The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

P2- Chapter 0008

"I think I understand. You want to do it to support Neah, but you don't want to be in a place of position in the pack." It was something I had questioned myself over when Dane asked me to become his Beta, so I understood. "It's partly that. I just... I don't understand why now? Do you think she was planning on it when she asked me all those questions yesterday?"

"Maybe." Neah hadn't confirmed or denied it when I asked. "What do you think about taking down White Cliffs?"

"Do you think she actually wants that?"

"Something I have learned about Neah is that she rarely says things without meaning it. You share a grandfather who tried to have her kidnapped. How do you feel about that?"

"He shouldn't have done it. It's not how families should be."

"A Witch is working with your grandfather. They sent Silas to collect her. Neah hasn't said it to me, but it's clear she wants the Witch and her grandfather dead, and maybe she just wants your help with that."

She sits up and frowns at me. "Like some sort of temporary Beta? Do you think she will agree to that?"

"I'm sure you can negotiate terms."

Her head slowly moves up and down. "But what if... what if I become a Rogue?"

"That's what you are afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of many things. Cooper always said I was a beast. Bloodthirsty and a pack's worst nightmare." "Cooper liked to prey on people, doesn't mean it's true. Besides, I will make sure that doesn't happen."

""You can't..."

I pull her on my lap. "I came back from it. A few of us stopped Neah from going down that path. I will do everything possible to keep you from crossing to that place."
