The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0027

Dane Cassandra coughs as my fingers tighten against her throat. Her own fingers desperately clawed at my hands, hoping that I would free her. “Are you growing it?” I demand, releasing my grip, just enough to allow her to speak.

“No.” She croaks.

“Then how did you get your hands on some? Is it Trey or the other fucking idiot that's growing it?”

“I found it!’ she mutters hoarsely

“Bullshit!” “It's not.....It's not bullshit!’ She splutters, "It's. ..it's true!"

“Who were you trying to kill? Me or her?” I demand

There is movement behind me and from the corner of my eye, I see Neah step forward

“Was it you?” Neah whispers

“Don't speak to me, RAT!”

“Let me clear things up for you. Her parents were killed with Blood of Wolfsbane. The murder was pinned on her. A six year old. Your husband claimed she should have known the difference between plants. But you already know all this. So again, did you kill her parents?”

“GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY MATE!" Trey comes charging in, sending me crashing into Neah.

Her blue eyes lock with mine as I land on top of her small frame. She lets out a gasp as my chest hits hers and in that moment. I knew that what Aero is saying is true. There was no doubt about it, she was my mate.
