The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0092

Neah

Standing out in front of the house, Alpha Dane’s fingers were entwined with mine. It had been four days since the incident and he barely let me out of his sight, even training and tutoring were out of the question and there was no room for debate. I knew that he was silently questioning my every move while everyone else was feeling the brunt of his anger.

It had been years since they had lost a pack member to anything other than old age or at the hands of Alpha Dane. It put the whole pack on edge. There were meetings constantly. New measures were being put in place. And apart from Jenson, no one else will be granted entry to the pack, not for now at least.

“Are you okay?” Alpha Dane asks without even looking at me “Uh huh.” I stare out at the grounds. The snow had stopped and spring was on its way. He asked me if I was okay multiple times a day, like he expected me to spontaneously combust at any moment.

Alpha Dane looks out the corner of his eye at me. Alook I was getting used to, because it wasn't just him. Everyone that I came into contact with in the last few days, gave me that same look.

It wasn't quite blame, because that is a look I would recognise anywhere. One that I received regularly at Moonshine. Here, I couldn't quite figure it out, but it was definitely something and Nyx didn’t help, challenging anyone who she didn’t like the look of.

She would hurtle herself forward, taking control for just a second and I couldn't figure out how to stop her and she wouldn't tell me either, like it was some massive secret.

A fancy car starts making its way towards us. It wasn’t the one Alpha Dane had sent Jenson away in and as I look up to him, I see the heavy set frown. He didn't want his brother back, but what had happened four days ago gave him little chaice.
