The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 159

My scowl deepens. “Something about me believing that he would be the only one who wants our pups. What if he is right? Have you heard anything about his pack? Ashburn city?”

“He is trying to mess with your head. Roan will be killed in front of everyone tomorrow. It doesn’t matter what he says.” He presses his lips to my cheek. “But yes, I have had news from Ashburn city. It seems that Roan was getting a bit too power obsessed. The Beta has stepped into the Alpha role and he has told me that he will be glad to see the back of him as is the pack.”

I frown. It had taken me a while to figure out the importance of an Alpha Beta relationship. But I always thought they had each other's backs. Though I didn’t have much to base it on. Just Trey and Kyle, and Dane and Eric.

“So they won’t try anything?”

“It seems that way.”

“And what about the Rogue, Salem? Will he be sentenced tomorrow?”

“Raven wants to speak to Salem first.”

“What?” I was completely taken by surprise.

“She has requested it. And I agree. Maybe she can get more information out of him. Because he isn’t talking to you, no matter how many times you try.”

It surprises me that he had agreed. Especially after what the Rogue did to her.

“Are you sure you are okay with that?” I whisper

“Damien and myself will be with her. She won’t be alone with him.”

It was late in the evening when the three of them headed over to the dungeon. Raven was hopping along on crutches much to Damiens frustrations.

“She will be okay.” Eric mutters from next to me.

“You don’t know that.”

“You are right, I don’t. But neither of those men are going to let anything else happen to her.”

I watch them disappear from sight and turn back into the house.

“What answer were you hoping to get from him?” Eric asks curiously, following me in.
