The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 354

Abraxas

“Why did you really want to come?” I query.

“Maddie is my responsibility.” She keeps her eyes on the road ahead

“No, she isn’t. She is a woman that came to you in the hopes of getting out of a shitty arrangement, that doesn’t mean you owe her anything.”

“You may think that, but I don’t.” She pauses. “I don’t want people to be loyal to me just because of my title. That’s not true loyalty.”

“You continuously surprise me Neah Kitson.”

“Dane will do anything for his Wolves. I want to do the same for the Lycans. I lived in a lie for so long before I met him. I was brought up watching Trey and Cassandra run a pack and I will never be anything like them. Dane has taught me alot.”

“Looks like you are finally finding your feet.” From the corner of my eye, I see her smile. She just wanted confirmation that she was doing the right thing.

I stop the car to do another check and Neah grabs hold of my arm. “I know this place.”

There is a dim light coming from a nearby house. A dirty Porsche sits on the drive, the grass in the garden is as tall as my knees. If it weren’t for the small light, I would have said the house was abandoned.

“This is Blair’s house.” She mutters

“You’ve been here?”

“No. When they were holding Mallory hostage, this is the house number she gave me. Why would Blair return here after what Samara told us?” She scowls and her knuckles are white as she clenches the door handle. "Surely it would be too risky?"

“Stay here, I will go and check it out.”

“No.” She pushes the car door open and hurries towards the house. I quickly follow and her hand pauses before she knocks on the door. I see her sniff the air, checking that we are alone and she pounds her fist against the door, making the people on the other side scream.

I had to hold in a laugh. You don’t tend to hear Wolves or Lycans scream from being startled. It’s hilarious. Though they weren’t really Lycans anymore. This is going to be fun.

I hear Samara trying to whisper on the other side of the door. Something that doesn’t get past my ears. “Who would know we are here?”

An answer is followed by Blair. A voice I hadn’t heard in a long time. “No one! No one saw us come in. Do you think he found us?”

"I don't think he is the type of guy to knock!"
