The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 279

Abraxas

“She adores him.” Neah tells me. I could see that myself. Dorothy wasn’t old enough to use her Hunter abilities, to her, she may have seen the man who saved her, but to me, he is a ticking time bomb and I don’t want her anywhere near that.

“Would you let your boys near someone you deemed unsafe? I saw the way you looked at Dane when he stood between me and the Rogue. Two squirming babies in his arms. He put them directly in the line of danger.”

“Obviously I wasn’t happy.”

“You still held it together.”

She frowns at me. But it is a frown born of confusion, not anger. If it were anger, she would have that little crease that formed between her brows earlier. Something that surprised me considering I had pointed a gun at her. Even Mallory had acted like she had been jabbed with a taser.

“I’m sorry she did that to you.”

An apology was the last thing I expected. She was a little more unpredictable than I first thought. Maybe she was what all the Lycans needed. Maybe she could be the one to keep them all in line.

“It’s not your place to apologise. As much as you look like her, you were not the one to slit my family's throats while they were sleeping. You were not the one who took my baby girl and handed her off to fucking humans.”

She nods, her eyes flicking to Blondie in the distance. She gives him a tiny shake of the head.

“You knew he was watching, didn’t you?” She asks me quietly.

“Yep. He’s not the only one. Two back there, hiding in the trees. An older woman is watching me from her bedroom window. The couple down there who are acting like they are on their phones. Plus a few others.”

She stares at me with wide eyes as I smile, “I wouldn’t be a successful Hunter if I’m unable to tell where the threats are.” I muse

“Are you part Witch?”

“Fuck no.” Why did they always jump to that? It’s not magic. It's a gift that has been built and developed through generations of Hunters. We came preloaded with information and anything we learned got passed on to the next.

She nods and a small smile appears on her face. Her soul glows brighter too. She turns from me. “I need to go and check on something.”
