The Alpha’s Contract
Chapter 0510

"What is wrong with you?" I ask Blair.

She scowls at me. "What is that supposed to mean?" "It's a genuine question, what do you not understand?" "Why does she get a free pass?"

"Why is it a free pass? You asked why you still have to be watched. Don't you think she is being watched too? Damien, Dane, me, Mallory, Eric. Everywhere she moves she is just as watched as you. Maybe even more while you get to stay under the watchful eye of your step father."

"I thought you were changing, Blair. You told the truth about Kade. You've stuck to the work you have been requested to do. Even Maddie has said good things about you. But this seems like jealousy is seeping back in again. You don't know the full story, but you jump to conclusions, just like before. If I were you, I would listen to Ryken. And right now, you better go before I hurl my breakfast all over you."

"Let's go!" Ryken orders. As they start walking away, Ryken links me to apologise for her.

'Don't let her slip back into her old ways' I mutter back.

He looks over his shoulder and nods his head.

"Thank you." Samara whispers. "You didn't have to do that."

"She needed to be reminded that she always has a need to jump to conclusions without knowing the whole truth."

"She was the same yesterday."

"You saw her yesterday?" Damien asks.

"Maddie bought some clothes around to the house. She thought I might replace something to fit because we are similar sizes." She shrugs her shoulders. "Blair was with her."

"You should have said something." Damien replies

She looks at him and her cheeks turn pink. "I was a little distracted." She grins at him. "Blair just wanted to remind me that I had I betrayed her. And I get it, I did. So I don't expect her to forgive me."

'Totally not what I thought she was going to say.' Nyx murmurs. 'I half expected her to beg us to make Blair stop. Thought she might have played the cousin card.'

"Try to keep your distance from her." Dane tells her. "As you can see, we have a lot of people in this pack, both Wolves and Lycans. Not everyone gets along. That's bound to happen."

"I will try my best." She smiles at him. As my stomach announces that it needs more food. How it was possible to feel sick yet hungry, baffles me.

"And that's enough excitement for you." Dane tells me as slides his arms around my hips. His hands settle on my belly as I roll my eyes. I knew he was just being extra cautious but I wasn't about to break into a million pieces. "Damien?" I ask with a frown, "Can you smell them yet?" I point to my belly.

"Yes."

"And?"

"It's still too early to confirm whether they are Wolves or Lycans."

I let out a heavy sigh. Deep down I knew it was too early. I was at least another two months along before he could scent them last time.

"But I'm pretty certain of the gender." He smiles at me.

Samara is staring at him in confusion. They couldn't have talked about his past yet, or maybe they hadn't had time.

"I thought it was too early, they wouldn't have developed yet, would they?"

"Sometimes the scent is too muddled, boys growing, girls growing, especially twins. Sometimes it can take a bit of growth to become clear. But baby girls on their own, they tend to have a stronger sweeter scent that has already developed with no plan of changing."
