The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 208

Neah

“My Daddy said that you are not like me.” Dorothy mutters with her face scrunched up as she doodles.

Damien was back and was currently in the office with Dane. Raven had come to find us but was now moving back and forth, chewing on a hang nail.

I eye her suspiciously, while Dorothy keeps asking me questions

“No Dorothy, I’m not like you. I’m like Damien.”

“Daddy?”

I nod as she wrinkles her face up. As far as I was aware Damien hadn’t told her he was a Lycan.

“Raven.”

She freezes and looks at me. “I can’t talk about it,” she murmurs

“Did you…. Did you see Salem?” It was still worrying that no one had seen him. Maybe someone had killed him and I wouldn’t have to deal with that anymore. That would be a miracle.

“No.” She answers at lightning speed

“Who’s Salem?” Dorothy asks from the kitchen table.

She was still busy doodling but was obviously listening.

“You don’t need to worry about that.” I smile

Raven glares at me, but what did she want me to do? Tell the six year old that the monster that killed all the people holding her hostage was Salem?

“Grown up stuff.” I add. She shrugs her shoulders and scribbles harder.

“Okay….okay… I can’t take this anymore.” She runs her hands through her dark hair, chewing on her bottom lip as she stares at me. “I saw Jenson.”

“Oh, is… is he okay?”

“I don’t know. I didn’t speak to him.”

I was about to hug her. I knew she had struggled with the loss of her twin and was still struggling. Even if she would never admit it.
