The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 78

Dane

Veronica stomps off, both furious and upset that she hadn’t gotten what she wanted. After all these years, I half expected her to be used to it, but still, she remains persistent, looking for a way back in.

Though I had to hide my amusement at Neahs thoughts. Once again, the darkness in her makes a subtle appearance. Though only I could hear it.

“She’s a piece of work.” Devon mutters.

‘I agree,’ Aero mutters

“Why didn’t you just tell her you’re gay?” I ask, ignoring Aero’s ramblings

“What would be the fun in that?” Devon smiles, still watching Veronica stomping away, over the snowy grounds. “Besides, she was too dumb to follow what I was saying. So what's the deal there?”

“It’s a long story. And one that doesn’t really concern you.” I tell him, I see how his eyes momentarily flicker to Neah, but this time, he keeps his mouth shut. Recognising that he had no authority to question my decisions as an Alpha.

In the house, I ask one of the Omegas to show Devon to his room and insist that he is placed in one of the rooms furthest away from mine.

Neah, Eric and I, head into the office. I needed a plan in place. I needed Trey and Cassandra hunted down and killed. There was no way I was letting either of them find my mate or find someone to impregnate her.

Neah sighs and rubs her eyes. But just like every other time, she sits in silence, regretting her dark thoughts. Questioning herself on how evil she could be.

In my eyes, she wasn’t evil. She just wanted revenge, a revenge that was more than deserved. But when it came to it, I wondered if she could actually go through with killing them.

“Take some of the warriors into the city. See if you can find anything.” I tell Eric. I wanted time alone with Neah

“Do you want me to take Devon? I mean, he should be able to sense them, right. It might make it a little easier.”

“Don’t let him out of your sight.”
