The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 124

The Wolves haven’t moved an inch but the Lycans creep closer. Prepared for battle.

‘I’m ready when you are.’ Nyx mutters

I take a deep breath as the Lycans edge a little closer. If this doesn’t work, we were screwed.

‘Drop the block.’

My head is quickly filled with mutterings. Words of the Lycans all blurring together to make a constant hum.

“I AM YOUR ALPHA. BRING CASSANDRA AND TREY TO ME!” I demand. I’m almost surprised by my own tone as it becomes more authoritative.

The Lycans freeze. I see how they all look at one another. They had likely been told something else about me. Something far from the truth, but if they were feeling the same thing that Jess had felt, they wouldn’t be able to refuse.

“NO!! Cassandra screams out. “You don’t have that power. You are no one. Trey, tell them!” Her hands ball into fists at her side. She was so used to getting her own way and now she had hundreds of Lycans turning their attention to her and not in a good way.

I could see from her eyes that this was something she never saw coming.

‘Stupid bitch!’ Nyx murmurs

Screams break through the air. Cassandra’s shrill voice causes a lot of the Wolves and Lycans to cover their ears. She starts backing away, yet there was nowhere for her to go. Lycan’s lined the trees behind her. A wall of Wolves stood in front of her.

“TREY! TREY! Help me!” A single black Lycan backs away into the trees as large claws grab on to Cassandra. No longer caring about her screams

‘Bring him to me!’ I snap through the link to all of them. Several of them take off running after Trey.

Looking over to Dane, I see him smiling at me. He had been waiting for this. Waiting for me to become who I am supposed to be.

The Lycans start to attack one another, desperate to be the one to bring the screaming bitch to me. They probably thought that I would spare their lives for their compliance. I had no intention of doing that. I didn’t want to be an Alpha of a pack that would betray their own. I didn’t want those who so easily believed the words of Trey and Cassandra.

Jess's hand is still in mine and I smile at her. She was young and that was Cassandra’s downfall. She had chosen to change a girl who was similar to myself. A girl who wasn’t interested in being anything more than who she is.
