The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 223

“What if we had gone through the blood tie? What would have happened to me then?”

It was the question she replayed over and over, but she hadn’t once asked me until now.

“He would have broken your heart.” I keep my voice level and calm. Purposely keeping the annoyance from my voice. He probably would have killed her too, but she doesn't need to know that.

Her frown deepens and her eyes move to the closed door separating the kitchen from the hallway. “I hope whoever killed him, made his death quick.”

She had this picture of him in her mind of the man he once was. I wanted to tell her the truth. To tell her that he was never that man and what a bad man he really was. I wanted to tell her about the kind of messed up situations he put himself in, long before he asked Cassandra to turn him. But I bury it down, letting her remember the tiny good things about him.

I was the idiot for letting him live for so long.

She gives me a small sad smile. I should be jealous. I was to begin with, but I can’t change the fact that she loved him once, even if it was built on lies.

“You should… um…” She picks up the spoon and starts digging it back into the melted ice cream. “You should tell the others. Dane and Neah will be so happy.”

I move around the table to hug her and she jabs the spoon at me. “Don’t touch me, I will cut it off. I swear!”

“I can’t even wrap my arms around you.”

“I don’t like being touched when it's my time of the month. You should know this by now! It happens every single damn month!”

"It you let me put a pup in you. It won't."
