The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 458

Damien steps out of the house with a scarf partially covering his face, the remnants of smoke littered the remainder of his face.

“I thought you might be with Dorothy?”

He pulls the scarf from the bottom half of his face. “Athena picked her up seeing as her biological father has walked away.” His annoyance, evident. I understood why he was pissed. I couldn’t imagine walking away from my boys.

Damien looks back to the house. “I’m sorry.” He mutters

“Everyone is alive, that’s what counts.”

“Do you know who did this?”

“Yes, and I still can’t quite believe it.”

He raises a brow at me.

“Kade.”

“As in the kid who attacked Dottie? That little shit?”

“Yes and I’m about to go and tell his father.”

“I don’t agree on many things with Brax, but that kid needed his ass whooping a long time ago.”

“The problem is, he has now done a runner.”

Ryken looks around me when he opens the door. Clearly expecting to see his little bastard of a son. “You’re alone?”

“We need to have a conversation about Kade?”

“Was he hurt in the explosion? I would know if he was, right?”

“It’s more serious than that. Maybe it’s a good idea if I come in.”

He stands back to let me in the house. I see Blair sitting at the table playing a game with Ryken’s youngest son. Her brown eyes momentarily pause on me before continuing the game.

“Calihan, Blair, can you go to your rooms please.” Ryken requests

“Actually, Blair can stay. She might be useful."

There’s a brief flicker of fear, and she does her best to hide it. Which isn’t very well at all.

“Is Tara about?” I ask. Kade's mother needed to know what her son was capable of.
