The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 341

She stares at me with complete confusion. They all did when I mentioned higher powers. Like it had never crossed their mind that there might be more than a Moon Goddess that rules the population.

“Think about it, Madison. Rogue Lycans are there to keep the human population under control. I’m a Wolf that kills Lycans. Lycans were kept a secret from the average Wolf until Neah came along. This is all higher power shit. A way to test us. A way to see who is on top.”

“So why do you think they are pairing Wolves and Lycans together?”

“It wouldn’t be the first fucked up thing they did.”

A mixture of emotions crosses her face. She wasn’t sure how to process what I had said. “Have you…. Have you told the Alpha?”

“No. And before you ask, I’m not going to either. She has other things on her plate. She doesn’t need to listen to my theories too.”

Madison sighs and drops her arms, picking at the bark on the tree. “The others don’t trust me.”

“Who?” Something annoys me about her comment. And for a second I feel that same fucking thing as I did when she tried to throw herself in the fire. I cared.

I shudder, but she doesn’t see it.

“The Lycans. I can’t shift and that makes me weak.”

“Have you ever shifted?”

She shakes her head at me and the light of the sunset breaks through the trees, bouncing off of her deep red waves. “It’s true what I told you before. I can do everything but shift. You saw the burns, I still healed. I can link Neah. I just can’t….shift.” I was expecting her to sound disappointed but she sounds more defeated.

“Why are you telling me?”

“I thought because of the….” she trails off when she realises I’m frowning at her. “I just thought, maybe you could be the one to help me?”

Multiple footsteps come running in our direction. Many were still going ahead with the pack run tonight. Some would find it beneficial to burn off their worries and frustrations. Others just wanted the freedom and power they felt under the full moon.

I was supposed to be going too.
