The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 337

‘Neah, you are panicking.’ Nyx is calm, to calm

“I killed Raven.” I mutter as I shift back to human form.

‘No, you killed Jenson. Raven was already dead. Damien confirmed it and you can feel what Dane is feeling. Her body was just a shell!’

I knew I was panicking. I don’t know why I am panicking. I had already made it clear to Damien what I was going to do and no one tried stopping me. They all wanted it too, right?

'Yes.' Nyx agrees even though I wasn't asking her.

Quickly, I pull on some leggings and a sweatshirt and jam my feet into some boots. I needed to get out. I needed to think.

My legs power me out of the house, or maybe it was Nyx. I’m not entirely sure. It was hard enough for me to focus and I didn't really care as long as I could get some air.

Killing people that had harmed me or were a threat had been easy up until now. I keep telling myself it was Jenson as I run into the forest, yet all I see is Raven.

‘Neah, we have to stop.’ Nyx mutters.

I can’t, but I wasn’t trying to run away either. I just needed to keep moving.

‘NEAH!’ My own name roars out inside my head and I come to a complete stop. ‘Neah, it’s okay to feel like this. I liked Raven too but there was nothing you could do to save her. She was already gone.’ Nyx continues to remind me.

I slump down on a fallen tree trunk and the tears break free. I look around, half expecting to see Dane or even Damien, but neither one had followed me. I was alone.

'You are not alone. I am right here. This is a new feeling.'

'Right.' I swallow the lump in my throat

‘We couldn’t let him parade around as Raven. Not after everything. Not after every lie he has told.’ Nyx tells me. ‘You know this, Neah.’
