The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 486

Neah

“Are you sure there is nothing I can get you?” Dane asks softly as he sticks his head around the bathroom door.

I glare at him as my stomach churns and he silently retreats. Apparently I can watch someone have their foot hacked off, I can take part in skinning them alive and rip out their heart without a single desire to throw up and yet the smell of chicken has me rejecting the tiniest amount of food I had managed to eat.

“Dane, you are the Alpha, but you are not a woman. Let me go in.” Mallory mutters.

“Just tell her I’m going to speak to Damien.” He replies as Mallory scoots in around the door.

“Shit, you look horrendous.” she muses

Apart from the sweat, I was still covered in Cooper’s blood. Dane had picked me up off the chair and Mallory had come in with a freshly cooked chicken and since then, I had been in the bathroom, practically hugging the toilet. My throat burned, my stomach hurt and yet I was so damn hungry.

“I remembered these helped you last time.” She hands me a packet of ginger biscuits. “Not sure if they will this time, but it's worth a try.”

I take one from the pack and nibble on it and it seems to do the trick, for now. “This is worse than last time.” I mutter as she sits on the floor next to me

“I’m sure it will get better.”

“I’m sorry. This is probably the last thing you want to deal with.”

“Don’t be silly and I have Luca now. But maybe it is time for you to get checked out. Just to make sure everything is good.”

“It will be too early to see anything. Raven told me that the first time round.”

“But didn’t she find something?”

“Fine, let me at least shower first.”

“I will be right outside if you need me.” She gets to her feet first and offers me a hand.

As she closes the door, I turn the shower on and strip out of the shirt. The hot water is refreshing as it hits my skin. For a moment I watch the streaks of red disappear down the drain, washing away the last of that asshole.

‘Neah, something is wrong.’ Nyx murmurs as I feel the pounding beat of my heart against my rib cage.

‘With the baby?’ I didn’t want to end up on bed rest again. Especially not this early.

‘No. Us. Call for Mallory.’
