All Chapters of Contract Beta: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

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

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

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

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

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
