The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 475

Cooper grins and the grin irritates me so much. I step around Damien, squaring up to the half Witch. Our size difference was obvious as he stared down at me. If his hands were not being held back by Klaus, then I would probably be too close.

“What are you smiling at Cooper?” I push the tip of a claw into his stomach just below his belly button. The smile disappears and I see the flash of pain in his eyes.

“I injected him with the same thing he injected everyone else with.” Klaus tells me. “He can’t project. He can’t heal. He can’t do anything.”

“Is that right?” I push the single claw a little deeper. Cooper presses his lips together and tries to breathe deeply. The pain must be excruciating, but he hid it well.

“Tell me Cooper. Why do you think you have the right to do this to so many people?”

His lips move a tiny little bit, just enough for me to hear the word ‘punishment’.

“Then what should your punishment be?” I retract the claw and he hunches forward, muttering under his breath.

I hear Eris whispering to Samara, “She can control her shift?”

“Yes.”

“Holy shit!”

Damien snaps his head up to her, but doesn’t say anything.

“I’ve already been punished.” Cooper mutters to me

“For what?”

“Doing the Moon Goddesses job.” He growls at me

I see Samara shake her head and roll her eyes.

He presses his hands against his wounds and drops back to his knees. Continuing to call me different slurs. Klaus grabs Cooper’s head. His hands firmly gripped either side and he twists until we hear his neck snap.

Klaus lets go and for a moment, Cooper’s body is perfectly still. Stepping back, a breeze catches him and makes his body fall the small distance to the ground.

Samara gasps as Klaus stares at me. “It was always supposed to be me, Neah and I couldn’t listen to him talk to you like that anymore.”

I nod at him, mostly because I’m speechless. I never thought Klaus would actually go through with it, but he showed his true loyalty.

“Okay, I thought Alpha Silas was a mad man, but I think you lot may have just beaten him in that department.” Eris splutters.

Samara comes forward and leans over her brother. “You finally got what you deserved, Coop. I told you years ago, you would mess with the wrong person.” Her grey eyes move to mine. “Thank you.”

“So now what?” Eris asks. “We just stand here over…….” She sniffs the air. “I can smell you. She turns to face Damien, pointing a finger at him. “And I can smell you.”
