The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 375

“What do you think his plan is?”

“He could be coming for you and it will be a bonus for him because he will find me too. Or he could want the female Alpha. I don't think Cooper ever really has a plan. He just rolls with the situation and takes advantage when he can.”

"Do you think he will attack Black Shadow?"

She puffs out her cheeks. "Without a doubt."

More Wolves and Lycans are going to lose their abilities because of me. Especially if he was already here. I would be the reason our kind falls.

I tell Sammie that I’m turning in for the night and she asks me if I’m okay.

“Just tired.” I lie. Guilt was weighing so heavily on me that I thought my lungs were going to be crushed.

I wait for hours after Sammie has gone to bed, just to make sure that she is asleep. Quietly I pull on a jacket and slip out of the house, being extremely careful to not make any noise.

Standing at the end of the drive. I weigh up my options. To go left to Black Shadow and hope for an easy and quick death, or go right and disappear for good and live the rest of my life as a Human. Neither options were ones I wanted.

Checking my pockets, I feel for the rectangle that is my credit card. I had found it stashed in my vanity table. Planted there when I first moved in as a just in case card. There was more than enough money on it to set me up with a new life, far away from any of this shit and somewhere where no one could find me. I had grabbed it just in case I turned right.

“Where are you going?” Sammie steps up next to me.

I close my eyes, I hadn’t heard her. I hadn’t even heard the door of the house. “You weren’t supposed to know.” I murmur

“I knew something was up when you went to bed at seven. You never go to sleep that early. Even when you were recovering from what that asshole did to you.”

“It’s too dangerous to be here.” I whisper back, her face is lit up by a single street light. It gives her grey eyes an eerie look. “If Neah found us, I'm certain Cooper can. Cooper could be watching us right now and neither one of us would know. Black shadow is a few miles that way or.....”

She places her hands on my shoulders and spins me around to look at her. “Who gives a shit if he is watching! He can’t do anything else to us. So I will ask you again, where are we going?” Sammie slips her hand into mine. “I will go wherever you want to go.”

“This is not who I am.” I mutter. “I don’t go to someone asking for help. I am the help. People have paid me to do their dirty work.”

“Okay.”
