The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 523

He hands it to Neah, “You look as though you could do with this.”

Silas doesn’t know Neah is carrying twins and he doesn’t know about Logan and Evrin either.

“You think my pup is special?” Neah asks. She was following his lead thankfully and not correcting him.

“We won’t be certain until he is here.” Silas tells her “But likely, yes.”

“How do you even know that it’s a boy and that he will be special?” She pushes

“Because he is coming from the last female Alpha. It has to be a boy, the first one, anyway. Future pups could be girls.”

Neah slips into a chair at the table. A dozen questions running through her mind.

“I can answer most questions.” Silas tells her. “I have been training for this for a long time.”

“Training?” I scowl at him

“I am not a Kitson, yet I was raised by one. Family history is important to them. When the time came that I would have to come looking for you, it was crucial that I would be able to answer all of Neah’s questions.”

“You were trained with Kitson family knowledge?” I muse “To try and convince us that Neah needs to go to White Cliffs.”

“We all have our place, Dane.” He smirks back at me. “Have you found yours?”

‘Who the fuck does he think he is?!’ Aero snarls

“Why didn’t they come looking for me?” Neah presses. “When I was a baby? When I was bound? Or what about when my parents died? Why was I left in the hands of an uncle that despised the ground I walked on? I may not have known about White Cliffs or my family, but it seems like they knew of me and they just abandoned me.”

Her eyes are incredibly dark, but it doesn’t phase Silas one little bit. If he worked for Neah’s grandfather, he had likely become accustomed to the Lycan hovering near the surface.

“The Alpha wasn’t ready for you.”

Neah snorts. “He wasn’t ready for me?”

“He was concerned that you would have been turned against your heritage.”

Neah sighs, “I used to wonder about my family. Whenever I was locked in the basement on the brink of starvation, or when I was repeatedly beaten, I used to wonder if I had grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. I wondered what they would think if they saw what was happening to me. It took me a long time to realise that if there were others that knew of my existence, they didn’t care. No one was coming to help me.”

“I was never told.” I see the sadness in his eyes as he watches her. “If I wasn’t told, it’s highly unlikely that Serkan knew.”

“Serkan?” I ask

“Alpha Serkan Kitson. Neah’s grandfather.” He mutters without looking away from my mate.

“How long have you been looking for Neah?” I press

“I started my travels a few of weeks ago. Had to deal with Cooper's prisoners first. It would have been unfair to leave them locked up when he was causing issues elsewhere.”

“You really let them out, it wasn’t just a gimmick to try and lure my mate into believing you are being kind?”

“No gimmick.” He keeps watching Neah and it’s really pissing me off. The only person that should look at her like that, is me.
