The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 522

Dane

“She has a home.” I growl

“It’s not her true home is it? She is not in a place where she is one hundred percent protected.” Silas tells me

"She has me and the pack!" I snarl

“I can protect myself.” Neah huffs, putting her hands on her hips.

“Just like you did in the ocean?” Silas replies. He waves his fingers dismissively. “I am not here to force you to come with me. It will always be an invitation. A choice. Your own freewill. I am purely offering you an opportunity that you may not have been aware of.”

“An opportunity?” The sarcasm rolls off of her

“Bullshit.” I snap. “You said it yourself, the Alpha you follow is temporary. You need Neah to take over his position in White Cliffs.”

“I will admit that it is what the Alpha wants and needs. He is old. He has outlived all his friends, his mate. He is desperate to spend his final years not having to be a leader and gaining some well earned rest. Until that pup is born, you are the rightful heir, Neah. I, however, am just the messenger.”

“Messenger?” I snort. If my father knew what had happened to his other son, he would be disgusted.

“What happens if he dies while still holding the Alpha position?” Neah asks

“There are protocols in place, but I will assume that everyone will leave to come and locate you. They all heard your link. Well the Lycans did. There were celebrations for days. You still lived. They saw hope for the future. Some even prepared to leave.”

"Prepared, but didn't actually leave?" I ask

He nods but doesn't answer me.

“The people of White Cliffs are desperate to know they have someone to follow. It’s how they thrive. From what I know, when your mother ran away, there was uproar, chaos, even suicides.”
