The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 428

He stares at me, trying to mask his annoyance.

“You are missing the point, Brax. This is not a situation we can just blast through and win. Do you not see that? He has been working on this for a long time. Whatever this is. Blair isn’t his first victim and Maddie won’t be his last. Blair said there were others in the prison with her. We still don’t know what he wants."

"At one point, we thought it was me and yet he went after your mate and then there is Samara. The asshole has abused her and she can’t see that. Cooper is using her and she is just going along with it because he has somehow convinced her that he is keeping her safe.”

“So you want to help her?”

I frown, “I am saying I need time to think. There’s not just one thing happening in the pack is there?” I snap, as I think about the little Lycan that is fast asleep in his cot upstairs. Shifting while asleep was not something I thought was possible, but Evrin had done it.

“Where is Dane?” I ask

“Last I saw him, he was speaking to Eric. He said something about wanting to speak to his Betas. I’m sure he will be back soon.”

I nod

“I know I’m an asshole, but if you need to talk about something, I am all ears.” Brax relaxes into the sofa. “Maybe I can shed some light.”

“It’s nothing.”

He cocks a brow at me. “You are a rubbish liar. Did you know that?”

“And you can be really irritating! And you are worse when you haven’t killed anyone.”

“Think of it as keeping me sane. It’s getting harder and harder for me to be who I am. I’m a Hunter, you know that. I used to go out and kill nightly. Being here, around Madison, you and even Mallory is making it almost impossible to be the man I was raised to be.”

"See, not all Lycans are assholes."

He smiles at my comment

“That’s why you want to go after Cooper? You need to kill?”

He nods. “I need blood shed. Hunter’s thrive on it.”

“Klaus doesn’t.”

“Are you sure about that?”

“He’s not really a killer.”

“He likes to help in the hospital a lot, doesn't he? Maybe he just thrives in a different way. Though I don’t think he would make a great Hunter, he is too…. relaxed. But there are elements of it in him. Excellent diversion tactic by the way.”
