The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 466

He studies me, “And what are you going to do?”

“Shred him.” I hold my claws up to him

‘And gut him’ Nyx adds gleefully

“Not if I beat you to it.” He smiles at me. “The asshole is slowly destroying my pack, right in front of me. No one has ever done that. The pack had always been strong, united. But gradually…..” He shakes his head in frustration. “I’m not letting it continue.”

‘Cooper will be dead by the end of the week.’ Nyx murmurs. ‘Dane didn’t disagree with our plan.’

The twins lay between us on the bed in Mallory and Eric’s spare room. They slept soundly and both in Human form. I had only been away for a short time but I missed them so much. Even watching them made my heart ache.

“When the house is rebuilt, I think we are going to need a bigger bed. Especially when the new pups come along.”

“Excuse me!” I whisper, trying to not wake the boys up. “Pup, not pups!”

He smiles at me, “One, two or even three. I don’t care, as long as you and they are healthy.” He leans over the boys and kisses my cheek

Why does he keep saying they? I ask Nyx if there is something she needs to tell me.

‘Too early.’ she mutters quietly. ‘Let’s focus on the main problem.’

Multiple times I wake with a foot in my face or a finger up my nose. For two small boys, they certainly moved around alot in their sleep.

In the end I get up and sit in the rocking chair that Mallory had left for me. The boys wiggle their way on to Dane’s chest and though I enjoyed watching them. Though, I couldn’t help but think of the way I was going to kill Cooper. I didn’t want him ruining anymore lives and I certainly didn’t want him anywhere near my children.

Quietly, I change into a pair of jeans and a hoodie, pulling on my boots, I sneak out of the house and head to Klaus’s place. The lights are still on and when I look through the window, I see him sitting at the table where I had spent so many hours learning to read.

“Do you know what it was?”

“No, but without Brax telling me, I knew who it belonged to. I don’t know how or why, but I could smell him when Brax handed it to me.”

“Like a mate scent?”

“Not quite.”

“I don’t follow.” I say with a frown.

“I don’t understand it either.” He tells me. “That’s why all these books are open. I’m trying to find something that will guide me. Something that will help me understand if this is really what I am. But even without reading, a lot of it makes sense.”

“Like Brax, I am different. I’m not driven by the need to belong. I’m not a true pack Wolf, though I love this pack. I will do what is asked of me, sure, and I understand now why I never fitted in, long before I was welcomed here. I was never supposed to be a pack member. And this may come as a surprise, but when Cooper is dead, I will be leaving to find my own path.”
