The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 617

I didn't answer her because that thought had already crossed my mind.

It's not long before singing fills our ears-bad singing, like a cat being swung around in a sack. Neah drops my hand to cover her ears, wincing at the sound as we head toward the noise.

"Will you be quiet!" Eric yells at Tallen, but it just makes Tallen burst into a chorus of another song.

"Tallen!" Eric roars at her. The forest is quiet for a moment before Tallen starts singing the nursery rhyme "The Wheels on the Bus.' What was wrong with her? She hated nursery rhymes.

"Tallen, what the fuck!" Eric yells. "Stop it. Stop, you are hurting yourself!"

I drop Neah's hand and run to Eric. A chain is looped around Tallen's waist, tying her to the trunk of a tree, but her hands are free, and she is digging her nails into her face, splitting the flesh apart and laughing like a maniac at the blood.

"Tallen, stop!" I ordered, but she continued as though the order didn't affect her.

"I failed. I failed. I failed." She grins at me as she shreds her cheeks. "I failed. I failed. I failed. Now I die. Now I die. Now I die."
