The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 503

“I don’t regret it.”

“Liar.”

“I’m not the only one lying to myself, am I?” She winks at me. “Spill.”

Her pace is quick as she follows me across the grounds to the burnt out packhouse. She doesn’t push for more information, well not verbally anyway. Just her presence was enough to know she wasn’t leaving until I had given her something. She had always been the same and a lot of the time, her persistence pays off.

She comes to an abrupt stop next to me and looks up at what was left of the packhouse.

“This isn’t why you had that look on your face.” She mutters

“I’m not ready to talk about it.” I try, hoping that for once, she would just drop it.

“Okay, so tell me why you have come here.”

“Work has started.”

“I’ve seen that.”

“I might as well help.” I tell her

“Damien.”

“It’s fine.” I snap and she just stares at me. “Sorry, that was a little abrupt.”

“Just a little. What’s going on?” This time there was no teasing, she wanted to know. Maybe if I just give her the minimum.

“There is alot going on in my head right now.”

“I can see that. But you know as well as I do that it’s best to get it out.”

“I went to Raven’s grave.” I sigh

“Okay.”

“I haven’t been there since she was buried.” I mutter

“Why now?”

“I felt like I had too.”

“Because of Eris?” She asks

“Partly.”

“Because there is someone else?”
