The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 281

Dane

‘Everwood.’ Aero murmurs. ‘Why does that sound so familiar?’

‘There was a pack called Everwood years ago. Down in the south. But that was a long time ago, before I was even born. They were wiped out.’ Part of my training as an Alpha had been to learn what had killed off certain packs.

Everwood was not wiped out by a pack war or anything like that. It was a disaster. There was massive flooding, followed by a landslide. My father had said they had either been killed in the process or had been buried alive. We may be able to heal from a lot of stuff, but things like that take out everything in its path. Destruction at its finest.

“Everwood were a pack of Wolves.” I mutter to Abraxas with a frown.

He smirks at me and shakes his head.

“Lycans?”

He takes another swig of beer and nods. “A lot of packs masqueraded as Wolves. Easier to keep their identity hidden. Wolves can’t tell the difference, as you are aware.”

Moonshine had done just that. But they had also led Neah to believe she was a Wolf her entire life.

“You’ve killed packs?” I press.

“I kill Rogues. Though my parents and grandparents did wipe out packs. I decided to focus on the real problems.”

“Are you trying to tell me that Blair is from this Everwood pack? Because that can’t be possible.”

He grins, “My grandparents blew up a dam not too far from their location. Made it look as though the thing cracked and then whoosh everything was gone.”

It was impressive. A single act that wiped out so many. But it also made me question how many Lycan packs I had actually dealt with unknowingly.

“You think Blair’s mother got away?”

"Maybe or maybe she wasn’t there at the time.”

“That’s why Blair came for your family when she was old enough. Payback.”
