Chapter 40 Contract

~ Drago's P.O.V. ~

RED. That's all I could see when my eyes landed on that bastard. I could feel my wolf pushing to break through the surface. I was tempted to let him break out when I felt that soft little hand squeeze mine reassuringly. Part of me felt guilty I should be the one reassuring her not the other way around. I broke my gaze on him to look down at my precious mate. I smirked at the determined look on her face. I pulled her to me by her waist and slowly leaned down. She smirked understanding as she reached up to me on her tiptoes. Our lips locked in a passionate display. We chuckled slightly as we could hear a small growl, almost as if it came from a jealous puppy. I pulled away and saw both alpha's had not been amused by our little display. Although I was pretty sure Pops was just faking it for the sake of diplomacy.

Danny and...Logan, Goddess I hate saying his name, walked inside before us. Pops entered the Alpha's office first. Logan stood next to Danny's chair and Ali and I stood behind Pops who sat across from Alpha Danny. Danny took a deep breath before speaking, this told me he was trying to keep his cool. He locked eyes with Alpha Elric as if that would impress the King of the wolves "Alpha I'm glad we could meet today. As you know Evangeline is contracted to marry Logan, therefore she needs to come back to the pack and fulfill her duties." he said calmly. I looked over at Ali when he said that name. She stayed calm but I knew she was starting to feel sick again. Pops cleared his throat getting everyone's attention. He opened his briefcase and pulled out a packet of papers with a highlighted area "As you can see in the contract that your parents, as well my spouse at the time and I; it clearly states in section 29. 8 that if either party meats their mate before the age of 18 that the contract would be void. From my knowledge of my daughter's birth, she has only just turned 17. Therefore we have not broken the contract in any way." Danny nodded understanding the clause as he himself had just found his true mate. It seemed as though he thought this was the end of the meeting when my father stood up and glared at Logan. You could almost swear the kid had pissed himself. He turned to look at Danny "Now it's my turn to discuss a grievance that your brother caused to the princess." He growled "Wait grievance was the wrong word. I meant to say RAPE. Logan Harding of Craven pack you are accused of raping my daughter the princess, what do you say to this." he boomed. Logan flinched back and looked at his brother for help.

I was puzzled at Danny's shocked face as if he didn't expect this from his baby brother. Logan shook his head adamantly "That's not what happened she wanted to do it because she was cheating on me with him!" he yelled pointing at me. I growled when Ali squeezed my hand again. How did she look so calm? She gently let go of my hand and walked towards Danny "Danny you have always been like a big brother to me, you know that I have the ability to see things that no one else does. You saw me as I landed from the bedroom window. I know you saw the bruise and smelt the blood on my body. I know he is your little brother and you raised him, I know you love him. Even so, I need to show you something." she said gently then placed her hand on his cheek and closed her eyes. Danny closed his eyes and after a few seconds, I could see a tear running down his cheek.

Danny opened his eyes and took a shaky breath "Alpha Elric it seems that we have things to discuss." he growled as he turned to look at his brother. I walked up to Ali and whispered in her ear "Go get your things while we finish up here." I told her. She nodded and left the room.

~ Ali's P.O.V.~

I calmly left the office and began to make my way up to that room when I could hear a couple of she-wolves talking around the corner "Oh my Goddess did you hear that Eva was going to be here today?" exclaimed one voice. I stopped in my tracks and couldn't help myself from listening to them "I know that bitch really thinks she can strut about after what she did? She is so disgusting I mean what kind of she-wolf leaves their mate for their practical brother like eww!" exclaimed the other in disgust. I could hear them giggling "I know she's so power-hungry. Poor Logan just because he wasn't next in line to be Alpha. He deserves so much better." the girl sneered. I felt my heart sink how could they believe those lies about me? I felt a heavy weight on my heart when I heard heeled footsteps coming down the hallway "Bite your tongues now! how dare you speak that way about a princess or even Eva like that. She saved many of this pack you owe her at least the curtesy of listening to her side of the story." the familiar voice commanded. I knew that voice. It was Melly. I put on my best poker face as I turned the corner "Don't worry Melly it seems they have made up their mind, I'm a power-hungry slut who seduced her brother." I stated as I rolled my eyes. I walked past the covering girls and past Melly "Don't worry I just need to get a few of my things, promise not to go crazy bitch, and seduce more men on my way." I said sarcastically. I walked up the stairs and stopped in front of the door taking a deep breath.
