The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 284

“Are you going to tell me what that was about?” Raven asks quietly as I slam the door. She doesn’t look at me, her eyes are only on her brother.

“That asshole claims to be a Hunter.”

“Isn’t he a Wolf?”

“A Hunter of Rogues and Lycans.”

She puffs out her cheeks and drags her dark orbs away from her brother to look at me. “Why would my brother bring him here? With you and Neah, Mallory and the boys”

“The guy has issues with Blair too.” I groan “And Mallory roped him into helping Neah.”

****

“He’s Dorothy’s father?” She is staring at me as I break the news. It’s the most she had looked at me since Jenson had landed himself in here. It was a good thing, to get her tired mind focussed on something else even if it's just for a few minutes.

“Apparently.”

“Are you sure?”

“I saw the way he looked at her. It’s the same look Neah and Dane have when they look at their boys.”

“How is Dorothy taking it?”

“Surprisingly well. She seemed to know who she was.” I frown, thinking about the way she hugged me. I thought she had been scared but now I wonder if she had been overwhelmed with her feelings. “She ran into his arms.”

“She won’t stop loving you.” Raven gives me a small smile.

“I’m not her father though, am I?!” It felt like my heart was being torn apart when I thought about it.

“Don’t give up on it just yet. Dorothy adores you. You are the only one allowed to call her Dottie. She won’t just fade from your life.”

“She will if he takes her. This is her home Raven. She loves everyone here. She’s a pack Wolf.”

“If he is helping Neah, he will be here for a while yet. Blair hasn’t shown herself since you last saw her. Dorothy isn’t leaving your life that easily.” She scowls at me “And you can’t kill him. That will destroy her.”

Her gaze lowers to her brother and I knew I had lost her again. As she falls into silence, I mull over what the asshole said. ‘Twins in essence and spirit.’ And the machines weren’t what was keeping him alive.

I knew Raven said that their Wolves were twins too. Surely he couldn’t mean it was Midnight keeping Jenson alive?

As much as I couldn’t stand the bastard, I needed to know if that was what he meant.

Dane and the asshole hadn’t gone far. They were still outside the hospital.

“What did you mean the machines are not keeping him alive?” I demand
