The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 34

Neah

His face wrinkled up into a mixture of surprise and confusion. Maybe there was even a little hint of anger there. But I just wanted to know where I stood with him.

My life at Moonshine, although unbearable, was predictable. I knew what I was supposed to be doing and when I was supposed to be doing it. I knew people would come to my room to hit me. I knew that the only food I was allowed was leftovers, if there was any. Here, each and everything was a surprise. They spoke to me like I was actually one of them.

I had thought about it while I was alone. Pulling at every thread of conversation with Alpha Dane. He had said I was the only one he had ever wanted to mark and maybe now that the contract was over with my brother, he would be willing to make a new contract with me.

“Is that what you want? You want to provide me with an heir, nothing more?” Now I could hear his annoyance.

I lower my eyes. “It’s what you want isn’t it? Someone to give you an heir. Wasn’t that the idea of these contracts with female Wolves? So make a new contract with me, just me!” I had no idea where my confidence was coming from.

“You don’t need a contract. I have already said you can stay.”

I nod, but I knew what Wolves were like, especially the men from Moonshine. I heard them every night. I wanted to make sure that no one here would touch me.

“I see,” He murmurs, “You want a contract for your safety.”

“Y….yes.” I knew I was pushing my luck. He was an Alpha, I had no right to request something from him.

I feel him staring at me and kept my eyes low and my mouth shut. I had said what I wanted to say. It was his move now.

“No.”

“Oh.”

“It’s not fair for me to draw up a contract and expect you to sign it when you can’t even read.”

I feel my shoulders drop with disappointment. I was certain I was making the right move.

“I will make you a verbal agreement. One year. You stand by my side for one whole year, three hundred and sixty five days and then if we are happy, you carry my heir.”
