The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

Chapter 0498



"She's winding me up about my short hair." I lie, completely and utterly embarrassed.

"Well Dakota." Damien mutters as he stares at me. "I think it suits her."

He offers me a smile. "Are you ready?"

I nod when I don't seem to be able to form any words.

Dorothy holds my hand as we walk to the school. But I could see the looks. I could feel the judgement. A couple of days ago I had been locked in a dungeon because I wasn't trustworthy and now I was walking with the Beta to the pack school.

We come to a stop and I see Blair with a young boy. Her brother I assume. I watch him hug her before he hurries inside. As she turns to leave, she spots me. I could see the immediate anger in her eyes. She hated me for keeping her in the dark, for lying to her and letting her trust me.

I open my mouth to apologise, but she walks straight by without a single look back.

"She will get over it." Dorothy tells me as she lets go of my hand. Throwing her arms around me, she squeezes me tight and tells me to make sure Neah sees the sticker. And puts another one on the tshirt that I'm wearing

"Do I get a hug?" Damien mutters as Dorothy starts to walk away.

"You should hug Sammie." She smiles and runs in through the school doors.
