The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 31

"Has he said anything?"

“I haven’t gotten any answers out of him yet.” Eric sighs and looks at me. “I think this is what Moonshine Wolves look like.”

“Take him to the dungeons. Make sure he is secured. We will ask questions. Until then, this goes no further!” I snap

“What about Neah?” Eric asks

“What about her?” I glare at him

He closes his mouth, choosing not to answer.

“Take the beast to the dungeons.” I repeat.

Eric bows his head and they load the beast back into the vehicle, driving him off towards the dungeons.

‘She can’t look like that.’ Aero mutters in my head. ‘She just can’t.’

‘Why aren’t you saying anything?’ Aero demands as I move back through the house.

Things were starting to fall into place. The fact I had never heard of Moonshine until the call came. The secretiveness of the pack. How they suddenly disappeared and kept disappearing. How Neah has never seen them in Wolf form. How the beast had been hiding in a tree. The comments Neah had made about getting their Wolves at thirteen.

What if that was what we were missing? They didn’t disappear, they went up and out of sight, hiding high in the trees, knowing that we wouldn’t be able to find them.

I quietly sit in the chair in our bedroom, watching my mate sleep. Was she one of them and just didn’t know it yet? If I find a way to unbind her, is that what she will become?

‘She’s our mate!’ Aero mutters as though that answered all my questions.
