The Alpha’s Contract
Chapter 0515

She doesn't say anymore on the subject and mostly talks about Luca as she finishes my hair. My dark hair and the black dress seem to make my blue eyes pop even more. "Do you want makeup?"

"No." I scoff and she laughs. She had asked me so many times. Waiting for the day that I would agree, that I think it had just become a habit of hers.

Dane is waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. He was all in black too. A crisp black shirt, black jeans and black boots. It makes him look like a mystery. A man with many secrets of his own. He radiated Alpha and yet his crimson eyes don't leave me as I make my way down.

"Whatever you are comfortable in." He tells me as I ask him if it was a fancy date or not. His crimson eyes drift down, taking in every inch of me as Mallory comes forward with a pair of pristine white platform trainers.

"Somewhere in the middle." She smiles at me as Dane pulls me in against him. His nose settles in the crook of my neck as he inhales my scent.

"Where are we going?" I whisper, as his lips leave little sparks across my flesh.

"Let's see where we end up." He mutters as he peels himself away.

He lets me put on the trainers and then with his hand pressed on the small of my back, he guides me to the passenger side of the black car that sits out front.

As I take the seat, his lips press against mine and he pulls the seatbelt around me. The tingle of his lips lingers. I wasn't sure if it was just our bond, or the excitement of actually doing something other than pack stuff. We pass Blairs old house as we head to the city. It had been Cooper's hideout, but now it sits abandoned and like no one had lived there for years.

"Where are we going?" I ask again

"I'm taking you to a restaurant. One that I haven't been to for a long time."

"You've been there before?"

He nods. "You remember Madame Curie, it's the place where I would meet with her, and they also do excellent food."

He rests his hand on my thigh. His thumb moves back and forth across the black dress covering my leg and I already knew he was desperate to get it off of me. The question is, how long could I make him wait?

As we pull up, some kind of worker opens my door. A Human. Dane gets out and rushes round the car. "I should have warned you. It's just valet parking." He looks at the Human. "She's getting used to a different kind of life." The guy bobs his head."Yes sir."

My interactions with Humans were still limited. I had barely met any and the ones I had, have either been turned into Lycans, Or they were Lycans that lost their abilities.

Danes voice settles in my head, 'I should warn you, if you haven't already scented it, there are a lot more Humans here than there used to be.'

T

'Okay.' I whisper back as Dane tells another Human that we have a reservation.

"Of course sir, right this way." The Human opens the door and out of all the people here, I could tell there were no other Lycans. A few Wolves, but at least eighty percent were Human.

We are led to a booth where Dane gestures for me to sit down first. As I slip into my seat, I couldn't help but look around at the crowd. The majority may be Human, yet there was someone here with power and it wasn't Dane.
