The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 268

Mallory

His hazel eyes narrow. He knew who I was talking about. Still, he doesn’t lower the gun.

“That bitch still alive?” He growls through clenched teeth

“Yes. Hopefully for not much longer.” I give him a small smile, hoping that I had found a way to break the tension. He doesn’t return it. “We are looking for help.”

“Is she telling the truth?” He asks Klaus and Eric.

“Blair is why we are here.” Eric tells him, “Now lower the fucking gun.”

“Nah, you bastards are on my property, I can do what I want. If you don’t want a bullet lodged in her pretty little head, you lot better start talking.”

“Here?” Klaus asks, “We will attract the humans' attention.”

“Look around you! It’s the middle of the fucking night. There are no other houses back here, why do you think I lured you around here, dumbass?!” Now he smiles. “Fucking pack idiots.” He spits on the ground.

They tell him everything, well, almost everything. Every now and again I would feel the gun ease off my forehead only to be shoved right back against my skin. I could heal, but it still hurt.

I keep perfectly still, I don’t need to give another reason for him to fire that thing off.

“You expect me to believe all that?” Abraxas growls, still keeping his eyes on me.

“Little far fetched to be a lie, don’t you think?” I mutter

“I’ve met a few good liars. That bitch is one of them.”

“Blair?” What did she lie to him about?

“That’s the one.”

“Can we just talk about this?” Klaus asks. “Wolf to Wolf?”

“You’ve got more to say?” He seems amused.

“So much more.” Klaus mutters “If you are willing to listen.”

Abraxas grabs my wrist and spins me around, locking his arm across the top of my chest as he backs us up, he tells them “You’ve got five minutes.”

Eric’s face is unreadable as he and Klaus follow us. Abraxas pulls me into a darkly lit kitchen. Black and white tiles covered the floor in stripes. Black cupboards lined the walls with black marble countertops sitting on top. Nothing how I expected it to look considering the outside needed a little work. But I guess I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Or in this case, a house.

Eric and Klaus slip in, moving in opposite directions.

“You can split up or stay together, doesn’t matter. One wrong move, she’s dead. Now maybe someone should start trying to convince me that I should let her live.”

“What do you want?” Klaus asks
