The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 189

Klaus has his head buried in books. He smiles at me as I plonk myself on the chair. His long dark hair falling around his face. He is quick to tuck it back, letting his deep green eyes catch mine, “You okay?”

“Frustrated.” I mutter

“We both know if there was something wrong with Damien, you would have felt it.”

“It’s not that.”

He tilts his head and smirks at me. “Really?”

“I just have a bad feeling.”

“About what?”

“That’s the problem. I don’t really know.”

“You are in a mood, but you don’t know why?”

“Exactly.” I let myself slope against the backrest. “Did you know Dane has asked Mallory to join in the training today?”

Klaus bobs his head at me. “It was actually my idea.”

“Yours?” I splutter in surprise

“Look, she is in the house the entire time and as much as Neah has accepted her help with her other problem, she feels caged in by Mallory. Dane wants Neah to have a break and this is the best way.”

“So you are sending her to training and have told her it’s so she can protect Neah.”

“We never told her that.” He scowls at me. “Maybe she just got the wrong idea of what's being asked of her.” He pauses. “Maybe she made a mistake. Maybe she misunderstood.”

He was probably right, though it sounded as if he was trying to convince himself. Mallory had spent most nights telling me how she was grateful that Neah was finally talking to her. Maybe she had just misheard.

“You miss him?"
