When we left Kellan’s place, we headed back to Black Fang. Instead of stopping anywhere, we drove straight through. The entire drive, Leilani wouldn’t say a word.
Every time I had asked a question, she would just shrug. We were just about to pull into the garage, and I was getting frustrated. What happened in California had to have bothered her, I know it did me.
I hated that she wasn’t talking to me since I knew whatever she was thinking about was weighing heavy on her mind. Pulling into the garage, I parked the car and turned off the engine. Neither of us made an attempt to get out of the car.
“Do you want to talk about it?” I asked, turning towards her so I could see her better.
Once again, she shrugged, which only pissed me off. It wasn’t that I was even mad at her, I was mad at what she has been through to cause her to be like this. With a heavy sigh, I got out of the car.

Leilani-I had thought I could get into my room undetected. When Tate had come up behind me, he scared the living daylights out of me. At first, I had thought it had been Eric and he had caught me when I had been eavesdropping on his conversation with the Luna.Luckily it had only been Tate, who had wanted to make me an official member of the pack. After I accepted the pack as my own, he went on his way, leaving me alone. Not wanting Eric to find me, I made my way to my room and closed myself in.My heart felt like it was beating a million beats a second. I couldn’t believe what I had heard. Brook was basically telling Eric to just sign a contract with me and wait for things to work out. I remember what his reason was for wanting to sign the contract, but now it was different.Was I merely a means to an end for him? Was it really a mess that he had a contract with me? And what did she mean for him to face the music? Pacing in my room, I froze when I

Eric-“Maybe she meant when we finish the mate bond?” I asked, just before I lowered my head to lightly nibble on her neck, where my mark will go.To my surprise, she responded by emitting a soft moan. Finally, I could have what my brother has with his mate. I knew it wouldn’t be the same exactly, but I was sure I would be happy regardless.“You mean by having sex?” She purred as I continued to nibble on her neck.I couldn’t help by wonder if it was her that was responding to me, or the mate pull. As mates, it shouldn’t matter, but it did slightly. I wanted her to be wanting this of her own volition.“Yes, but I mean by claiming you fully as mine.” I pulled back from her neck to look her in the eyes. “Only if you want to and are ready.” I added.I studied her, trying to get a read on what was going through her head. I didn’t want her to agree to it if she wasn’t on
Contract Beta Chapter 31: Claimed
Leilani-I have read in books, that I would feel pain for the first time, but all I felt was a pleasure. It was so intense, that I felt as if I was floating. Suddenly I felt a presence in my mind, possibly my wolf but I was too engrossed in Eric that I didn’t bother asking.Wrapping my legs around his waist, I needed to feel him deeper. I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing right now. All I could do was lay here and hold on to him as if my life depended on it. My life did feel like it depended on it since each thrust he made into me made me as if I was going higher and higher into the clouds.My hands found their way to his back, wrapping around him as if they really needed to hold on. It was almost like my mind has been sucked into oblivion. I couldn’t even formulate a proper thought or idea.I could hear moans filling the room, but it had taken me a bit to realize I was the one making them. Eric pulled his lips away from mine, causin

Leilani-Waking up the next morning, I realized I had fallen asleep on Eric’s bed. I didn’t remember much after he marked me, in fact, I don’t even remember falling asleep. The last thing I remember was sitting on top of him still, just having come down from a sexual high.I remembered thinking I was feeling happy that I was no longer alone, then nothing after that. There had to be more that happened. I mean I was wearing a shirt that was probably ten times too big for me.I was also tucked up against Eric as he slept soundly. At least I was pretty sure he was still sleeping from the light snoring that was coming from him. When had I put on his shirt or even laid down?Remembering I felt my wolf last night, I searched my mind to try to see if I could reach her. I still wasn’t sure how it all worked if I had to reach out to her or if she was supposed to be there. Now that I knew I had a wolf, there had to be a way to reach her.

Eric-“Damnit, Eric! Put me down!” Leilani shouted for probably the tenth time today, since leaving the pack doctor.I didn’t care, I wasn’t taking any chances. She said she was feeling dizzy, so I didn’t want her to faint on me and not be able to catch her again. Plus, I didn’t want her using up all her energy if I was perfectly capable of carrying her.It wasn’t like she was heavy or anything, she practically weighed next to nothing with how small she was. There was possibly a chance I was feeling overprotective right now because I blamed myself for her condition. Before I had marked her she had been fine.Not even seconds after I fully claimed her as mine, did she pass out on top of me. I should have known then there was something wrong. Maybe I could have prevented things from getting worse.After she had passed out, I laid her down and stepped away from her to grab one of my shirts. She hadn’t th

Eric- “You don’t understand, I need my coven with me.” Cordelia tried to reason. “Then bring them here, but unless you want another war on your hand, you will refrain from using your powers against my pack.” Tate’s Alpha voice came out, although it would hold no effect on Cordelia. Her eyes moved to Tate as she spoke but quickly returned to Brook. It was fleeting, but I recognized the fear in her eyes when Brook moved slightly. I knew Brook was special, because of who her father was, but why would a witch be afraid of her? It wasn’t like Brook was part witch or anything. Granted her bloodline was blessed by the Moon Goddess, granting her special abilities. Nothing magical as far as I knew though. Feeling like Brook was going to be a big use against the witches, I stepped closer to Brook. As if Cordelia knew something the rest of us didn’t, she stood down and lifted her hands in front of her. At first, I thought she was going to attack, but she

Leilani-Why did I feel so peaceful here? I was surrounded by a field of purple flowers. There were some flowers I recognized, others I did not. One of the flowers I recognized were lilacs, which were my favorite flower.It seemed as if all my worries have just faded from me completely. If anything, I felt like I was whole. Other than this nagging feeling I had in the back of my mind that told me I didn’t belong here.Ignoring that, I walked through the rows of flowers, occasionally bending over to smell them. Every flower I came across looked beautiful and healthy, as if they have been well cared for. I was careful not to step on one.“Leilani.” I heard someone call my name, but when I looked around, I didn’t see anyone.Shrugging my shoulders, I continued my adventure through the flowers. When I came across a flower that didn’t seem right, I stopped walking. There was something strange about it.Other than the

Eric-I felt defeated right now. Seeing Leilani’s limp body like this, I felt like I haven’t been protecting her as a mate should. If I had been, I would have been able to protect her before she ended up like this.Turning her hand in mine, I was just about to place my other hand on her palm, when I noticed something that hadn’t been there before. Across the center of her palm, there was a burn mark. Straightening my back, I moved to lift her other hand.She had the same mark on her other hand. I called the warriors back in, needing to find out if something happened to her in the time I was gone. When neither of them knew where the burn marks came from, I wondered if it was the witch that did this to her.Lifting her in my arms, I carried her downstairs, back to my office. I didn’t figure Tate nor Brook would be here, but I didn’t expect them to both come running in as soon as I placed Leilani on the couch.“What

Contract Beta Author Note
I 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 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

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

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

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

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
