The Alpha's Contract By Taylor West Pdf Novels & Stories

“You can’t control every variable, Alpha Voss. Not the border, and not what happens when you finally speak plainly.” His jaw tightened. For a moment the careful distance he preferred seemed harder for him to maintain. He stopped a few feet away—close enough that the bond stirred, low and insistent. “The contract requires stability,” he said. “Not examination of the past.” “The past is already in the room with us. Pretending otherwise is just another calculation.” Silence stretched. Outside the study window, the light had shifted toward midday. Kael’s gaze moved over my face, slower than before, as if measuring something he had not intended to face.

Hunter’s motives I could at least semi understand, not that I agreed with the asshole by any means, but I didn’t think I would ever comprehend how the elders could continue to sabotage the lupine species at every turn. I finally arrived at the rec center as I wrapped up my conversation with my soulmate in my head, so I was able to concentrate on my responsibilities as Alpha of the Western Province, as a result. I strolled up to my beta, noticing the confidence he irradiated with pride as I greeted him, asking, “Hey, Oli. How are things going here?” “Ah, you’re finally back. Everything is going smoothly, most of the dragons have left by now, but they all enjoyed the hell out of the food you i

He flinched slightly as our eyes met, his fear evident. Good. “Alpha—“ he wanted to greet. “Speak,” I commanded, my voice sharp and unyielding. There was no need for pleasantries. Alaric swallowed hard, shifting on his feet. “Alpha Atticus…” he began, his voice trembling, “I bring news about Luna Hera.” He said and my entire body tensed. “What about Hera?” I demanded, my voice dangerously low. “She… she has contracted the plague.” The words hit me like a physical blow, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. My hands balled into fists at my sides as the rage swelled inside me. My wolf growled in anger.

Nick's POV After sending Eva the message, I tossed my phone aside in frustration. Just then, Wayne walked in with several gift boxes in his arms. "Alpha Nick, these are the evening dresses you picked out," he said. "Should I send them all to Luna Eva?" I waved my hand and replied, "Yeah, send them all. Let her pick the one she likes." Wayne nodded. Then, he spoke up hesitantly. "There's a woman named Zora Knott asking to see you. Should I let her in?"

This Beta’s Alpha, judging from the look of outrage that crossed his face when he saw what was going on. Elijah looked at me, and I cleared my throat and explained the situation. “Your Beta touched me,” I said, my voice coming out more clear than I expected. “I’m Alpha Elijah’s wife. The Luna of Silvermoon.” The Alpha stared incredulously, glancing back and forth between me and Elijah, who was still holding his Beta firmly by the ear. Elijah simply nodded, confirming my statement. The Beta tried to intervene, but it was no use. With a swift command, the Alpha dismissed him. Permanently. And with the utmost humiliation, might I add.

Sarena asked, pointing to the door. Aby smiled and shook his head. "The Alpha never shares his work schedule or activities with anyone, Ms. Sarena. He goes and comes home as he pleases and no one ever knows when it is." Sarena let out an exasperated sigh. She was on the edge of despair and she couldn't even rely on her husband. Well, even though technically her marriage to whoever the Alpha becomes her husband is only bound by a contract, in practice she still has to serve the Alpha's desires in bed and obey him. So, why is it that when she is in trouble, she feels alone without help?

“What?! When was this? Wait. Is she yours? Or his?” I couldn’t respond. My chest tightened just thinking about it. Could that be Alex's problem? Mia? She had already signed the contract to be bound to us. Not romantically or even by choice. But by duty. It would get us the heir we needed, and get the fucking apostles off our back. A loophole in the tradition… a secret agreement that shouldn't be told to anyone. Yet everything about the way Alex was acting told me this had nothing to do with this particular duty. No. It was about something else.

I nodded, wanting to suggest that the contract also state he wouldn’t try to seduce me, but I knew enough about werewolf culture to know I could never suggest that for an alpha. I looked down at the contract and read it through carefully once more. “I need a pen, please,” I said, looking at the beta, whose name I needed to learn. He pulled a plain but obviously high-quality fountain pen from his breast pocket and handed it to me. I used Chloe’s little nightstand as a desk and signed the paper, and then handed the pen back to the beta and the contract to the alpha. They both took the items with a little nod.

“I don’t care what you want to call me. If you don’t void this contract, I will raise it with them.” “On the ground of what?” “You had my father sign this a few days before I took over. You knew I would never agree to it.” “He was still the Alpha.” “And I am the Alpha now. Until we have this settled, none of your cargo will go around my pack. If there’s nothing illegal in there, then use your fucking port to handle them and leave me out of it!” Alpha Lawrence threw his napkin on the table and pushed his chair back before standing and turning his gaze at me.

“You don't have to worry about that, Dextera. Just think about my proposal. That's all I want from you.” “I accept.” I uttered out of the blue, surprising him and myself. Thor gave me a quick questioning look, clicking an eyebrow. “I accept to sign the contract with you, Great Alpha.” “Are you sure? You've got...” I cut him short. “I’m completely at your service, Alpha Thor. Beckon on me, and I'm all yours.” I saw a small, satisfactory smile pull around the Alpha's lips. “Good. The contract will be drafted and sent to you soon.”
