The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0351



"There's a good chance a Lycan knows about us."

“And you didn't kill him?" She sounds surprised.

“Madison wouldn't let me. She thinks she can talk him into not telling anyone."

"Then beat him to it. I already know, Neah knows, there is probably a good chance Dane knows because Neah pretty much tells him everything or if she hasn't, he can read her mind, the same as Eric can read mine. Neither one has said anything because they are both mated to someone unexpected. And from what I know of Maddie, she hasn't got a problem with what you do. You did kill the man that marked her and was holding her hostage."

I nod, mulling over her words.

"Did you know then?" She asks. "Did you know she was your mate when I brought her to the house."

"Yes."

"And you've held off for all this time?"

"Yes."

"Because she is a Lycan?"

"Yes and because I would be replacing my dead mate."

"So you think that's it? That you are never allowed to have someone love you again?"

"It's more than that."
