The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 525

“How did you end up in White Cliffs?” Dane asks

“Our father gave me away. I thought you already knew.” Silas tells him

“I was told you went to a family member.” Dane replies

He shrugs his shoulders, “Maybe I did, and even if it is true, I do not remember them. I grew up in White Cliffs. It is the only pack I have ever known. I spent my youth running around a castle and playing hide ‘n’ seek with the staff until training started. A brilliant way to grow up.”

“A castle?” I splutter

He turns his face in my direction. “Royalty deserves a castle, don’t you think?”

I roll my eyes. If anything, a castle made Serkan sound even more of a jumped up egotistical asshole.

“Link Damien and ask him to bring Brax to meet us somewhere.” I mutter to Dane

“Already have.” He winks at me. “They are probably not that far away now.”

“Is that our younger siblings?” Silas asks with a raised brow

“No.” He doesn’t tell him that Jenson and Raven are dead.

Silas gives us a lopsided grin. “I guess I should have expected you to have guards around. Though I’m not interested in dying tonight. So I will warn you that I will fight back and I am more than adequately trained.”

“If anyone is going to kill you, it will be me.” Dane tells him. “Though I might let my mate start by skinning you.”

Silas brow shoots up again as he turns in my direction. “Is that your style?”

“No. But it is satisfying.” I stare back at him and he laughs. Even his laugh was just like Danes. It sends a shiver down my spine and when I look up again, I see Silas watching me.

Car lights flicker down the dark road behind us. I recognised Damiens car as it comes to a stop. Brax is the first to get out. He takes two steps and comes to an abrupt stop.

“Well fuck me sideways! Damien wasn’t kidding.”

‘What if we send Samara? She wants to go. She is trying to find proof so I will give her permission. She wants to find out about her family and her mother. I’m sure Damien will accompany her.’

‘It’s a risk, and you could be throwing her into the lion’s den. We don’t even know if Serkan knows about her.’ He replies

‘He must do, his daughter was pregnant.’

‘Yet from what Silas is telling us, you and your presence is Serkans only priority.’

Brax taps on the window and opens my door. “As much as I hate to say it, the clone ain’t lying.”

Dane gets out and joins the others. I mostly tune out of their conversation to watch Dane and Silas. If they switched places, would Serkan even know?

I close my eyes, searching for a possible link to my grandfather. I find nothing. No link to a man called Serkan. But Silas had said the Lycans in White Cliffs had heard me. That they wanted to find me and yet, there was no connection to a man that was technically family. I don’t even know if there ever was.
