The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 514

Running my hands over the soft fabric, I sigh. I knew Dane would like it. It was simple, no embellishments of any kind. Something you could dress up or down, depending on the situation.

Thanking Mallory, I take it as she asks where Dane is taking me.

“I don’t know. He just said to wear something nice.”

“Fancy or non fancy?” She presses

I shrug. He had given no clue.

“Have trainers and heels prepared.” She winks at me. Then randomly adds, I think I might have something that will cover both."

After I shower and change, she has me sitting at her vanity table so she could curl my hair.

I wanted to ask her how she was, especially with the whole Damien and Samara situation, but I said nothing. It was easier not to poke at the wasp nest. But it was her who brought up the topic.

“Do you know if he has marked her yet?” She asks as she wraps my hair around the curler.

“I haven’t seen anything.”

“Oh.”

“He might not be ready yet. A lot has happened to him this year.”

“I thought men found it really hard to hold themselves back from marking us.” She frowns and my hand goes to my neck. My mark had released my Lycan abilities. Though Dane had managed to hold off marking me until I agreed.

‘And now you love me.’ Nyx chirps as I roll my eyes

“Can I ask you something?” Mallory murmurs

I bob my head as her eyes lock with mine in the mirror.

“Why is it always the men?”

“Huh?”
