The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0137

Neah “Are you sure I can’t do anything to help?” I ask Raven. “It’s really hard to just sit and do nothing.

“No. You need to stay right there. Eric has it handled.” She passes me a glass of orange juice and climbs on to the bed with me. “Have you heard anything from Dane?”

I shake my head. It was the longest I had gone without speaking to him. It felt strange. I knew he was fine now. I could feel it, but it didn’t stop me thinking about him.

‘I’m sure everything is good. You never know. He might be back for the party.” Raven mutters hopefully “Eric already said it was unlikely and we still haven't figured out what we are doing about Roan.”

“You don’t need to worry about that. Eric and Klaus will have it covered.”

I groan, sipping the orange juice when there is a knock at the door.

“Come in!" Raven calls out

Eric steps into the room. His eyes are low. “Dane is on the way home.

“He found Jess?" I mutter, shoving my juice at Raven

“Yes. She is fine. she is safe."

“Why does it feel like you are not telling us everything, Eric?” Raven is staring at him with her dark eyes. “I’ve known you my entire life. I know when there is something else you want to say. Jenson is fine, Dane is fine and you have just said Jess is safe. So what is it?”

His eyes settle on me. "You need to stay calm.”

Raven clambers off the bed and punches Eric in the arm. “Are you serious? You should know by now that telling a woman to remain calm, doesn't make them remain calm!”
