The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 505

‘We can take her.’ Dakota mutters as they walk away.

“No. That will just add fuel to the fire that I’m already trying to extinguish. Besides, she is Neah’s half sister.”

‘But they don’t get along.’

“Maybe not, but I don’t want to risk being kicked out.” I groan

‘Because you want to be with Damien!’

****

Damien didn’t come back for hours and since he has been back, he has barely spoken a word to me. He didn’t seem angry. But he sits at the small table in the kitchen, an arm resting on the top as his fingers drum the wood.

“Is Dorothy coming back tonight?” I ask quietly. School would have finished a couple of hours ago. And at least she would break the tension that seemed to be surrounding us.

“Sleepover.” He mutters as his dark eyes find mine.

“That’s nice.” I wasn’t sure what I should say. Being around him made me nervous, but it also made my heart flutter. “She didn’t mention it this morning.”

I was trying so hard to keep the conversation light. Maybe he had changed his mind about me being here. What if Blair had said something to him.

“I asked if she could stay with Mallory for the night.”

“Oh.”

“So we could have the place to ourselves.”

“What?”

I roll off the sofa and smack my head on the coffee table as I hit the floor.

“Ow!” Looking around, I realise I am alone. Damien had never returned and it was dark outside.

I feel the warmth of my blood trickle down my forehead and quickly get to my feet. Why did the dream have to seem so real?

Moving upstairs to the bathroom, I look in the mirror and scan the small inch long cut. It was already healing, which was weird to watch. I had never been able to heal until Cooper's power over me was broken.

Using a cloth, I wipe away the blood and groan. It had been a long time since a man I liked had invaded my dreams like that.
