All Chapters of Contract Beta: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

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

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

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

Leilani-The past four days have been absolute torture. Jarod has been training me for nearly five hours a day. Originally it was only supposed to be for a couple of hours a day, but I didn’t expect three hours to turn into five.Although I guess I had no one to blame but myself. It wasn’t like I couldn’t tap into the powers I have, I just couldn’t use them in the way that he wanted me to. Apparently, I wasn’t a typical witch like the others.Not only was I technically a full werewolf, but I was also tapping into ancient magic. Archer was struggling to find a way to help, who was currently inside the house as we were outside. He was looking for anything that might help.I was just trying to do a basic spell yet everything I did just fizzled out. It was getting frustrating, and I was wondering if I was ever going to get strong enough to go against Mavis. I knew she went by Cordelia now, but I couldn’t stop calling her Mavis.As far as I was concerned, that was her name. She was the one

Leilani-“I do.” I told her, knowing there was no sense in denying it.“You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that. Pretending with you was more of a hassle than I wanted. I could have ended you the first time I saw you, but I thought it would be more interesting to mess with you. Now that you know who I am though, I can’t just walk away. I was hoping to have more time to torment you though.” She sighed as if she were upset about something, yet the look on her face was far from being upset.There was a gleam in her eyes that virtually sparkled with something I couldn’t quite put my finger on. If I could remember the way she ended my life in the past, I would imagine she had found pleasure in it. That was the closest way I could describe the look on her face.“You won’t lay a finger on her.” Eric snarled, taking a more protective stance in front of me.“And what are you going to do about it, my dearest Trevor?” Cordelia spoke.Okay technically it was Mavis, but it was hard to dist
