The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 79

“We said….”

“No, the um.... the witches?”

“Madame Curie said you were powerful. That she had never seen anything like it. She bound you twice and wouldn't do it again. Fucking bitch!” My fist slams against the table, making Neah jump.

Neah clutches her legs tighter as she stares at me with wide blue eyes.

“She knew the consequences. She wouldn’t bind you a third time. That’s what she meant when she said she wouldn’t do it.” I was furious.

“I thought….” Neah whispers, “I thought she told you the truth.”

“She usually does, eventually.”

‘There are too many trying their luck with us.’ Aero murmurs. ‘We need to remind them who the top Wolf is!’

Glancing over at Neah, her face rested on her knees and her eyes had closed.

‘Is she asleep?’ Aero asks

“Neah?” I had just been talking to her.

She doesn’t stir as I try waking her.

‘She’s been sleeping a lot lately.’ Aero mutters. ‘Have you noticed that?’

‘She’s probably still adapting to life here. She was exhausted. Her body is just playing catch up.’

‘Who are you trying to bullshit? You’ve been asking her if she feels okay for days now!’

Placing the back of my hand against her forehead, I feel the extreme heat she is giving off. It was new, I hadn’t felt it when I had my arm around her.

“Neah?” She still doesn’t stir

“Neah?” I try shaking her shoulders to wake her. Her legs fall down as her head rolls back, Her heart is beating just as steady as ever. It didn’t make sense why she wasn't waking up

‘RAVEN!’ I link my sister, demanding that she comes straight away. She arrives in minutes and quickly tends to Neah.

Checking her over, she tells me that she can find nothing wrong.

“Then tell me, why is my mate burning up?”

“I don’t know.” She frantically rolls up Neah’s sleeves, investigating her arms
