The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 437

Klaus

“That doesn’t make any sense. How can it not be him?” Neah demands. “I watched him stab you. I watched you kill him. You stabbed him in the eye!”

“It’s….”

“Are you saying this was one of his abilities?” Ryken asks

“Yes.” I look to Dane, hoping that maybe he would be able to explain it better than I could.

“Are you trying to tell me it’s a twin?” Neah searches my face, looking for an answer.

I turn back to the fire. Not even a hint of an aroma of burning flesh. It’s what I would have expected if it was him.

“Dane?” Neah asks. “I don’t understand.”

“Klaus didn’t kill him.” He tells her

“I’m right here. I saw it happen.”

“There’s something called astral projection.” Ryken explains

“Astral projection? He stabbed Klaus!” Neah mutters

Dane cups her face and tilts it up until she is facing him. “Remember how I told you Witches have different capabilities?”

“Yes but….”

“He was never here, Neah. But his projection was strong enough that he was able to wield a weapon. It is why you can’t smell any burning flesh. It is why when the fire burns out the body will either remain or it will disappear for good, leaving just the blade.”

On cue, the blade clatters to the ground. Turning to the fire, I watch it slowly burn out. Nothing but the blade remained, just as Dane had said.

“So he can be in two places at once?” Neah asks as Dane moves towards the blade.

“Yes, though it could be more depending on the strength he has.” I reply

“If he wasn’t here, how was I able to force him to let go of you?”

“Because you did find his weak spot. From what I know, projecting takes a lot of work. When he thought he had killed me, it did weaken him. The problem is, he knows that now and is likely going to find a way to make sure that never happens again.”

“So if he wasn’t coming after us before, he is now?” Ryken asks
