The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 116

“Take her to the house.” Dane orders.

All the men stare at me, waiting for me to move and take Jess back to the house. But for some reason, I had this burning need to ignore his instructions. I wanted to hear what his guests had to say about me. I wanted to see if they were disgusted by me. I didn’t want to be kept in the dark like a dirty secret.

“No.” The single word rolls off of my tongue and Dane just stares at me. Had he listened to my thoughts?

“Jess, go to the house.”

Her hand squeezes more, her nails practically digging into my skin, she was afraid to be alone.

“No!” I had no idea where the confidence was coming from. Surely it couldn’t be hormones already?

His crimson eyes darken and a faint whimper comes from Jess as she slowly creeps behind me.

“If we delay them meeting me, they will suspect something. You did.”

“This isn’t the same thing.”

“Isn’t it?”

“It’s too late anyway.” Klaus murmurs.

I glance up to see a group of Danes men leading six other men towards us. Jenson is at the front, talking to one of them.

They were all big like the men here. I wasn’t sure what I expected really, but they all had that powerful aura surrounding them. Not as strong as Danes, yet still evident. It makes Jess shrink even more. And I was starting to regret not making her go to the house. She wasn’t prepared for this.

“Well Dane, we are here!” The first one mutters. His dark grey eyes find me and if I didn’t feel the need to vomit, I would hold the glare.

“Roan.” I hear Dane greet him as I empty my stomach once again.

“There were a few of us wondering if you were speaking the truth. Especially with how long it has been since you have been trying to produce an heir. But now we can see it is obvious.”

I hated his tone already. There was no friendship between the two men and that would likely be the same with the others. Contracts, that was the only reason why they were here.

“Well,” I snap. “Then you will be pleased to hear that he is having twins.”

‘Definitely hormones.’ Nyx muses at my frankness and I see how Jenson smirks.

“You must be the mate.” Roan cocks an eyebrow at me and I notice how the others haven’t spoken. Why were they letting him do all the talking?

“Why the fuck would you need our help?” Roan pushes his chair back from the table. “Your pack is huge in comparison.”

Dane looks at me and nods his head.

“I’m….I’m not a Wolf.” I splutter

Everyone’s eyes are instantly on me.

The only blonde haired man with them speaks “You smell like a Wolf.”

I peered at the man that Dane had called Greg, “I know.” I whisper

“What are you?” Roan demands

“The last Lycan Alpha.”
