The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 93

“Okay, then just show them the mark.” He states as though that was it. I thought that would be the answer too, but Alpha Dane said it’s not as simple as that. If they find a way to kill him first, I would be free from my bonds. The same as when he killed Kyle.

Alpha Dane tells him exactly that.

“For argument's sake, let's say they do find a way to kill you.” He mutters to Alpha Dane “Why are they so hellbent about putting a pup in her? Surely there are other females in the pack.”

“She doesn’t just carry Alpha blood, she is an Alpha!”

Jenson’s dark eyes find me again, hovering on me for longer than before. I shift in my seat, and lower my gaze.

‘Prick!’ Nyx snaps

“I will help.” He mutters eventually. “Like you said, Dane. This is my home too.”

He swans from the office, muttering something about taking up his own room.

“You didn’t tell him.” I whisper

“About Nyx? No, I thought it would be more interesting to see how you respond to him, now that you have another spirit residing in you.”

“You mean you want Nyx to surprise him?”

He smiles. The first proper smile I had seen in days. “It might remind him to stay in his own lane.”

“Someone will tell him, it’s not a secret.”

“Perhaps, or maybe they will expect him to know. What did she think of him?”

“She called him a prick.”

Alpha Dane laughs. “Finally a female who can see right through him.”

He leans back in the desk chair, folding his arms across his chest. “I know I haven’t been easy to live with for the last few days. But something like this just doesn’t happen to my pack.”

“I know and I’m so….”

He holds a hand up, stopping me from finishing my sentence. “You have to stop apologising, Neah. I know you are sorry, but you can’t feel guilt for something that was out of your control. I was the one who put you in that situation. I left you with just a few guards and the man who claimed to be your brother. You have to stop blaming yourself.”
