The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 146

Neah

Raven practically breaks down the bedroom door as she comes flying in. I had never seen her look so flustered. Her eyes are wide and she is breathing as though she just ran a marathon.

She’s flapping her hands, trying to calm herself down.

“I assume you are not okay?” I mutter

“He’s here.”

She had to be talking about Damien. “You saw him?”

“Yes, wait, you know?” She stops to stare at me.

“One of the guards interrupted us to tell Dane. What’s he like?”

“I didn’t talk to him.”

“Okay.”

“He looked directly at me.”

“Do you think he knows?”

“Of course he knows Neah! I panicked. I literally dropped everything and I came here.”

She shakes her head. “With Salem, we both gravitated towards each other. When I first scented him, I followed my nose and Salem was doing the exact same. With this guy, he just stood there, staring at me while talking to Dane. Acting like he couldn’t even smell me! Or maybe he was disgusted by me. Whatever the reason, he didn't look happy!”

"Maybe he was surprised. You have known this guy is your mate without having seen him. The first time he realised he was mated was when he arrived here."

"You are not helping."

I couldn’t control the laugh.

Raven points a finger at me. “Don’t! This is not funny Neah. Do you think it’s because I am a Wolf?”

“I don’t know.”

“It is, isn’t it? He’s probably grossed out.”

“Where is he now?”

“I don’t know. I told you, I came straight here. I figured you would be the only one to understand this.”

“What does he look like?” I ask calmly, hoping it would rub off on her.
