The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 492

Dane

I cock an eyebrow at my mate. It was not the answer I was expecting. Shifting my gaze to Eris, I sigh as she remains curled up, sobbing. She reminded me of Raven and how she had been after rejection. The difference, I felt sorry for my sister whereas I felt nothing for this woman.

She had only been here for a short time and already she was a pain in my ass.

Pressing my lips to Neah’s forehead. I tell her I will be back in a little while.

“Get up.” I mutter to Eris.

She doesn’t move and continues to whimper in pain, but she had brought it on herself. Damien would never be happy with her.

“Get up!” I snap, pulling her to her feet by her elbow.

“Where am I going?”

“There is no place for you here. You get to leave, just like you wanted.” I tell her

“Really?”

I nod and guide her through the hospital. We pass Klaus but he doesn’t say anything. He had done what he could, but it just wasn’t going to work out. It would be too much of a risk to let her stay here. And she doesn’t acknowledge him either.

She shuffles along at an awfully slow pace and I had to keep tugging her forwards.

“Wait, this isn’t the direction of the gates.” she protests. "The gates are over there." she points in the opposite direction.

“We are not going to the gates.” I direct her into the forest

“Why?”

“Too many eyes. And Damien doesn’t want to see you.” I murmur

“Okay. You will have to point me in the right direction once we get to a road. I’m getting all turned around.”

I nod. She was already all turned around. “Cooper spoke of Silas?” I ask, wondering if I could get a tiny bit of truth from her.

“Yes. At first I thought they were made up stories, but after a while, I knew that they must be true.”

“How?”

“Facts, small details. They never changed.”

“Why did you panic when you saw me?” I ask

“Because you are the picture Cooper painted in my mind. You might look like him, you might not. But I do know from the stories, he has eyes just like yours. Strange and weird for a Wolf."

“And you could be lying.” I mutter as she scoots around a tree stump

“It’s hard sometimes.”

“What is?

“Everything.” She frowns as she ducks under a low tree branch

“Are you just saying it to try and get some sympathy votes, because that won’t work on me.”
