The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 131

“And you need to because you are not going to like what I have to tell you.” He mutters, not quite looking me in the eye

“Neah bolted?”

“Eric and a few others are looking for her. They are trying to find her before Roan does”

Sitting up coughing, I listen to the sirens drawing nearer.

“We have to go.” I mutter as he helps me get to my feet

“You want to go home? What about Jess?”

I shake my head, “We just need to go. I can’t be dealing with humans right now. I need to find somewhere where I can think.”

We move as quickly as we can. When I look down, the wound has completely disappeared like it was never there in the first place. I feel a sense of relief. Death was not something I feared. But now it wasn’t just about me, I had a mate and twins on the way.

We find an abandoned house and drop down on the dusty floor.

“I hate humans.” I mutter.

“Are you talking about the prick that hit us?” Jenson asks quietly

“Who else?”

“It wasn’t a human.” Jenson murmurs. “You were knocked out. The guy stopped, got out of his car and looked in at us. Before laughing and driving away.”

“You are saying it’s a Wolf?”

He nods his head at me. “Who’s territory are we in?”

“It’s not, it’s neutral ground.” I mutter as I close my eyes and try linking Neah again.

“Are you sure?”

“I know every pack from here to Greg’s packland. This is neutral land.”

“I think you might be wrong.”

When I look at him, he is looking past me.

Turning around, I see a large black shadow, crouching at the top of the stairs. Its beady eyes on us. It slowly rises to its full height, moving into the light where we could see it. A Lycan.

It growls at us, drool dripping from its bared teeth.

“Another fucking one!” Jenson snaps and I glare at him.

‘I thought we had killed them all.’ Aero mutters. ‘How did one get away?’

I turn my attention back to the Lycan who hasn’t moved. “We are looking for someone. A girl with red hair. She is like you, but was taken from her home, from her family.”

It growls at us.

“My mate is a female Lycan Alpha.” I try, hoping it would show some form of interest.

It moves away from the top of the stairs, disappearing around the corner and out of sight. A few minutes later, a blonde female takes the Lycan’s place.

“A young girl?” The blonde asks?

“She’s fifteen.”

“Why are you looking for her? You are Wolves.”

“As I said, my mate is a Lycan Alpha. The girl is like her little sister.”

“Please,” Jenson mutters

The blonde looks back at him. “You care for her?”

He doesn’t answer her, but I could see it in his eyes.

“The man who had her kidnapped, he is not a nice man.”

“Who is?!” she snarls

“They want her to produce pups.”

Her eyes narrow to slits. “Didn’t you say she is fifteen?”

“Yes.”

She sucks in her cheeks as she stares at us. “I will help you, Wolf. But I want something in return.”

“What might that be?”

“Money.”

“Seriously?” Jenson interrupts. “She is one of you.”

“I named my reward. Take it or leave it!”

“Deal.” I mutter, holding my blood covered hand out to her.

She shakes it. “You can call me Mallory.”
