The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 381

Neah

It was weird to hear her pleading with me. I had heard it a little bit at her house. Yet now she is full of desperation, a million miles away from how she introduced herself to me. Maybe because she’s surprised to learn the truth about her friend. Maybe because she genuinely meant it.

‘We could just kill her.’ Nyx grins gleefully. ‘She keeps asking. And she was prepared to destroy our life. It only seems fair.’

Blair drops her gaze when I don’t answer her question. “I get it, you're torturing me. Never letting me know when the final blow is going to come so I live in fear, waiting.” She rocks in her chair. “It’s a weird feeling, fear.”

“You get used to it.” I mutter back. It was a lie, you never get used to it.

She mulls over my words, “Jenson told me everything that happened to you, before Dane”

“I told you too, well some of it, but it didn’t change anything, did it?! Even when you learned how bad things were for me, it didn’t change how you felt. It didn’t change what you thought I deserved or what you deserved. Only now, when you have lost your identity, you claim to have changed.” She knew everything and yet she had still been prepared to ruin my life when she barely knew me. A half sister and she didn't even bother wanting to get to know me.

Her eyes flick up to me. “You are the Alpha.”

Nyx snorts, ‘How can she be acting like she didn’t know? That was her goal.’

“I..” She pauses for several heartbeats. “It’s a bitter pill to swallow. But what I have learned is that I am not the person I once was. Everything hurts. Everything is different. I’m not who I was and I know you don’t believe that.”

“You're right, I don’t.”

She sighs. “Maybe this was always the plan for me. You know, payback for the trouble I have caused and inflicted. Maybe this is punishment for Jenson. For you, for everything.” She laughs to herself and shakes her head. “There is always someone worse.”

They had both said that. Blair and Samara. “Who has said that to you?”
