The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 264

“He’s working, but he will be back soon.” Dane smiles at her and steals a piece of her popcorn

“Because he is an important man?” Dorothy asks with a pout.

“He is. And when you are older, you will understand why?”

“Okay.” She climbs up into the window and presses her face to the glass trying to look for Damien. Frowning when she can’t see him.

“Mallory, will you stay here with the kids while I speak to my mate.” Dane asks

“Yes of course, I love kids.”

I cringe when she calls herself Auntie Mallory and tells them she will be staying a little longer, but I don’t have time to correct her as Dane is pulling me out the room.

“I know you don’t like it, but I think she is on to something. I also know it’s bringing up shitty memories, but it will be a fast and quick way to weed out the bad. To find out who is really on your side.”

“I won’t be able to do it.” Even talking of killing so many was making me fidgety. I needed to find a way to get rid of this darkness. I can’t live like this, constantly worried that it’s going to rear its ugly head.

“You can’t grow it anyway. Well, at least I don’t think you can. It needs wolf blood.”

He starts making a plan. Talking about growing it in a safe place where no children had access to it. A part of me hated it, but something deep inside me bubbles with joy at the thought of killing more people. I hated the looming darkness.

While Dane is checking in on Jenson, Mallory sits on the floor opposite me. We had been talking through mind link and each time seemed to get clearer and stronger.

'Tell me how you linked them all before?' She asks, her high pitched voice echoing in my head

'I’m not sure. I was hiding with Jess. She made me feel like I could do it and it just happened.'

'No, there’s more to it than that. To be able to link that many at once, you need power, strength. Something you already have. But for some reason, it’s stopping you now.'

'I guess I wanted to protect the ones I care about. Jess was like a little sister. We were finding our way together. She was newly bitten, I was newly unbound. But I didn’t have this darkness. And the twins help my head stay clear.”
