2024-10-29 19:42:56I wanted to thank you all for your support over these months. I haven't decided if I am going to do another book in the Contract series, but I will be working on other books that I hope you all love. I have another book called Alpha Ryker that I will be focusing on this summer.
It will be different than my typical stuff, but I am excited to write it. If you enjoy apocalyptic romance, I hope you will check out Alpha Ryker. Just like all my werewolf romance books, I try to bring a twist to them to make them different from the typical stories. The book has already started, and I will be focusing on that book next.
Thank you again for all of your support. I would love to hear what you think of this book, so I may improve my writing.
Best wishes, Raelyn Karson

Contract Beta Prologue
Eric-“Well? What did they say?” I asked Brook before the door even closed behind her.From the moment I met Brook, I instantly liked her. She was like the little sister I always dreamed of having. When I found out my brother was mated to her, a part of me had been a little jealous.It wasn’t that I wasn’t happy for Tate, I was, but he was already on his second mate, while I have yet to find my first mate. I admit that there had also been a part of me that wished Brook had been for me. She was just too good for my brother.At least too good for him at the time. Now that he was back to his old self, they were perfect together. He was still the overbearing prick, but she was more than able to put him in his place. It was always funny to see my brother, the Alpha, be taken down a couple of notches by his mate.“They approved it!” Brook beam, her eyes filled with excitement and tears.“I knew they would.
Contract Beta Chapter 1
Leilani- This was just great. The one time I asked for help, I get asked a million questions. I thought that by contacting these people, they would understand my situation. I didn’t have time to be sitting here ‘chatting’ with a computer screen when I didn’t even know if I was talking to someone real or a computer program. WL0033: Look, if you aren’t going to help me, then I will figure it out myself. I shouldn’t have expected you to be able to help me. BrooklynB: I can help, I just need to know if you are real. WL0033: How do I even know if you are real? This could be a trap for all I know. I stared at the computer as three little dots kept dancing around in a little bubble, signaling that the other person was typing. If I got caught in here, my ass was grass. The last thing I wanted was to spend another night in the basement, sleeping with whatever the hell was crawling around down there. It wouldn’t be the first time I have been locked down there, but

Eric-“What is up?” I asked Brook after she asked me to come to see her in Tate’s office.“I need you to be in Blackwater, Colorado by tomorrow night.” Brook said, getting straight to the point.I tried not to groan. It has been a little over two months and we haven’t been successful with helping anyone. Most that contacted the website had been just a waste of time. Just teens messing around and sending me on a wild hunt.The few that did need help, it was for help with things that weren’t related to the program. It was either they needed help with money, or they needed a job, or help with their homework. I was pretty sure there were some out there that needed help, but I was rethinking how to find them.I have scouted a few packs but didn’t come across anyone needing help. This was turning out to be a lot more difficult than either Brook or I have realized. Even she had thought about shutting the pro

Leilani-My head was spinning when I finally came to. Sitting up, I rubbed the spot on my head that hit the bed. When I pulled my hand away, it was covered in a little bit of fresh blood, as well as flakes of dry blood. Great.Looking around, I found myself in the basement. It was dark and smelled like mold. With how nice the rest of the house was, one would think they would take better care of the basement. From the looks of it, it looks as if the foundation was starting to crumble.I didn’t know much about houses, but from the looks of things, I gave it another year maybe before the foundation gave out. Hopefully, I wouldn’t be here to see it. That was if I could find a way out of here.I knew the only exit was locked tight with a couple of deadbolts. Three was a small window on the far side of the room, but it was too small for me to squeeze through. At least it looked too small from this angle.Standing from the dirty basement floor

Eric-These fuckers were tough, I thought as I fended off another wolf that tried to latch onto me. I may have had my doubts at first, but I now realized this girl was in more danger than I thought. I am just glad I was prepared.I was also glad we didn’t find her in the same condition Brook had been in when Tate had found her. The scent of the female was sending my mind into a massive cluster fuck. It was hard to focus on the three wolves I was dealing with right now.“You good?” Tate’s voice filled my head.Even if I was distracted by the female’s scent, these wolves were hardly a match for me. The issue I was having was that my wolf was screaming in my head, it was so loud that it was hard to understand what he was saying. Not to mention, I felt as if I was on the verge of getting a boner for some reason.“They fight like children.” I told him, using our link to speak to him.“Then finish it
Contract Beta Chapter 5
Leilani-I have heard the expression, take your breath away, except I never knew what it meant until now. Eric had to be a god or something. Could a man even be classified as beautiful? If so, the word beautiful still didn’t do him justice.His eyes almost looked grey from the reflection of the moon. They were a pale blue though, that I imagined looked much like an ice glacier that was reflecting water. Maybe the grey was from the way his eyes appeared to glisten under the moon.Either way, I found myself drawn to him in a way I couldn’t understand. It wasn’t that I hadn’t been looking at him earlier, but I hadn’t really been seeing him. My head was pounding so bad that it was hard to focus on anything.Up close, I couldn’t help but look now. Without my wolf, I couldn’t find my mate, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t drawn to this man in a way that I felt pleasure just by looking at him. I have found men a

Leilani-Sometime during the ride, I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was lying across the seat, with my head on Eric’s lap. Sitting up abruptly, I had a rush of dizziness run over me.“We are almost there.” Eric’s soothing voice proclaimed.I decided to ignore the fact that I had just woken up on Eric’s lap by not mentioning it. If he wasn’t saying anything about it, either was I. Looking out the window again, I realized the sun was starting to peek over the mountains.If there was one thing I loved about living in Colorado, was the mountains. Not only did the air seem fresh, but the views were remarkable. When we passed a gate, I moved a little closer to Eric, so I could peer out the windshield.Tate drove us through the streets, occasionally stopping to let a child that was playing run to catch the ball that got away from them. They all looked so happy and full of laughter. I couldn’t help but envy them as

Leilani-For the life of me, I couldn’t fathom why I reached out to accept his hand. I expected him to let it go when I got out of the vehicle, but he held on as he guided me toward the building. Part of me wanted to pull my hand away, while the other wanted to hold on.There was something about his touch that soothed me, one in which I didn’t understand. It was both comforting and there was something else that I couldn’t put my finger on. Why was it that when he was touching me, I felt all my worries fade away?We reached a door that had the number one on it, in a bold black font. It was simple which made me feel a little better about the place. The mansion was huge and extravagant, yet this place seemed much plainer, like me.Eric opened the door and allowed me to go inside first. That was also when he released my hand. My hand which had once been warmed by his touch suddenly felt cold.When they say never to judge a book by its

Contract Beta Epilogue
Brooklyn- I couldn’t believe it. It has been five years since that fateful night with Mavis. Nearly six since when I first met my mate, Tate. Looking back on everything that has happened over the years, I couldn’t be more grateful for how far we have all come. When I first came to the Black Fang pack, I never would have imagined that I would be happy, with two daughters, a son on the way, a loving mate, a pack, and a family that I loved with all of my heart. Since the night with Mavis, the program I had created had taken off without a hitch. With Leilani’s help, we were able to track down everyone that needed our help and even find homes for everyone. We had to deal with a few trouble packs, but once again Black Fang banded together to take them on. Now my father was getting ready to step down as the Alpha King and he had named Eric as the new Alpha King. I couldn’t be happier for Eric, since I know he is going to be the best for the job. It helps that he has a kick-ass mate, who m
Contract Beta Chapter 96
Leilani-Breaking the hex on the door, I walked in and saw the other half of my soul standing next to the bed. She gave me a soft smile, which looked both sad and knowing. Before I could say anything, she began speaking.“If we do this, there is no going back. If death comes to us, it will be forever. Are you sure you want to do this?” She asked.“You know this is our only chance. Even if we redo the cycle, it still won’t be enough. Spending as much time as I did with the other versions of me, they still didn’t reach their full potential. There is no guarantee that if I come back that I will find a way to defeat her. How long must we continue in this cycle if I need to become complete to defeat her?”I don’t know why I just didn’t agree to this from the start. Was it out of fear or something else? It didn’t really matter now though. I knew now that it was our only real chance of defeating her. Even if I died, I could hopefully bring Mavis down with me.“Very well, then we will live ou
Contract Beta Chapter 95
Leilani-In absolute horror, I stood there as Archer moved toward me. I could feel it through our bond that he was going to attack me. It was in that instant I realized why Mavis kept looking over at him.“You need to fight it!” I yelled at Archer, pleading with him.It was foolish of me to think I could take on Mavis with extraordinarily little time to learn centuries of magic. I had played directly into her hand. Now she had somehow managed to take control of Archer.There was no way I could fight him. The last thing I wanted to do was kill him or even hurt him. I could tell he was struggling against the hold she had on him, but I was starting to feel that he was slipping away from me.“Fight!” I screamed at the top of my lungs.He didn’t respond, which I didn’t think he could at this point. I could feel our bond, but it felt wrong, tainted. Just then I felt Eric’s arms come around me and I was lifted off the ground.“You can’t reach him anymore. We need to get out of here.” He said
Contract Beta Chapter 94
Leilani-“Are you ready?” I asked Archer, who was now in his dragon form.“I will follow you anywhere.” He spoke into my mind.Knowing I couldn’t push the time anymore, I transported Archer and I through the threshold that divided the two realities. I trusted Jarod to join us when he was ready, he had left to get Delilah and any other help he could. It wasn’t that I wasn’t confident I could take Mavis on now, but we all agreed we needed as much help as possible.“Release them.” I yelled out to Mavis.For the past ten minutes, I have been watching everything play out. It had taken everything I had not to just appear sooner. Just as Eric suggested though, I used every second I could until I could no longer wait.I was on the other side of the group of pack members, opposite the packhouse. I couldn’t let Mavis know what Archer looked like in his human form just in case this went south. Where we were now, it was the only area large enough, that was close to them, that allowed Archer to be
Contract Beta Chapter 93
Eric-With everything I possessed, I had to try to keep Desmond at bay. He was ready to come out and rip out Mavis’s throat, for forcing herself on me and kissing me. I had been able to push her off, but she was trying to do it again.If I didn’t know that she would kill us if my wolf attacked her, I probably would have let him out. I didn’t stand a chance against a witch as powerful as Mavis, or any witch for that matter. Unlike Leilani, I wasn’t anything special like that.“I don’t care how much you try. I will never be with you.” I gritted out, doing my best to keep her lips from touching mine again.“You know I can force you right?” She whispered, just before I felt the slickness of her tongue as it ran along the base of my neck.It felt like pins and needles were being dragged across my skin. Just her touching me like this made me feel ill. I just hope that Leilani couldn’t see this and that she was once again in her meditation.I had hated leaving her as I had. Jarod had gotten
Contract Beta Chapter 92
Leilani-“Come on, I know you are wanting to get this done, but you need to snap out of it.” I heard Archer’s voice in my mind.It wasn’t the first time he has tried to get me to come out of my trance, but I have been ignoring him. He was right, I was trying to get this done. I know I already missed the first six hour break I was supposed to do, but I was doing well right now.Unlike the first time I did this, I knew what I was doing now. I have learned so much more and I felt completely fine. If anything, I felt as if I was fully rested and full of energy.“Eric is here.” Archer’s words hit like a brick wall.Okay, I don’t know if he was just saying it to get me to come out of it, but whatever the case was, it worked. Snapping out of my state of mind, I looked around the room and Eric was indeed sitting on the couch. It almost seemed as if he were looking at me, but I knew he couldn’t be.“I was wondering when you were going to come out of it.” Eric’s voice was like music to my ears.
Contract Beta Chapter 91
Leilani- I spent an hour looking for Jarod. Even going as far as trying a locator spell, I produced nothing. I didn’t think I did the spell wrong, since I tried again with Eric. I also had Archer leave to go to the field of flowers, so I could try on him as well. Jarod was the only one I couldn’t locate. It was as if he was wiped out of existence all together. Continuing to look around the house, I looked for a sign or something of what could have happened to him. The longer this took, the more valuable time I was losing. “I found something.” Archer said from across the room. Moving to his side, he handed me a folded piece of paper with my name on it. Opening the paper, I noticed it was a note from Jarod. Hoping it would tell me where he was, I began to read the letter aloud. “I am guessing if you found this letter, then I was trapped inside the room. If that is the case, I am going to need you to let me out. I have cracked the code on the hex, but I have a suspicion that I am not
Contract Beta Chapter 90
Leilani-I wasn’t ready yet. She couldn’t be here already, there was still so much I needed to learn first. I thought I had more time.“That was quite the show. I especially enjoyed watching you two fucking like bunnies in there. I find it exciting to know that my dear sister might be carrying your child and once again I will be taking away her hopes of a family. It is perfect really, considering that it all started this way.” Mavis laughed as she continued to clap.Petrified by her being here, all I could think about was everyone else that could be in danger now. I had hoped I would be able to face her alone, because she could seriously hurt or even kill everyone else that tried anything against her. What if someone walked out and saw her?They might get it in their mind to attack. Then there was Archer, who might decide to show her who he was and then he might be in worse danger than he should be. This was not good at all.At hearing her words, I wondered if it was possible if my ac
