The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 350

Abraxas

I’m on my feet seconds before his face comes back into view. Madison hovers behind me, her fingers working quickly to fasten her shirt.

The guy stares at me, I wasn’t stupid, I knew he could smell her arousal but he doesn’t say anything, he just turns and walks away, his fists clenched either side of him.

My hand fumbles for my gun, but Madison stops me, “Don’t, it will just bring more attention. I will talk to him.”

I grab hold of her wrist as she moves past me. “You will stay away from him.”

“You don’t get to make that decision for me Brax.” She pulls her hand away and hurries off after him. I hear her calling his name, which gradually fades the further away she gets.

Bollocks!

If he doesn’t keep his mouth shut, they are going to think I’m a pussy. The Lycans will think they have the upper hand over me. I will become a joke to other Hunters. I needed to speak to Neah or Mallory, they were the only ones who knew the truth.

Making my way out of the forest, I couldn’t see Madison or that prick anywhere, nor could I smell her, maybe she had taken a different direction and i hadn't paid attention.

I was closest to the hospital here and make my way over to it, hoping Mallory would be alone.

Thankfully she is.

She wipes her tears away when she sees me and paints on a smile. “Do you want me to get Klaus or Eric?”

“No, no, it’s okay. Come in, come in.” She waves me in.

“I want to say I’m sorry.” I murmur. Mallory didn’t deserve this. She is different from the other Lycans. I knew she had gone Rogue, but it wasn’t the same and her soul is full of cracks like Neah’s, I just hadn’t told anyone. And now, there was a new one that worked its way through her soul and I felt responsible for it.

I may not have pulled the trigger, but it was my weapon that had caused all the damage.

“You didn’t shoot me. Damien told me. Though for a moment, I did think it was you.”

I nod.

“But that’s not why you are here, is it?”

I scratch through my stubble and press my lips together. I could still taste Madison. “I am not the type of person to ask for help or advice.” I force the words out. It even felt wrong to say it, like they were somehow going to scold me. “But you and Neah are the only Lycans I can tolerate.”

“Ah, this is about Maddie.”
