The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 283

Damien

Raven isn’t in bed when I return. The hours of sleep she needed once again evaded her and I already knew she would be back at Jenson’s bedside. Praying for a miracle.

I don’t stop when I hear Dane and Abraxas in the kitchen. He was spewing some bullshit about seeing souls like he was some fucking God or maybe that was it, he just had a God complex.

Bringing him here was a mistake and I would prove it.

In the hospital, I find Raven exactly where I expected her to be. Hunched over Jenson, fighting sleep, gripping his hand.

“You are supposed to be in bed.”

“Can’t sleep.” She whispers

“Klaus was watching him.” I remind her

“I know.”

She’s clinging to his hand again. Her thumb circled the back of his hand as though that would wake him up.

“Did something happen? Did Klaus link you?”

She shakes her head, a large tear rolls down her cheek.

I stand there, watching her, trying to think of something to say when I hear his voice. Why the fuck was he here?

I pull the door open to face Dane and Abraxas.

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!”

“Nice to see you too, Rogue!” He grins at me and Dane rolls his eyes.

“Why are you here, asshole?” I snap back. If he was going to continue to call me Rogue, then I had a few choice names for him too.

“I asked him to come here.” Dane interrupts us

“So he can look at Jenson’s soul?” I mutter sarcastically.

“Exactly.”

I stare at Dane, surely he didn’t believe the crap this asshole is sprouting.

“His soul?” Raven whispers behind me.

“Raven, this is Abraxas. Abraxas, this is my sister Raven and the guy in the bed is my brother, Jenson.”

The asshole stares at me, waiting for me to move. I position myself next to Raven and the idiot smirks at me. As soon as we are alone, I’m going to stitch his lips shut so he can never smirk again.

He settles into a chair on the other side of Jenson, propping an ankle on his knee as he stares at my mate's brother.

“He’s a Wolf?”

“Thought you could tell the difference?” I sneer

“That’s not why I was questioning it, Rogue. I’m questioning how he can be a Wolf.”

“I don’t understand.” Dane frowns
