All Chapters of The Alpha’s Contract Mate: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I was walking, my hand still held tightly in Louis’s firm grip as we weaved through the crowd toward the pack house. But my mind was nowhere close. A marathon was running in my head, and I had no idea where the finish line was. For someone who wasn't easily flustered, the fact that a mere kiss from someone like Louis had shaken me like this was more agitating than the kiss itself. If I were to be reasonable, my mind should know it was all for show. It was part of our unspoken contract to do whatever it took to sell the act to the pack—and he had done just that. I knew for a fact he hadn't kissed me because he actually wanted to. Besides, I had tried to push him away, but his sheer strength made it impossible. My lips tingled the entire way back to his room, but I didn't say a single word. My first kiss... lost to an egoistic, psychopathic Alpha. Who could I even share this predicament with? The moment we were finally inside the safety of our.. i mean his room, I yanked my hand f

The moment I finished speaking, the rogues wasted no time charging at me. They seemed to have come here with a specific purpose, but I couldn’t care less about that. I let Lora take over, and my claws extended in the very same second. I didn’t even give them time to be surprised before digging my claws straight into the chest of the man closest to me.I pulled my hands free, ignoring his screams, and locked eyes with the others standing a short distance away. A small smile graced my face as I snapped the rogue’s neck, letting him drop to the floor right after.Damn, that got my adrenaline pumping."What are you waiting for? Let’s hurry this up!" I yelled, bouncing on my feet before approaching them again. This time, the remaining rogues charged at me all at once.I did my best to dodge what I could, and what I couldn’t, I let the marks settle comfortably. I would heal in a few minutes anyway. I managed to grab a female rogue and twisted her arm until the sound of cracking bone filled

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

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

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
