The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 397

Her fingers curl tightly around the pencil until it snaps, “but I’m not the one who is bad.”

“You think Kade is bad?”

Her head moves up and down making her braids swing. “Not right now, but he will be.”

Surely it wouldn't be possible to know if a child is going to be a problem when they are older. They haven’t even experienced life.

“Have you spoken to either of your Dad’s about it?”

“Daddy Damien was angry and Daddy didn’t listen. I had to stop Kade, Mallory. Everything he said made me sad. He’s mean and only to me” She smiles at Luca sleeping in my arms. “Can’t I just stay here and play with Logan and Evrin? They like me.”

“That’s not up to me. But school is really important. Have you made any friends?”

“One girl talks to me. Her name is Lyrah.”

“She’s a Wolf?”

“Uh huh, she’s the one who told me to stick up for myself. So I did.”

“I want you to do something for me.”

Her green eyes are unsure as she studies me.

“When you go back to school, if anything happens, I want you to tell the teacher. I don’t want you doing something that will get you into trouble.”

“That’s what Daddy Damien said.”

“Because he is right.” Although if she had asked me when I was younger, I probably would have told her to beat the crap out of Kade.

She pouts at me as a tiny crease appears between her brows. “I can’t wait to be a grown up.”

I laugh, “Come on, you can stay with me and Luca. One of your Dad’s can collect you later.”

“Are you going to tell them?”

“I think you should, but I can be there with you.”

****

It’s late when Damien and Dane arrive. I wasn’t expecting both of them, but maybe I could talk sense into both of them.
