The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0280

Her voice travels through the house. She’s giggling about something. It was like music to my ears. A sound that I hadn’t heard in so long, it made my chest pound with pure happiness. If only her mother could see her now.

I would come home from a hunt to find my baby wide awake and playing games with her mother. She was always so excited to see me and my mate would tell me the same thing every single time. Dorothy couldn’t sleep without a goodnight kiss from me. That last night, I never even got to tuck her into bed.

My heart had more than shattered. It was made one hundred times worse by the fact there was no trace of Dorothy anywhere. Just a fucking note from Blair with the words, “I win!” She had covered their tracks perfectly.

Following the giggles to the kitchen, I see Dorothy laid on the floor as the Lycan pups crawl all over her. Her giggles echo throughout the house.

I look at the twins, one identical to Dane while the other had Neah’s features. Neither of them had a bad soul, yet. At this age, they have tiny balls of light to reflect their souls, not a millimetre of darkness to be seen anywhere.

“She loves playing with them.” Dane tells me.

“They are Lycans.”

“You have been raised to believe they are all bad. But take it from your kid, they are not all like that.”

“The boys are just pups, they haven’t developed yet.”

“I’m not talking about them. I’m talking about Damien and Mallory. She loves them both.” He points to my baby girl.
