The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 129

“What about Raven and Eric?”

“We found them, unconscious in the pantry. Don’t worry, they are both fine. Just out of it.”

“But Jess….”

“We will get her back. We all know that she means a lot to you.” He gives me a smile but it doesn’t meet his deep green eyes. He was worried too, he just wasn't going to admit it.

‘Someone needs to tell Jenson.’ Nyx murmurs.

‘He doesn’t want her. And that’s for the best.’ I

‘He is still mated to her.’

‘Are you thinking that he will chase after her?’

‘I think if we tell him, we will learn what he really feels about being mated to her.’

‘She’s a kid.’ I mutter

‘I know. Why do you think he really left?’

‘Because she refused the rejection.’

She shakes her head. ‘Try again.’ Nyx mutters joyfully

‘To wait until she turned eighteen?’

She nods, ‘She refused his rejection. He can’t do anything because he knows it will kill her. The easiest thing to do is to create distance and wait until she is old enough.’

“Talking to Nyx?” Klaus asks

I nod.

“Dane will find Jess.” He tries to reassure me

“I hope so. Can you do me a favour?”

“Sure.”

“Link Jenson and tell him.”

“He wanted to reject…..” He stops when he sees my face. “You have an idea?”

“Please just link him.”

He nods his head at me. His eyes quickly glaze over, showing that he is in the middle of a conversation. I watch his face go through a range of different emotions before he refocuses on me. “He is on the way to meet up with Dane. It seems as though Dane had the same idea as you. He had already told him.

“We should tell the pack to keep an eye on Roan.” I mutter to Eric as I stride back and forth in front of the office window.

Since he had regained consciousness, he had stayed with me in the office along with Raven and Klaus and I was growing restless.

Eric shakes his head at me. “As much as I understand where you are going with your idea. Dane doesn’t want the attention on him. It will just give him a reason to run. As far as the pack is concerned, Roan is staying for the party. Nothing less, nothing more.”
