The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 415

Klaus

‘Shit, Klaus. Where the fuck are you?’ It was good to hear Dane again.

‘With Cooper. I had to leave with him, it was the only way to make sure he didn’t do anything to anyone else.’

‘Are you okay? Are you hurt?’

‘He hasn’t hurt me. I mean he drugged me, but it’s worn off.’

‘Where are you?’

‘He has me at Blair’s house. Don’t come. It’s too risky.’

‘Why?’ He asks. 'I can bring enough people and we will be in and out.'

'He will expect that and I don't know what else he is capable of.'

There’s a loud snore from the chair in the corner and I silently watch Cooper, fully expecting him to wake up.

‘Klaus?’

‘The guy is half Witch, half Lycan. He is drugging people with something he made. Samara was his first guinea pig. Though he got the dose wrong and she hasn’t been right since.’

‘It’s worn off. There is a good chance he will know soon enough.’ Dane tells me

'He does.'

'We can use that in our favour.' He doesn't expand anymore and I figure it's better that I don't know.

‘What about Maddie and Blair?’

‘No change.’

‘I need you to do something for me.’ I speak faster, knowing that Cooper would be awake any moment.

‘Klaus, we need to get you out of there.’

‘No you don’t,’ I mutter, seeing Cooper stirring. ‘Not yet, let me get what I can out of him. But I need you to ask Blair what scent Cooper was giving off when he tricked her into thinking she is mated.’

There is a pause. ‘You think you are mated to him?’

‘He has a mark on his chest. Claims that Witches are left with the mark of their mates' initials.’

“I’m surprised your Alpha isn’t here, knocking down the door. I know you can link him. I know that you are a full Wolf again. So you either have and have told him not to come or you haven’t because you can’t resist the bond with me.”

“Do you always think so highly of yourself?” I cast a glance at him to find him staring at me.

“Yes. Yes I do.”

I roll my eyes and turn back to the sunrise as pink hues fill the sky.

“So is today going to be the day you give me your birth name?”

“You are so smart, maybe you should figure it out.”

“I am going to cook you breakfast this morning.” He announces, changing the subject.

“Not hungry.” I mumble, though my stomach said otherwises with its insistent noises

He places a hand against his chest, pretending to be hurt, “But it’s my special pancakes. They are loved by everyone.”

I highly doubt anything here will be edible. Blair and Samara have been in the pack for ages. Anything you do find is probably off.”

“Lucky for you, I went out when you were asleep.”
