The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 262

He shakes his head, “Honestly, I hated the idea of Mal being my mate. I fought against it and yet I could never bring myself to reject her. She showed up constantly, making sure that I wasn’t drinking. Even when I told her to fuck off she would still come back. After that, I would find myself watching her. I can see her front door from my kitchen window and she does the same thing every evening. Sits outside with a mug of tea and watches.”

Now I understood what Mallory was saying when she said she likes to watch.

“When she didn’t follow her usual routine a few nights ago, I followed her scent into the forest. I heard her link that wasn’t supposed to be for me and felt my heart fall out my ass when I realised she was in danger.”

“A matebond will do that to you. You knocked Jenson out?”

“Yes. But he didn’t seem himself. And he didn’t wake up like I expected him to.”

“He’s in the hospital fighting for his life.” I mutter

“It’s that bad?”

“Yes.”

“Mal told me what’s been going on. I know I’m not your Beta anymore, but she has been keeping me in the loop as much as she can. I want to help if I can.”

“Where is she now?”

“I believe Neah is letting her meet the twins.”

That news surprised me more than anything. Neah had point blank refused to let Mallory near them or even be in the same room as them until now.

“Have you really stopped drinking?”

I couldn’t smell a drop on him. “A couple weeks.” It matched what Mallory had said. “I’m in a much better place,”

I imagine Mallory had a lot to do with that.

“Good, I need a second Beta.” He cocks an eyebrow at me. “Damien is a great Beta but he won’t take the blood oath yet. It makes it difficult for him to get information to the rest of the pack. You would be able to do that, just like before. Though I expect you to work alongside Damien.”

“Of course. Where do you need me?”

I catch him up on the very few things that Jenson said before he basically died.

Eric has a small smile on his lips, “Mal is smart.”
