The Alpha’s Contract novel Chapter 502

“I can’t believe he is leaving the pack.” Samara mutters as she follows me back home.

“He needs to do what he needs to do.”

“But it’s still a huge risk. He could be gone for years.”

“That’s Klaus’s choice. He isn’t being kicked out and he has spoken to Neah about it.”

Back inside, she makes herself a coffee and settles on the sofa. Crossing her legs, she flips the book open and rests it on them.

I took my own coffee to the table, I could see her through the open door. Several times she goes to take a drink, but the mug never quite makes it to her lips. A wide range of emotion flashes across her face as she turns the pages. Curiosity, surprise, sadness and every now and again, she would look overwhelmed by what she is reading.

“Do you know much about the war?” She asks and her eyes lock on mine. A rosy pink tinge fills her cheeks and she starts drinking the coffee to hide her face.

“Luck.”

“You believe in luck?” she scoffs

“I think that’s for the best.” I shout back and head out the door.

Mallory is staring at me with a cocked eyebrow, a few feet away from my door and with Luca in a sling. “I’ve seen that look before.” She smirks as I stride past her.

“It’s nothing.” I mutter

“Hmm.”

“There is no ‘hmm’. It is nothing.”

“If you say so.” She muses

“Why are you here anyway?”

“Eric is on duty, there are a lot of people in my house and I just needed an hour or two. And it’s good for Luca.”

“Sounds like you regret inviting Neah and Dane to stay.” I tease
