The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 230

Blair

I was expecting his dark eyes to be wide with my announcement. Instead he just stares at me like I have just asked him if he had a good day.

“Are you not going to say anything?” I demand.

“What do you want me to say?”

“This isn’t one of those times where you wait for my instructions, or you need to follow my orders. I just gave you the answer to why I don’t shift. Why I mentioned losing control. Why I find it easy to kill Rogues, well, kill anyone. And now you are just staring at me!"

He continues to watch me.

“There have been hints for months and you have been too dumb to see it!” I snap, sudden rage boiling through me. This is why I never let anyone get close. I never wanted them to figure it out, but Jenson has been here for months and he still hasn't figured it out.

“Dumb?” He cocks an eyebrow at me

“It’s fine. Just pack your things and go.” I hide any emotion that I’m feeling. I knew it would come to this and I had been prepared for this moment since he snaked his way into my heart.

He gets to his feet and doesn’t move any further. He jams his hands into his pockets. I was expecting his heart to be thundering in his chest. A Rogue had killed his mate. That’s what had led him to me.

“I knew the moment you sniffed out Damien. I’ve just been waiting for you to tell me.”

“What? That was months ago!”

“Damien once said being Rogue heightens your senses, allowing you to sniff out other Lycans, differentiating them from the Wolves. You sniffed him out when he followed me. You knew he was there when I didn’t. I knew then that at some point in your life you had been a Rogue.”

It takes a lot to surprise me, but he has my jaw hanging open.
