The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0241

Neah

The twins didn’t wake up once. Not one single time. It was a good thing, I should be happy, but a part of me had hoped that their first night in their own room wouldn’t be so perfect. And while they slept, Dane made up for the lack of time we had been alone since their arrival.

So much so, that I could still feel the aftermath this morning.

“It’s a good thing they slept.” Raven mutters as she bounces Evrin in her arms

“I know, I’m just being…..” I sigh.

“You are being a mum.” Her dark eyes flash up to mine and I knew the question was coming. “You’re really meeting with her?”

“Yes.”

“Are you worried?”

“Worried that I will shift and kill her.” I joke but she stares at me, alarmed. “I’m joking, I’m joking. I kept calm when Blair was here yesterday. I can do it again, I think.”

“Damien said that he….”

“I know, and I’m grateful, but this is something I have to do alone. I have been fighting with my head and my heart over this for so long.” I sigh, because I didn’t talk about it to anyone. As far as everyone was aware, I hated Mallory. But that wasn’t true. I just didn’t trust her and her motives.

“You never said.”

I pull Logan from the high chair. “I could have killed her several times, but I haven’t. She’s Damiens best friend. He sees something in her that I don’t or maybe it's just because he has known her for longer.” I shrug my shoulders. “I thought I would give her
