The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 166

Dane

“You said….”

“I know Dane. I know exactly what I said.” Damien snaps back at me. A deep frown etched into his face. “He has never wanted to shift back. I didn’t think it was even possible. Do you know how hard it was for me?”

“What do you mean?” Raven asks

“I told you that it wasn’t easy. That the process took time. I would find I had shifted in my sleep. Waking up in Lycan form in the middle of the corn field. It’s not easy to just shift back. Not once you see yourself as a monster.”

“Just full of secrets aren’t you!” Jenson mutters as he shoves Damien out the way.

Dropping down to the floor, he pulls Jess’s lifeless body into his arms. I could see from his face that he was broken. The last true loss he had experienced was our parents. Anything in between then and now had never bothered him.

‘We will need to keep an eye on him.’ Aero rumbles.

‘Agree.’ I mutter back.

‘Maybe this is what he needs.’ Aero adds

‘What are you talking about?’

‘He has only ever cared about himself his entire life.’

‘That’s a bit harsh. How would you feel if Neah…..’ Shit, Neah. I link some of the guards and ask them to station themselves around the house.

“Let's say he has got out." Though it wouldn't have been like he could just walk out. "How did he shift?” I ask Damien

“I don’t know. He hasn’t been in human form for over a year. And like I said, he has never wanted to shift back. Trust me, I tried to help him. Mallory did to you. He has never wanted it. The only thing I can think of is that he has actually been shifting for some time. That he has just kept it quiet.”

‘Dane,’ Klaus’s voice fills my head. ‘He’s gone.’

‘What?’

‘He isn’t here and according to Roan, he did indeed shift to human form.’
