The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 11

“Did anyone have a clue?” I demand as I watch my sleeping mate. She was out cold and likely would be for some time. Raven had gone as far as stitching her up once she was certain the tie had been severed and Neah's body had been pumped full of drugs.

‘Someone’s head is going to roll!’ Aero growls

“No.” Eric replies. “Surely if Neah was mated, she wouldn’t have left Moonshine so easily.”

“But she didn’t though, did she?! She practically collapsed at the door.”

“I thought you said that was because she had never left? You said a combination of fear and illness.”

I turn around to see him leaning against the wall, studying me. He was the only one I had confided in, telling him what Aero had said about Neah being our mate.

“Maybe he was nearby.” He shrugs his shoulders at me as my eyes shift to my sister.

She was staring into her coffee, trying to not draw attention to herself, but the silence told me she knew something. The girl barely stay silent for more than a few minutes

“Spit it out!” I snap at her.

‘Why the fuck is it always Raven?’ Aero prowls around the back of my mind. I already knew he wanted to have it out with Raven’s Wolf, Midnight

“I don’t know anything.” Raven keeps her eyes low

“Raven! I nearly killed her by kissing her because of this stupid fucking blood tie! A blood tie can only exist if she has a mate that is still alive.”

“Okay, okay. You don’t need to go all Alpha on me. She had a mate. All I know is that he rejected her.”

“Are you certain?”

She nods her head.

“Did she accept?”
