The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 106

Dane is scowling and I have a headache brewing.

“It makes you nervous?” Dane mutters

“Of course it does.”

I raise an eyebrow at Klaus. He was tall and wide like most of the men here. Though he wasn’t like the others. Preferring to be shut away reading and researching. I don’t think I’ve even seen him training with the others.

There was a moment where I questioned Dane about Klaus really being a Wolf. He reassured me that Klaus went on every pack run and had done so since he had been in Black Shadow.

“You were bullied.” I mumble remembering what I had been told. “You never knew when something was coming and that's why this is making you nervous.”

His deep green eyes lock with mine. I knew my words rang true.

“I like you, Neah. I don’t want to see anything bad happen to you.”

‘Tell him it won’t.’ Nyx murmurs

I repeat her words and Klaus sighs, like he doesn’t believe it. His green eyes slowly move up to Dane. “What do you want me to do?”

The news of me accepting my position travels thick and fast. Dane was inundated with questions and spent most of the afternoon and late evening in talks with his pack.

He had pulled them back from the forest, insisting everyone gets a decent amount of rest and to fuel up while they can.

We didn’t know when they would attack, we just knew they would. So Dane was telling them to sleep while they could. Though he was expecting a long night.

It was almost midnight when I’m pulled from my sleep. Panic tears through me, this was it, this was happening.

“Jensons awake.” Dane mutters to me. He flicks on the light, almost blinding my tired eyes. “He wants to speak with you.”

“I thought we were being attacked." My hand is pressed to my chest

“Come!” Dane grabs my hands, pulling me up into a seated position. He is already moving to the closet to pull out clothes for me.
