The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 22

Dane

Neah drops her eyes, her fingers fidget with the edge of the blanket as she waits for me to say something.

‘She’s like a forbidden fruit.’ Aero muses. ‘So close and yet so far away. Are you sure it will hurt her?’

I hear the desperation in his tone. I knew how he felt because I felt my own urges anytime her blue eyes locked with mine. It wasn’t just Aero that wanted her. I wanted to feel the satisfaction of knowing she was mine.

‘Until her matebond with Kyle is truly broken, we have to wait.’ I tell Aero

It wasn’t what Aero wanted to hear and it wasn’t what I wanted to admit.

‘You truly believe she is our mate? Destined to be with us and no one else?’ I ask

‘I feel it in my bones.’ Aero mutters smugly

“You….You haven’t said anything?” Neah whispers. Her eyes are still low.

Even her little stutter had me turned on.

“I have a few errands to run,” I say as I stand up

She bobs her head and as usual, doesn’t question me. However, I do feel her eyes on me as I walk out the door.

Moving through the house, I could hear my brother arguing with Eric.

“You can’t be serious, Eric!” My brother hollers

“I am deadly serious.” Eric snaps back. “You think just because you are Dane’s brother, I will let you get away with crap. Well not this time. It’s not happening. Regardless of who you are, I outrank you!”

“Come on, Eric, I will make it up to you.”

I frown.

‘What the fuck has he done now?’ Aero groans

‘You know Jenson, he has probably lured Eric’s partner into bed.’

Pushing the door open, I glare at my brother. “What the hell have you done now?”

“Go ahead.” Eric snarls, “Tell him!”

“It was ages ago.” My brother pleads. “We got drunk, okay. That was it, just one night. It never happened again.” His dark eyes flash to me and I knew immediately that I had been right.

“Seriously? You slept with Kelsie? What the fuck is wrong with you?” I snap

His jaw drops open. “Are you actually serious? I’m your brother. You raised me and Raven. I will change. I won't do it again.”

“Clearly I did not raise you well enough!”

“All because I slept with his other half?” Jenson scowls.

“But it’s not just Kelsie, is it? What about all of my brides that you slept with? What about all the women that you have bedded that belong to someone else. It’s almost as if it is a challenge for you. To have the women that are already taken. Enough is enough, Jenson. As I said, you have had warning after warning and you have still tried to hit on my bride.”

“Bullshit!” He is on his feet. His eyes turning grey. If Aspen wanted a fight, Aero was right here and ready for him.

“Really? What is the comment you made about Neah being family? Implying that she is to be shared! Raven tells me everything, Jenson. If you want to chase women that don’t belong to you, go elsewhere and do it. Mess with the fucking humans for all I care.

“Better yet, leave and take Kelsie with you.” Eric snaps

“You want me to take your boys?” He asks with a cocked brow.

“No, just her.” Eric growls

“Bro, you can’t do this!” Jenson pleads with me

“Eric isn’t the first to tell me this. I have a list as long as my arm. Now your time is up, what do you choose?”
