The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 136

I point to Greg.

Damien strides over to him, ripping him up off the ground. He sinks his teeth into Greg’s throat and tears it out. Tossing Greg away like he was nothing as he spits out the throat. “The Rogues will find him later.”

Damien’s eyes scan Jess as she hugs me. “Cassandra really turned someone so young.”

I nod, “But old enough to be able to shift.”

“She needs shooting.”

“She’s already dead.” I reply

“You killed her?”

“No, my mate. She ripped her heart out.”

He chuckles, “Your mate is smart.”

“She’s the Alpha.” Jess whispers from my chest.

Damien suddenly looks up and out into the corn. “You need to move. They have picked up the scent of fresh blood.” His dark eyes move to Mallory. “Take them to the house. I will meet you there.” Damien presses his lips to her forehead before taking off into the corn.

“Jess, go with Mallory. I will get Jenson.”

I haul my brother up onto my shoulder. Damien must have hit him with a decent force to knock him out.

By the time we make it back to the car, he is stirring. “Jess.” He mumbles.

“Jess is safe. You will see her in a minute.” I mutter just as he crashes out again

“Come on!” Mallory shouts. “If they catch your scent, I won’t be able to stop them.”

The car speeds away, the moment I close the door. Mallory doesn’t take us back in the direction we came, but she carries on north.

“He said take us to the house!” I snap

“I heard. He isn’t talking about the shit pit you hid out in!”

Jess spins in her seat to look at me. Her soft blue eyes are wide. “He kidnapped me! Alpha Greg took me!”

“I know. I’m sorry. I was so busy protecting Neah, we all were. I didn’t think you would be harmed.”

“Why? I did nothing to him.”

“He kidnapped you for his brother.”

“Alpha Roan?”

I nod

He looks towards the stairs, his voice dropping to a whisper. “Take Mallory with you.”

“She doesn’t want that. She doesn’t want to be part of a pack.”

“He’s right!” Mallory moves down the stairs towards us in a fresh set of clothes. She had tied up her blonde hair too. “This is my home. And I am not leaving without you, Damien”

“I need to stay to make sure the other Rogues stay put. You don’t belong here anymore.”

“This is my home!” There is so much rage in her eyes. But she softens the longer he stares back at her. “They are getting restless, aren’t they?”

He frowns as he nods, “Food is becoming sparse for them, That one wolf won’t be enough for all of them. They are turning on each other. Three have died in the last week.” Damien tells her.

“Really?” Mallory whispers, slowly sitting down. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I didn’t want to worry you. Mallory, they are on the verge of turning on us.” Damien tells her.

“You are going to kill them?” I ask

Damien nods. “It needs to be done.”

“It was supposed to be a safe place for them. After what she did to us.” Mallory groans

“It was, once.” He moves over to her. “Go with the Wolf. Go see the female Lycan. Apologise to her. If I survive, I will come find you. If I don’t, then you will need help to take the Rogues down.”
