The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 371

“You said the nurse was upstairs.” Damien presses, “Checking on your mate.”

“Sienna is upstairs, she is Kira’s best friend. She is seeing if she can find any clues as to where Kira might have gone. Sienna was here with him when I was working on the gate.” He nods at the pup in his arms.

“So you lied about her labour in the hopes that what?” I demand. “I wouldn't notice when your mate doesn’t appear.”

“I don’t know. I didn’t think that far ahead. I’m going to look for her.”

“Tracking her down? That’s not going to be ideal with a pup in tow. In fact it’s fucking stupid.” Damien shakes his head

“Um,” Mako’s brow knits together and creases appear across the top of his nose.

“You haven’t thought about that either?” Damien asks

“I could manage. I could look after him while looking for Kira.”

“No you couldn’t, though it was a good thing to bring him here. He’s going to need it when he is older.” Damien tells him.

“Are you saying what I think you are saying?” I ask. Though I'm annoyed that he hadn't mentioned it before.

‘Well Brax could have warned us.’ Aero sneers.

'So could Damien!' I mutter

Damien nods, “That pup is a Lycan.”

“WHAT?!” Mako lets go of the pup, like he was dropping a grenade. Damien flings himself forward, catching the pup before he has a chance to bounce his tiny head off the floor.

Footsteps move upstairs and Sienna appears, leaning over the bannister. She freezes. She would have already known we were in the house so why was she acting like she had just been caught red handed?

Damien straightens up, the newborn cradled against his chest as he glares at Mako. "You shouldn't have done that."

“GET DOWN HERE! I growl at Sienna.

She keeps her eyes on me, but fiddles with her pink hair as she slowly moves down the steps. I point to the spot next to Mako. She side steps around us, her heart racing as I throw the scrunched up paper down at their feet. “Which one of you wrote this?” I demand.

They glance at each other. “Kira” They both speak in unison.

“Bullshit.”

“It’s Kira’s!” Mako mutters

Damien steps back as I squat in front of Mako and grip his face. My nails create crescent moons in his skin. “Kira has done work for me. I would recognise her handwriting anywhere. So I will ask you again, who wrote this?”
