The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 243

Mallory

Neah hasn’t said anything for about five minutes. Her silence makes me more nervous than when she is talking.

I pour myself another cup of tea and slowly take a biscuit from the plate. No sudden movements, that was my best bet. Or maybe she didn’t believe a single word I said. I really hope that wasn’t the case. It had taken a lot to reveal my history. Only Damien knew what I had told her.

I nibble on the biscuit, watching her. Her eyes weren’t black. Another good sign I hoped, but then again, they hadn’t changed colour when she tortured Roan.

Another few minutes pass and the panic is really sinking in. This was it. I am going to die.

“Okay.”

“Huh?”

“One chance.” The words are slow to trickle from her tongue but she said the thing I least expected. I guess I was more certain than I thought that she was actually going to kill me.

“Sure.” I nod my head frantically. For years I had felt in control of my own life until I had come here. But I never truly was while my past played havoc with my head.

“I can’t promise that I will find your presence easy.” She furrows her brow, unsure that she had made the right choice. “But I will try as long as you don’t fuck me over.”

"Yes Alpha."

There’s a sudden flash of darkness in her beautiful blue eyes. A warning from her Lycan I hope. Rather than a sign the darkness is pressing forward.

“I will do anything.” I had been so against the idea of Damien sending me here with Dane and his brother. It was the very last place on Earth that I wanted to be. But in my heart I knew what I had to do. She is the Alpha and she probably would have found me eventually and then, everything could have been so much worse.

She rises from her seat. But she still looks as though she has the weight of the world on her shoulders.

“I can track her down.” I murmur. “I saw the car, the registration plate. I can find her. My bet is she isn’t that far outside the pack.”

Her brows knit together and she sucks in her cheeks.

“You don’t have to do anything, but it could be beneficial to know where she is hiding. Maybe I can do a little more digging on her for you.”

“She might shoot you.” Neah mumbles.

“We both know you are not worried about that.”

She hesitates and lifts her eyes to meet mine. “You can’t tell anyone, including Damien.”
