The Alpha’s Contract

Dane

“Well that didn’t take long! Something tells me that your little sister was lying about you hunting. Tut tut. I’m a little disappointed in her.” Veronica studies me with her grey eyes. She runs her hands through her long blonde hair, pulling it back from her neck. Showing me that she still wasn't marked. It was an act, a reminder of why she was here.

Why is she here? Stupid bitch!’ Aero growls

‘You know why. The same reason she always is!’ I sigh

“Changed your mind, Dane?” She beams at me. “You know I’m here whenever you need me. Ready for you to claim me.” ‘I'm surprised it's taken you so long to arrive. Neah has been here almost a month now.”

She frowns at me, “That's not a nice way to greet your lover.

“You are not my lover. You haven't been for years. So what has brought you back this time? Because my answer never changes. You should have: figured that out by now.”

“Dane, don't be like that. We were great together. And we can still be great together. I’m just here to remind you of that. We both know this new one won't stick, I mean, I haven't even heard of her.”

I roll my eyes as Aero snorts

“That's what you say about each woman that has come after you.” “And I've been right, haven't I Dane?” She gives me a smug smiles “Well, I hate to break it to you, Veronica, you are wrong this time.” Her eyes turn to slits as she glares at me. "I killed my mate for you.” “For yourself, you mean.

She frowns at me and gets off of the nurses station. "I did it for us, you know that.” She takes a step towards me. “Are you still trying to deny how much you enjoyed it? I still remember how you smiled when he fell to his knees, begging you for your help.”

“Desperation doesn't look good on you Veronica.”

“Desperation?” She scoffs as her eyes widened. “I'm not here because I'm desperate.”

"You do this-every time I have anew bride. That screams desperation to me. Turing up just in the hopes that I will cast them aside, that’s pretty sad, veronica, you really shoald maewe on.” 'to -

“You can’t talk to me like that.”

“If I remember correctly, I am the Alpha here. You are the outsider, you were the one who betrayed your family. So you can go.”

Her grey eyes narrowed to slits again. “This is my home and I am: back fer good." She grabs holdof my fh hands. “Come on, Dane. You know we were great together.”

That was.a dong time ago, Veronica. I've moved on.” I pull my hands from hers. “And you need to get a grip: I've a ready banished my brother, would your ‘like to join him?” Content ~

“Seriously?” She gasps, “You actually kicked Jenson out?”

‘I did. So again, I will ask. Do you want to join him?

“No. I've been grateful that you have let me come and go. I don’t want to be without a pack. That would be torture.” “Then I suggest you behave. If you try anything with Neah, I won't just banish you, I will rip your throat out.” “WHAT???? You won't do that.”

“Do you want to try me?” I keep my tone hollow, to show her that I wasn't fucking about anymore.

“What's so special about her?” She demands

This will be good.’ Aero chuckles

“I marked her."Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“You what? You...you actually marked someone? As in, you claimed them as yours?”

“Yes.”

“You've never done that. You've rejected all of us..... You only came close to marking me.”

“No Veronica. I was never going to mark you. And to think, you were the only one who got to live.”

Her mouth falls open as her arms fold up under her large breasts, pushing her cleavage at me. “You made a mistake Dane.”
