The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 379

I stare at the Lycan in shock. “No, you are wrong. You think you know something and you don’t. You don’t know her. You haven’t even given her a chance!” I defend Sammie.

“Can I tell her?” Damien asks Dane. His dark eyes lighting up.

“I think we should wait for Brax.” Dane replies with a shrug of his shoulders.

My spine stiffens on its own accord and my body is immediately filled with dread. It would be him, Abraxas Adler. He would take the shot, I still didn’t understand why he hadn’t when he came to my house.

There’s an uncomfortable knot in my stomach that I cannot force down. One that wants me to flee, to escape the uncertainty. Fucking Human traits.

“Just talk to her.” I plead. Sammie would hate being locked away, especially after five years of freedom.

“I’m not interested in what she has to say, not just yet.” Dane tells me

I drop my gaze, there was no way I could overthrow these guys. I may have stood a chance once, but not anymore. And it seems like talking to them is becoming a pointless task. But I had to try. I had to make them see that I was no longer a threat.

I clear my throat. “Why do you think that she talked me into coming back here?”

“Because that’s exactly what she did.” I hear his deep voice from behind and then feel something pressing into the back of my head. I close my eyes and count, waiting. Would I even hear the sound or would I already be dead?

“Brax, put the gun down.” Dane tells him.

It’s removed from my skull, but I continue to hold my breath. He didn’t have to obey Dane. Hunters didn’t work for anyone unless they chose too. So there was still a good chance he could blow my brains out at any second.

“Speak.” Dane tells me. He stares at me and all I could wonder was how Neah liked them, his crimson eyes gave me the creeps.

“About what? I told them everything when they came to the house.”
