The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 391

I continue rocking on the spot until I could feel Evrin’s grip relaxing, he was finally falling asleep after barely sleeping last night.

“So we just wait?” I ask quietly.

“Yes.” Dane nods. “Though I would still prefer for you to stay inside. I do not need Cooper getting his hands on you.”

I smile, “I will just kill him.”

“You won’t be able to if he drugs you first.”

“Let me take him, you are exhausted.” Dane peels a crying Evrin out of my arms. It’s almost three in the morning and he hasn't stopped since the sun went down. Nothing soothed him. He is clingy yet doesn’t want to be touched. He couldn’t even stand to be next to his twin. Thankfully, Logan is still fast asleep in the nursery and we had brought Evrin into our room to keep it that way.

“Do you think he is ill?” I was on the brink of crying. It’s heartbreaking when you can’t even help your own child. It’s even worse because I could feel his pain. I just didn’t know where that pain was coming from.

Dane shakes his head at me. “He ate, his nappy was full when I changed him. He doesn’t have a temperature.” He walks back and forth, crading our son like he was a newborn. “I’ve linked Klaus to come and take a look at him.”

“You do think there is something wrong?” My tone is full of worry. I wish it wasn't, but I couldn't help it.

“No, but I know you do, so Klaus is coming and he can reassure you.”

He continues to move back and forth but Evrin is relentless. And when I hear that knock on the door, relief floods through my body.

Klaus thoroughly examines my son, and eventually shakes his head at Dane.

“Something has to be wrong.” I snap, pulling Evrin into my arms.

“Physically, he is sound.” Klaus sighs. “He has no temperature, no problems with his joints, no swelling anywhere. I’m sorry, Neah, but whatever this is, it’s not medical. How long has he been crying?”

“Almost six hours.” Dane replies.

“And he hasn’t cried himself to sleep?” Klaus queries

Dane shakes his head and presses his lips into a thin line. He would be lying if he said he wasn't concerned.
