The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 263

Neah

“We already know that there are more out there, but we haven’t got the time for that!” Dane snaps at Mallory. “For all we know, she might be here already, skulking around.”

The twins have fallen quiet and are staring up at Dane. From the moment they were more aware of their surroundings, they had always been able to feel his anger, but it never made them cry. It just seemed to fascinate them.

“WE don’t need to do anything.” Mallory mutters and turns her eyes to me. “You do.”

“Right.” I snort. “The last time I spoke to Lycans, they were the ones that had been bitten, marked, whatever you want to call it. And not only that, you struggled to link me.”

“I think something is holding you back.” She shrugs her shoulders

“I know, the darkness that sits inside of me.” I mutter sarcastically.

“No. You.” She points a finger at me. “I thought it might have been Nyx not wanting you to listen to me.”

‘Not me.’ Nyx mutters in annoyance.

“But now I think it’s you. You’ve focussed so much on keeping the darkness at bay that you are not letting your natural bloodborn ability in.”

“It didn’t work with Salem or Blair.”

“Neither of them were around when Cassandra had it in for you. But what had started was the very thing that you are fighting every day. I think that has something to do with it, but it's not what is stopping it.”

“I accepted who I am.” I mutter in defense

“But a lot has changed since then.” Dane stares at me

“Neah, you are the last female Alpha, a descendant of Aldous Kitson. Every Lycan in the world belongs to you, Rogue or not. If it’s true that there are more. You need to find a way to link them. To bring them here.”

“And what if I bring more shit to our pack? What if they hate the idea of me? What if they hate the idea of having an Alpha? I understand what you are trying to say Mallory, but the twins.” I look over to Dane who had picked them both up and was pulling faces at them. "I can't risk anything happening to them."
