The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 87

Neah

He spends hours making sure I have everything I need. Snacks, drinks, blankets and sometimes, he would just lay with me. Ensuring that I was comfortable, trailing his fingers along my skin

The cramps had stopped the moment I orgasmed and I’m still not entirely sure what came over me, or why I took control in the shower like I did. In that moment, it was like something else had taken over my body.

“Neah?” He murmurs my name, rousing me from my sleepy state. “I have to go, it’s almost time for the pack run.”

“Okay,” I yawn, letting go of him.

“There will be guards on the house at all times. And your brother will be here too. He has agreed to stay.”

I yawn again, nodding as I pull a pillow against my chest. The pack run was a big thing here, I wasn’t going to ask him to stay.

“Are you sure you will be alright?” He presses his lips to my cheek

“I will just sleep, I think.”

“I will let Devon know.”

There is a small frown on his face, but he doesn’t say anything other than telling me that he will see me in the morning.

By midnight, I am wide awake. The full moon is high in the sky but I had this bad feeling. A sinking feeling, heavy inside of me. I couldn’t put my finger on what it was, I just knew something wasn’t right.

There’s a frantic knock on my door. “Neah turn your fucking lights off and let me in!” Devon whisper shouts through the door.

“What’s wrong?” I mutter, opening the door to a naked Devon.

I covered my eyes, because seeing my brother this way was not something that I needed. Nor did I want it permanently etched in my mind.

He slams the door shut behind him and quickly hits the light switch, plunging us into darkness. His hand grabs mine. “You can see me, right?” He whispers

I nod. Though I still wasn’t used to being able to see so clearly in the dark.

“Why are you naked?” I match his whisper
