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.

“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?”

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
