The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145
I could tell what Henry was thinking at a glance.

He had specially held a banquet while Jackson was in town, knowing his friend would come. There was no way he wasn’t trying to mate his sister off to the Alpha of the Sterling pack. Henry might not be the Alpha of the Wilton pack yet, but he was certainly thinking like it.
However, he hadn’t expected Jackson to bring a female companion. Naturally, he wasn’t pleased by my presence, and it showed on his face before he could rein his wolf in.
However, as a well-educated man, he had shown me respect, so I responded in kind.
I shook his hand and smiled. “Hello. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Wilton.”
Only then did Henry let go of my hand and look at Jackson as if I wasn’t there. “It’s been a long time. Let’s go have a drink and catch up.”
It appeared that Jackson was worried to go anywhere without me when he looked over and said, “Come in with me.”
I glanced at Henry, who looked unhappy that Jackson had invited me along, so I tactfully refused. “I’m a little hungry. I’d love to eat something first.”

Before Jackson could say anything, Henry stopped a servant. “Take Ms. Palmer to eat something. Don’t neglect her.”
The maid quickly nodded and said to me, “Ms. Palmer, please come with me.”
Jackson looked back and forth between Henry and me, then said, “Don’t walk around. Wait for me to come back.”
I nodded and followed the maid to the dining area.
A dazzling array of food was placed on rows of long tables.
I couldn’t digest anything very well anymore, and I struggled to eat anything at all, but I managed to have a bit of tomato soup served in small drinking bowls.
While standing quietly in the dining area with my soup and looking out the window, I saw several luxury cars arrive.
A chauffeur got out of the car first, opened the door, and held it open for whomever was in the back seat.
Under warm evening light, a man in a tailored black suit got out and stood before the car door with his hands in his pockets.
His face was chiseled, his jaw strong, his features…perfection.
He looked at people indifferently.
And as soon as he walked into the manor, everyone who was

anyone rushed over to him.
Even Ray Wilton, the old Alpha of the Wilton pack, who had not shown up for a long time, rushed over in a hurry.
