The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 292

Dane

Mallory takes Maddie with her back to her house leaving Neah and I alone.

“This is tiring.” Neah mumbles with a slight crease to her brow.

“You’ve only met half a dozen.” I offer, reminding her this is what the plan was. “We have no idea how many more there could be.”

She rocks in my chair. “Do you think Abraxas did the right thing, shooting the other guy?”

“He saw the same things I did when it came to Enzo. The guy had a tight grip on her arm, just the same as Trey had on you when he opened that basement door and didn't expect to see me. Everything she said was a cry for help, just carefully worded, just like you. We just had to make sure she was away from him before Brax killed him.”

“Since when have you been calling him Brax?”

“He asked me too. Told me only his mate called him by Abraxas.”

“You trust him, don’t you?” She questions

“He is an egotistical asshole, but he promised not to hurt you. Does that mean I trust him? No. But I can keep an eye on him and right now, that works for me.”

“Roan also said he wouldn’t hurt me.” She snaps a little harshly “and Abraxas keeps calling everyone by a nickname, which they don’t like. Why surfer boy for Klaus?”

I smirk, sometimes I forgot how little she knew of the outside world. She had learned a lot since I found her, but there was still so much more in the world. “He looks like a guy that hits the waves.”

Her frown deepens and her eyes narrow. “I don’t know what that is supposed to mean!”

“I will show you later.” I press my lips to her cheek. ‘Aero remind me to show her some videos later.’

‘Sure. Or maybe we can just take her to the beach with the boys.’ He had a point, but right now, there is too much going on.
