The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 334

Damien

Her body falls back against the wall. Blood spurts from my mate's collarbone. I had purposely shot her there rather than her heart. Her body could heal from that. Her body couldn’t heal if I killed her.

I wanted to know if Raven was really gone.

Abraxas stares at me as he checks for the gun that he carries in his belt. He frowns when he realises the gun I am holding is not his and that his is firmly stored away in its resting place. He frowns at me but keeps his mouth shut.

I wasn’t stupid. I knew how to use a gun correctly. I used them when I was human and with a Hunter in the pack, I figured it would be better to carry one again. Though sometimes, I'm a little impressed with myself that I hadn't pulled it on him yet.

“You shot me!” Roars Raven or maybe it was Jenson. I didn’t know anymore.

I could see my mate, but at the same time the words coming from her mouth sounded nothing like her.

It didn’t seem possible that Neah could be right. That a soul could take the place of someone else, but then again, there was a time in my life when I didn’t believe Wolves existed and definitely not Lycans.

And now I was prepared to kill the person who looked like my mate.

I honestly thought I would never use a gun again.

I keep the gun steady as Raven clutches her collarbone and slips down the wall, leaving a smear of blood. I wasn’t sure if I could go through with killing my mate, even if it wasn’t her anymore, but I could slow her down.

“Damien.” Dane glares at me. “What the fuck do you think you are doing?” His hand rests on the gun, but I refuse to let go.

I stare back at him. “She’s become a threat whether you like it or not.”

A laugh erupts from Raven. A laugh that didn’t sound like her as her body straightened up. “You will have to do better than that, Lycan!”

“Give me the gun, Damien.”

“No.” My finger moves on the trigger and Dane let's go and steps in front of his sibling. “You can’t kill her Damien. She is your mate.”
