Contracted For The Alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

The moment they got back on pack territory, Dominic closed himself in his office, needing privacy to fight off the memories haunting him and the gray cloud that seemed to be hanging over him. Yeah, he was a brooder. But it wasn’t the memory of his uncle being severely wounded that haunted him, nor was it the memory of how many suddenly turned against him just like that. It was the memory of something far worse—something that he shouldn’t be able to shove to the back of his mind, only to have it resurface from time to time. But he wasn’t someone who felt the way everybody else did. He knew instincts. He knew urges. He knew logic. But feelings… not so much. It wasn’t that he was cold, just that he’d closed himself off a long time ago, what he now knew was a defense mechanism. It was most likely a bad thing, and strongly linked to his underdeveloped conscience, but it was also one of the things that had made it possible for him to take on the responsibilities of Alpha at fourteen and g

Natalie instantly stiffened, but knowing she’d fight him, Dominic slipped an arm beneath her and locked it tight around her, pinning her arms against her body. “You tricky fucking bastard,” she rasped, struggling against his grip and the sensations. But his hold only tightened as he kept her right where he wanted her, pumping his fingers hard and deep, demanding her orgasm. “Come. Now.” He bit down hard on the back of her shoulder. Dominic could feel Natalie’s traitorous body give him what he wanted. An orgasm washed over her, and her muscles clutched his fingers as she came with a loud cry. Then, in one decisive movement, he raised her leg, tucked it into the crook of his elbow, and drove into her. Oh, she could claim to hate him all she wanted, but her body was singing a different song. Dominic groaned as her muscles contracted around his cock. “Fuck, Nat.” She melted against him for a second and then went back to struggling. Well, of course she did. In this particular battl

Natalie gaped at Mark’s words.“You have got to be kidding me. Why would you bother? You can't tell me you're that obsessed with the idea of breaking my spirit until I'm some kind of slave.”“That’s what he had planned?” Dominic asked.Dominic’s wolf, Drak, leaped for control, wanting to gut the bastard, but Dominic subdued him.Mark just shrugged. “What male wouldn’t want to be able to turn a dominant female like Natalie into a gorgeously submissive slave?”“Well, they would be the sane males,” Natalie spat.“Stand back, baby,” Dominic ordered as he removed his T-shirt and then tackled the fly of his jeans. “You heard him. He wants to battle it out.”She might have tried to calm the atmosphere if she hadn’t known from experience that when two dominant male wolves agreed to battle, the situation was beyond help.She had the strange urge to kiss Dominic but knew he didn't need to look weak right now.“To the death,” Dominic said to Mark in a calm but icy tone. “We battle to the death.”

The new Alpha's expression was a mixture of shock and eagerness.“An alliance would be acceptable,” he said coolly, seemingly trying to hide his excitement and appear like a composed Alpha.“We can’t exactly discuss it properly now for obvious reasons,” Natalie said, flicking a look at the Alpha male of her pack, who was still very much in wolf form. “We’ll call it a temporary verbal contract—one that will expire in thirty days if you don’t contact us to lay out the details with Dominic.”Looking apprehensively at the silvery-blue wolf, the Alpha asked, “You’ll be there too, right?”She smiled.“Don’t worry, I won’t let him eat you. Once we’re inside, you can take Mark’s body.”At the Alpha’s surprised look, she added, “We’re not trophy killers here.”His nod communicated respect.With that, she slowly stood and began to walk toward the caves, signaling for the rest of the pack to keep a fair distance away so that Drak didn’t feel threatened and turn wild again.She didn’t have to enc

A voice in Dominic’s head questioned his reasoning, the part of him that thought he was talking out of his ass. He couldn’t help but wonder if it really would. Of course, it would. That wasn’t to say that he didn’t like Natalie. He did. And he respected her, which said a lot. And yeah, okay, there was that weird thing between them, that primal hunger. And she made him laugh, and she was refreshing because she wasn’t afraid of him or to speak her mind in front of him, and she— Damn it, no. No, the attraction was mostly just due to their mating. It was just his instincts driving him, not his regard for Natalie. Dominic wasn’t at the mercy of those instincts or his wolf. He had a mind of his own, and that mind was going to rule how he behaved from here on out. Unless the situation required him to touch her, like when they were posing as mates, he would resist doing so. It would probably be best not to have sex with her again, given that he would never be able to resist the urge to mark
