The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 54

Dane

“It wasn’t a test.” I murmur.

“What….what was it?” She continues to frown at me.

“He is the best tutor I could find for you. And the only one who I know that will not lay a hand on you. I need to know that you will be able to have sessions with him without me present. As much as I enjoy watching you figure things out. I have a pack to run. And I still need to figure out where Trey and Cassandra disappeared too.”

Her frown retreats.

“Not everyone is out to hurt you Neah.”

“He….he asked me why I was bound.”

“I know. I heard.”

“Is that okay ....I mean, what I told him? Should I… I have told him more?”

“You didn’t lie.” I smile at her. “But I do think it is time for me to have a pack meeting and tell everyone. If you shift, Neah, and I am not around…..” I trail off as I look into her blue eyes. She feared people knowing what she is. She feared their response.

“I won’t shift.”

“Unfortunately, you can’t guarantee that. Devon said there are a lot of similarities. You most likely won’t be able to control the first time. It will happen when you least expect it. And honestly, I thought you would have shifted when you saw Veronica.”

“Oh.” Her blue eyes start to glisten with tears

She hadn’t asked me much about shifting. And from her reaction, I could tell that she hoped to be able to control it so that it would never happen.

“Come, you must be hungry.” I murmur before her panic has a chance to truly take over.

She nods her head and takes my hand, silently walking with me into the house.

“Go on through to the kitchen, I just need to check on something.” I could smell Veronica in my office and didn’t want Neah to be anywhere near her.

‘What the fuck does she want now? We made ourselves clear.’ Aero mutters. He just wanted to be with Neah and so did I. I was very aware that she could come into heat at any moment.

Reluctantly, Neah lets go of my hand and heads in the direction of the kitchen.
