The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 588

Neah

“You’re not joking either, are you?” I couldn’t believe what Dane had just told me.

“No,” Dane mutters. “I wish I was.”

“Let me make sure I have this right. Klaus has found his mate, and they are now in White Cliffs with Brax. Thalia has some sort of weird hold over everyone there. Brax has found Silas’s true mate, and now you are also telling me that Amelia is somehow alive?”

His crimson eyes don’t leave mine as he nods. I know he is trying to figure out what was happening in my head.

‘And the news just keeps coming.’ Nyx tuts.

“How bad is it?” I ask Dane

“From what I gather, pretty fucking bad. They are currently trapped inside a castle. Klaus is dropping me bits of information when he can.”

“And they are hundreds of miles away with no help,” I whisper so I don’t wake the girls

“I’m not happy about it either.”

“What about Serkan? We haven’t seen or heard anything since that night at the gas station. Any mention of him. Is he back in White Cliffs?”

“No. He could possibly be in hiding while he tries to figure out his next move or while he waits to hear from Thalia. As expected, Serkan and Thalia are working together.”

“Well, that’s hardly a surprise.” I groan

“And he may not actually be your grandfather.”

‘What?’ Nyx echoes my thoughts

“Serkan is my grandfather. It’s in the family tree. Both in the one Klaus made for me and the one I took from Moonshine.”

“It’s not him. Well, that’s what Klaus thinks.”

He watches me as the words sink in. “Another imposter?”

“Indy.” Dane continues to watch me

“And I will tell Samara about Amelia. It’s only fair it comes from me.”

“I don’t think that’s wise.”

“To tell Silas or Samara?”

I could read between the lines. I knew that he was trying to tell me that it was going to be unlikely that any of them would make it out of White Cliffs alive, so it was better not to tell the others the truth.

I had to find a way to help.

Dane’s hands settle on my shoulders, his lips close to my ear. “They are not stupid. They will fight until they draw their last breaths. They will take down as many enemies as they can.”
