The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 19

Neah

I duck back down. What the hell was it?

I couldn’t bring myself to look again and when there is a knock on the door, I jump.

“Neah. It’s me, you can let me in.” Alpha Dane’s voice comes from the other side

Sitting in silence, I stare at the door as the handle is fumbled with. I didn’t want to move, I didn’t want to leave my safe spot and I was grateful for the bolt on the door.

“Neah, I know you saw. The beast has been dealt with. It’s dead. You don't need to be afraid.”

Pushing myself off the ground, I look out the window. All the Wolves had disappeared from sight along with the monster. I start to move some of the chairs out of the way and slowly slide the lock back.

Alpha Dane pushes his way in through the small gap, easily forcing the rest of the chairs back. His crimson eyes look around the office, but he doesn’t mention the chairs and I was starting to realise that the stack of chairs wouldn’t have really made a difference. He had pushed them back like thay were nothing more than a stack of pillows.

Between shifting back to his human form and coming back to the office, he had found a pair of grey shorts. They hung low on his hips, showing off all his muscles. I find myself looking away, almost embarrassed about the thoughts racing through my mind.

“What…..What was it?” I mutter, trying to force my thoughts elsewhere.

“We don’t know.”

“Y…you don’t?” It shocked me that someone like Alpha Dane didn’t know what the beast was.

He shakes his head. “I have seen a lot of things, but nothing like that.”

“You killed it?”

“It was trying to attack some of the pack. It was the only option.”

“It had a head, like a Wolf.” I mumble

“I know.”
