The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 205

Dane

“Please tell me this is some sort of joke.” I growl as Damien stares at me in my office. He was only going to get things for Dorothy.

‘It has to be.’ Aero mumbles. ‘Jenson would be a fool to stay this close. Surely Aspen wouldn’t be on board with this.’

I sigh. ‘He probably is. Aspen lost Jess too.’

“I know what I saw Dane.” Damien interrupts the conversation with my Wolf. “I knew I was right. I knew there were more out there.” He mutters. “I didn’t need a fucking book to prove I was right.”

I held my hands up to silence him as I tried to understand what Jenson was doing. “Okay, so he has hooked up with another Lycan. Why is that a problem for us?”

“I already know you are not going to like what I have to say.” He mutters

“Say it anyway.” I snap

“You told me everything Neah went through growing up. Explaining it is why she is who she is.”

“Yes, but….”

He cuts me off, “Does she have any siblings?”

I scowl at him, surprised by the question. “No. What does that......”

“Are you absolutely sure?”

I was getting ready to hit him for continuously cutting me off mid sentence.

“No she hasn’t. I told you about the guy who claimed to be her brother.”

“Trey, yes, but you said that you found out he was her uncle.”

I nod. “Then there was also a guy called Devon who claimed to be her brother. It turned out to be a lie. He was in fact bitten by Cassandra or maybe Trey, I can’t quite remember. Neah killed him. But what does that have to do with this?”

His dark eyes lock with mine. He rubs his hand through his stubble as he thinks of what to say, “The woman, she looked like her.”

‘That doesn’t mean anything.’ Aero shrugs

“That doesn’t make them siblings.” I tell Damien

“Normally, I would agreed. Yet the only difference between them that I could see was the colour of her eyes. Dane, other than that, they look pretty identical.”

I shake my head, “You must be imagining things.”

“I know what I saw.”

“Did Raven see her?”

“No.” He sighs, “She didn’t want to speak to him so she stayed in the car while I followed. Dane, I’m telling you, I know what I saw. He went to her, panicking because he knew we had seen him and then they got in a car and left.”

“What were they saying?”

“I don’t know.” He shakes his head. “I was too caught up in trying to figure out who she was. When I saw her face, I was surprised.”

“Older or younger?”

“Impossible to tell. Why does that matter?”

‘Are we believing this?’ Aero asks.

‘I don’t know. He doesn’t have a reason to lie.’

“Well if this woman is older, I’m sure Neah would remember her. Not only that, it would show that they aren’t siblings because otherwise, that woman would be the female Alpha, not Neah. And we all know she is the Alpha. You can’t deny that.”
