The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 586

Brax

‘Dig deep.’ I tell Indy through our connection. ‘You have to find a fucking way.’

‘I’m not a good Witch. I was never good at it.’

I hear howls in the distance. Possibly below us somewhere.

‘We are going to die.’

‘Is that what you want? You want our insides smeared across the walls? Do you really want to give the bitch the satisfaction?’

‘No. I….’ The walls close in. It wouldn’t be long now and we would be sandwiched on all sides.

Howls grow louder and the walls appear to stop.

“Thalia,” I call out, knowing she couldn’t resist knowing we were close to death.

She doesn’t answer.

“Thalia!”

“Orion said they are trying to buy us time.” Indy whispers.

“Indy, she thinks you are weak. She believes she can just walk all over you and you are letting it happen.”

“I am weak.”

“I don’t believe that. I see a lot of confused souls and yours isn’t one of them. She has made you believe that you can't do this. She took away the one thing that gave you strength. I know I’m not your mate, and we are just Blood Tied, but you can use that. You have to. I’ve watched people get stronger by being connected to someone.”

“While we can still breathe, you need to do something. Concentrate. Search your memory for anything different. Something that happened a long time ago that you have buried deep down inside you.”

I squeeze her hand. “I’m not going anywhere.”

“You are like an annoying brother!” She tuts at me in the darkness.

I hear a muffled screech from below. I had no idea what they were up to. But I’m sure Thalia would make it so she returned to us as soon as possible.

Indy’s breathing slows. “There’s something from when I was younger. It’s not clear. I hated school. Like, really hated it. Witches were singled out. They were expected to be great. Powerful. I wasn’t. One day, the teacher was being a dick and all I kept wishing was for the school to crumble.”

“It did, didn’t it?”

“Bits of the ceiling at first. Then the cracks appeared in the wall from floor to roof. Everyone screamed and ran for cover.” There is a tiny hint of amusement in her tone. “I’ve never told anyone that.”

“They didn’t suspect it was you?”
