The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 476

Damien

Her floral scent is strong. Much stronger than Raven’s vanilla scent ever was. When I told Neah that Eris had a slight scent, I never explained that I knew it was the scent of my mate. Was I ready for another mate when I still couldn’t bring myself to easily talk about Raven?

“Are you going to say something?” She asks, staring at me with her golden eyes as she hastily ties her long obsidian hair into a low bun.

I turn to Neah, “We should take the body back to the pack.”

“You are just going to ignore me?” Eris scowls at me.

“I’m not ignoring you.” I frown.

“Is there someone else?” She presses

“Yes and she is dead!” I snap and she drops her gaze.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I… me and my big mouth.”

“I need time to process this. There’s a lot happening right now."

“His heart is beating.” Neah mumbles before Eris is able to respond.

“What?” Neah’s hand is on his chest, but she takes a step back as his lungs expand.

“I broke his neck.” Klaus murmurs. “He has no abilities. He can’t survive that.”

“What do we do?” Samara asks

I move over to him, pulling my belt from my jeans. While Cooper is still out of it, I bind his hands, making sure he can't move them.

“Cover his eyes.” Neah mutters, pulling off her sweatshirt.

I rip the sleeve off and tie it around his face. Pulling up his shirt, I frown, “His wounds have healed too.”

“What?” Neah leans over me to have a look. “How?”

“Is it possible that his own potions don’t work on him?” Eris asks. “Or maybe not completely work?”

Neah turns around and heads in the direction of the pack. Samara and Eris hurry past me and while Samara seems in a hurry to catch Neah, Eris’s golden eyes are full of wonder as they hover on me.

Klaus grabs Cooper’s left side as I hastily grab his right. We haul him to his feet. “You are making a mistake. Klaus, I can offer you so much more.”

Klaus breaks his silence. “No you can’t. If they don’t kill you, I will and I will be a damn site more thorough. You are right Cooper. Those initials on your chest are for me. My name is Klaus Daudet and I am a Witch Hunter.”

Cooper tenses up and tries to push all his weight in his feet to stop us dragging him forward. “It’s a trick.” He scoffs.

“No trick. You just didn’t do your research.”

“You are lying. You know I don’t like it when you lie.” Cooper growls. "I can smell your scent."

“I’ve already killed you once. Why would I do that if we were mates?” Klaus challenges. I was really starting to see a different side of Klaus. He has always been the voice of reason, but piss him off and it brings out a different side.

“I know you can smell me.” Cooper

“You are right, I can. At first I believed what you were saying was true until I spoke to another Hunter. What I was smelling is what tells me that I’m supposed to kill you. It was okay at first and then the more time we were together, it grew vile.”
