The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 83

“Go ahead,” I mutter, “It can’t hurt.”

As Klaus reads to her. I watch for any signs that she could hear him, but there is little more than a finger twitch here and there. But it did seem to be bringing her peace. Her mnd wasn't so hectic.

Footsteps echo in the hallway as feet come running towards us. Klaus and I quickly move to the end of Neah’s bed, blocking her from view just as Devon crashes in through the door.

“Is she okay? Please tell me she is okay!”

I take a step to the side so that he could see her.

“Who the fuck did this? Was it that fucking blonde bitch?”

“Yes.” Klaus answers when I find myself unable to answer. Devon's reactins are strong, similar to how I would protect my sister

“I will kill her!”

“You are a little behind. Dane already had her killed.” Klaus tells him

He moves around me to get closer to Neah, taking her hand in his. “Why won’t she wake up?”

“We don’t know.” Klaus mutters while watching me. “She has had an antidote, all her vitals are good. I think that after years of abuse, her brain has shut down, just temporarily, to recover.”

“Where’s Eric?” I mutter,

“He went to check on his boys. Today, made him realise alot of things."

My eyes narrow, “Why didn’t he answer me when I linked him?”

“We ran into a spot of trouble.”

“In the city?”

“It looks like you were right. He is creating more Lycans. They were waiting for us.”

As the light catches his skin, I notice old stains of blood that hadn’t been wiped away properly.

No one from my businesses had informed me that they were having problems.

“Where too in the city?”

“Eric called it the Southbank, you know, down by the river that passes through. We were attacked, we killed as many as we could. There was no sign of Trey or Cassandra anywhere.”
