The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 198

Unknown POV

“Yes?” I mutter, swirling the wine in my glass before taking a large mouthful. It had been a long day and I didn't need another idiot in my life.

He saunters up to me like a lost sheep. His dark hair is a mess and he looked and smelled as though he hadn’t seen a shower for weeks.

“You better start talking if you are going to invade my space with that stench.”

“I’m looking for a favour.” He asks quietly

“I don’t do favours.” I sneer, setting my empty glass down on the circular table.

He slides into my booth anyway. “You are the Lone Wolf, right?”

I smirk. I hadn’t heard that term in a long time. “Oh honey, I’m the furthest thing from a Lone Wolf.”

“Right. Because you are not a Wolf are you.”

The balls on this guy. “You think you know everything.” I wave to the bartender who brings me over a fresh drink. His eyes shifted to the trash sitting opposite me and he quickly looks away.

It was a rule in here that I am not to be disturbed. Especially not when I still had blood on my fingers.

“I know enough. One of your kind killed my mate.” He seethes. I couldn’t hold back the laugh. “And I want revenge.”

“Did you piss it off?”

He scowls at me. If he didn’t look so filthy, he could probably be quite handsome. Maybe then i wouldn't have minded the interruption.

“No, my brother brought their kind into our pack. A Rogue followed. The Rogue was the one who murdered her.”

“So let me guess, you blame big brother and now you want revenge.” I let the merlot hit the back of my throat. I preferred something much fuller bodied, but this was the best the bar offered.

“I didn’t say big brother.”

“You didn’t need to. If your brother brought them into the pack. My guess is he is the Alpha, which makes you, poor little brother.”

I hit a soft spot. I could see it in his dark eyes
