Contract With Alpha Logan

Chapter 166

Biancha POV

My heart drummed in my chest as I looked at Toren. “I–I can’t stay with you,” I said, glancing at Aiden. “I mean-” I licked my lips. “I don’t have enough money to afford this hotel. So, I’m gonna stay with my friend Nina.”

Toren’s face darkened. “You think I’m going to let you live with a girl who is reckless about her own security? And I know she stays in a neighborhood teeming with drug addicts, prisoners on bail and rapists! There is no way you’re going to stay there. You will live here with me!”

His words fell like a command in my ears. Toren’s alpha aura spilled again, making me submit. “Toren,” I protested weakly. “This is an expensive place. I can’t-”

“You won’t go anywhere!” he growled, pinning me to the door like he would never release me.

“But it’s a lot of money!” I tried to argue.

He narrowed his eyes. Tilting his head, he opened his mouth to say something, but snapped it shut. Aiden poked his tongue in his cheek, as if stopping himself from saying anything stupid. Toren took a deep breath in and in a low voice said, “Okay, how about this? You stay here for as long as it is necessary and consider this as a loan. If you like, you can repay any time.”

I blinked my eyes at him. “Repay?”

He nodded. “Yes. I’ll take the money from you.”

That felt better. Requesting that I reimburse the hotel expenses didn’t affect my self–worth. “But that is going to take a lot of time. This place is expensive as hell!”

“No, it isn’t!” he blurted immediately. “We have a membership and it practically costs us $10 a day.”

“That’s it?” I asked, amusement pulling my lips up. $10 a day was something I could easily afford. “Then I can stay!” I chirped. “But I won’t stay in this room. Is it possible that I get a separate room?”

Toren scowled at me as Aiden let out a quiet laugh. “No, we can have only one suite for that much money in this hotel.”

“Oh!” My mouth remained in an O shape for a while and then I chewed my lips. Pushing him away from me, I studied the room where we were. It was an opulent living space. The spacious large living area that had plush seatings opened into a formal dining area with a large table. There were three doors on the left, and a main one right in front of me.
