The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0269

“It’s a little more complicated than that. But she is working on it.”

He leans against the counter and my mind disappears into the gutter. It wasn’t intentional and I blame Eric for depriving me.

There’s a low growl from behind me. That warning once again. Eric’s hand on my stomach presses a little harder. A move to remind me that I was his. Abraxas ignores it, instead, pushing himself up and sitting on the countertop.

“It always is when it comes to packs. Much easier when you don’t have to care for anyone else.”

“This is a waste of time.” Eric mutters. “He’s not going to help us and we can’t give him what he wants. Let’s go!” He turns me towards the door.

“You sure about that, Blondie.”

When I look back, I see Abraxas grinning at him. “A lot of people will do things if it means they gain something from it, including me. I can help you find your damn Lycans. I can tell you the ones who are no longer Rogue and the ones who are, I get to kill those. You get what you want and in return, I get what I want”.

“What if we don’t have to go hunting?” I murmur. If he truly is capable of telling the difference, we won't need to bother with blood of wolfsbane.

“Where’s the fucking fun in that?” He looked so disappointed by the idea.

“Come to the pack with us. And I will explain everything on the way.”

“I aint no pack lackie!”

“I thought you wanted to kill Rogues?!” Sometimes, having a mad man close by was better than having him far away and knowing about us.

Surprisingly, it takes less convincing than what I thought it would. That could be a bad sign, or maybe knowing that he could get a chance to kill loads of Rogues is what tipped the scales.
