All Chapters of The Alpha’s Contract Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The moment that alarm went off, the first thing I did was let Lora take over so my senses would be heightened. The moment I felt her settle in, I let my eyes scan the entire field, trying to figure out where the said attack was coming from, but all I could see were wolves doing nothing but panicking. Well, that was before Louis’s mom shoved me behind her protectively.I remained behind her, letting Lora scan the space one more time, but she came to the same conclusion. There are no intruders, Tracy, it’s a false alarm. And with those words, she returned control to me and curled into her hiding spot again. If there was no attack, then what the hell was happening? Was there anyone crazy enough to trigger the alarm and cause such panic for no reas—oh, wait. There was one person.I immediately snapped my head to the side, my eyes landing on Louis, who wore a tight frown, his eyes locked on the distance. I followed his gaze, and my eyes finally found the man I assumed was responsible for t

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to describe the feeling that overwhelmed me the moment my link with the pack was established. Even now, as I lay beside Louis on the bed, all I could think of was the sheer recognition and respect that flowed from the pack members at that time. Frankly, the seriousness of the blood binding made this contract of ours seem a whole lot more serious. What happens when they all find out that I’m a fake? What if Louis later finds his true mate? All those possibilities that I hadn’t thought of before came rushing to my mind in that minute. But above everything else, one of the major factors keeping me up was the man beside me. This would be the first time I was actually going to sleep with him in the room. I had always gone to sleep alone and woken up with him in the bed, so yes—I couldn’t get my eyes to close now that he was here, especially with everything he did today. I would be lying to myself if I said I hated him more for the whole choking fiasco. I

What I was watching could hardly be called a fight or even a spar at this point. My eyes were wide, and my mouth fell open as I watched Louis toy around with my brother while the entire crowd cheered. And for the first time, I didn’t blame them. If I could have even brought myself to utter a single word, I would have been cheering right along with them.All of Louis’s movements were nothing but a blur of motion. Every dodge, every punch, every single move was so sharp and incredibly smooth. They had been going at it for close to ten minutes, and my brother hadn’t managed to land a single hit.My brother! The best fighter I knew, struggling to even touch him. What exactly was Louis? Or rather, who the hell had trained him for him to be this good? I knew that as wolves our movements were naturally faster, but his were on an entirely different level. If this was him in a friendly spar, I could only imagine him in a real, life-or-death fight."I hope you can see clearly the monster you go

When I stepped into Louis’s office, I would have never anticipated something like this happening. Even now, after he had walked away and buried his head in a mountain of papers, I still stood in the exact same spot, utterly unsure how to react. Where do I even start? The fact that he touched me like that? The way he talked so casually about us having sex? Or how he barked at and dismissed the Delta, knowing full well the uncontrollable rumors that would spark from it? It was favorable to our cause, yes, but I still wanted to know what on earth was going through his mind when he decided to... do that. But of course, the version of Tracy he knows would never directly confront him like that. Instead, I turned to face him, smoothing down my clothes with trembling fingers. "I’ve made some progress with the perfume," I murmured, my voice soft. "I don’t know if you can smell it on me yet." Only then did his dark eyes raise from his paperwork to meet mine. "That’s the first thing you sa

Louis POV I couldn’t hide the pure amusement settling over my face as I helped Tracy back to my room. For someone who was usually so… well, her, hearing her speak to the council members like that was refreshing, to say the least. I knew for a fact they hadn’t seen it coming. I could only imagine how much courage she’d needed to muster to say all those things without a single stutter. Not that anything she said was wrong. I was ready to back her up wherever necessary because I knew she was only trying to protect her brother—just like I told her to. I liked this bold, daring Tracy a lot better than the fragile version still nestled against my side as I pushed the door open. "You should get some rest," I said calmly, finally letting go of her shoulders. "Like I said, you did good today. Now let’s wait and see how they react." "Do you think they’ll actually give in and appoint my brother?" she asked, settling onto the edge of the bed. I shrugged. "If they don’t, we’ll be a pack witho
