The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 372

“Something weird is going on?” I frown. I was supposed to be resting, but I was finding it harder and harder to stay still. Like the longer I was still, the more I thought about what I no longer have. I needed to keep busy.

From this window, I could see Dane, Damien and Brax pushing a man and a woman forward. I recognise the guy, he quite often works on the gates. But what I didn’t understand is why Damien was carrying what looked like a doll. A toy for Dorothy maybe?

Neah steps up to the window, though she keeps herself partly hidden behind the curtain. “No one is supposed to see me, remember.”

“Please just tell me that I am imagining things. Maybe I have fallen ill again and this is a dream.”

She pinches my arm.

“Ow.”

“Not dreaming.” She cautiously peers around the curtain. “Why is Damien carrying a pup?”

“It’s not a doll?”

“Doll’s don’t move like that.”

I look again and watch a tiny arm stretch out. But that’s all I can make out as they move further and further away.

“Maybe those Wolves had a pup?”

“I think Mako and Kira are due any day now, so it could be.” She shrugs her shoulders, “but actually, that’s not Kira… that’s…one of Raven’s nurses from the hospital. I think her name is Sienna.”
