The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 362

Dane

“It’s the better plan.” Brax nods as he messes with his mop of black curls. “Neah isn’t wrong. If there are others involved, they would expect her to come back looking like a mess. Or maybe never coming back at all.”

"And you don’t want us to tell Klaus?” Mallory asks as she bounces Logan on her knees, “Why?”

“As much as I appreciate all the work Klaus has done for this pack and for Neah, I’m worried someone will use his desire for knowledge to get information from him. He is very open about answering questions and that might just get him into trouble. The only people that need to know what is happening are in this office.”

Everyone nods apart from Neah. Her blue eyes lock onto mine but she keeps her lips pressed together. She knows there is more to what I’m saying, but chooses not to share.

“Any signs of Maddie?” Damien asks.

“No.” Neah sighs as she rocks back and forth with Evrin in her arms.

“And you didn’t kill Blair?” He presses.

“No.”

“She was scared.” Brax adds.

“You were scared?” Eric asks Neah, confused.

“No, Blair was.” Brax smiles to himself

“She deserves to be after everything she has done.” Damien frowns at Brax. “I thought you of all people would have ended her.”

I watch Brax look over at Neah. She had told him not to, though I hadn’t had a chance to ask her why.

‘Maybe because she has lost her abilities.’ Aero mutters. ‘Maybe she doesn’t see her as a threat anymore.’

“There were no others in the area. Eric and I did a sweep.” Brax is telling the others. “There were no other tracks. It was just those three.”

“But there were also no scents.” Neah adds. “There could have been more and we just didn’t know about it.”

“So they have found a way to completely mask their scent? How?" Damien asks

“Will you put that away!” I snap. Brax rolls his eyes at me and slips the gun inside his belt.

“What about the others? Past problems with them?” Damien asks Eric.

“No, in fact they have always done exactly what they are supposed to do. There has never been any trouble from them. Jenson didn’t fuck either one over. They have always been proud to have been part of Black Shadow.” He turns to me. “Just like everyone else. We could be dealing with any number of problems, Dane or we could just be dealing with this one Lycan. We just don’t know.”

“Can you tell?” Neah asks Brax

“Possibly,”

“I need a better answer than that.” She snaps at him

“I will see what I can do.”

“Don’t go killing any of them without talking to me first.” I tell him as he heads for the door.
