The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 451

That was a harsh thing to call a child. Though Dorothy had said he was bad.

She scratches at the wood of the chair, “Last night, I felt this need to protect the family. I checked everyone and set up camp outside Kades room just in case. Ryken found me this morning. The kid is nuts. He tried telling Ryken that I hit him to get me into trouble.”

“Did you?”

“No! I know I have a bad reputation, but no. Besides, Ryken saw.”

“You understand why I asked?”

She nods at me. “You are one of many that hates me. Once upon a time, I wouldn’t have cared, but I’m learning to accept it. Because I know that’s how it will always be. I made a lot of enemies.”

“You did. But right now, you are not the problem we need to deal with.”

She jumps up from the chair. “What… the fuck…. is that?”

I turn around to see a small black Lycan creeping towards me and laugh. “So someone can escape too.” I mutter as I pick Evrin up.

“Are you telling me that’s your kid?”

“No.”

“One of Neah’s?”

“Yes.”

“He can shift?”

“Is there something wrong with your eyesight? Obviously he can shift!” I retort

“But he is a kid. A baby.”

“And you had your abilities taken away from you. There is a lot of weird stuff happening in the world.”

“Does anyone else know?” She presses

“No, and it needs to stay that way.” I stare her down until she agrees.

“Are they going to bind him?” She follows me inside my home.

“Why would they do that?”
