The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 368

“More than any of us.” Klaus confirms

Maybe if I had spent more time around Raven, I could have seen what was coming before it was too late. Or maybe, this was how it was always meant to be. The higher powers worked in fucked up ways. That was becoming more and more obvious.

“How long will she sleep for?” I ask

“Possibly a few hours. As you are probably aware, it will be different for her now.”

“Good, I have somewhere I need to be.”

“I think you should stay.” Klaus blocks my way

“You said she isn’t going to be awake for a while and I need to make some fucker pay for this!”

“Who?” He challenges.

“I don’t know yet. But I will find out soon enough."

“Let Damien and Dane get answers. I’m sure someone saw something.” Klaus tells me, his words full of optimism. He really wouldn't have survived as a Hunter.

“I can’t just sit by her bedside. That’s not how I operate.”

“And what do I say to her if she wakes up?”

“Tell her that I’m going to kill the person who did this to her.”

I push past him and fling open the hospital doors. Everything is dark and the pack is quieter than usual. There are still some Wolves and Lycans plodding around, but not much else was happening.

Jogging down to the gates, I wanted to see who was on guard duty, but I also wanted to go out and check where Damien had found her. Maybe there were some tracks that had been missed. Maybe I could see something they couldn’t.

Ryken is standing at the gates. His attention focussed on the area outside the pack while the Wolf faced inwards. It was better than what I usually saw. Normally Wolves would stand chatting to each other.

“Ryken?!” I call out, but he doesn’t move from his spot.

“Hunter!” He growls back. "Is the girl okay?"

“Yes, seen anything?”

“No.”

“You didn’t see Madison either, did you?”
