The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 352

Neah

“There are three Ash’s here, but none by the name of Ash Thomas.” Damien tells me as he tosses the clipboard onto the desk in front of me. He turns to Brax “Whoever gave you that name is lying!”

“Or the name he gave you and Neah was a lie.” Brax retorts, "And that is his real name."

I look at the names highlighted on the clipboard and search my mind for the connections to them, while trying to ignore Damien and Brax as they argue. They were worse than kids.

Finding the link to each one, I summon them and request that they come to the office immediately. Maybe one of them had given us a different surname out of fear.

Three men appear within minutes and Brax shakes his head. “It’s not any of them.”

The men look at one another, confused by why they had been called here.

“Do you know Ash Thomas?” I ask

Two of them shake their heads and tell me no. The third one nods. “He came yesterday. He asks a lot of questions too.”

“About what?” Brax demands

“Anything and everything. I just put it down to him being new here.”

‘Samara said that Cooper guy would come here. What if she was right? What if he is already here, using a different name?’

‘Brax would know.’ I murmur. ‘The guy wouldn’t get past us. Could he?’

‘It’s just what that woman said. That this guy comes to places where he thinks his prisoners may be hiding. All the questions he is asking, it sounds like he is looking for someone but trying to be tactical.’

‘If he was trying to find Blair, why would he take Maddie? What if this is Blair’s idea? What if this is another scheme of hers?’ I challenge

She doesn’t answer, because she knew as well as I did, there were too many ‘what ifs’ surrounding the situation.

“What does he look like?” I ask Brax, so many people had arrived recently, I couldn’t remember everyone’s names, but I could remember faces.

He gives me a description as soon as he mentions the green eyes with flecks of blue, I know who he is speaking of.

“You let him live.” I frown. The guy he was talking about had been in the office with me and Dorothy. Dorothy had stopped drawing the moment he walked through the office door and just spent the entire time staring at him without saying a word as I asked him questions. When he left, she wouldn’t even tell me what she saw or what she felt and had asked to leave moments later.
