The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 143

“Damien is a good guy. He has a dark side like all of us Lycans. It’s funny, it's like we could only become a Lycan if we had a bad past.” She half smiles. “Fucked up, right?”

“You really believe that?”

“I saw the girl’s arms. Whats her name, Jess? Kids don’t cut themselves like that unless there is some seriously bad shit going on.”

“And you?”

“I watched my father stab my mother over and over in a frenzied attack. After I attacked your friend, all I could see was my father in me. I had become exactly like him. And that is exactly what Cassandra wanted, what she hoped for.”

She ruffles up her blonde hair. “Cassandra never chose normal, happy people. She always chose someone with issues. People who would perform the cruellest acts.”

I feel my stomach drop. What was Damien’s past? Why had she chosen him?

“And Damien?” I was almost afraid to ask

“It’s something he never talks about.”

“Never?”

“Never. I’m sorry, that’s not the answer you were looking for.”

I stand up to leave and glance back over my shoulder at her. “You should tell Dane and Neah what you told me.”

She snorts. “You think that will make Neah think differently of me?”

“She has a dark past too. The only difference is, she is a pure blood. The last living one. She has a hard time trusting people after her history was built on lies.”

‘Well that was not what I was expecting!’ Midnight tells me as we make our way to the pack house.

Neah and Dane were no longer outside arguing and were most likely making up when she should be resting, but Jenson is sat out front. Maybe he could give me some advice.

“What were you doing at Mallory’s?” He asks as I drop down in a seat next to him.

“I’m mated to a Lycan too.”

I didn’t have to look at him to know he was staring at me.
