The Alpha’s Contract

Chapter 0516

Neah

My eyes move over the crowd of people. They are completely unaware that someone powerful is here.

"You smell it too?" Dane asks quietly. He is more subtle than I am at casting a glance across the room.

Inod. It was definitely an Alpha of some kind. A Wolf too.

"Don't read too much into it. It's a place where anyone can go. Sometimes others pass through. Remember, neutral territory." He tells me

Even I could see that deep down, he was pissed off. He wanted to take me out. A peaceful evening and we are probably going to get as much peace and quiet as we did when the twins were newborns.

When the waiter comes over, Dane orders himself a whisky while I just order a water.

"We have some delicious wines." The waiter tells me, a stupid grin plastered to his face. "I'm sure there will be something to your taste."

"I don't drink." I mutter, glancing down at my bump.

He makes his excuses to leave, his cheeks burning. He probably thought I was just on the chunkier side.

'There isn't an ounce of fat on you.' Dane links me. 'Humans are very central.'

What do you mean?" I ask curiously

They have an idea about things and can't always cope when they realise they are in the wrong.'

The waiter comes back with our drinks. He doesn't make eye contact with either of us and announces that another waiter would be over to take our order. Cóntent belongs to NovélDráma. Org

My eyes scan the crown again, I just wanted to pinpoint where this Woll was

Dane places a hand on mine. "Stop."

"I'm just...."

"I know. But tonight is about us. Don't you think if we can smell them, they can smell us? If they were that interested, they would have already come over or at least made their presence known. They are keeping their distance just as we are."

"Okay." I whisper

'I will keep an eye out." Nyx tells me.

"That goes for Nyx too." Dane muses as he takes a swig of his drink

Nyx huffs, but I knew she wouldn't just let it go.

"Okay, "I sigh. "Where is the ladies room?" I ask. "These girls are using my bladder as some kind of trampoline today."Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Dane grins and gives me directions to somewhere near the back of the restaurant. Every single step I took away from our booth, the more I felt as though I am being watched and not by Dane. I still couldn't pinpoint the location of this Wolf. The scent seemed to shift easily. and I'm also certain it's them who is watching me. Surely they wouldn't try anything in a building full of Humans?

"I would hope not." Nyx mutters. That will just bring more problems to our pack. And we could also just puncture their heart.' I feel the sting at the tip of my fingers from my claws that are already trying to come out.

'Problems we don't need' I whisper back shake my hands.

Stepping out of the bathroom, I smooth down the black dress. Mallory was right, it did hug me in ways I didn't expect and somehow, it made my bump look even bigger than it was.

I'm about to head back to my seat when I spot crimson eyes staring at me. They belonged to a face that looked just like Danes. It wasn't him though, there was no woody scent. Just an aura of power. The one we were quickly made aware of when we entered the building.

'Is that the man Eris spoke of?' Nyx asks

'She never met him, but judging by the eyes, I'm guessing so.' I keep my movements fluid, ready to walk straight past his booth.

"Do you always ignore family?" His deep voice carries and sends an involuntary shiver through me. I hadn't even made it all the way past his table.

He had a different accent to Dane, showing me that he was not raised anywhere near here.

"I'm sorry."I mutter. "I don't know who you are." I lie. It was obvious he was Silas. He is a completely identical man to Dane. Just the lack of mate scent and the accent separated them. My stomach involuntarily ties itself up in knots.

Seriously? Now the twins want me to vomit?!

He smirks. "Is that what you are going to tell my brother? Do you often deny the truth?"

Eris may not have known him, but some of the stories Cooper had told her were true.
