The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 163

“What did he want? Did he say Neah would speak to me? Was that what it was about?” She asks hopefully

“No, and you need to drop it when it comes to the Alpha. I don’t know how many more times I can tell you this, but you need to back off.”

She turns in front of me, stopping me from moving any further and stares at me. “I can’t keep doing this Damien. It seems pointless me being here. Maybe I’m not cut out for this. Maybe it’s time we parted ways.”

“You are not going anywhere. I need you here, where I can keep an eye on you.”

She smiles at me. “I am not your mate, Damien. You have found her.”

“But you are my family.”

“Thirty days.” She mutters. “I will give it another thirty days and if she still won’t talk to me, it’s time for me to move on.”

“Thirty days.” I agree. A lot could happen in a month.

Raven sits across the dining table, staring at me. Now and again she would pull that bottom lip in, trapping it between her teeth as her eyes strayed from mine. Her fingers lightly drum on the table as Dane speaks about the plans for my brother and the other prick in his dungeon.

Klaus and Eric nod their heads in agreement at Danes words

“The prisoners are both set to be beheaded tomorrow at midday.” There would be no chance for them to make a plea. In fact, Dane wanted them both dealt with as soon as possible. Personally, I don’t know why he had waited so long. It wasn’t like they were going to be released if they shared useful information.

“Is everyone in agreement?” Dane asks all of us, but his eyes focus on me.

“This is your pack, Dane. It is your decision. I am not here to question your judgement.” I mutter. I wasn’t going to try and defend my brother. He lost the right to that the moment he bit into Raven’s leg.
