The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 51

Neah

“Y…you said you killed them.” It wasn’t my place to ask questions. But he had clearly kept her alive and if she was here to kill me, I wanted to know why she was the only one to survive.

“I did.”

“But not her?” I frown, confused. He was deliberately dragging it out.

“There was never a reason to kill her. I told you, some of the other brides ran. Some of them were trying to dig up information on me. She wasn’t clingy, she wasn’t desperate for my attention, though that has clearly changed. Veronica didn’t do anything wrong, in fact she was very on board with the arrangement. It was me who grew tired of her.”

“She killed her true mate.”

“He wasn’t part of this pack.”

“She betrayed her own family.”

“I see Raven told you everything she knew.” He stares at me from across the table.

"Yes."

“Veronica's family had an agenda. Just like Trey, they gave her away for the contract. The only difference is, they made it look like it was the worst thing that could possibly happen to them. Yet, all along they had planned to hand her over. They wanted me dead and needed inside information to be able to do that. Veronica figured it out. So yes, you could say she betrayed them, but she brought the truth to the surface. It takes a lot for someone to betray their own family.”

“You let her live because she helped you to live.”

“It was the least I could do.”
