The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 219

Blair

We were here less than twenty four hours before he showed up. The problem was, the asshole was in human form. And I was yet to see what he looked like as a human. Jenson couldn’t help me either. He had only ever seen him in beast form.

It was a rarity that a Rogue is able to shift at will. Becoming Rogue was just that, almost impossible to come back and live like other Lycans, but it's not completely impossible. Jenson said the guy at Black Shadow succeeded. But this guy, he was something else.

He pushed his boundaries. He didn’t fight what he was and that gave him more freedom.

What I had learned about Rogues is that they struggle when they fight against their desires. That’s what makes it hard. That’s what stops them from turning back. A heart versus head thing. But he had figured it out and I couldn’t help the smile that spreads across my face.

“Do you have eyes on him? Jenson asks when he sees me smile.

“No.”

I knew he was here, I just didn’t know where. It was impossible to pinpoint him. He was moving but so were so many other people that were going about their daily lives.

And he would know I was here. He wasn’t stupid. If I could smell him, no doubt he could smell me. It seems to heighten their sense of smell when they become Rogue. Every sense explodes to a new level and that’s why the fuckers could be harder to kill if you didn't do it right. Unless you kill them in their sleep. Though there was no fun in that.

“Just keep watching.” I mutter

One guy catches my eye. He has tattoos on his neck, just like the guy who saw Jenson talking to me. Lots of people had tattoos, but it was rare for them to have identical tattoos in identical locations. Unless it was a family trait.

If it is him, he didn’t look much like his brother. He’s leaner, his hair and eyes a chestnut brown compared to the darkness of Damien’s.

Maybe they just shared one parent like me and my dearest half sister.

He looks around. Most likely searching for me. But I wasn’t stupid. I had already made sure my scent was all over this glorified town. It would just be a little stronger here due to my current position. He had already figured that out.

He looks away when he doesn’t see me. Immediately eyeing up a woman a little younger than me, outside a library.

He stops by her, pointing out the bundle of books she is carrying. There was too much traffic and noise for me to hear what he is saying. But I watch her giggle. A little flush of red brightening up her pale cheeks.
