The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 399

‘She needs to know.’

‘And she will, in the morning. It’s no good telling her now when she is already sleep deprived.’

I glance down at my mates face resting on my chest. She looked so peaceful and all that was about to change.

When I wake, she is still fast asleep. She has stripped off her remaining clothes and is sleeping on her stomach with the blanket barely covering her ass. I wish I could stay with her, but I could hear the boys stirring in the nursery.

Dressing first, I head into the nursery where both boys are wide awake and standing in their cots. They are both really happy to see me, but I do notice how Evrin looks to the door, looking for his mother.

It was definitely easier to get them ready before they learned to walk and squirm out of any hold. Now it felt like I was wrestling two octopuses anytime I got them ready for the day.

Taking them downstairs, Damien is already waiting for me. “Dottie is having breakfast. Have you told Neah?”

I shake my head. “She was exhausted last night and telling her would not have been helpful at all. She will have a clear head when she wakes up. Though he isn’t a Lycan so it’s unlikely that she will be able to do anything.”

He nods and takes a squirming Logan from me while pulling faces at him. “You’re certain he didn’t just leave?”

“Positive, I can’t sense him at all. It’s like he has just fallen off the face of the Earth.”

“I know I have already asked this, but do you think Brax….”

“No.” I cut him off. “I know Brax has issues, but I don’t believe he would do this. Besides, he hasn’t got the ability to take away someone else's abilities. There is only one person that we know of who is capable of that.”

“But why Klaus?” Damien questions. “Klaus never puts a foot out of line. From what we have learned from Blair and Maddie, Cooper punishes those who are ‘bad’. And Klaus, he just isn’t like that.”

“I know, and that’s what makes it more frustrating.”

We take the boys to the kitchen for some breakfast and Dorothy quickly runs past us.

“You don’t think he has done something like those Wolves that attacked Neah and Brax, do you?”

“If you had asked me a couple of days ago, that’s exactly what I would think. But Klaus has been a part of this pack for a long time. He has helped out in a lot of ways, he wouldn’t just turn his back.”
