The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 535

“Do you think he will start a war if he doesn’t get what he wants?” She asks

“He has Wolves and Lycans. But so do we.”

“Well you look better than the last time I saw you.” Silas tells me as Damien pushes him into the room. His crimson eyes move to Samara. “And who is this?”

“Serkans other granddaughter.” I tell him

He frowns a little, his eyes dancing between us, “Amelia’s daughter?”

“You knew my mother?” Samara stares at him

He dips his chin

“Do you know how she died?”

“Yes.” He tells her.

She stares at him expectantly, but he just stares back with his mouth firmly closed.

“Can you tell me?” Samara pushes.

“I’m not sure if you are ready to hear what happened. You are hard to read.”

“Serkan killed his own daughter.” I mutter.

Silas clenches his jaw. It was easy enough to make the connection, otherwise he would have just told her.

“He killed his daughter? Why?” Samara asks. There is no emotion in her question. But then she had also not met her mother.

He runs a hand through his dark hair. It’s a little longer than Danes but not much. “I believe Amelia was part of a plot to overthrow Serkan. It was a long time ago and the details are vague. You know how stories are. Over time details are added, some are removed and it’s not always the clear picture that it once was.”

“You don’t think it was a plot?”

“I was in my late teens. Do you think I was interested?” He cocks an eyebrow at me

“But you studied Kitson history.”

“I did…. Amelia was removed from it.”

“Removed?” Damien leans against a nearby wall, watching Silas carefully

Amelia’s name was still in that book I took from Moonshine. Which had been in the house when it burned down. Erased from history. Maybe she was someone I could learn from. Why had she wanted to get rid of her father?

Silas dips his chin again. “Even though Amelia was his biological daughter. He decided that he no longer considered her to be once she tried to have him killed. She was removed and no one ever saw her again.”

“So she could be alive?” Dane asks

Dane studies him. “You said he is an old man.”

“He is.”

“So what benefit does he gain from murdering my mate?”

I study him. “How does Serkan know Cooper?”

“I don’t know. Now and again he would appear. Meetings were kept between them. He would stay for maybe a day at a time, and then not return for months.”

“Were you aware of this?” I ask Samara

“No.”

“Why would she know?” Silas asks

“Cooper was my half brother.”

“He was Amelia’s? I thought she only had one pup?”

“No, different mothers.” She glides her tongue over her lips. “Would Serkan have a need for a Witch?”
