The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 424

“My escort?”

“He wants to keep a specific eye on you. Not my choice, but I do not get a say in the matter.”

“Who?” I ask quietly, already fearing the answer.

“The Hunter. So I suggest…”

“I do everything he asks and answer his questions.” I answer quickly

He nods. “You will be over in the gardens today, checking the fruits and veg and doing some weeding.”

“I can do that.” Though I wasn’t quite sure how I will feel with Abraxas breathing down my neck.

“Here,” Mum holds out a paper bag for me. “I made you some lunch.”

“You didn’t….”

“I know. I will see you later.”

A new feeling was bubbling up inside of me and I was certain I was going to cry again but not from anger or sadness. From something else entirely

“Thanks.” I whisper, but she had already turned away.

I open the door to see Abraxas rubbing his temples. “So you didn’t try to run then? I was counting on it.”

“So you would have another reason to kill me?” I ask

“Maybe. Though it does seem like you are catching on. Let’s go. I hope you have green fingers.”

I follow him to the gardens, rows and rows of different plants that multiple people were working on. They all look up and glare at me. Abraxas nods to a woman with long red wavy hair. She slowly makes her way towards me with a bucket of small tools.

Pulling off a glove she holds her hand out to me. “I’m Maddie.”

“You’re the woman they talked about. The one that was stripped of her abilities?”
