The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 325

Damien

I listen to them talk. Neah tries to keep herself calm as Eric tells her that Klaus has already restarted Mallory’s heart twice.

Twice.

It wasn’t a good sign.

We could heal to a certain extent, but if the heart decides to give up. It is rare anyone can come back from that.

Raven should be helping. She is the pack's main doctor. Not Klaus and not the others that she had trained. I had seen her work. She was precise, never missed a step, but she had point blank refused to come when I had linked her and now she is ignoring me.

I rise to my feet and Neah’s blue eyes flash in my direction.

“Please tell me what happens as soon as you hear it.” I almost choke on my own words. Mallory is my best friend, we had been through a lot together. I couldn’t lose her because some fucking prick shot her by accident.

Neah nods at me.

I come to a stop outside the hospital. Trying to decide if I wanted to speak to Dane about his sister, or speak to my mate directly. She should be helping. I had to find a way to make her help.

Making my way across the grounds, I pause outside the packhouse, preparing myself for the argument that is already brewing.

Pulling open the door, Dorothy come's hurtling towards me from the stairs. Fear written all over her chubby little face as she throws herself into my arms.

“Hey, hey. What’s wrong?”

“There’s something bad in the house Daddy.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s dark upstairs.”

I look up the stairs where sunlight is flooding in through the large windows.

“Don’t go up there Daddy.” Her bright green eyes are filled with tears as she glances up the stairs.

“Who is upstairs, Dottie?”

Her eyes find mine and quickly drop. She squeezes herself against my chest and whispers, “Raven.”

“Anyone else?”

Dottie shakes her head and shudders. “Daddy, can we leave?”

I back out of the house. I couldn’t feel anything but the pain Raven was still feeling.

“Logan and Evrin are with Athena and Sebastian, would you like to go there?” I was trying to keep her calm, but whether she believed it or not was a different matter.

“Yes please.” She nods her head frantically.

On some level, I hoped that she had just been napping and had woken from a bad dream. But the silent treatment from Raven and the lack of interest in helping Mallory had me concerned.
