The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 347

“Like I said, you are worried about the wrong person!”

“So if she gets into trouble, then what, her father is going to come for us? You're going to come for us?”

“Yes. I will warn you once and only once. If you or any other Lycan tries anything stupid, it won’t just be me or Brax that you have to worry about. Dottie is a part of Neah’s family. How do you think Neah will feel after she invited you to stay here?”

“I fully support our Alpha, but I don’t want the Hunter child hanging out with my kids.”

“Why, worried they will turn out like Blair?” I walk away without waiting for his reaction.

Neah is standing with her hands on her hips as I walk through the front door. “You’re threatening other Lycans now?”

“It wasn’t a threat. But I’m glad to see they can link you when needed.”

She sighs and sits on the bottom step. “Damien. I’m sorry, okay. I had to do it. I couldn’t let you do it.”

“Stop apologising Neah. I keep telling you that I understand. You don’t need to keep apologising to me.”

“But…”

“I don’t blame you, Neah, not for anything. I blame her, she took the easy way out. She didn’t even try to fight for what was hers. And honestly, I have more important things to worry about.”

“If you need to talk, I…"

“I don’t.”

She puffs out her cheeks. “Are you going to tell me what happened with Ryken?”

“I’m sure he has already told you.”

She rolls her eyes at me. “I prefer to listen to both sides.”

I sit on the stairs next to her. “I won’t let anything happen to Dottie.”

“I know that. But we all need to make it work. We’ve got the original Wolves, we have Lycans, both bitten and pure bloods and then we have several Hunters. Though I’m not really sure if I can class Klaus in that category.” She smiles at me. “I will speak to Ryken.”

“He's a prick, Neah. Don't fall for his shit."

"It's my decision."

I nod "Where’s Dane?”

“Down at the gate. Apparently there is another one.”

“And you didn’t go?”

“I was waiting for you to come back. Athena came and got the twins and I was going to go, but whoever is at the gate. isn't important. You do get that right? That you are not alone here. Just because she’s gone, it doesn’t mean you’ve stopped being family.”

“Good, because you are stuck with me!”

I walk down to the gates with her. There’s a woman standing on the other side of the gates. Her arms folded against her chest in defence. And she is human. How the fuck had a human made it out here?

She has strange grey eyes. “You don’t believe me do you?” I hear her mutter to Dane

“Why would there be a human here?” Neah whispers
