The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 538

“Somewhere neutral.” Dane mutters. “The city.”

“You think he won’t do anything because there are Humans?” I shake my head

“He will cause more problems for himself.” Dane smirks at me.

‘It’s a good option. Thalia will be able to get out unseen and even if she is seen, it will be too late for Serkan to do anything. He will be after his number one priority.’ Lyall tells me

"Your choice." Neah mutters

“Okay.” I agree. “When?”

“A few more questions first.” Neah states, “If that’s okay.”

I nod in agreement. I will answer everything and anything she throws at me if it means I can save my family.

“So you rescued Cooper's prisoners and many of them joined White Cliffs.” She confirms

“For rehabilitation.”

“Is that the first time?” She presses.

“No.”

“But Serkan was meeting with him?”

“Cooper was punishing them and then Serkan would invite them into his home with open arms. Making him look like a saviour. It's a good plan. But not good enough.” Dane mutters as he moves behind Neah, placing his hands on her shoulders. She seems to melt under his touch as she leans her head against his hand.

“Did you know about this?” Damien mutters to Cooper’s half sibling.

She shakes her head at him. “I swear. I knew he had been taking abilities from people for a long time, but I never knew what happened to them. Coop used to move me around a lot. I was at the farm for a while but before that, we never stayed in the same place for long. And after the age of sixteen, I was never allowed to stay in the same location as him. I think it was because he didn't want me to know. He knew if I figured it all out when I was younger, I would have become a much bigger problem."

“I can confirm that all the people rescued were not rescued from the same place.” I mutter

She gives me a small smile. She looked so much like her mother. Serkan would have known who she was the moment he saw her.

“It’s nothing to smile about.” I murmur. “Serkan always knew where I needed to go. Always told me there had been reports of sightings, or stories of Wolves and Lycans that were confused. And like the idiot I am, I believed it. I don’t know what is worse. Feeling like this, or having to convince my mate that the man we believed in has been using us like puppets. He offered us a superior life, but it’s come at a price.”
