The Alpha’s Contract

‘I agree.

She smiles at me. “Oh, you regret marking her?"

“No, I regret letting you live.” I turn around, walking away. “Keep your distance, Veronica. “You can't just walk away, Dane!” She moans, running alongside me

“I can do what I want, Veronica.”

“Why are you being like this? You used to care about me.”

“Used to. Like you said, it was a long time ago, there have been others since you and not once have I come back to you. Why do you think now will be any different?Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Because, because it's me."

Has she not come up with any new lines.’ Aero groans. ‘It's always the same fucking story. Please, we were good together, you let me live, blah blah blah. She really needs to get over herself.”

“Has she slept with Jenson? Is that why you banished him?”

“No. Stop trying to dig for information.”

She purses her red lips, keeping pace with me as I walk back towards the house.

“Veronica, go away.”

“I want to meet the woman that has captured your heart.”

Coming to a stop, I glare at her. “You want to meet my mate?”

“Yes, I want to meet your bride.”

“She's my mate, Veronica. She isn’t just a bride, she is my true mate.”

“You found her?” Her voice drops to a whisper as she stares at me with wide eyes.

“Yes.”

“NO!”

I smile, hearing the disappointment in her voice. It sounded just like the day I had told her it was over. “Yes. I didn’t just mark her because I wanted to. I marked her because she is my mate. She is the one that I have spent years searching for. “Where did you find her?”

“None of your business.”

“I bet she can't even satisfy you, can she?!” She mocks, trying to make little digs.

The last few days of our contract, I had distancedmyself f rom her, she wasa goodshag and in the end, that's about all I enjoyed about her:> The merhori es made it even more amusing, because it was like ©: Veronica couldn't see what was happening. My brothe knew, because he kept crackingjokes about being able to sleep with her. Though he never did.

Veronica was the only one he had never touched and even that said something.

“I would like to meet her.” Veronica's tone changes. her words become lighter as though she was suddenly happy about everything. She’s up to something.’ Aero mutters.

"No." I tell Veronica

“You can't hide her forever Dane. I told you, I'm home. It's time for me to put down some proper roots instead of spending all of your money on travelling.” She flutters her eyelashes again.

I was so tempted to kick her out. but so far, she hadn’t done anything wrong apart from make a few comments

“Have you got a job?” I ask

“I have. It’s nothing major, just a personal assistant to someone in the city.” she digs into her pockets and pullscout the credit card I hac given Aer. "Here." She gives mea smileand nands the credit card over. "Guess I don’t need this afhiymore.”

“What game are you trying to play Veronica?

“No game. Like I said, it’s time to stop exploring. It’s time to set up home. I am a Wolf after all and we are useless without a pack.” She’s done something.’ Aero mutters.

“What did you do, Veronica?”

“Nothing.” She halds her hands up. "I swear I'm telling the truth.”

‘Bullshit! Aera snaps and I had to agree with high. ‘The longest Veronica stayed in one place was ~ ~N when we were together. And evens then she was desperate to go « affto DY some far away country. She had never been concerned with.Aeeding terbelong to a pack. It was:one of the things I had liked about her.

“Why did you come to the hospital and not directly to the pack house? Are you in trouble?”
