The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 328

“You’re lying.” Every part of me felt that this was a trick, but then why was I still here. Why hadn't I left the very moment she said she asked if I was a Wolf or Lycan?

“If I’m lying Blair, how do you think I’m still alive? I recognised the gown the moment I saw it.” She turns around to a closet and pulls a dusty box from the top shelf. Inside was an identical gown to the one I had to wear at the prison. “The only difference from what I can see, is I had to wear a stupid band because I had an allergic reaction to painkillers. Turns out when you take away our ability to heal. You learn what kind of things don’t work for you.”

Sammie passes it to me. Clearly stated on the band is her name and allergy type.

“And here.” She passes me an empty drip bag. “I thought this was the end too. I thought, here we go, I have run out of time. I sat in that very corner and watched as the last few droplets disappeared into my arm. The pain was unlike anything I have ever felt. And I get that’s why you think you are dying, but you will come out the otherside.”

“I will get my abilities back?”

She sighs “No. I assume he told you the same as me. That whatever is in this bag takes it away and at the same time, you can’t live without it.”

I nod

“It’s funny what our brains will believe when we think we have hit rock bottom.”

"Why don't we get our abilities back?"

"Because that bad is not what took them away. Cooper did the moment he first drugged you."

“He’s never found you out here?”

“The thing with making us Human, we lose our Lycan or wolf scent. We smell like every other human to them. But you do need to stay away from familiar places. He will check them and he will have others check them.”

I frown. My mother, stepfather and siblings should be at Black Shadow, but I'm not even sure how long ago it was that I saw them. And I had mentioned Neah to Cooper. Would he go there to find me? Especially if he knew she was the Lycan Alpha.

“You have to say goodbye to your old life, Blair”

She leads me back downstairs and through to the large kitchen. She holds out her hand and glances at the drip bag.

“I’m not sure this is a good thing.”

“Would you rather wait until it ran out?” Sammie asks softly.
