The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 63

“What kind of book are you looking for?” I ask, thinking that if he gave me a description of the cover, I would be able to help him find it.

There’s no answer.

Turning around, I don’t see him and my heart skips a beat.

“Klaus?”

Still nothing.

Racing between the shelves, I call out to him. There is still no answer, in fact there doesn’t seem to be anyone else here,

“KLAUS?” I was desperate. My heart starts to race, my breathing quickened as I weakly call out his name again.

Turning up the final aisle, I freeze. Cassandra stood perfectly still. A smug smile on her face. Her arms folded just under her chest as she grins at me.

“So the rat has found her voice.”

Just behind her, I see a foot poking out. A large boot that looked like the ones Klaus wears. A thick iron scent was slowly filling the air around me.

“Did….did you kill him?”

She turns and kicks him in the side and he doesn’t make a sound.

“The Alpha let you out then.” Her eyes settle on the mark on my neck.

“I’m not…I’m not alone.” I splutter

“Oh I know, but they aren’t here with you now, are they?! It's just us.” She combs her fingers through her long blonde hair. “And where is the good old Alpha Dane? If you are his contract bride, I’m surprised he let you out with these idiots.”

“Where’s…..where’s Trey?”

“That is Alpha Trey to you!” She spits, “And it is none of your business.”

“This is neutral territory…..You….they won’t like you here.” I glance at Klaus’s foot which is moving a little. “They have their own rules.”

“Do you think I care about that? You are the reason my brother is dead!”

“And you are the reason my parents are dead!” My abrupt response takes me by surprise.
