The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 30

Neah had fallen asleep by the time we got back. I had watched her shoulders judder as she silently cried, while keeping her back facing me. I had chosen to keep silent, not knowing what to say or do to make her feel better. Even Aero was at a loss.

Picking her up, I carry her inside. She doesn’t stir, she doesn’t make a sound as I observe her blotchy red face.

‘Do you think she is crying over him?’ Aero asks

‘I don’t know. She said she had felt nothing. A delayed reaction maybe, you know, because of the binding?’

‘We could tell her she is our mate, we can claim her now. She is free of that areshole.’

‘No, I think that is the last thing she will want to hear.’

Putting her on the bed, I take her boots off and she instinctively pulls her knees to her chest, letting out a little snuffly sound as she always deos when sleeping.

I watch her for a little while until I get a link from Eric. ‘We need to talk!’

He sounded urgent. Maybe the hunting party had found something.

‘Office.’ I link him.

‘You are going to want to meet me outside for this. We will be arriving in about ten minutes.’

‘What the hell is that about?’ Aero asks when Eric cuts the link.

‘I guess we will find out!’ I snap back at him.

With one final check of Neah, I make my way down the stairs and through to the front of the house. Within a few minutes, a line of vehicles started to arrive, all creating a blockade in front of the house as though Eric didn’t want the rest of the pack to see.

He jumps out of the vehicle that comes to a stop right in front of me.

“Did you find them?” I ask and he shakes his head
