The stuffiness in the brightly lit room was the first thing that hit me as Louis and I walked into the council chamber. It was truly baffling how fast the night had passed, but I was glad the day was finally here. The men seated around the long table stood up swiftly as we walked in, their heads bowed slightly.

Louis led me forward, his hand firm and steady on my waist until we stopped in front of two heavy chairs positioned at the head of the table.

"You may take your seats," he called out aut

  • The Alpha’s Contract Mate   CHAPTER 39

    Louis’s POVWhen I shifted, I anticipated the shock and surprise that came with it—no one outside my immediate family and Mark had ever seen my wolf form before. But their reaction wasn’t the reason I arranged this shifting ceremony the moment my parents stepped back into the pack. I did it because of Tracy.That kiss in the secret room revealed a lot more than she thought it did, making her even more suspicious in my eyes. I didn’t mention smelling her arousal just to embarrass her; I said it because I expected her to realize what it implied. Luckily for her, she didn't seem to make the connection. A normal, weak wolf like she claimed to be couldn't possibly get aroused without her heart skipping a beat.It was a physical contradiction—one she pulled off effortlessly right in front of me. Hell, I didn’t even care that the kiss turned her on; I was entirely focused on how she managed to keep her pulse flat while doing so, and who she truly was. But even with my suspicions, I certainl

    "Do we really have to do this today, Louis?" I called out, my voice tight as he led me down the staircase toward the echo of endless chatter below. He hadn’t given me more than a few minutes to get dressed after mentioning the shifting ceremony. According to him, performing it now would boost pack morale—and it was a rite of passage we should have completed immediately upon taking our positions anyway. I had been dying to learn more about his wolf, but now that the moment was here, I wished I had more time to mentally prepare. It felt entirely too abrupt. "My parents are back and the pack is assembled. What reason do we have to delay?" he answered, finally releasing my wrist as we reached the bottom steps. "You don’t need preparation to shift, Tracy. You’re a wolf." With that, he took a firm step forward, and I followed as we approached the crowd. The pack members instantly bowed, choruses of "Alpha" and "Luna" filling the hall as we trailed outside together, the crowd following

    I forced my feet to move after Louis left, shutting the heavy door loudly before walking back toward one of the plush couches littering the secret room. I flopped fully onto it, my eyes immediately fixing on the high ceiling.Never threaten me like that again, Tracy, my wolf’s voice echoed sharply in my mind.I scoffed internally, mentally shutting her off. Leave me alone, Lora, I whispered into the quiet room, my thoughts spinning out of control.He said he smelled my arousal. What could possibly be more embarrassing than that? I just wanted to crawl into some forsaken hole and never come back out. And to make matters worse, I couldn't even smell the damn thing myself. His heightened senses were going to be the death of me someday—that is, if I didn't figure out exactly what he was first.He had said it again: he wasn’t a normal wolf. If he wasn't normal, which I already knew for a fact, then what the hell was Louis Greenwood? Aside from being a freaking psychopath, that is.I knew I

    I remained quiet even after hearing what Louis whispered, not because I lacked a response, but because he wasn’t wrong. He had managed to catch me off guard for the very first time, and I couldn’t control how my heart had jumped at the sudden touch, nor how the stubborn organ was still struggling to settle down while his warm breath fanned my exposed neck. "How are you all holding up?" his deep voice called out, this time addressing the pack members I had just been speaking with. "We were a bit shaken, Alpha, but we thank you for keeping us all safe," a man answered respectfully, and I felt Louis nod behind me. How long, exactly, was he planning to stay wrapped around me like this? "The Luna has also been so kind to reassure us that this won't happen again," a woman added, and I forced a soft smile in her direction. "I’m glad everyone is being well taken care of," Louis said. A quiet sigh almost escaped my lips as I finally felt his hands slip from my waist. "I’ll address the pa

    Louis’s POV"How true is what your sister told me?" I asked smoothly the moment Mark walked into my office."If this is about those attackers disguised as rogues, then every word she spoke is true, Alpha," he responded, taking a seat opposite my desk."I’m sure you noticed how weak they were while fighting, too, didn't you?" He asked and i gave a brief nod. "Go through their bodies for anything that might lead us to their mastermind. I’ll personally interrogate anyone who’s still breathing."Mark exhaled deeply, leaning back. "Is it far-fetched to think this is Lesley’s work?"A small, amused chuckle escaped me, my brows raising. "If it really was his work, that would make things far too easy for me. He’d be giving me the exact leverage I need to strip him of his seat permanently."I shook my head, keeping my voice level. "But I won’t pin this on him just because I hate his fake guts. We investigate properly, as always, and only act when we have solid proof. Just find something substa

  • The Alpha’s Contract Mate    CHAPTER 34

    I walked straight up the stairs the moment I made it inside the pack house. People were just starting to file in, and everyone seemed too lost in their own heads to pay much attention to me, giving only curt bows before looking away.No major structural damage had been done, but I could feel how deeply shaken everyone was—and I didn’t blame them for worrying. The alarm might have warned us and provided enough time to evacuate the pack members today, but what if it didn’t work next time?I made my way straight to Louis’s room and pushed the door open without a second thought. If he was already mad, knocking or not wasn’t going to change the fact that he’d snap at me anyway. I was starting to understand how he operated.To my surprise, the harsh scowl he had worn when walking out on the elders was nowhere to be found. He raised his head slightly as I walked in, his eyes lingering on me a second longer than usual."Are you sure doing that is fine, Louis?" I muttered, walking over and se
