The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 434

“You’re making a joke?” I stare at him.

“Don’t you think it’s a little funny?” He smiles at me and I don’t answer

Cooper's eyes flicker between me, Dane and Ryken. “Where is my sister?”

“What have you done to him?” Dane demands, gesturing to Klaus

“Nothing much. He will be right as rain in a few days. And none the wiser that we were ever here.”

“You hurt him?” I ask. He claimed to be Klaus’s mate and yet he hurt him. Some men were just assholes.

“I couldn’t have him passing secret messages to you, could I?” Cooper beams at us. “Now where is my sister?”

“She is being held in the dungeon.” Dane replies

‘This is a trap!’ Nyx splutters.

“Well chop chop, go and get her.” Cooper demands

I step forward to the gate. My hands coil around the bars. “Why are you doing this? You don’t know us. We don’t know you.”

“You are right. We don’t know each other.” Cooper mutters

“Why Maddie?”

“Right time, right place.” He smiles back at me. “Come on, are you trying to tell me you have never taken advantage of a situation? Because I wouldn’t believe that. I have heard a lot about you, Neah. I know how you like to rip out people’s hearts.”

“Klaus told you that?”

“No.”

‘Jenson told Blair. Blair probably told him’. Dane links me.

Cooper shakes his head at me. “In fact Klaus didn’t give me much information no matter how I persisted. It’s really quite annoying that he would treat me this way. I am his mate.”

I snort. He was nuts.

“You think that’s funny?” He frowns at me

“I think you have a fucked up idea of what it is to be mates.” I glance at Klaus who has his head tilted down and is swaying on the spot. He was present and not present at the same time.

“None of this makes sense.” I mutter to Dane.
