The Alpha’s Contract by Taylor West

P2- Chapter 0010

In the kitchen, Dottie tells Dane what she told me as she waits patiently for her bowl of ice cream.

"Do you know where he is now?" Dane asks when he thinks she has finished.

"He's mad," Dottie whispers to me. She shoves a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth as she quietly watches Dane.
