The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 181

Neah

“How can I not remember, Raven? That makes absolutely no sense.”

“Maybe you got confused. Maybe you lost track of time.”

“You don’t believe that. Damien must have said something to you.” I mutter. I was out of the chair and pacing. Somehow, pacing has become the thing that helps me think.

“What does Nyx say?” Raven asks quietly. Her eyes follow me as I move around the room.

“She thinks you are all lying to me. But you can’t all be, can you? It’s not like Moonshine where they kept secrets from me. You would tell me the truth, wouldn’t you?”

Raven nods her head

I lower myself down onto the edge of the bed. “There’s a darkness inside of me, Raven. It’s like, in the moment, I can’t control it. Like it takes over and once whatever needs to be done is done, the darkness fades like it was never even there. Does that make sense?”

“I think so. How long has this been happening?”

“Since Devon. Maybe even before, I don't know.”

She rocks on the stool. “Have you told my brother? Does he know?”

“He is aware. But he also never had a problem with it. He enjoyed it. Until now.”

“Dane does enjoy the darker side of life. I think that’s why he gets on so well with Damien.” I see her smile and I am truly happy for her, but Dane and Damien being friends was not the issue right now.

“Raven, I’m scared. What if they are right? What if I am too far gone? What if it’s too late?” I glance down at my bump. “What about them?”

“That’s a lot of questions to answer.” She was deflecting.

“What else has Damien told you?”

Her shoulders drop as she frowns. “According to Damien, if you, you know….become Rogue, they won’t survive.”

“The twins will die?” I scoff

She nods her head at me
