Contract Beta Chapter 47
Leilani-When we arrived in the north field, this time I wasn’t attempting to sneak around. I wanted Archer to know I have come for him. After the last encounter with him, I wasn’t sure it would be a welcoming visit.“So, explain to me why we are about to release a dragon?” Eric asked as we made our way toward the volcano.“Because he needs to know that I am not going to leave him here. Apparently, long ago my soul was cursed by a witch, for loving you. Except it wasn’t you exactly, it was a version of yourself. According to,” I paused, not sure how to explain this without it sounded strange.“Let’s just say it was me, but from long ago. This witch, the one you mentioned earlier, had also been in love with you. Back then I was just a witch, and each time I had died, I had been reborn. It wasn’t until this time I was reborn as a werewolf, but because of my soul, my powers came with me.” I wasn’t sure if I was making any sense to him, but he didn’t interrupt.“Once I fully accepted the

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
Contract Beta Chapter 52
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

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
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
