The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 108

“And if they attack in the next few hours?” My eyes flicker up to the clock on the wall

He follows my gaze to the clock. “They would be stupid to attack now knowing that you have done exactly what I said. If they know anything, they won't attack when there is a chance that everyone is fully rested.”

“I need to speak to her first.” I mutter. Neah isn’t the greatest of liars. If I could see through it, then something tells me Trey or Cassandra will to.

“I’m telling you. If you want to keep her safe and away from whatever is going to happen, then this is the way.” He watches me get to my feet. “If you see my twin, can you send her in?”

I roll my eyes, “She won’t let you out until she knows you are healed.”

“A Wolf has got to try.”

Raven and Neah are sitting on the small bench outside, deep in conversation about something. They both fall silent as I approach. “He wants to see you.” I mutter to Raven.

“I’ve already told him no. I know him, he will go straight back out there.” She shakes her head and storms inside, ready to lay down the law with Jenson.

Neah is quiet, slowly picking at the wooden bench and avoiding my eyes.

“You are doing it again.” I murmur, sitting where Raven had sat.

“Raven told me.”

“Did she now? She certainly has a habit of doing that.” I frown, she hadn’t been inside when Jenson and I had spoken of the plan. “What exactly did she say?”

“I would be in the forest…..”

“No.” I cut her off before she has a chance to finish and pull her in against me. “Not a chance. But there is another idea of Jenson’s that I need to see if you are okay with.”

She tilts her head to one side, the moon reflects off of her blue eyes, reminding me of a time my father took the three of us to a crystal clear lake. That was the last time I saw my father and my step mother.

“Not here.” I had no idea how she was going to react and I didn’t need or want the attention.

‘She won’t agree to it.’ Aero mumbles
