The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 299

“Did my darkness….”

“No.” He mutters before I get a chance to finish

“Did…did something happen?” Athena had said there were no dead bodies.

“You don’t need to concern yourself with my problems, Neah.”

“Is Dorothy okay?”

“Dorothy is fine. Let it go!” He starts walking again and I run to keep up with his long strides.

“What is wrong?” It had to be something bad, but the guy could protect himself. I had seen it more than once.

He stops again. “I came here to do a job. The job is what I will do. I will try to help you with this other problem. After that, Dorothy and I are leaving.” He looks up at the sky. “You are taking the piss!”

I was quite tempted to ask who he was talking to, but my mouth stays shut. When Abraxas starts moving again, I don’t.

‘He’s plotting to kill us.’ Nyx mutters ‘It’s easier to keep secrets when you don’t have to talk to them.’

I close my eyes, trying to find my own way to block her when I smell Dane coming towards me.

He comes up behind me. His hands gliding over my hips and moving around until he laces his fingers together. “We will find a way to get through this.”

“I hope so.” I whisper back. “I’m just….”

“They will find a way. We will find a way.”

“Not that. Abraxas is being weird.”

“Brax is weird.” He presses his lips against my neck

“Weirder than usual.” I mutter. I knew something was up
