The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0148

Damien She was a pretty little thing. I thought that the moment I first laid my eyes on her. My mate. A Wolf. Though she didn't deserve someone like me. I watch her move around the Alpha. She is quick and thinks on her feet.

Her dark hair is loosely pulled back into a hair bobble with a few escaped hairs at the top of her neck. As her dark eyes catch mine, I notice a fleck of light brown just under her left pupil. She quickly looks away, returning all her attention to the Alpha, smiling as the heartbeats fill the room.

Her happiness makes her scent of strawberries explode and for a brief second, I wondered if she would taste of them too.

I barely notice Dane pushing past me. I just watch her lips move as she scolds them both

When the all clear is given, I finally ask the question that had been playing on my mind since I first scented Neah’s pregnancy.

Raven shoots daggers at me, like I had asked the worst question in the world. She gives me a short and sharp “No!”

Dane’s strange red eyes find mine and I remember what he told me earlier. Raven isn't a fan of us. Maybe she hated the idea of being mated to me

I step outside the room, leaving the three of them alone. Though I don't leave completely, standing guard over her room instead. I will protect the Alpha even if she doesn't want me too

Dane steps out, closing the door to the room. “The question you asked, it’s been asked multiple times by the asshole in my dungeon. That's why she is so short with you.”

“Sorry.” I wasn’t the type of person to apologise, but he had to know it was a genuine curiosity, nothing more. In theory, if I don't reject Raven. they become my nephews too. They become my family.

“The guy in the dungeon, he’s the one who wants the pups?” I ask

He nods his head at me. “He was also the one who had Jess removed from the house. It was his brother that you left for the Rogues.” “Right.”

“Thanks for convincing her to be checked out.” Dane mutters. “Just give my sister time, she was rejected by her first mate.”
