The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 142

Raven

Crap, crap, crap, crap.

My feet carry me back and forth, along the corridor of the hospital. As usual it is quiet and gives me some time to think.

‘Will you just chill.’ My Wolf, Midnight, rolls her eyes at me.

‘I am mated to a Lycan! How can I be chill about that?’

‘Neah is a Lycan.’

‘She’s different. I like her. This guy, he’s friends with Mallory. That’s not a good sign. And look at all the others, they are all assholes! We are right in the middle of some kind of Moon Goddess fuckery!’

Midnight laughs at me. I rarely showed anyone the panic I often felt inside. And thankfully, Midnight was savvy enough to make me appear calm.

‘We could talk to her?’ Midnight suggests

‘Mallory? We can’t do that, it would look like we are not on Neah’s side. And I made it quite clear to Mallory that she is not wanted here.’

‘It might be the only way we get to meet our second chance mate.’

‘And what if he isn’t as good as Salem? What if he is a horrid man? What if he hates us?’

‘Then we cross that bridge when we get to it. The hospital is dead as usual. Go find her!’

Stepping out, I could see Neah and my brother having a bit of a heated argument. Dane should know better. Neah was supposed to be resting.

‘She’s definitely become more confident since she has been pregnant.’ Midnight muses.

‘Hormones and trauma history.’ I mumble back. ‘I just hope Dane is prepared for it to get a lot worse.’

‘Hey?’

Eric scares the crap out of me. I really have to start paying more attention and not just tune everything out when I’m talking to Midnight.

“Hey Eric, can I help you?”

“Have you seen Klaus?”

“No. He was with Neah for tutoring, so” I gesture to the couple arguing, “I guess he has headed home.”

“Apparently!” I tut

“The last I heard, yes. Yes he is still alive.”

“He was killing the Lycans?”

Mallory nods at me. “The Rogues. Do you want to come in and ask these questions? I’m cooking and I don’t want or need it to burn.”

My dark eyes move around to see if anyone is watching. I didn’t want Neah to think I’m betraying her. I just wanted to know more about my mate.

“Sure.”

Following her inside, she gestures to the small kitchen table.

“Damien is my best friend.” Mallory tells me. “We found each other a few months after he had been turned. By that point, I had been a Lycan for almost a year. A very lonely year.”

“He was bitten too?”

“By the same bitch that bit me!” Mallory pours me a coffee and slides it across the table to me.
