The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 358

Neah

I push myself upright too quickly and feel the blood rush to my head.

‘Nyx, are you good?’

She groans back at me and I leave her alone. As long as I could still hear her, she was still with me.

“Neah, stay still.” Dane tells me

“No…it’s fine. I’m almost healed.”

He reluctantly holds out a hand to help me as I get on my feet. I think he knew that I was going to get up regardless and there was no point trying to stop me.

Dane continues to hold on to me as we make our way across the road towards the three dead Wolves, like I was somehow going to fall face first into the ground any second.

The Wolves were interesting, even after death, neither one of them had any scent. How had they masked it from us? Especially Brax, he had always been able to single out the different species. However they had done it, it must have been recently.

“We need to get them out of the road.” Dane tells Eric. “If someone comes along here, it will draw too much attention. We don’t need any more unwelcome visitors at our gates.”

He hadn’t said anything about them being part of Black Shadow, but he is livid.

“Wait.” I mutter as Eric grabs the nearest man. “Have you searched them? They might have some information about why they did this or who they did this for.”

Brax stares at me "You're expecting me to find a phone number?"

"I don't know, maybe!" I retort

“The problem isn’t them, Neah." His eyes shift to Dane. "The problem is how many of your Wolves have turned against you.”

“They wouldn’t.” I snap. “They didn’t turn against Dane. It was me and you that they tried to kill.”

Eric checks them anyway, but ultimately finds nothing. Brax and Eric move the bodies from the road and into the trees as Dane guides me back in the direction of Black Shadow. His anger is rolling off of him, though he keeps his eyes forward.

“Dane?”

“I didn’t want you to come out here. You could have…..”
