The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 384

I stay for a few hours, just watching her breathe. Every now and again she would do like a double breath and a tear would leak from her right eye. It was always her right. I wiped away each and every one as I tried to figure out what I wanted to do. I had unexpectedly become a Lycan’s safe person.

If my parents were alive, they would be roasting me.

Dane knocks on the door and Madison stirs a little but doesn’t wake. “How is she doing?”

“Her soul has more cracks than yesterday,” I mutter. “She already had some issues that she was working through.”

“You told me that if they connect, it will tear her apart. Is that close to happening?”

“If more keep appearing.” I comb my fingers through her red waves. “And I don’t know if there is a way to reverse the shit this prick has pulled.”

He frowns. “I need you to do me a favour.”

“Another one.” I cock my brow at him, “I feel like I have done more than enough for you.”

“Samara is being taken to Neah.” He tells me

“And you’re here?”

“She doesn’t want me there.”

“And what’s that got to do with me?” Madison presses herself into me and I squeeze her a little tighter.

“Blair is in the dungeons.”

“You want me to kill her? I will be more than happy too, I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.”

“No.” He pauses. “Out of curiosity, why haven't you just killed her?”

I follow Dane across the grounds to the dungeons. Blair is sitting in the corner of one cell, her hands bound together. Her legs folded up in front of her. She looked broken. It brought a small piece of happiness to my cold heart.

“This is it, isn’t it.” Her brown eyes flicker up to mine. I still found it uncanny how much they looked alike, though the brown eyes and the shock of short black hair made them noticeably different.

“You must be shitting yourself, waiting for death.” I mutter

She squeezes her eyes shut. “I’m ready.”

“He’s not going to kill you.” Dane tells her

“Yet.” I add with a smile, though she doesn’t see it with her eyes screwed tightly shut.

I watch her gulp, her fear is more than evident by the way her body is trembling. She was actually fearing for her life. Interesting.
