The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 595

Brax

I cock a brow at her, “Have you seen the rocks below?”

“Yes.” She pivots around to Orion, who is standing at another window. “It’s what she said, okay. The tide isn’t always this low and…”

“If we don’t hit it perfectly, we die anyway.” I tut.

“I know what she said sounds insane." She stares at me with wide eyes. "Do we really have a lot of choice? The rest of the castle is surrounded by the people of White Cliffs. I don’t know what Thalia is capable of getting them to do, but I also don’t want to find out. We all know there is no way we are walking out the front door and surviving.”

“If we let her live…”

“She has a point,” Klaus interrupts. “If we leave any part of the castle that takes us out onto land, we are outnumbered. You said it yourself, Brax.” He moves over to the window and carefully opens it. The crashing waves echo around the room. I see what’s left of Amy’s soul light up at the sound. It was familiar to her, something she had heard every day and every night as she slept in this room.

“If we survive. We could go back to Black Shadow." Klaus continues, "We would have the numbers. Neah is there. We have the Lycans and Wolves. We could come up with a better plan than hiding in a castle, waiting for death.”

“If we do that, would Orion and I be welcome?” Indy asks quietly. “I do understand that we are not from there. I don’t know what it takes to become part of it. I just…” She trails off, looking over at Orion. “We want a home. And it’s where Silas is.”

It wasn’t a question I could answer. It wasn’t my decision, and I couldn’t guarantee that Dane or Neah would let her stay just because I said she was okay. Klaus is also reluctant to respond after the whole Eris situation.

Eris. I hadn’t thought about her for a while. She said she was from White Cliffs, though she didn’t know Silas. How is that possible, given Silas’s role within the pack?

“What’s that face?” Indy asks. “Do you think we won’t be allowed?”

"We can figure that out later," Klaus tells her.

“Different train of thought,” I mutter when she continues to stare at me.

"Just say it! Neah won't want us there, will she?"
