The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 376

Neah

Rummaging through the boxes of tiny baby clothes, I make a pile, hoping that I was going to get a link from Damien to tell me Mallory had accepted the little boy.

‘She will say yes, won’t she?’ Nyx asks hopefully

‘I hope so.’ It was what she needed. It was what Eric needed

‘The boys can have playdates.’ She mutters happily. 'In the future, he could be the Beta.'

I smile, ‘He’s a newborn, Nyx. He’s not quite ready for that but when the time comes, yes.’

‘What if the parents….’

‘We will cross that bridge when we get to it!’

‘She hasn’t said yes.’ Damien’s voice rumbles through my head and I feel my heart drop. ‘But she hasn’t said no either.’ He adds, ‘And she also hasn’t taken her eyes off of him.’

‘Fingers crossed.’ I mutter back and carry on sorting as he drops the link.

‘What if she does say no?’ Nyx suddenly asks.

‘Then I guess we are about to have a third pup.’ Though I was definitely not ready for that.

Just as I finish, Damien appears with a smile. “They have taken him home.” He takes the box of baby stuff from me.

“She said yes?”

He nods. “I didn’t think she would turn him away. Not after she gave him a name.”

“She has?”

He smiles at me, “Luca.”

‘I love it!’ Nyx declares. I’m certain if she had it her way, we would spend our whole time pregnant.

“It looks like Logan and Evrin will have a new friend.” I mutter. “Everything in that box should see them through for a couple of weeks until they can get their own stuff.”

He locks his eyes on me and nods. His fingers drum on the side of the box. “I won’t let her lose him.”
