The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 539

Dane

Damien returned Silas back to the beach, but not before Silas gave us his contact number. He agreed that if Serkan was to reach out to him, he would let us know and we would let him know when we are ready to go ahead with the plan.

“Do you believe him?” Samara asks

“Unfortunately, yes.” I tell her, though I knew Neah wasn’t so sure.

“His mate is a Witch.” Samara frowns

“Yes. He could have lied about that. He could have said it was another Wolf, even a Lycan considering he has already told us that Lycans and Wolves have been getting together for a long time in White Cliffs. Yet he chose to tell us what she is.”

“And what about the fire?” Samara’s eyes are wide. “She can control fire. Even Coop would have been impressed with that.”

“Maybe a fire is why he only has one child.” Neah murmurs. “You heard him, she hasn’t used her fire power in years. His pup is three.”

“I could have asked more, but you didn’t want me too.” I remind her.

“You didn’t see the way he tensed up when he mentioned it. It was barely visible but it was there. His spine straightened a little. His jaw clenched a little tighter.” She sighs. “He shows the same signs of irritation as you.”

“As me?”

She bobs her head. “It’s scary how similar the pair of you are. Even Jenson and Raven were not that similar.”

“You don’t need to worry about that.” I lean down to kiss her but she unexpectedly pulls back. I try to read her mind but Nyx has sealed that off from me.

“What’s wrong?” I press.

Her eyes search mine but she doesn’t speak. Suddenly lowering her gaze, she shakes her head at me. "It's nothing."

‘Why is she acting this way?’ Aero mutters. ‘I don’t understand.’

‘The only thing I can think of is that she sees the same thing that happened between Jenson and Raven happening to Silas and myself. She killed Raven because no one else could do it.’

I study my mate but she keeps her eyes low.

"Then tell Nyx not block me out."

"I..."

“If something happens…”

“It won’t.”

“Dane, if something happens to….

“Stop.”
