The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 336

Neah

The room is oddly quiet as I step back inside. Abraxas has his hazel eyes firmly set on Raven. Dane is silently pacing, deep in thought.

It hurts to feel how much pain he is in. You wouldn’t think it if you looked at him. His crimson eyes are full of rage instead of hurt. A frown sits on his face, but that’s all. No clenched fists. No heavy breathing, he was…a certain level of calm. The kind of calm before a storm.

His eyes flash over to me and it stops him in his tracks, he knew what I was going to do. I feel Damien step in behind me. He closes the door quietly, a gentle click is the only thing that could be heard as the handle slots back in place.

‘We’ve got this.’ Nyx whispers as though the others could hear us. ‘It’s the right thing to do. We both know it.’

That didn’t mean it was any less difficult.

“You won’t kill me, Neah.” Raven mocks. “I’m your best friend.” I stare at her familiar face. I had to remember it wasn’t her anymore. That she was gone.

“You're just a soul, trying to survive in someone else’s body.” I spit back

She smiles and I hear a subtle crack, Jenson was forcing Raven’s body to shift. I wasn’t going to let that happen. My hand wraps around Raven’s arm as the bones crack beneath my fingers. If he thinks he can shift and run, he has another thing coming.

I start shifting too. My hand is first. Claws appear as fur spreads up the length of my arm. My own shift seems to slow Jenson down. Maybe it wasn’t what he was expecting.

Though for someone who had a knack for war, he should have expected this. He should know that he wouldn’t get away with this. Or maybe it was because he didn’t know me, not like he thought he did.

Familiar dark eyes find mine. So much hate. So much anger.
