The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 232

Neah

“It’s good right, that he’s dead?” Raven asks as she crawls into my bed next to me. The twins were asleep and I had been making the most of the quietness until Raven came charging in my room.

“I don’t know.”

She eyes me suspiciously, “Because Blair allegedly killed him?”

“Don’t you think it was all a little too easy for her? Damien tracked him for a month and still couldn’t kill him. When Salem was here, none of us could get a hand on him. Instead, he destroyed countless lives.”

“Okay, so you have a point.” She mutters. I still didn’t understand it or what Blair wanted and everyone had a different opinion.

Raven opens a bar of chocolate and starts nibbling on it while trying to think of something to say. “I get that maybe she was helping Jenson get revenge, but you are right, it does seem too easy.”

“I mean, he is definitely dead, Neah. I watched the colour drain from Damien’s face. He may have tried acting all macho but you could see it, he was in pain.”

“Could they have faked it? Maybe Salem is working with them too.”

She shakes her head. “Salem killed Jess. there is no way in hell that Jenson would work with him. And you can’t fake the pain of losing a sibling.”

“But no one expected him to work with a Lycan either, not after he blamed Dane for bringing Damien and Mallory here.”

“Hmm.” She frowns and offers me a piece of her chocolate, though I shake my head. “Damien has a theory.” She mutters, shoving the piece into her mouth. How she wasn’t the size of a house was beyond me. She is always eating.

“Spill.”

“He thinks it's an attempt to get closer to you.”
