The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 165

“The point of this conversation was to decide my brother’s fate. Correct?” Damien mutters. “Well that has been decided. So are we done?”

“Yes.” Eric retorts

“Good. If you will excuse me. I have things to do.”

Damien walks around the table and picks up my crutches. Holding them out to me, he doesn’t speak, he just waits.

Slowly getting to my feet, I take them from him. With the smallest of head movements, he gestures to the door.

He walks ahead of me, slowing his pace and allowing time for me to catch up. “Where are we going?”

“Somewhere where it is just you and me.” His voice is low and full of intent.

He leads me to the hospital. It wouldn’t exactly be the place I would have chosen, but at least we would be alone.

As we get close, I see his expression change. The lustful look in his eyes, long gone. “Stay here.”

“Why? I thought….”

“The girl. She is in the hospital.”

“Jess?” I call after him as he hurries on. Why would she be here? She hasn’t had any breakdowns since she first got here.

He pauses when he is standing outside the doors and glances back at me before disappearing inside. Seconds later, there is a gush of air almost knocking me over as my twin charges past me and into the hospital.

Making my way over, I’m hit with the metallic smell of blood and my brother yelling at Damien. “What the fuck did you do to her?!”

“She was already like this.”

“Fucking liar. I told my brother we shouldn’t trust you.” Jenson is pointing a scalpel at Damien.

“Jenson, he was with me.” I shout

“Don’t stick up for the asshole just because he is your mate!”

“You can confirm it with Eric and Klaus. We were in a meeting, talking to Dane. We have literally just left the house.” I plead with him.
