The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0003

“Tenth bride’s the charm.” Jenson mocks as the driver pulls up in front of Moonshines packhouse.

“Shut up!” Eric snaps at him

“Both of you shut your fucking mouths. Before you say something you regret!

He will never learn.’ My wolf, Aero muses.

The driver pulls open the door. “Just give me a second, I need to speak to my men.” The door closes and neither one of them speaks.

“She isn't like the others. Don’t speak to her, don’t look at her. And you Jenson, keep your fucking hands to yourself or you might just lose them this time.”

I was more rattled than usual. Neah was different to the previous selected mates. I didn't know what it was or whether it was because I was used to confident women, but there was something about her. And Aero appeared to like her too, more than any of the others. I had to have her.

“I mean it!’ I snap at Jenson's smug face, "Being my brother won’t change my mind!” He runs his fingers over his lips as though he was zipping them shut.

They follow me from the car. Standing in front of the old packhouse, all three of us stare up at it. Because until a month ago, I knew nothing about them and even after my visit, all I had learned was the Alpha is a dick.

My knuckles hammer on the door. It's barely open an inch when I force myself through making his Beta stumble back. I spot her straight away. hiding herself behind a corner. "Are you ready?" I call out.

“If you just want to....." Beta Kyle starts.

“I was not talking to you. I was speaking to Neah.”

The expression on Beta Kyle's face was a picture. His jaw hung open and his eyes are wide. He clearly had never been told what to do, even by his Alpha.

Neah steps out from her hiding spot. clutching a barely full carrier bag. She drags her teeth across her bottom lip and nods her head. “Where are the rest of your things? I told you everything needs to be packed”

“That's all she has.” Trey snorts as he makes his appearance.

“That's it?” I stare at him. "That's all her belongings? She’s what, in her early twenties and that’s all she has?”

“What more does she need?!" His Beta sneers.

Kill him, let me rip out his throat and he will regret the day he crossed us.'
