The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 49

“I agree.”

She smiles at me. “Oh, you regret marking her?”

“No, I regret letting you live.” I turn around, walking away. “Keep your distance, Veronica.”

“You can’t just walk away, Dane!” She moans, running alongside me.

“I can do what I want, Veronica.”

“Why are you being like this? You used to care about me.”

“Used to. Like you said, it was a long time ago, there have been others since you and not once have I come back to you. Why do you think now will be any different?”

“Because, because it’s me.”

‘Has she not come up with any new lines.’ Aero groans. ‘It’s always the same fucking story. Please, we were good together, you let me live, blah blah blah. She really needs to get over herself.”

“Has she slept with Jenson? Is that why you banished him?”

“No. Stop trying to dig for information.”

She purses her red lips, keeping pace with me as I walk back towards the house.

“Veronica, go away.”

“I want to meet the woman that has captured your heart.”

Coming to a stop, I glare at her. “You want to meet my mate?”

“Yes, I want to meet your bride.”

“She’s my mate, Veronica. She isn’t just a bride, she is my true mate.”

“You found her?” Her voice drops to a whisper as she stares at me with wide eyes.

“Yes.”

“NO!”
