The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 496

“Sure, take the bed. I will sleep on the couch.”

“Thank you, Damien.” She runs up the stairs as I settle on the sofa

Dottie talks her ear off at breakfast. Between mouthfuls of cereal, Dottie tries to give Samara every detail she could think of when it comes to school. I couldn’t get a word in anywhere and instead, I found myself watching Samara.

Her grey eyes are bright as she listens to every word that comes from Dottie’s mouth. And I was still surprised that Dottie had slept through the night without a single nightmare and because I couldn’t quite believe it, I hadn’t slept a wink. Well that and the fact I couldn’t get Raven out of my head.

“Daddy?”

I blink a few times and smile at Dottie.

“When am I going to shift?” she asks curiously and the question catches me by surprise.

“When you are much older.”

“But Evrin can.” Dottie smiles at me, "and he can barely walk."

“Neah’s twins?” Samara asks

“Yes.

“One of them can shift?”

I nod

“Is that a thing?”

“Neah could when she was young.”

“Wow. Do you know if my mother could?” she asks with a frown

“I don’t know. I don’t think there is much information on your mother and I think it’s more to do with who Neah is.”

“The last female Alpha.” Dottie proudly announces and she looks at Samara. “Don’t be sad about your mummy. I don’t have one either and I’m okay.”

Samara looks away, running her hand through her short blonde hair, it was starting to grow out, though she still hated it. I liked it, it suited her.
