The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 271

Dane

Damien and I waited at the gates. It was still dark outside though the sun would be rising shortly. I was curious and cautious about this Abraxas guy. He had agreed to come here far too easily and that wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

The call with Mallory was even stranger. The guy didn’t speak, yet Mallory told him to ask a question, specifically to Neah and I still had no idea why. The line went dead just as quickly and a sleepy Neah stared at me as if I had just pranked her.

The cars come to a stop on the other side of the gates. Klaus is the first to exit the car. Shortly followed by an angry Eric.

“I told you to not stick a fucking gun in her face!” Eric yells as he turns towards the vehicle behind them.

“You can never be too careful.” An unfamiliar voice retorts. Though his tone appeared to be emotionless. “And I warned all of you, I didn’t want any surprises. You can chill now, she is still alive!"

“It’s okay Eric. It was my fault.” Mallory mutters. “He hates Blair so I had to tell him about Neah. I didn’t want him to accidentally shoot her because they look alike.”

‘What the hell happened out there?’ Aero asks me

‘That’s what I’m trying to find out.’ I mumble back

The four of them move towards us. Eric and Mallory walk behind Abraxas, while Klaus keeps his presence close to him. The guy didn’t seem to care. He strolled forward like he was on an evening walk. A bag slung over his shoulder, his hands shoved in his denim pockets.

He comes to a stop in front of the gates, his hazel eyes locking with mine. “Dane.”

“People outside my pack refer to me as Alpha.”

“Yeah, ain’t doing that. Not when you let scum in your pack.” His eyes momentarily move to Damien and he spits on the ground. If there hadn’t been gates between us, Damien would be wringing his neck.

“Show some fucking respect.” Damien growls.

“Respect is earned.” Abraxas snarls back. “And I have no respect for your kind, Rogue.”

“I’m not a Rogue!” Damien's nostrils flare as he grips the bars of the gate.

“But you were. And you still feel the pull.” Abraxas grins at him. “How long before you are pushed over the edge, Damien? A week? A couple of months. Either way, I’m happy to end your miserable life.”
