The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 379

Blair

I stare at the Lycan in shock. “No, you are wrong. You think you know something and you don’t. You don’t know her. You haven’t even given her a chance!” I defend Sammie.

“Can I tell her?” Damien asks Dane. His dark eyes lighting up.

“I think we should wait for Brax.” Dane replies with a shrug of his shoulders.

My spine stiffens on its own accord and my body is immediately filled with dread. It would be him, Abraxas Adler. He would take the shot, I still didn’t understand why he hadn’t when he came to my house.

There’s an uncomfortable knot in my stomach that I cannot force down. One that wants me to flee, to escape the uncertainty. Fucking Human traits.

“Just talk to her.” I plead. Sammie would hate being locked away, especially after five years of freedom.

“I’m not interested in what she has to say, not just yet.” Dane tells me

I drop my gaze, there was no way I could overthrow these guys. I may have stood a chance once, but not anymore. And it seems like talking to them is becoming a pointless task. But I had to try. I had to make them see that I was no longer a threat.

I clear my throat. “Why do you think that she talked me into coming back here?”

“Because that’s exactly what she did.” I hear his deep voice from behind and then feel something pressing into the back of my head. I close my eyes and count, waiting. Would I even hear the sound or would I already be dead?

“Brax, put the gun down.” Dane tells him.

It’s removed from my skull, but I continue to hold my breath. He didn’t have to obey Dane. Hunters didn’t work for anyone unless they chose too. So there was still a good chance he could blow my brains out at any second.

“Speak.” Dane tells me. He stares at me and all I could wonder was how Neah liked them, his crimson eyes gave me the creeps.

“About what? I told them everything when they came to the house.”

The Hunter shakes his head at me, “Nope.”

“You’re lying.”

He smirks and shakes his head again. “I am not. You should know me better than that, Blair.”

“No one is completely scentless.” I scoff

“That is where you are wrong.” He glances up behind me, like he is waiting for some sort of confirmation. “You passed two burnt out cars on your way here, correct.”

I nod, “The first looked like the one you and Neah left in.”

“The assholes driving the second car had no scent, nothing, just like your friend in the dungeon. The problem is, they were Wolves. It seems somehow that they have been given something to completely conceal their scents. Just like your blonde friend.”
