The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0233

Seconds later, a brisk knock raps the door and Damien doesn’t even wait for me to tell him to come in.

His dark eyes settled on her as more tears seeped from the corner of her eyes.

Damien crosses the room, sliding his arms under her even when she protests about being touched. He pulls her against him until she gives in and lets him carry her from the room.

As they leave, Dane makes his way in, planting a kiss on my cheek. “What was that about?”

“She misses him.”

He nods his head knowing exactly who I am talking about.

“Do you think there is a chan…..

“No.” He cuts me off before I even finish the sentence. “Jenson made it more than clear that he doesn’t want this. I’m not pandering to him!”

Every so often he would throw in a word or phrase that I didn’t know. I think sometimes he forgot that I was a slave and the only words and phrases I knew were ones that were used around the house. Some I had learned in my time here, but still, there was always something.

He sees my face and corrects himself. “I’m not going to do what he wants just because he throws a fit. I need to do what’s best for our family and the pack.”

“I want to help her. But I don’t know how to.”

“You can’t.” He looks over to our napping twins. “It’s more than just a sibling missing a sibling. They are connected in more ways than most. Twins that carry Alpha blood. They are twins that have also

been gifted twin Wolves. That bond they have shared since the day they were conceived can’t just be broken because he left the pack.”

“Can she still link him?”

“No.”

“You just said the bond is stronger. What about her Wolf, Midnight, could she connect with his?”

“Aspen? I guess I haven’t really thought about it. If you haven’t noticed, she doesn’t really talk about Jenson to me. Or Damien.” He adds with a sigh. “She did this after our parents died. She partially shuts down. Though it’s really hard to see because she carries on with life in general, she just won’t talk about the things that are weighing her down.”

“She talks to me. Not much, but she does.”

“And I am more than grateful for that.” He kisses my cheek again, inching down to my lips.

The electricity of his touch ignites my body as his kiss deepens. His tongue is quick to explore my mouth as his hand locks into my hair, holding me close.

“The boys.” I murmur, pulling away.

He growls when I don’t let him go any further. “They will be sleeping in their own room tonight.”

“But…” I start to protest. I have had them close to me every night since they were born. They were my responsibility. It was up to me to keep them safe from the chaos of the world.

“They are nearly seven months old. Their nursery has been ready for months. And they will be in the room right next door with a guard if that makes you feel better. I need my mate to myself, even if it's only for a few hours.”

He nuzzles the mark on my neck, knowing that it is my weak spot. His hot breath brings my skin to life.

“Two guards.” I murmur back

“If it means I don’t have to share you, you can have as many as you want.”

He kisses me again just as Evrin starts to cry and mutters something about that’s why he wanted me alone as he climbs off the bed.

Seconds later Logan wakes too. It was definitely a twin thing.
