The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0436



"Is he dead?" Neah whispers

I point to Ryken to check Cooper while I check on Klaus

"Dead." Ryken mutters seconds after pressing his fingers to Cooper's throat.

"Double check." I mutter, pulling Klaus's shirt open to find his chest already healing. A sigh of relief escapes me. "He's alive."

"Are you sure?" Neah asks

"One hundred percent." I watch his wounds knit together abnormally fast. Sometimes I forgot just how quick he could heal. It was almost as quick as

me.

"And this prick is definitely dead." Ryken tells me. "What the fuck was he playing at?"

Hollow gasps rattle from Klaus's chest and he finally takes a deep breath. "He's not playing or plotting, at least he wasn't." Klaus croaks. "He was only ever here to keep an eye on his sister. He had no plans for any of us. Except me."

"But what about Maddie?" Neah presses

"She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. He took advantage of the situation." His breath is still a little wheezy. My guess would be that Cooper managed to hit a lung. "Samara wanted Blair to come here."
