The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0409



Dane

Damien, Eric and I stand at the border of my pack. We had spent the day searching for clues in the hospital, his home, the forest and anywhere else we can think of. Ultimately, there is nothing. No blood, no hair, no footprints, not even a whiff of Klaus's scent.

'There has to be something.' Aero mutters

'We've covered the entire pack, there is nothing. Wherever he has taken Klaus, it's further afield.'

"Where would Cooper take him?" Eric asks. "I doubt if he knows the area."

"Then most likely, it is somewhere nearby." Damien replies. "But it depends if Klaus is out cold or not. Cooper could be carrying dead weight or he could be making him walk. And it depends on what Cooper really wants. Is he sticking around because he has a target in mind? Or has he left, never to return, taking Klaus with him?"

"We expand our search." I declare

“We need more people to do that and we need reliable ones too." Eric puffs

"No we don't." Damien smirks. "We just need answers from one person."

He turns and heads back through the forest. Eric cocks an eyebrow at me and shrugs his shoulders.

"Damien, wait." I call after him

"It's time to get some real answers, Dane. There's only one person who we know that is definitely lying to us."

"Samara."
