The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 59

“I don’t know their names, but I assume it was Witches or a Witch that bound her. No one else has that kind of power.”

“That is why I am asking you.”

Devon shakes his head. “I don’t know what you want me to say, Alpha Dane. But there was no talk of a Witch or Witches. Trey worked hard to keep that pack concealed from other kinds. He wouldn’t let just anyone in.”

“What do you mean by that?” Alpha Dane demands

“Whoever bound her when she was a child would be the same one who bound her as an adult.”

“Do…do you know who he is talking about?” I ask Alpha Dane quietly. Maybe it was why he was so off with me.

“Not yet.” Alpha Dane mutters, He turns to the stairs, holding his hand out. “Come, it’s time for your lesson with Klaus.”

“Lesson? Ooh, what are you practising, fighting?” Devon asks as his hands curl around the bars. "Is this Klaus a handsome man too. It gets a bit boring seeing the same faces down here."

“Reading lesson.” I mutter, not really thinking about it.

“It’s about time someone taught you to read and write.”

“What….what did you say?” I had kept it a secret for so long. Raven figured it out. I blurted it out to Alpha Dane, but I had never told anyone else.

Devon doesn’t say anything, retreating back against the wall.

“Answer her?” Alpha Dane growls

“It’s nothing.”

“How… how did you know that?”

“My person on the inside told me.”

Alpha Dane knew I didn’t like talking about it. He knew there was no way on Earth I would easily tell another person. Even Trey thought I could read, when the truth was I just learned to figure out what things were without reading the label.
