The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 2

Chapter 0002

Neah, don't make a sound. Don’t make a sound.

I knew Alpha Dane was studying me. They all did; no one could ever quite believe how someone could do something so disgusting as poisoning their own parents. I stood there with my head hanging low, wishing for the ground to open up and swallow me.

There were movements around me. He was standing directly in front of me. With a rough finger, he tilted my face up towards his, forcing me to look at him. Slowly, his hand latched onto my throat, but he didn’t squeeze. “You poisoned your parents?”

“I was six,” I spluttered. “I just made them lemonade.” My voice came out all squeaky as I tried to defend myself. I could barely remember my parents, but I could remember all the guilt I had been made to feel since that day.

His crimson eyes flashed to my brothers. “Hardly seems fair to blame a six-year-old.”

“A six-year-old should know the difference between plants,” Alpha Trey snapped.

“Sounds to me like she was set up,” Alpha Dane shrugged his shoulders, letting go of my throat. "We all know that standard wolfsbane doesn’t affect us anymore. We evolved from that shit centuries ago.”

What? What did he mean? Wolfsbane wasn't lethal. It had been drummed into me since I could walk.

“Which only leaves Blood of Wolfsbane,” Alpha Dane muttered.

“You weren't there, Alpha Dane,” my brother muttered through gritted teeth as his eyes narrowed to slits. “It was wolfsbane.”

He nodded his head. “You are right. I was not present.”

Great, now there was someone else who could remind me of something I had done by accident years ago.

“But tell me this, where would a six-year-old get Blood of Wolfsbane?”
