The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 28

Neah

I was having some sort of flashback. The memory wasn’t quite clear but I could hear Luna Cassandra’s voice.

‘It’s so hot today, isn’t it, Neah?” There was a cheery tone to her voice as she helped me make the lemonade. She had let me stand on a chair at the kitchen counter, helping her. A second jug sat on the counter with some leaves sitting in the bottom.

“What’s that, Cassie?”

“I thought we could make some extra. Everyone loves lemonade on a day like this.”

The memory jumps forward to me offering the jug to my parents. I had stood and watched as they poured themselves a drink and toasted to something. Then there was chaos.

People were shouting and screaming as someone grabbed my arms and dragged me away. Before I was out of sight, I saw the blood pour from my parents eyes, nose and mouth. They had desperately clawed at their faces.

“Neah, what did you do?!”

"I don't know." I could hear my own fear in my young voice

“Cassie, I didn’t mean to. I’m sorry, will they be okay?”

Her face hardened as her green eyes became slits. “My name is Cassandra and you, you stupid girl, just killed your parents.”

I blink a few times, coming back to reality. Just as I look up, Kyle is walking through the door.

“Sorry. I had to deal with some things.” His dark eyes find me. “Decided to bring her back then? To much of a pain?” He muses

“Just sit down!” My brother snaps.

It was just so unlike Trey. He never got snarky with his mate or his Beta.

“We have told them the truth about my parents.” Trey continues. “It was time for the truth to come out.”

“If it even is the truth.” Alpha Dane snaps

I follow his instructions and don’t say anything. I will tell him about my flashback later, hopefully he won’t be too angry.

“I’m also here to make sure you reject her correctly.” Alpha Dane tells Kyle

Everyone looks at him. There was even surprise on Luna Cassandra’s face, but not on my brothers. My brother still knew we were connected.
