Contract Beta Chapter 68
Leilani-The darkness that surrounded me wasn’t right. Yes, it was nighttime, but it hadn’t been this dark. Blinking my eyes, I started to see some light moving in and out of my vision. I felt strange, like I had been drugged or something.“Leilani?” Eric’s loving voice filled my ears.I tried to focus on the light, but it was extremely out of focus. Blinking a few more times, things started to become clearer. What had happened? Had the spell worked?“Eric?” I whispered, as I looked into the light blue eyes of my mate.He released a harsh breath and his shoulders slumped mildly. Wait, why was I laying on the ground? I heard someone crying, a man perhaps. Could it be that the spell had gone wrong, and Charles and Isabelle didn’t make it?Sitting up, I was thankful for Eric’s assistance. For the strangest reason, I felt disoriented, out of place perhaps. I couldn’t remember what had happened.One minute I felt the other versions of me coming forward to echo the words Jarod and Delilah s
Contract Beta Chapter 69
Leilani-Over the next few days, we worked grueling hours trying to find a solution. Delilah still hasn’t returned, so we were all starting to get worried. I could see Jarod was probably the most worried, but he was doing his best to make it seem like everything was okay.With everything going on, I wonder if perhaps too many people were getting involved. Brook was involved again to help Tate. Tate was involved for reasons that I believed were completely out of the need for vengeance.He was a loose cannon with his temper. Plus, he was drinking excessively. Charles was the only one that wasn’t necessary, that was helping the most.“This isn’t working.” I whispered to Jarod, keeping my voice low so the others couldn’t hear me.We were in a room that Jarod created using his magic. I was still trying to understand how it was possible. I understood I was a witch also, but half of the stuff I have seen him do was things I was sure were straight out of a fairytale book.The door he created

Leilani-“What is it?” I asked, as my heart started beating wildly against my chest.I couldn’t get over this uneasiness I was feeling. What could he have to say that was so important, that it had to wait until we arrived at this place? The fact he was taking his time in telling me was making it worse.Silence fell over the room as we all waited for Archer to speak. His attention just kept moving around the room, between all of us. Unless he started talking soon, I was wondering if he wanted us to guess what it was.“To keep the peace and to not stir any issues, I think it is for the best that I return to where I was held captured.” Archer finally began to speak.I was just about to say something because sending him back was exactly what I was trying to avoid. Before I could say anything, he held his hand up and gave me a look that for some reason made me keep my mouth shut.“Before you say anything, hear me out. You might not remember Mavis, but I do. If you think we have been lucky
Contract Beta Chapter 71
Leilani-A rush of emotions filled me as each second passed by while we were holding our palms together. It was at that moment I was truly glad I agreed to bond myself with Archer. Since mating with Eric, there had been a part of me that felt as if I wasn’t complete.Now everything was turning out better than I anticipated. Not only was I mated, which I never thought would happen, but I also had my wolf as well as a dragon protector. All I had left was to get rid of the threat that hung over my head.Archer removed his hand from mine, and I realized I could feel the emotions that were rolling off him. I could tell he felt excited but also like he was at peace or something. It was no wonder he was always feeding into my emotions, it was exhilarating.“Will I always be able to feel everything you feel?” I asked in amazement.“Only if you want to. You can block your ability to read my emotions or even block me from reading yours. All you need to do is imagine a door being opened or close
Contract Beta Chapter 72
Leilani-When we reached the packhouse, I started to become nervous about what I would find in that room. My steps began to slow as we made our way up the stairs. Just outside of the suite I shared with Eric, and now Archer, I hesitated.“Is something wrong?” Jarod’s voice wasn’t loud, but it did startle me, causing me to jump.“Well, what if there is something in that room I am not supposed to find? Who is to say it was even Mavis’s doing?” I asked as I stared at the door.“The only way we will know is if you open it. Don’t worry, I am right here with you. I understand that you might be scared, but even if something bad is behind that door, you have much worse adversaries to face in your future.” Jarod offered, making me feel a bit better.“That is if I have a future.” I muttered, more to myself than anyone.Taking a deep breath, I knew he was right. Now wasn’t the time to be scared. I was about to go up against Mavis, at least if we could find her or she finds us.My life has never
Contract Beta Chapter 73
Eric-If I was being honest with myself, I wasn’t sure if this was a good idea or not. Nonetheless, if Leilani thought she needed to do this, I was more than willing to have her back on this. As we neared her old pack though, I was starting to wonder if she might be in over her head.Since Leilani had her wolf now, we had left our pack on foot. The last thing we wanted to do was draw too much attention upon arriving. What had I been thinking to agree to this?Tate, I knew wasn’t within his right mind, considering he had never been able to handle loss well. Yet what was my excuse? Yes, I lost my mother as well, but I guess I just felt like I needed to keep it together for everyone.So why had I agreed to have just the three of us head into a pack territory that wasn’t our allies and who had treated my mate so poorly? Leilani had just started training and she didn’t know how to use her magic yet.Inwardly I groaned at the complication we were possibly going to face. If I thought the Red
Contract Beta Chapter 74
Leilani-Well, I couldn’t be mad that she did answer at least one of my questions. It wasn’t the one I needed to be answered, but it gave me a bit of closure. Just knowing her reasons made it feel as if a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.I stood there for more than I should have, even after the attacks started, completely lost in thought. My eyes moved past the Luna at the Alpha, who I realize was possibly the closest thing I had to a father figure. He hadn’t been perfect, but I should know better than anyone that standing up against Trish wasn’t the easiest thing in the world.After this is done, I hope there is something I could do for him. I wasn’t sure what, but as long as he stayed alive, I was going to find a way to help him. Shaking out of my thoughts, I focused on the war that had broken out in front of me.I still didn’t know who Mavis was, but at least now I could find a bit of peace. I didn’t think it was right that my old Luna had treated me that way, but now I un
Contract Beta Chapter 75
Eric-We made record time returning to the packhouse. Before we entered, Tate grabbed my arm, causing me to come to a stop. He must have grabbed Leilani’s as well because she also stopped.“Before we go in, I want to thank you both for allowing me to come with you. I realize that I have been acting a bit unruly lately. Because of what we just faced, I see that I need to stop moping around and do what I need to do as the Alpha.” Tate spoke.I couldn’t be more proud of my brother than I was at this moment. There had been a bit of hope inside me that would hope he would come out of his funk, but I hadn’t expected this. Then again, the last thing I had anticipated was for Leilani to react as she had either.“I am glad you are finally seeing things more clearly.” I told him as I placed my hand on his shoulder.“You have one amazing mate, brother.” Tate said, his attention drawn to Leilani. “If I hadn’t seen her stand up for herself and find strength within her, I would have never seen the

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
