here, it was time to get down talking about what was really going on. Tate told Brook that their daughter, who I assumed was Bailey, was asleep. At first, I thought they just left their daughter alone, but then he mentioned a babysitter, but I didn’t catch her name. I was willing to let them continue to talk about their daughter since it was nice seeing how at ease, they were with each other. Catching a glimpse at Eric, who was sitting next to me at the table, I found he was looking at me with a strange look on his face. It made me feel slightly uncomfortable, but I let it go when Tate turned his attention to me. “So let me get this right, both of your parents were werewolves, but because of a curse placed on

Leilani-When Brook hung up the phone, I had expected it would take a while for her uncle to get here. The last thing I expected was for him to appear directly behind her before she placed her phone back in her pocket. Looking around the room, no one seemed surprised by this, not even Archer.“Uh, how did you do that?” I asked, completely shocked by him just appearing out of thin air.Jarod’s gaze moved over me as if he were sizing me up, and I was starting to hate that everyone was looking at me like that. A smile formed on his lips, just before he disappeared once more. Startled, I jumped in my seat slightly, nearly knocking my chair over.“You mean this?” I heard a man ask from behind me.Quickly turning in my seat, I looked up to find Jarod was now standing behind me. When Archer had done it earlier, while we were still on the roof, it hadn’t surprised me nearly to this point. I guess with Archer I kind of expected the impossible from him.“Yes, that.” I said, trying to calm mysel

Eric- Knowing there was no way I could fall asleep, I left Leilani alone in bed. Quietly exiting the room, I gently shut the door. With everything going on, I hadn’t even thought about how tired she must be. Brook was right though, I felt like I had enough energy to spare. Returning to the dining room, I found everyone still cleaning up the mess. Pitching in where I could, we quickly finished cleaning the table and getting the dishes loaded up in the dishwasher. Everyone except Archer wanted to go see Bailey, so I showed Archer the other room he could stay in. After telling him to make himself at home, I left to follow everyone to Tate and Brook’s place. Thankfully I caught up with them before Jason met his granddaughter because I wanted to be there when he did. “Thank you for staying with her.” Brook was telling the babysitter at the door when I arrived. “It really is no problem, she is absolutely adorable and a joy to be around. Feel free to let me know anytime you need someone
Contract Beta Chapter 53
Eric-On the way to see the pack doctor, I started to worry about my parents. Mostly I wondered why I hadn’t paid closer attention to the fact that something was seriously wrong with them. I had just assumed that they were turning into lousy parents due to not getting things their way.When we reached the medical wing of the packhouse, I was thankful to run right into Kate as she came out of another room. She gave me her usual friendly smile as she walked towards us. Meeting halfway, I quickly explained what was going on and what Archer had mentioned about what was possibly wrong with them.“Oh, that isn’t good at all.” Kate showed concern as she looked at my parents.So far, my parents had both seemed to comply with getting them here, until suddenly my father just walked away without a word. I attempted to stop him, but Kate grabbed my arm. When I looked at her, she had her attention on my mother.“Your mother is still here, if they have the same thing going on with them, I can exami

Eric-“What is it?” Tate asked, moving forward to stand in front of Kate.“There are high levels of venom in her system, which means she was either recently bit or had multiple bites. With a physical examination, I will be able to find out for sure. That isn’t the bad news though, that is the good news.” Kate stopped talking, so I immediately thought she was done with her explanation.“How is that good news?” I demanded, moving forward to stand next to Tate and leave my mother in Brook’s care.“It is good news because that means I know what is wrong and I also know how to treat it. Now before I tell you the bad news, I would like to suggest you take a seat.” Kate motioned to the chairs in the room with her hand.There was no way I was budging, and it didn’t seem as if Tate had any plans to do so either. I for one didn’t care what the bad news was, the last thing I felt like doing was sitting. I felt as if I was the one about to go crazy with waiting for her to spit it out.“Okay, have

Leilani-I wasn’t sure how long I sat there holding him. All I knew was the sun was starting to go down and my right leg was falling asleep. It wasn’t that I minded though since I was going to do whatever I had to as long as it helped Eric.“You didn’t have to come out here.” Eric spoke.This had been the first time he had talked since I had arrived. He still sounded upset, although he seemed to have stopped crying. His voice was hoarse and cracked a bit, which was expected with how long he has been like this.“I wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else.” I told him honestly.Continuing to run my fingers through his hair, I didn’t feel the need to speak. If he wanted to tell me what was wrong, then I would listen, but I wasn’t going to pry. It was hard not to ask what had hurt him to this degree.His lack of speaking made me think he still wasn’t ready, which was okay. Even though my leg was starting to hurt, I had no problem staying here. Thinking that maybe if I just readjusted myse
