The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0252

Neah

Since Damien and Dane had gone after Mallory, I had been pacing in front of the house, waiting for some news, any kind of news. Damien had been livid when I told him Mallory needed help.

Thankfully the twins were fast asleep when Dane appeared, dragging an unconscious Jenson across the ground. But other than that, they are alone which only ties my stomach up in more knots.

He is heading towards the dungeons.

Running to him, I ask what had happened.

“Mallory escaped, there wasn’t enough time for her to explain what happened. I had to get him away.” He gestures to Jenson. "The others stayed behind to see if she turned up."

“What did you do to him?”

“Nothing, he has been like this since we found Mallory dragging him into the forest. She crashed a car.”

I follow him into the dungeon, where he wastes no time in tossing Jenson into a cell. Jenson’s body rolls across the stone floor. Hitting the back wall with a thud. It reminded me of the time the same thing was done to Devon.

Dane turns to look at me, his crimson eyes lock on mine as he makes his way toward me. “You shouldn’t have let her go alone.”

“She already had. Yesterday. I didn’t know until this morning.”

“As soon as you found out, you should have told me, Neah. Maybe we could have planned for it. Handled it better than Mallory taking everything into her own hands.”
