The Alpha’s Contract

Neah

My stomach ties itself in knots at his comment. He keeps facing the opposite way to me, but I feel his intent. His patience was waning. The others had probably slept with him on their first night here. He said it himself, he had to hold Aero back.

He moves to the large bathtub and turns on the water, pouring some coloured liquids into the running water. “You need a bath.” He announces without looking at me. I sniff my armpits, he was right. I stank. He fills the tub until bubbles are practically overflowing. “Get in.”

m....l. can... I can just shower.” At least I could sort of hide myself from him

He crosses the room towards me and rips the blanket from my body. With his eyes locked on mine, he lifts me off my feet and carries me to the bathtub, slowly lowering me into the hot water.

Not once do his eyes leave mine. They don’t roam my face or the rest of me, like his brothers had. Almost like he was trying to prove a point. “You bathe, I need to change the bedding.” He walks back to the bed and starts ripping off the sheets. Something my brother would class as my job.

I don’t move or speak, and just let my eyes follow him as he moves around the bed and to the closet to grab more sheets. He pays no attention to me. He doesn’t ask me any questions, his eyes don't even flicker back in my direction.

When he’s finished, he moves back to the closet and rummages through the clothes he had ordered for me

“I assume you feel the cold.”

“Sometimes.” I mutter.

He pulls out a pair of jeans and another sweatshirt and places them on the bed. "! will be in the office when you are ready.”

He didn't wait for my reply, slamming the bedroom door behind him as he stormed out. His sudden anger made me nervous and I was not looking forward to meeting him in the office.

Rather than taking my time. I quickly wash, dress and hurry down the stairs. Only to find Jenson blocking the hallway “Someone's feeling better.” He grins

I nod my head, trying not to be disrespectfulContent property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“How's the wound?

“Better. I have to meet Alpha Dane.” I murmur, trying to squeeze past his large frame.

“Dane won't mind us talking. I mean if you are to marry my brother, we should get to know each other. You will be family after all"

.” What was I supposed to say, Dane didn't want me to be alone with him. But it wasn’t like I could escape.

“Hey, you don't need to panic.” He drapes his arm over my shoulder and hugs me as my whole body tenses up.

‘Seriously Jenson!” I hear Raven» shriek down the hallway. “What isit with you and our brother's brides?!” She strides towards us, pulliog me

out “of his grip.

“I'm just being friendly.” He mutters in annoyance

“A little too friendly. You are always like this!” She glares at him and growls as she guides me away. “Where are you going?” She asks as we round the corner away from her twin.

“Alpha Dane wants to see me in the office.

“Funny, he asked to see me too.” She gives me a small smile as we stop in front of the office door.

Beta Eric is with Alpha Dane. They drop theieconversation as Raven’ opens the door. Alpha Dane's eyés go toray wet, tied up hair, out he doesn't say anything. His look almost made me want to let it down.

“How are you feeling?” Beta Eric asks softly. He always spoke to me with a kind voice and was never in my face like Jenson. I nod my head. “Raven, check her wound.” Alpha Dane orders

I turn to Raven before she has a chance to say something and lift my top just high enough for her to inspect it

Her fingers carefully press around the scar that was forming. She ~ smilesat me. “It looks really gaod. I would: say the blood tie is definitely broken.” I to 7

“Good.” Alpha Dane still sounds annoyed. What had I done? Did I say something when I was out of it?
