Groaning as I roll over, I reach for Dane. My eyes flash open as a surge of panic fires up through me when I realise he isn’t here. Sitting up quickly makes my head spin. Grabbing the clock from the bedside table, I knock something on the floor.
Retrieving it, I see that it’s a note from Dane.
I knew where he had gone before I had finished reading it. He wouldn’t have waited for the meeting with Silas. He probably didn’t even come to bed.
The clock tells me it’s almost five in the afternoon. I had slept most of the day away. And judging by the way my muscles ached, I had stayed in the same position.
I scowl at the bed. I don’t even remember coming to bed. I remember getting in the bath, but even that is a little hazy.
‘He probably moved us.’ Nyx yawns. ‘You know he likes to do that.’
Scanning the note again, it tells me to order room service and that he would be back soon. My eyes flash to the pizza box still on the table. I couldn't even remember if I had eaten. Exhaustion does funny things to the brain.
Shuffling out of bed. I make my way into the bathroom to freshen up and dress. I’ve barely finished pulling on the sweatshirt when I hear the door to our room open. It’s accompanied with Danes strong scent. A part of me feels relieved that I didn’t have to wait long for answers.
“Have you eaten?” He calls out
“I’ve only just woken up.” I mutter, walking out the bathroom.
He studies me as though he didn’t quite believe me. “Did you sleep well? Because you were certainly tired.” He smiles.
“It was a long day.”
“I knew you were exhausted the moment you forgot about Logan when you mentioned my eyes.” The corners of his lips curve up
“I did not!” I protest. “I would never. The boys are with Athena and Sebastian. I just…." Why was it so hard to remember? "I was talking about adults." I splutter as it starts coming back to me. "It’s not like Logan is going to wander into a hotel and book a room, is it?” I had been tired on a whole other level. I'm sure I wasn't this bad last time.
He grins at me. "I know." He seemed to enjoy teasing me, especially when I was pregnant because I would always fall for it. Pregnancy hormones are something else.
“How did it go with Silas?” I mutter
“He is in a more complicated situation than I first thought.”
I sink into the nearby chair, pulling my legs up under me as I wait for him to catch me up.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
These new chapters ate shorter than paragraphs. Makes reading this story quite annoying at the moment...
So... after 546 now what? I know this cannot just be the end of the story? So when is there a new chapter? I've literally read this in 4 days!...
Hi, I’m usually a silent reader, and first of all, I love the story, but is it possible to avoid the blue texts? Cuz a lot of us are missing a lot of the story due to the texts not loading. I am missing a lot no matter have many times I try to reload. If not, that’s okay as well. Thank you for the amazing entertainment and content...
Loving this story! Can’t wait for you to add more 😁...
Is it just me or are the blue text not loading and every other time I try the captcha it pops up a new tab? Other than that live the story...
