The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 231

He pries the keys out of my hand. “I will drive.”

I give in and let him take them. While I slip my feet into some wedges, he asks me where I want to go.

“Just drive.” I mutter and follow him out the front door.

He doesn’t speak as he winds the car through some back roads. He lets my thoughts run wild. Waiting for me to take the lead.

I’m not even sure how far we have travelled when he pulls the car in under some trees, but I could see the sun appearing in the distance.

“Drive!”

“I’ve been driving for hours. We will need fuel if I keep it up.” He mutters.

It was now or never.

“I have spent my life searching for my half sister. To right the wrong that happened to me and my mother. She was impossible to find until recently. All I had to go on was a name and when our kind are hidden from the world, do you know how hard that is?”

He keeps his mouth closed but watches me carefully.

“I developed the desire to kill when I was a teenager and I was damn fucking good at it. It comes naturally. People paid me to get rid of problems. A handy way of earning money while doing the thing I loved at the same time. Do you know how rare that is? Of course you don’t, I'm sure big brother had enough money to get you anything you wanted.”

It was a bad dig, and I knew it was because I was so angry.

“Did Damien ever mention being evil?”

He shakes his head “Honestly, I didn’t spend that much time with him.”

“Shifting and killing does something to Lycans.” I shake my head. “It turns us into even worse monsters than what we already are and sometimes, there is no stopping it.” I sigh. I had never told anyone that before and it was so mentally draining to even think about it.

“You came back from being a monster.” His dark eyes linger on mine

“And one day, I could lose that battle all over again.” He might as well hear the truth now he was learning my secrets.

“How long has it been?”
