The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0226

I wasn’t even aware Ashburn had a problem. I had to choose my words carefully. “My brother found a way to help you?”

“Yes! And as I said, I appreciate them for killing off the Rogue, it means the young girls in the pack are safe and the parents are no longer panicking.” His voice quivers a little bit. Like he was trying to find a reason to keep his hands clean. To keep himself from falling under my orders. He didn’t want to follow in Roan’s footsteps and I respected that.
