All Chapters of Contracted For The Alpha : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The cool evening air was like a soothing caress Natalie desperately needed. Natalie took several calming breaths, trying to not only ease her anger but that of her wolf. Raven was raging over how that male had held her as if he owned her. And the very thought was driving her so insane she was practically crawling at Natalie's brain.Natalie stiffened as she heard footsteps approaching. Expecting it to be Mark, she turned to give him a piece of her mind but paused when she saw it was her father. He sighed as he halted a few feet behind her."Natalie, I think it's time you stopped fighting this. Mark is dominant, and I won't have you disrespecting him in my house. Lord knows I trained you better than that."Natalie turned slowly, her hands clenching into tight fists."Do you know he tried to bite me? Tried to show his dominance by physically overpowering me with his sharp teeth?"Her father rolled his eyes, which could only mean he knew.Her suspicions were right. Lance was a monster.

There was no response, of course. But Natalie sat at her dead mate's grave and talked, knowing that everything she was going to say would be received without judgment. "There's this other alpha who's offered me a deal that would get me out of this, but it means I'd have to mate with him. It wouldn't be a real mating, because all he wants is an alliance with my dad and it will only be temporary. The thing is… I need to make everyone believe that he's my true mate, which means I'm going to be telling them that you never were. And I'm so sorry for this, so fucking sorry, my love, but I can't see any other way out. People say I must wish I'd never found you if it meant you were going to die before we even had a chance to fully etch, but I don't wish that, you know. Never have, never will. We might not have mated, but we did have a bond. I'm so sorry, but this is the last time I'll be here. My dad's not going to let me come back after this, but you can bet your ass that I'll still be ta

Nelly worried her lower lip as she rose and turned to Natalie. "Can you help?" she asked as she frantically looked between them all. Nelly knew that Natalie could decide not to help a packmate if that person was dumb enough to drug themselves into a practically catatonic state, but she hoped Natalie could see that Arya wasn't the type of person who would do drugs. As if Natalie knew what Nelly was thinking, she set her hands on the girl's shoulders and smiled. "Of course, I can heal her. We just need to find out if Renee will let us use her event tent. I can't heal her here." "For you, I'm sure she will. But I'll go ask her nonetheless," Zane rasped before disappearing into the crowd. "Do you think someone spiked her drink?" Shirley asked, and Nelly heaved a sigh. "She was fine up until those rogue werewolves began sniffing around her." Nelly's voice had a panicky tinge to it as she continued, "I told her not to go around them but she didn't listen. I got pissed and walked out o

Natalie knew her face was a mask of surprise, and she knew everyone would mistake it for her shock at supposedly finding her mate. Her surprise, however, was genuine. She hadn't expected Dominic to be able to pull that kind of response from her body, even with the effect he seemed to have on her. She had practically melted for him, and he hadn't even really touched her. And when his teeth had sunk into her skin… it was as though an electric current had traveled through her, sparking her release to hit her. Not like when Mark had tried to bite her against her will, which had left her feeling violated and enraged.Her ever-present connection with her dad as Alpha had immediately disappeared, and now she was buzzing with a new connection. To be honest, she was thrilled. Her father's presence in her mind had always felt invasive because of his aversion to her. He was all ice and aggressive and elusive. But Dominic was different. He was strong and dangerous and had raw sexuality. His prese

Dominic wasn't surprised by his wolf's jealous reaction to the sight of the fading bite from Mark's wolf teeth on Natalie's flesh. What surprised him was the fact that she had accommodated his wolf's basic need to replace the mark with his own. He should be feeling over the moon, but that wasn't the emotion plaguing him. With one bite, he had done exactly what Mark had done. Force his mark on her due to jealousy."You didn't struggle," he said, knowing he sounded a little mystified. He hadn't expected Natalie's Kaged wolf to understand how difficult it was to rein in his beast's instinct when the wolf lived so close to the surface like his did. But somehow, she did. And that surprised him.Natalie sighed and bit her lip."You and I aren't all that different when it comes to our wolves, Dominic. My wolf constantly reaches for the surface, not because she has no understanding of why she's trapped, but because she hates that she is and always wants to test fate by pushing to the surface.
