The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 9

Neah

His lips are rough and yet soft, but I pull away. He looks annoyed, frustrated, maybe even angry as he studies me. I couldn't be sure. His hands that had been clenched around my upper arms, drop as he takes a step back from me.

I had rejected an Alpha and he was an Alpha who most likely had never been rejected before. What had I done?

His crimson eyes hover on my face until I lower my gaze. I felt mortified that it had even happened, it was definitely not how I expected my first kiss to go.

“You can go!” He snaps, turning away and moving to his desk.

“Go? Go where?” I whisper. Fully expecting him to throw me out of his pack.

“Out of the office!”

I pause at the door, wondering if I should apologise. Glancing back, he was focussed on the paperwork. He flicks his hand at me, shooing me away.

Stepping out into the hallway, I feel my cheeks burn.

“Are you okay?” A deep curious voice asks

Looking up, I see one of the men that had come to my brother’s house with Alpha Dane. The more I looked at him, the more I saw how much he looked like Raven. The same dark hair and dark eyes.

“We haven’t really had a chance to speak. I’m Jenson.” He smiles

“Alpha Danes brother?” I whisper as he strides down the hallway towards me.

He smiles. “And I believe you have met my twin too.”

“Raven?” She had just said brother, she had never mentioned that Jenson was her twin, not that it was important.

He leans against the wall next to me. “That’s the one. Is everything alright? You seem a bit….. flustered.”

“Just tired.” I lie, I didn’t know who or if I could trust anyone around here. And I definitely didn’t want to spill my guts to Alpha Dane’s younger brother. “And just trying to remember the way back to my room.”
