Semua Bab A Contract With An Alpha: Bab 11 - Bab 20

ZAREK’s OFFICE “How do you know she has the mark? The mark Selene has could be from any childhood injury.” Leila said, her arms moving as she kept speaking. “You said it yourself, didn't you? Evelyn was the childhood sweetheart you have been searching for.” “That mark on Selene’s neck….” Zarek leaned forward, his elbows on the edge of his desk, his eyes locked on Leila. “It’s not noticeable but I saw it when she packed her hair up, and that mark….she covered that mark with a butterfly tattoo.”Leila shifted uncomfortably in her seat, glancing toward Zarek who sat on the leather armchair beside the window. “I did,” she said finally, her voice low. “It’s identical to the one you used to draw on that girl’s hand when you were kids. The three crescent lines? No one else knew about that.”“No one.” He said firmly.Leila scoffed, not looking up from her phone. “Except Evelyn,” she said flatly. “Zarek, you’ve known Evelyn your whole life. You did that mark on her too. Don’t act like you di

EVELYN“Beta Evelyn.” a soft voice echoed from the hallway and then the door opened very fast.A groan answered.“Karina, I swear if this isn’t about a fire in the pack or a war, I will—.” Evelyn said, as she angrily threw the blanket off her body.“No, this is not about war, this is more than a war.” Karina said firmly.She squinted at the light. “If not war then what now? Did the kitchen mess up the Alpha’s precious breakfast again?”“Your father is back.” Karina said, her voice barely above a whisper, while she opened the wardrobe to pick out a dress for Evelyn.Evelyn froze, she rolled her eyes and then glared around the room . “What do you mean he is back? Why would he come back so soon?” She asked, her voice barely above a whisper.“I don’t know, he came back so quick and called for a meeting, he asked to see the Alpha,” Karina said, her arms crossed tightly over the brown gown she held.“This must be important, or maybe he already knew about the new Luna.” Evelyn said, her voic

SELENEI heard a knock on the door and then without permission. The door opened and the person walked in.I didn’t bother turning. I was seated at my vanity table, I was half dressed, brushing out the tangles in my hair with slow movements. Afternoon light showed into the room, sharp and gold. Outside, in the pack mansion, a training bell rang twice, midday.I saw his reflection in the mirror before I heard his footsteps.Zarek.He was just standing there, silently watching me.“Didn’t know you’d come,” I said casually, still facing the mirror. “Figured you’d be busy right now.”“I am,” he said, his tone sharp. “But the Luna should be in her office by now.”I stopped brushing my hair. “You are right,” I muttered, placing the brush down. “The Luna.”Zarek stepped further inside, the door closing slowly behind him. “You’ve missed the morning report two days in a row.”“Didn’t know you started counting my attendance because no one told me about this, the same thing happened during the fi

SELENE“Come with me.” Zarek said, his voice deep and husky, then he turned his gaze back to me.I raised my eyebrow but I didn’t say anything.“What are you two waiting for?” He asked, his voice barely above a whisper, he didn’t take his eyes off me.I stood still, acting curious.“Selene.” He called.“What? I don’t even know what to do.” I said, my voice filled with frustration. “Huh?” I glared at him. “Don’t you think you have to explain what just happened? Your beta never acknowledged me as your Luna, she disgraced me just now, she belittled me and said I came from a gutter pack.” Zarek ran a hand through his hair. He glared at me, but he didn’t speak right away.That made it worse.I folded my arms to my chest, waiting for him to give me a response or better still make his beta apologize for disrespecting me.“I’m sorry, I’ll do something about it. Stay at the office. Let your maid put you through the things you need to know,” Zarek said, his voice clipped, distant. Then he wa

“It doesn’t matter.” Zarek said, placing the papers on his hand gently on the table.Leila nodded and tapped her hand on the table, she didn’t press further. She knew he would do whatever he wanted even though she asked him not to.Zarek tapped a finger on the table and then glared at Leila.“One more thing.” He said, his voice deep and husky.Leila raised her eyebrow. “You need my help?” She asked, with a light smile.Zarek nodded. “I need you to help me get their dresses ready for tomorrow. I need Selene to look more presentable because the gathering will not only favour me, it will favour her too.” Leila looked confused. “What do you mean? Care to explain?” She asked, as she leaned closer to Zarek.“I can’t explain, just do what I asked you.” Zarek shot back at her.“How do I even do that?” Leila said, her voice loud and firm.Victor smirked and then leaned back in his chair,he sipped his coffee slowly and then spoke up. “You know what women want,” he said simply. “Make sure you p
