The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 351

“There’s a good chance a Lycan knows about us.”

“And you didn’t kill him?” She sounds surprised.

“Madison wouldn’t let me. She thinks she can talk him into not telling anyone.”

“Then beat him to it. I already know, Neah knows, there is probably a good chance Dane knows because Neah pretty much tells him everything or if she hasn’t, he can read her mind, the same as Eric can read mine. Neither one has said anything because they are both mated to someone unexpected. And from what I know of Maddie, she hasn’t got a problem with what you do. You did kill the man that marked her and was holding her hostage.”

I nod, mulling over her words.

“Did you know then?” She asks. “Did you know she was your mate when I brought her to the house.”

“Yes.”

“And you’ve held off for all this time?”

“Yes.”

“Because she is a Lycan?”

“Yes and because I would be replacing my dead mate.”

“So you think that’s it? That you are never allowed to have someone love you again?”

“It’s more than that.”

“It really isn’t.” She mutters

“It’s complicated.”

She chuckles and then scrunches her body up as the pain ripples through her. “I told you not to make me laugh!”

“I wasn’t trying too.”

“You think this is complicated?! This is the simplest problem you could have. At least she isn’t human, could you imagine having to explain all of it then?”

Maybe she was the better person to speak to, Neah would have me questioning more than helping me find answers. Or I would get lost watching her soul.

“There is only so much I can say.” Mallory smiles at me. “At the end of the day, you have to make the decision, not me, but if you can’t handle it, let her go. It isn’t fair, not after all the crap she has been dragged through.”

“That’s part of the problem.”

She cocks a brow at me.

“I can’t let her go either.”

“Or maybe you don’t really want to.” She shrugs her shoulders at me.

“Annoyingly, I think you are right.”
