The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 146

Neah

Raven practically breaks down the bedroom door as she comes flying in. I had never seen her look so flustered. Her eyes are wide and she is breathing as though she just ran a marathon.

She’s flapping her hands, trying to calm herself down.

“I assume you are not okay?” I mutter

“He’s here.”

She had to be talking about Damien. “You saw him?”

“Yes, wait, you know?” She stops to stare at me.

“One of the guards interrupted us to tell Dane. What’s he like?”

“I didn’t talk to him.”

“Okay.”

“He looked directly at me.”

“Do you think he knows?”

“Of course he knows Neah! I panicked. I literally dropped everything and I came here.”

She shakes her head. “With Salem, we both gravitated towards each other. When I first scented him, I followed my nose and Salem was doing the exact same. With this guy, he just stood there, staring at me while talking to Dane. Acting like he couldn’t even smell me! Or maybe he was disgusted by me. Whatever the reason, he didn't look happy!”

"Maybe he was surprised. You have known this guy is your mate without having seen him. The first time he realised he was mated was when he arrived here."

"You are not helping."

I couldn’t control the laugh.

Raven points a finger at me. “Don’t! This is not funny Neah. Do you think it’s because I am a Wolf?”

“I don’t know.”

“It is, isn’t it? He’s probably grossed out.”

“Where is he now?”

“I don’t know. I told you, I came straight here. I figured you would be the only one to understand this.”

“What does he look like?” I ask calmly, hoping it would rub off on her.

“You are right!” She jumps up off the bed and hurries to the mirror, checking herself out. “I can do this. I can seek him out. Women are just as powerful as men.” She turns to me, her eyes wide. “What if he rejects me?”

“Do what Jess did!”

“Refuse?”

“Why not? It seems to have worked for Jess.”

She nods and hurries out of the room.

’You should have told her.’ Nyx mutters

‘I’m fine.’ I mutter back

‘Just because you are ignoring the pain in your body, it doesn’t mean that you are fine!’

‘I’m carrying twins. It’s just uncomfortable.’

‘Raven’s a doctor!’ Nyx argues.

‘I know and she is caught up in the whole new mate bond stuff. I will be fine. I will get something to eat.’
