The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0223

"What if we had gone through the blood tie? What would have happened to me then?” It was the question she replayed over and over, but she hadn't once asked me until now.

"He would have broken your heart.” I keep my voice level and calm. Purposely keeping the annoyance from my voice. He probably would have killed her too, but she doesn't need to know that.

Her frown deepens and her eyes move to the closed door separating the kitchen from the hallway. “I hope whoever Killed him, made his death quick.

She had this picture of him in her mind of the man he once was. I wanted to tell her the truth. To tell her that he was never that man and what a bad man he really was. I wanted to tell her about the kind of messed up situations he put himself in, long before he asked Cassandra to turn him. But I bury it down, letting her remember the tiny good things about him.

I was the idiot for letting him live for so long.

She gives me a small sad smile. I should be jealous. I was to begin with, but I can't change the fact that she loved him once, even if it was built on lies.

“You should... um..." She picks up the spoon and starts digging it back into the melted ice cream. “You should tell the others. Dane and Neah will be so happy.”

I move around the table to hug her and she jabs the spoon at me. “Don’t touch me, I will cut it off. I swear!” “I can't even wrap my arms around you." ‘I don't like being touched when it's my time of the month. You should know this by now! It happens every single damn month!”

"It you let me put a pup in you. It won't."

“Eric, go.” Dane mutters.

“Sure.” He stands and sways, momentarily falling back into the chair.

‘Drunk again, ksee?" I try to keep the judgemental {one to a minimum, but the way he acted, it pissed me off. ~~ He wasn even worthy of his title and Dae needed to strip it. I didn't carebout them being old friends. It shatld go to someone worthy, like Klaus. Content belongs ta FindNovel.Org

"What's it got to do with you?” Eric seethes

I was pretty sure he was an alcoholic now. Apart from his balance, he could hold a conversation. There was a term used, back when I was human, Functioning Alcoholic.” Yep, he definitely fitted that category.

“Eric, go home, get some rest.” Dane growls Eric stumbles out and Dane quickly calls for one of the omegas to follow Eric to make sure he gets home in one piece. “You really need to get a handle on that.” I mutter.

‘I found out someone is supplying him. I've told him and everyone else that if I find out they are bringing in alcohol for him, they will be ripped apart by the others.”

I cock a brow, surprised. He had been letting Eric's new habit slide for months, I wonder what's changed. I don't ask, it wasn't my place
