Contract With Alpha Logan

Chapter 129

inside the forest, I let out a low growl, the sound reverberating through the stillness of the night. It was a sound that was born out of raw and visceral longing. Even though I had given my skin to my wolf and should have receded to calm my mind, it was just the opposite. My mind raced with questions and doubts. Did she not come because of Tracy or
