Contract Beta Chapter 56
Eric-Not wanting to discuss it in front of Kate, we waited until she left. From the look Tate was giving me, I was pretty sure he was on the same page that I was. The moment Kate walked away, I ushered Tate and Leilani into the room with Brook and our mother.“What do you think?” I asked Tate, as my eyes wandered to my mother who was still crying, as she had been before I left.“You heard her man, this will be a huge risk. I don’t think it should be one we take lightly. I have seen what losing a wolf has done to someone though. The question is, is it even possible?” Tate asked.“I don’t know, but there is only one way to find out. We need to contact Delilah and when Jarod gets here, maybe we can figure it out. I for one want to do everything I can to help. If we had known something was wrong, maybe we could have stopped this from happening.” I turned to Tate, hoping he was just as willing to do whatever it took.“You know I don’t like any of that magic nonsense. It is bad enough I mu
Contract Beta Chapter 57
Leilani-“What do you mean by factors?” I asked, not feeling the same delight Eric was feeling.Until we knew more, I didn’t think we needed to get ahead of ourselves and think we could solve their problems. From everything I have been hearing, I wondered if maybe I had jumped the gun. I was glad Eric was feeling better, but I was growing more cautious about using magic.Tate seemed to be opposed to it, and so did the pack doctor. What if what they said was true and it caused more problems. I could already feel the guilt ease in, at thinking I could become the reason something terrible happens to their parents.“Well, it depends on what happened for them to lose their wolf. If they are willing to do it since I know most wolves aren’t too keen on our kind nowadays. We can’t force an unwilling wolf to participate in magic. It will also depend on if the wolf is already dead or not.” Delilah explained.Eric quickly explained what happened, and now he seemed less excited about the prospect
Contract Beta Chapter 58
Leilani-The next morning, believe I woke up before anyone else. Looking outside I noticed the moon was still peeking through the window. Not wanting to wake Eric, I gently unwrapped his arms from around me.Careful not to make any noise or sudden movements, I eased out of bed. When my feet hit the floor, I tiptoed out of the room. My brain was in a fog this morning, more than likely from what Delilah had told me.Not sure what to do, I thought maybe it was a good idea to go for a walk outside. I would have to go barefoot though since most of my stuff was still in the room Archer was now in. Just needing to get some fresh air, I silently made my way outside.“Where are you running off to?” I heard Tate’s voice the moment I stepped outside.Looking in the direction of his voice, I saw he was walking towards me from the direction of the trees. Softly closing the door, I made my way in his direction, not wanting my voice to carry inside and wake anyone up.“I just felt like I needed to g
Contract Beta Chapter 59
Leilani- I wasn’t sure how long we ran, but when the sun started to rise, I knew we would need to return soon. Slowing my pace, the boys did as well until we all came to a complete stop. It was almost as if I could feel their emotions in this form because I could sense they also knew it was time to head back. Wanting to run back, I turned to head in the opposite direction we had been running. Thankfully they joined me, considering I had figured they would have shifted back right there. The run back was just as delightful other than the fact it didn’t last nearly as long as I thought it would. When we reached the yard of the packhouse, I realized I didn’t know how to shift back. Eric and Tate shifted with ease back into their human form and even Archer joined us shortly later, already in his human form. I tried to think of all my lessons from class but couldn’t remember if it had been covered in a lesson. “I know you don’t want to shift back, but we need to get back inside before a
Contract Beta Chapter 60
Eric- The moment I smelled my body wash on her, I was ready to say the hell with it and carry her into the room. Until this moment, I don’t think I ever thought of a male’s scent smelling this amazing on a woman. I have noticed other females doing it, which I had found weird. Having my scent on her like this, was probably the most titillating thing I have experienced. Not only that but just knowing others would smell it on her gave me a sense of pride. If they didn’t already know she was mine, they would after catching her scent. I was just about to tell Jarod and Archer to fuck off for an hour, but then Tate walked in without knocking. I was just about to ask where Brook was when she came in a few seconds later with my niece and Jason. So much for the idea to take Leilani back to bed. “Sorry we are late, the babysitter wasn’t able to come this morning.” Brook said the moment she sat down on the couch next to Tate. This was the exact reason I was glad I had a large couch. Even wi

Leilani-For a minute I figured they were just going to talk for me. I was tired of people taking over my life since it has been like that for as long as I can remember. Now that they were willing to get my input, I realized that I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do.The idea of getting stuck in that place again didn’t sit well with me. If there was a way for me to get in and out, then I wouldn’t mind going back. I was still curious about why I couldn’t gain access to my old room.“Are you sure I can go in and out without any issues?” Sitting forward in my chair, I placed my elbows on the table.“Yes, but I will go with you the first couple of times just in case. You will do it, but I will be there to help you, should you run into any problems.” Delilah gave me a reassuring smile.I didn’t know her as well as the others did. In the time I have been speaking to her though, she has seemed to be, well I wasn’t too sure what she seemed to be. All I knew was things were a mess and she knew a

Leilani-Eric and I were the last ones in the auditorium after everyone left. I was still floored that Delilah wanted me to remove a scale from Archer. Looking over at Eric, he appeared to be waiting for me.“She can’t be serious.” I stated, not really concerned if he responded or not.“I wouldn’t know, but I am sure it will be fine.” His hand moved to my thigh, where he squeezed it slightly, giving me the impression that he was attempting to comfort me.I thought he was going to remove his hand, but he kept it there. His gaze moved down to his hand, and I saw that his eyes darkened slightly. Instantly I felt myself become aroused, thinking of what he had promised me this morning.Technically we were alone, even if someone could walk in at any moment. Not that I cared since this has been building up all day. I wasn’t sure what time it was, but it feels like it has been an eternity.Before I could say or do anything, he moved his hand up to my hip and placed his other hand on the other
Contract Beta Chapter 63
Eric-I have heard of others allowing their wolves to take control when they were with their mates because it allowed them to be with them. Tate had even told me of a time or two that his wolf had been granted control during certain instances. When Desmond wanted to do it, I figured it would be fine.Now I realize I was completely wrong. For one I never even asked Leilani if she was okay with it. Looking at the deep bruising on her pelvic bone, I saw Desmond had been too rough with her. I knew everything that had happened, felt it even.The entire time I had been too engrossed in how it made me feel that I failed to see how far he took it. I couldn’t take my eyes off the marks.“Damnit, Eric! Look at me!” Leilani yelled, but I couldn’t bring myself to look at her.“Do not see what you did?” I asked my wolf, needing him to understand how much he messed up.He didn’t respond, yet I didn’t think he would. I had hoped I would feel his guilt or something, yet I felt nothing that signified

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
