The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 75

He smiles at me, “But look at you now.”

“I’m still small.” I whisper. I was in comparison to the other women in the pack

“What I’m saying, Neah, is that you shouldn’t have even survived the journey here, yet somehow you did.”

“Because I’m a Lycan?”

“Maybe. Maybe it’s that you were with your true mate. Maybe it’s because you have more of a thirst for life than you believe. Maybe you survived because you are something that the world needs.”

“Devon’s got in your head!” I mutter

“Maybe he just opened my eyes a little.”

“What…what does that mean?”

“It’s no secret there are more than humans and Wolves in the world. And if we look at it that way, we shouldn’t be surprised when something else makes an appearance.”

“Me?”

He nods. “We did fuck up, we went into this agreement blind. We should have done more research, we should have questioned Trey more. Dane probably would have if he wasn’t so interested in you.”

“You blame me?”

“No in the slightest. I enjoy a good war, no matter how they come about.”

A war was the last thing I wanted.

“Would you like to speak to Devon? I can take you to him if you like.”

“Alpha Dane won’t like that.”

“Then why did he suggest it?”

I nod

“Trey, Cassandra, whoever it was probably hoped it would kill you and yet you survived.”

“If they wanted her dead, why didn’t they just kill her?” Beta Eric asks

“I don’t know, I've been trying to figure it out for years. If it was anyone else, they would have just killed their problem, right? That’s what Alpha Dane would do here, right? And other packs too. So there must have been some kind of benefit of keeping you alive.

“It can’t be because Neah is an Alpha.” Beta Eric murmurs.

Beta Eric’s eyes flashed up behind me, just as Alpha Danes' strong woody scent hits me.

“You are right.” His crimson eyes lock on mine “It’s because you are able to carry the next Alpha.”
