The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 121

Dane

I walk into silence. Neah looks as though she is on the verge of tears. Though she clutches her stomach as if she is about to vomit again.

“What…what do you mean?” She mumbles to Madame Curie

“Exactly what I said.” Madame Curie’s eyes flicker up to me. “I cannot give you the answers you are looking for. “

“How much?” I offer, knowing exactly how she works.

She shakes her head at me and pauses. “If I took money from you for this, the answers I would be giving you, will be unsatisfactory and unworthy.” She looks back at Neah. “I am sorry that I played a role in your upbringing.”

“Twice!” I snap

“And I wish that I could give you the information you seek.” She sighs

“You said you wanted to take one last look at me, the Lycan Alpha. What does that mean? Am I dying?” Neah demands

“Everyone is.” She smiles sadly

I shake my head in disbelief, I had known Madame Curie for a long time. “Neah, she is talking about herself.”

“You were always the smartest Alpha, Alpha Dane.” Madame Curie winks at me and turns her attention to my mate. “Yes, he is right, Alpha Neah. I have been around for a long long time and my time is coming to an end.”

"Oh."

“What I can tell you is that your boys will thrive. You just have a journey to get there.”

“That’s all you can tell us?” I ask, watching my mate

“That is all the information I have.” She rises to her feet. “Now if you don’t mind, I would like to enjoy the few days that I have left.”

She turns to leave, “Oh, but there is something else. Your mother was just as sick as you are, for Lycans, that is just how it is. Most likely because of the human essence in them. Try some ginger biscuits. Your appetite will soon return.”

Neah didn’t share anything with me, telling me that it was not for her to say. That Jess had asked her to not talk about it and I respected her choice.

“All you can do is be there for her. Be that person that you needed when you were growing up.” I tell her

There’s a knock on the door and Roan doesn’t even wait for an answer. “What the hell did you say to my witch?”

“One: It’s none of your business. Two: You don’t own her. And Three: you are in my house, watch your fucking tone!” I growl

“I called her here to help with whatever this is.” He waves his hand at my mate. “You wanted answers and now, she has walked away without even looking back. What did you say to her? Or did she tell you that we are all fucked?”

“She is dying.” Neah mutters. “She can’t help you anymore.”

“What the fuck are you talking about?”

“If you keep insisting on talking to my mate like that, I will break your fucking neck!” I growl. “Madame Curie is dying. She has days left. She doesn’t give a crap about you ‘owning’ her.”
