The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 128

Neah

“Where is she?” I feel my blood boiling. She couldn’t be far. Klaus said she had been with Eric and Raven. Where were they? He couldn’t have taken them all out.

But then, if he had wounds. They would have healed by now.

I turn away from him, quickly moving through all the rooms on the bottom floor. Roan stays on my heels, following me from room to room. Laughing as I discover the emptiness of each room.

“The moment Trey died, the contract between us was over!” He murmurs behind me.

‘Just kill him!’ Nyx snaps

‘We can’t, we have no idea where Jess is. And he knows that.’

“Don’t go getting any ideas from that beast inside of you!” He smirks at me

“Jess is just a kid.” I snarl at him

“I know. That is why I said she is safe for now.”

“She is part of this pack!” I snap. “You are breaking your contract with Dane.”

“The contract was over the moment you killed Trey. Dane said it himself, when the threat is over, the contract is over. And i am not threatening your pups.”

“So what? This is some kind of payback? You were the one who wanted Dane’s help and now you repay him like this?”

“I did repay him. I helped kill the Lycans for both of you and she’s not part of his pack. She is part of your pack. I suggest you tell your beast to step down.”

My eyes gave it away, turning black as Nyx pushed herself forward. But shifting right now was not going to help us. Where was Dane? He must be able to feel my panic.

I close my eyes, trying to understand what benefit Jess would bring him.

“It was me, wasn’t it.” I mutter. “You said you were fascinated by me shifting, but you can’t have me because of Dane. So you are taking your chances with Jess. Which is disgusting, you are almost twenty years older than her and she is a kid. She is fifteen!”

‘He doesn’t know.’ Nyx murmurs. ‘He doesn’t know she has a mate. If he tries anything it will kill her.’

Roan shrugs his shoulders at me. “Do you really think I’m bothered by age?”

"What are you trying to get out of it, pups? Lycan heirs?

He smiles at me and I feel sick

“She can’t give you pups.”

I catch sight of Dane in the window to the side of Roan. He puts a finger to his lips. ‘Keep him talking.’ his voice echoes in my head.

“The witch tell you that?” Roan asks

“Yes. We are a dying breed. I am the last true Lycan. That is why there was only one pack left. They are slowly dying out.”

“Yet you carry twins.” He mocks
