The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 296

Abraxas

“Well, is it an option?” She asks, growing frustrated when she doesn't get an immediate answer.

“No Neah, of course that is not an option.” Damien tells her. “You have been bound four times. You should be dead and somehow you survived it. If you do it again, it might actually kill you this time.”

“I’m not talking about me. I’m asking if binding her is an option, has it ever been done?” Her head twitches and she closes her eyes. The darkness keeps seeping in and out as she fights against her inner spirit, but now I finally see how it’s working.

It seeps into her cracks, working its way through them like it's following the bends of a river. But it meets its end with nowhere to go and the darkness is forced to try a different route until it ebbs back.

The cracks don’t meet and it forces her Lycan to push more. Is that what she wanted? To try and break her in any way possible. I had never seen the darkness work so strategically. The darkness of someone's soul doesn’t usually have a mind behind it. It doesn’t have a chance to hover and develop for years and years.

And I couldn’t help but wonder what her Lycan’s plan was. Turn her Rogue and then what? She would be incapable of leading anyone, unless she convinces others to go Rogue. The world would be fucked.

“She’s not been with you for long, has she?” I needed a better understanding.

“Before I was pregnant.” Her scowl deepens. “Less than two years. Why?”

“And you are twenty three now?”

“Yes, why? What does that have to do with anything.”

Years and years her Lycan has had to stew, trying to break through. Her Lycan must be angry that it’s taken so long to be able to speak to Neah. Because the reality is, they are always there. They just can’t get through until the host comes of age. And in Neah’s case, it had taken even longer.

“Trying to fill in the gaps.” I murmur

“Well?” She asks me, staring at me with big blue eyes. “Please tell me it’s possible!”
