The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 127

Roan makes me jump. He is sitting outside the office door when I enter the packhouse. He rises to his feet when he sees me. His dark grey eyes drift down to my blood covered hand.

“You killed him?” His tone is empty, but he continues to stare at me like he had since we first met.

“Yes, he is dead.” I don’t know what it is about this man, but he brings out my irritation just by existing.

“That makes you the last one. Well, you and Jess.”

I don’t like the way he is looking at me and his eyes settle on my stomach. “Do we know what they are?”

“Dane’s heirs.” I mutter back

“You know that is not what I am asking.”

“And still, that is what they are!” I snap. “Unborn members of this pack. Can I ask you a question?”

“Ask?”

“The bitten, the ones changed, whatever you want to call it. How did they end up in your city?”

“The same way as they ended up in the city down the road.”

“How long have you known there were Lycans?”

He stares at me, pressing his lips together.

“You knew. You knew before they started turning up in your city. When you were told, you barely reacted. How long have you known?”

He shrugs his shoulders at me.

‘He’s an asshole!’ Nyx growls

“You didn’t come just because of the contract, did you?”

“In parts, yes. I don't walk away from my commitments. Though I was excited to hear that the great Alpha Dane had finally settled down. I was curious until I heard your name. Neah Kitson. It’s not a name you forget easily.” He rises from the chair.

I frown, taking a step back. “I’ve never met you.”

“But you have. A long time ago. You were little, a few months old. I was ten, maybe eleven. Your parents were in my family’s city. They abandoned you.”
