The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 453

Madison fires the gun over and over until she is out of bullets. Each and every one somehow misses the bastard.

Creeping towards my shotgun, I point at him and blow his fucking head off.

Blood sprays my car, splattering Madison as the Rogue’s headless body slides down the side of the vehicle.

She flings the door open and runs to me, jumping up and wrapping her arms tightly around my neck.

"Let's get inside."

I lead her in through the back door of my house. “I need you to stay here while I get rid of the bodies. I don’t need any more turning up on my doorstep, not until I know what’s happened here.”

“Okay.” she whispers and I reload the gun for her.

“Just in case.” I mutter

I don’t see anyone else when disposing of the Rogues. I also don’t sense anyone else watching us, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t, especially if I’m losing my ability to sense them. I should have scented the one that knocked me to the ground. I should have seen it coming.

It didn’t matter now. They were both dead.

Lighting a match, I toss it on to their bodies, watching them go up in flames before walking away.

“Madison?” I call out as I enter my kitchen.

She doesn’t answer immediately. And then I hear a very weak and scared “Here!”

Slowly pushing open the door to the dining room. Cooper has Madison with her back pressed to his chest. An arm locked around her as he holds one of my fucking kitchen knives to her throat.

“You’re not here.” I growl

He pushes the tip of the knife into Madison's throat. She lets out a squeal as a bead of blood appears.

“You are still not here.”

“You are a smart Hunter, but a stupid one.”

“Maybe, but you are still not here in this house. You project yourself, right? Make it seem like you are present. You are clearly strong to be able to carry a weapon. Strong enough that you seem real. So how did you get here?”

“Does it matter? I will be able to find all of you, won’t I Maddie?” He drags her back a few steps. She squeezes her eyes shut, trying not to cry.

“You put something in her?” I demand

“No.” He smiles at me
