The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 24

Neah

In the kitchen, I find Raven shovelling food in her mouth. Her dark eyes were tearful and her face blotchy from holding back the tears.

“Aren’t you supposed to be in your room!” She snaps at me

“I was…. I’m hungry and um…. Alpha Dane said that if I ever was, I could… help myself.” I stutter. Raven had never been short tempered with me. “Are you okay?” I ask quietly.

“Jenson has been banished.” she splutters and the tears break free.

“Oh,” I puff out my cheeks as I think of some words of reassurance, but all I could come up with was an apology.

Her dark eyes linger on my face. “It’s not because of you. It’s because he is an idiot. I warned him so many times that Dane would only put up with it for so long. And I’m trying not to cry, but Midnight is grieving for her twin and I can’t control it.”

“Your wolf?” I couldn’t remember if it was her or Alpha Dane who had told me the name of her Wolf.

“Yes, because not only are Jenson and I twins, the Wolves we were gifted by the Moon Goddess are twins too. Midnight knows it was his own fault but still she sobs.”

Slipping into a seat opposite her, I frown. I didn’t understand the separate Wolf thing. None of Moonshine had them, well not that I knew of. But then, it wasn’t like they told me anything.

“Can I ask you something?”

“As long as it’s not about Jenson.”

“Is it normal to have another voice, your Wolf, like living inside your head?”

She tilts her head to one side as she stares at me. “We all have one. Well, not you, but we all have one. When we shift, they take over and we become a voice to them. It’s a spiritual thing. Surely you know that.”

I had already sort of mentioned it to Dane, but alot was going on and I hadn’t brought it up again.
