The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 454

Neah

“Brax is gone? Is he coming back?” I ask

‘What an idiot.’ Nyx mutters

‘Oh, decided to stop ignoring me now?’ I mutter back, but she doesn’t answer

Eric hands me a folded up piece of paper. “It’s unclear. All it says is that he needs to figure out what is happening to him.”

“So he does know something is wrong with him.” Dane mutters as he swings Logan up onto his shoulders.

“I’m guessing so, but Maddie has gone with him.”

“He made her?” I ask. I knew they were mates but Maddie said the pack was the only place she felt safe.

“No.” Mallory replies. “Well at least it doesn’t look like it. I went and looked around her room for clues, a few basic things are missing, but it doesn’t look like either of them left in a hurry. It looked like they had planned it.”

“After Cooper?” Dane frowns as I pass him the note.

“I know Brax wants Cooper dead, but I don’t think he would put Maddie back in harm's way.” Mallory mutters

“The problem is, we can’t link either one of them if they are in trouble.” I groan

Fucking Brax and his need to get things done.

“You better tell them the other thing.” Eric tells Mallory.

“Is this about Kade? I’m about to go over there now.” Dane replies

“No. There was a little bit of a situation earlier.” Mallory drops her gaze

“He shifted, didn't he?” I look down at Evrin who is pulling at Danes shoe laces

“Yes. I don’t want you to get mad. They were asleep. Ryken asked me to keep an eye on Blair when he went to speak to Eric about Kade. She sat right there.” Mallory points at the chair on her porch.

“Evrin had already shifted. You didn’t warn me he could climb out his cot and well, he made his way out here.”

“Blair knows?” Dane asks with a cocked brow

“Yes.”

“Did she touch them?”

“No, she freaked out and then asked why no one else knew. Actually, it was weird to see her scared. Nothing like the person that turned up here to announce herself. And definitely not like the woman that held me to a chair and stabbed me in the leg. I’m sorry, Neah. He was asleep. I swear else I would never have agreed to watching her.”
