Filed to story: The Alphas Contract Novel by Taylor West >>

I look at Dane, hoping that he would decide no, but all I hear are his words tellingthat it was my choice. “Cutside.” I snap “Afraid I will hurt those twins of yours?” She smirks atRage screams through me. How dare she think she has the right to mention my sons. Every fibre of my being was drenched in the need to rip her heart from her chest.

Danes hand slips into mine. I knew what he was doing. His warmth spreads through me, trying to soften the tension that revealed itself. She grins at me, but the grin doesn’t meet her eyes. They may be the only thing that separated us, but at least mine didn’t look dead.

Taking a deep breath, I stare at her. “Jenson told you about them.” He had learned that they were Lycans just before he left. “What else did he tell you about? She’s luring you in.” Nyx mutters softly Blair laughs and turns away. “Are you coming?” she calls out. Dane and I follow her out the house, keeping a small distance from her.

“Daddy dearest was with my mother first.” She spins around, looking up at the night sky. “It really is beautiful here. It would make a fine home.” “He fell in lovebut on the day mother found out she was pregnant with me, he four his mate. You see hex never bothered to claim my mother. And neymatter how much she begged him. And no matter row many promises he made te:cback to her. He never did ” “And how is that my fault?!” I snap, desperate to get back to my boys “I’m just telling you the truth. He led her on. Telling her that he just needed to find the right moment. That was until he put you in your mother’s belly.

“That’s when the promises began, but the only way he could be with” my mother was by rejecting his – mate: because, well, I’m sure you already know what happens.in the ene, I he chose you.”

I snort.

“That’s funny to you.” She scoffs “It’s hilarious.” I growl. I could feel that darkness seeping further and further into my bloodstream. “Neah.” Dane whispers. I knew he could feel it too.

“So what, you’re jealous? Is that it? You missed out on being raised by a father?

“You have no idea how I watched my bound?” mother suffer.” “Have you ever been snap. @knew my eyes were black by the way Dane was gripping my hand Blair’s eyes narrow at me. ‘Let’s see. My parents boundwhen I was a newborn.” I somehow always becmare sarcastic when I was about to shift. “Oh, and then again a couple of years later.”

“You’ve been bound….twice?” I see how her spine straightens. So Jenson hadn’t told her everything; Q.”Pfeel in the the pain in the tips tips of my fingers. My claws getting ready to break through the soft skin at any moment “More… but you are “I think the word you are looking for is ‘alive’.

‘Neah!” Dane is more demanding this time. I lock at him and follow his gaze dową to our interlocked hands m Claws were slowly creeping out of” my fingertips. I had spent months afraicof shifting again, but I. will doit forthem. I will do anything 1 protect those boys.

Dane flashes his crimson eyes at Blair. “I suggest you leave and don’t cback.”

Blair He was a fucking asshole. Not once did he mention that she had the ability to control her shift. Nor did he tellthat she had been bound, more than once. I was furious as I watched thick claws grow from the tips of her fingers. Her eyes change from the soft blue Jenson had described to pure black. I had never seen anything like it I can’t control the fucking situation if I don’t have all the information and it was bad enough that I was having to wear these shitty cheap clothes that are irritating the crap out of my skin.

Innocent. I needed to be innocent in my role. And I had screwed that up by mentioning her pups. Too eager, I needed to reset. I take a step back and raise my hands. “I’m sorry.” I mutter. The word is like acid burning my tongue. I don’t do apologies.

“Talking about what he did, rilesup.” It wasn’t a lie. What our father did pissedoff more than anything in the world and I desperately wanted to correct what was wrong “Leave!” Dane tells me. He still had a tight hold on my darling half sister.

“I’m going….I’m going.” I reach into the ghastly denim jeans and pull out a small card. Tossing it on the ground between us. “If you want to know more, meetat the tand location on the card.’ I turn away. This was not part of my plan, but somehow, seeing her, had the resentment bubbling close to the surface, ready to boil over at any second. It had taken every ounce of self control to keep it under the surface. To keep my emotions buried.

Dane has someone followto the exit. He keeps his distance and doesn’t speak. His long dark hair billowing around him in the night breeze. Ugh! I hate men with long hair.

I don’t turn back when I’m outside the gates either. That would look confrontational and at the moment, I need to make them lock like the bad ones.

Walking another mile, I find Jenson leaning against my Porsche, he looked so much better in a black suit. It made him lock far more superior and in control than the day he walked into my life.

“That was quick.” He straightens his spine “And there is a lot of shit you didn’t tell me.” I stop in front of him but he keeps his beautiful dark eyes averted. Eyes that I had cto love. “We can’t do this if you don’t telleverything!” “You were supposed to get to know her. That was the plan.” “You should have told me.” “Would it have changed anything?” I press my lips into a thin line. “How is she alive after being bound?” I snap “I don’t know.” He mutters. “She has been bound four times that we know of.” “Four? You are tellingshe has really been bound four times and still lives. No one should be able to survive twice. Fucking bitch is more powerful than I realised.

“And she can control her shift?” “She shifted?” He asks in surprise “She started too.” He bobs his head and sucks in his cheeks. My. Rand launches forward, grabbing 1 hig cheeks, squeezing and” forcing i Him to look at me. I may fet him have all the control when itv comes to sex. But when it comes to myTife, I get exactly what I want.

‘I have Aspen.” He murmurs through a fish pout.

“Wolf Alpha blood.” I mutter, letting go of his face He rubs his cheeks, “It’s the sfor her. She has a Lycan spirit inside her. Nyx.” “Are you fucking serious? Why the hell haven’t you mentioned this to me? ‘I don’t know. Is it important?”

“Everything isimportant! Does a part of you want-this to fail?” I demand.

He had said over over and over that thig is what fi te wants, but in my = experience, if they don’t tell you.

everything, it’s because they.are not realy. Conten belongs to.~ sw.& “Yes. “Then you need to telleverything. Every damn little detail. Get in the car! I drove back to the new apartment, it’s a few miles out from the city. But closer to Black shadow.

“You got in alright.” He mutters as we pull on to the main road “You were right.about one thing.” keep my eyes in front. “The as thought Iwas her, but havenom when put intention of wearing clothes like this again shudder. Neah really needed to pull herself together and look the part.  = “What did you think?” He asks quietly Oshare “Of Neah? I think dearest Daddy’s genetics are strong.” That’s all I share right now as my mind works, running through possible next steps. “Inside.” I snap as I pull the car under the porch. He rolls his eyes atbefore slipping out of the car.

I sit alone for a few minutes. Why hadn’t Dane let her shift? He had held onto her, sweet talking in her ear as she had stared at me.

By the tI get inside, Jenson had already poureda glass of wine. I kick off the damn trainers. The arches of my feet are killingfrom the flat footwear. Giveheels any day.

I settle on the sofa as he pours himself a whisky.

“Everything. I don’t care if we are up all night. I need to hear everything. She has killed, right, that’s true?” He nods. “She likes to go for the heart. She shifts to kill. She never shifts just to run or anything else. At least she never used to.
