The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 561

Silas

Orion lifts the little wooden door from above my head. Daylight almost blinds me after being sat in the darkness for several hours, listening to the sounds of the crashing river echoing through the tunnel. He reaches in a hand and pulls me out with ease. Casting a glance around the room, I see that we are in someone’s lounge.

As the wooden hatch shuts, Indy quickly flattens a worn rug back over it. “Sorry” she mutters. “I didn’t think I would be so long. This is my home. You should be safe here.”

I stare at her. “If I didn’t believe what I had seen, I would have thought you were setting me up.”

“I’m sorry. Thalia’s guards were on the move. The problem with you is that your scent is quite strong, but luckily for you,” She gestures to the floor, “It’s blocked down there. I went to the healer a few days ago and stole something that hides it and now we need to hide yours while you are out and about.”

She pulls a necklace out from under her sweatshirt. A small key dangles from the thin leather. She tugs it over her head as Orion removes a few books from a bookshelf. The books conceal a keyhole. Indy slots the key in easily, opening up a small trapdoor. Inside were a few vials with different coloured liquids.

“I thought that side of you was weak.” I watch her soul, ready for a lie

“It is, these are all stolen.” She mutters as she checks each one, “You never know when you might need something.” She glances at Orion, “Don’t judge, it’s helped us both out.”

Orion rolls his eyes. But I liked her honesty, though I’m surprised she had lasted this long with being so truthful. If you are in a pack where someone is trying to gain all the power, you weed out the problems first. Maybe she had been overlooked because her Witch side wasn’t strong. But she was smart.

She continues to rummage through the small vials and finds one with a blue liquid. “This hides your scent.” She holds it up between her thumb and forefinger. “You should be able to move around without a problem. But you need to place a drop on your tongue every hour.”

“Unless they are all blind, it is no help at all.” I tut

“Well… That’s the thing, they are pretty much blind.”

“Thalia took their eyesight?” Some of my methods were questionable but to blind people for the sake of power. That was different.
