The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 467

Klaus

“You are going to leave?” She asks quietly

I nod. “I need to find out more about who I am. And I know you understand that, probably better than anyone.”

“Have you told anyone else?”

“I only decided a little while ago.”

She looks past me at my books. “Where will you go?”

“Wherever the road takes me.” I smile at her. “I’m not saying goodbye just yet and when I do, it won’t be forever. Since this news about me has come to light, I can’t stop wondering. I mean, I have done research on you, other Lycan’s, even Brax, but I’ve never fully looked into myself. I’ve never felt the need.”

“Until now?”

“Until now.” I confirm, “And I know nothing apart from what my first pack told me. Which was extremely limited.” I gesture for her to take a seat.

“It will be weird without you here. Who will be the pack doctor?”

“Some of the nurses that have helped me are more than qualified. They will be around to help you deliver the new pup or pups.”

“You knew?”

“Doesn’t take a genius. Especially when you have been rubbing your stomach since you have been here. How far along are you?”

“It’s early,” she mutters, “Why is everyone so sure it’s more than one?”

“Twins run in the Black family.”

“Dane isn’t a twin.” she replies and I press my lips together. He hadn’t told her. “Klaus?”

“Dane was a twin when his mother carried him.”

“What?”

“I’m sorry, I honestly thought you knew.” I mutter, half cursing myself for telling her. “His twin was stillborn."

She stares at me with her jaw dropped.

“It’s not something he talks about.” I try to cover up my mistake. Dane might actually murder me. “I really thought you knew, Neah.”

“No….no, I did not.” She looks down at her stomach. “And all I came here to do was ask you to help me set Cooper up. Now I understand why Dane keeps saying it’s more than one.”

I figure it’s best not to respond

“Can I have some water?” she asks quietly

“Sure.” I head to the kitchen and when I return, Neah is thumbing through the current book I was reading.
