The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 416

“You went out?” I hadn’t heard anything all night, in fact, I don’t even remember falling asleep.

“Funny what a little sleep spell can do. Now get up, go shower. I hung some clean clothes on the back of the door for you.”

“What?”

He grabs my arms and pulls me to my feet. “Go shower.”

“Why?”

“Can’t have you looking like that over breakfast.”

“No, I mean why are you doing this?” I stare at him

“I’m trying to show you that I’m not the asshole you think I am.”

I snort.

“They really have you believing that I’m some kind of monster, don’t they?” He shakes his head. “I would never do that to you.”

He reaches out for my face but I retreat. “Is that what you say to all of them? You butter them up, worm your way in and make them believe something that is entirely false? I don’t fall for it like the others. You keep acting like you are doing all this for me. You’re not, you are doing it for yourself, plain and simple.”

“What will it take for you to realise that this is real?”

“Real? I don’t think you know the meaning of the word.”

His eyes narrow, I had hit a nerve. He grabs my shoulders and spins me around, pushing me towards the kitchen. A small smile creeps across my lips. Maybe he was finally seeing that I was not someone he could win over.

Cooper directs me to a chair. “Sit!” He snarls

As I sit he pulls my arms around to my back. He reaches for something and I feel the cool metal of a chain as he wraps it around my wrist.

“Let's try this a different way.” He grabs my head and forces it over. His callous fingers brush my long hair off of my neck.

“Get off of me.”

“You won’t be able to resist me if I mark you.”
