The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Indy allows Amy to drag her through the crumbling hallways. I stay close, ready to rip Indy away the moment something changes. Amy's soul is a mess. I knew she was helping, but I still didn't trust her.

There are cracks, and then there are holes, and sadly, the remainder of her soul is riddled with them. She is more than broken, the worst I have seen in a long time. How she is still alive is impressive, but Neah has taught me that Kitson blood is strong and that no matter how close to the edge she got, she had always found her way back. But that was Neah.

And it still didn't make Amy trustworthy.

Amy hums to herself as she shuffles along another hallway, unaware of our eagerness to get out of this shit hole.

Coming to a stop, Indy is wide-eyed as she watches Amy. "We have to keep moving," Indy whispers, gesturing for her to move on.

"Baby girl, we are here," Amy mutters as she smiles at a stone wall. She drops Indy's hand and drags her thin fingers across the wall as if searching for something.

"Secret door," Klaus mutters to the white Wolf. "Like the other one."

Amy's humming grows louder as she squats. She moves her fingers over the grooves of the stones, almost as if she is counting.

Pushing a stone, it sinks into the wall, and something clicks into place. A ridge appears in the shape of a door. As it pulls back, the sound of stone grinding on stone fills the air. Amy laughs to herself as she stands. She spins around, her attention is solely on Indy. "Your home, baby girl."

Klaus glances at me, and I shrug. Amy believed that Indy was Samara, though she had given Samara up after birth. Did Amy not remember the colour of her daughter's eyes?

I know Dorothy's mother would have recognised our daughters. I had watched my first mate suck in every inch of our daughter, memorising her features. If only she could see our little girl now.

Or maybe Amy was teetering on the edge, and unlike Neah, she couldn't make it back. Trapped hovering between life and death.

Indy is the first to slip through the narrow door, and Amy follows her as she starts humming again.

"Guys, you need to see this!" Indy calls out.
