The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 554

“Now we have already worked out that was how Serkan has been growing his population. Then you were sent to go and get them.”

“That doesn’t mean my mate was involved.” He tuts. “You are implying that she has tricked me. There is no way she could keep that going for years.”

“Really?” I scoff. “You really don’t think a Witch with the ability to control fire would be involved in something like this? Witches like two things. Power and money. Is she driven by money?”

"No."

"Interesting."

‘Maybe a good clip around the ears will help.’ Aero tuts.

“All I want is my mate and pup. That’s it.” Silas pleads

“She won’t be welcome here.” I tell him

“Just her or all of us?” He scowls at me

“I don’t think that requires an answer.” I lock my eyes on his. “A mate bond is strong. It provides a level of comfort. We are able to see past the surface. Connect with them on a different level to everyone else. Neah is in some sort of deep sleep and where am I? I am here, in the hospital, every day and I will be here every single day until she wakes up. Even in her sleep she feels my presence. Whereas your mate will not even consider that you are telling the truth. Do you know what that tells me?”

He doesn’t speak

“She knows what Serkan is like because she is doing his bidding. Just like how you collected people for him.”

“She’s not bad.” He protests. “Brax will bring her here. Just speak to her. You will know she is on our side.”

“Brax did speak to her. She tried to kill him with fire. Now I know he can be a bit of an asshole and it does take some time to get used to his ways but she didn't hesitate.”

“You’re lying. The same as this idea that my mate killed my other son. What is wrong with you?!”

"Brax isn't a liar. In fact lying is one of his most hated things. That and Rogues."

He rolls his eyes at me.

I couldn’t get through to him. I don’t know why he couldn’t see that his mate was involved.

‘The spell maybe?’ Aero suggests

“She loves me.”

“I don’t see any form of love. She’s cut you off, Silas. The only way you are going to see your son again is if Thalia is dead.”

He glares at me, ripping the door open until it ricochets off the wall. He storms past Neah’s room and out the door.

‘Damien.' I link him 'You need to find your house guest and keep him inside your house.’

‘What has he done now?” Damien replies.

‘I’m sure he will be more than happy to tell you.’
