The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 201

Kitson, it was a rare name. Of all the Wolves and the very few Lycans I had come across, Neah was the only one with that surname left.

“An ancestor?” I murmur, turning the brown book over in my hands.

“I would say yes, just by the way he talks about bloodlines. Neah is a female Alpha, her genetics had to come from somewhere.”

“Are the Lycans a threat?”

“I don’t know.” He mutters. “It talks about them rising again, but it was centuries ago, Dane. And all of those would be long dead. So it would be descendents.”

“Damien has always believed there are more out there. Are you telling me that my mate was not just the leader of Moonshine but is the leader of every Lycan out there?”

He nods his head at me.

“Have you told anyone else?”

“No, I came straight here.”

“Good. keep it that way. I need to figure out my next step.”

More Lycans, would they be a threat to our kind? What if there are more like Salem? Too feral to think straight.

“She couldn’t control Salem.” I mutter, “Not completely.”

“Damien told me something about that. It’s something to do with the rejection. Like Jenson, Jenson rejected you as his Alpha and rejected the pack too. It’s likely that Salem did that but possibly long before he met her. I'm not sure anymore. New information is seeping out everywhere.

“Do you really believe that?”

He sucks in his cheeks. “I only really believe what I read and what I see for myself.”

“I need to speak to Damien.”

Klaus follows me upstairs. Knocking on Raven's door, I call out to Damien, only to find him stepping out of the room next door where Dorothy slept now.

He yawns and looks at his watch “A bit early isn’t it?”

I nod to the door he is pulling closed, “She okay?”

“Still a few nightmares. She’s getting there.”

Damien sits in the chair in my office, his legs spread as he leans forward and rests his elbows on his thighs. “So I was right.”

“It seems that way, yes. Why, why did you think there are more?”

“Shortly before I was bitten, Cassandra would talk to me, telling me it was such a shame that I wasn’t a true Lycan. Muttering something about how I would have been a good specimen in the Lycan pool but because I am a bitten Lycan, I wouldn’t be as good as the true thing.” He chuckles. “If only she could see me now.”

“That doesn’t imply there are more.”

“You’re right. But when I questioned her, she didn’t really give me an answer. To me, that suggests there was and is a lot more than I know about. A lot more than any of us know about.”
