The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 164

Raven

“Wait." It was alot of inforamtion in the space of a minute. "I have a million questions. So it wasn’t because he was your brother?”

“It was both.” Damien mutters back. “If he hadn’t been my brother, I still would have been able to track him.”

“I didn’t think Lycans had a scent when they shift.” I glance at Neah who still has her head down. A deep frown etched into her brow. “I thought you found me, because of me?”

In the second that those final words left my mouth, I knew I sounded needy, and in front of everyone. Midnight laughs which does not help.

Damien stares at me with those dark eyes and I fight the blush creeping up my neck.

“Of course we do. It’s just subtle.” Damien replies. "But nevertheless, it is there."

“Subtle?” Dane asks

“I don’t know what else to tell you, Dane. Would you rather I had not been able to scent my brother?”

“Of course I’m not saying that.” Dane snaps.

“Alpha Neah, tell them. Tell them that we have a scent in Lycan form.” Damien looks for confirmation but Neah is staring at her stomach.

Gently nudging her, she looks up and blinks a few times as though she is trying to remember the conversation. “I can’t smell them. Why didn’t you tell me I was carrying Lycans?”

Damien tilts his head to one side. “I thought you already knew.”

Neah opens her mouth to say something. Not a single word leaves her lips. Instead, she gets up and hurries out of the room, Dane following closely behind.

“To us, they have a Wolf’s scent, but only if they are in human form.” Eric tells him. “When they shift, we can’t scent them.”

“And the Alpha? Is what she saying true?”

“Yes.” Klaus replies

“She tracked me in the forest, better than Dane and you.” Damien gestures at Klaus. "She had to have known."

Eric shakes his head. “Though she spoke of how her legs carried her through the forest to find you. That she had no clue where she was going, just a feeling. Nothing to do with scenting you. Although she can now, because you have pledged your loyalty to her.”
