The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0477

Cooper's lips almost become non-existent as he presses them together. I'm sure that if he wasn't blindfolded, I would be able to see the fury in his eyes.

We drag him forward and he starts calling for Eris. She glances over her shoulder at him, but then her eyes shift to me before she catches up to Neah.

"Eris, I saved you!" Cooper called out

The words stop her in her tracks. But this time, she doesn't look back.

"You took away her abilities." Klaus growls at him.

*Two birds, one stone. She was on the run and she needed to be punished. I punished her and they couldn't find her. I saved her. I save them all."

"Is that what you think you are doing, saving them?" Klaus demands. "Taking away their abilities is not saving them."

Cooper doesn't answer. And I glance up to Eris who has shoved her hands in her pockets and dropped her head forward as she followed the others. Was it an agreement? Klaus had said she had been Cooper's prisoner, but what if it hadn't started that way?

"No more." I mutter to Klaus. We quicken our pace, lifting Cooper so his feet can't touch the floor. He tries desperately to get us to talk, making threats, asking questions, but mostly pleading with Klaus to help him. The realisation that it wasn't working was soon becoming reality.

The women disappear around the corner that leads up to Black Shadow's gates. By the time we get there, the gates are wide open and I could already see a huge number of shifted Wolves and Lycans waiting with Neah and Dane standing at the front ready to hunt.

"What's happening?" Cooper demands as we come to a stop. Klaus and I lower him until his feet are firmly on the ground. He struggles against us and Neah nods at me.
