“What should I do?” I was still so used to everyone having the answers.
“Neah, since you have been here, I have watched you gain confidence, little by little. You couldn’t even step out in the snow.” She laughs about it. “You killed a man the other day. And now, you have just made your way here from the pack house, alone. You don’t need me to answer your question. You already know the answer.”
My shoulders drop. “Do you think we can figure this out?”
“My brother hasn’t let anything stop him before. If you have truly made up your mind. He will find a way. Plus Jenson is very skilled in the art of war. It might be worth speaking to him, he might be able to give you some advice.”
“Alpha Dane doesn’t want me to be alone with him.”
She smiles and gestures around the empty hospital. “I can come.”
She finds out where he is and quickly writes out a note telling people to link her if they need her and sticks it to the table.
“Where is he?” He had left when we were at Beta Eric’s home talking to Jess.
“On duty.”
I was definitely not supposed to be going in the forest without Alpha Dane.
We are quiet as we slip into the forest. Raven ensures we are nowhere near the boundaries as we make our way through the trees and into the darkest parts of the forest. I had asked Nyx to keep Alpha Dane out of my head too. Just for now, so that I could think.
The scents were scattered among the trees, making it difficult to pick out individual people. The pack standing guard would change places constantly to help try and keep them alert and to confuse any of those that break through.
“Does Dane know that you are this far out?” Jenson asks as he drops down from a tree, landing in front of us.
“Why the hell are you up a tree?” Raven snaps.
“Taking a leaf out of Devon’s book. If that was even his name. How can I help you?”
His dark eyes hover on me and it sends a shiver down my spine. It always made me nervous and in the moment, I was grateful that I was not alone with him.
“You wanted to speak to me?” He mutters, doing a quick scan of the grounds.
“Have… have you figured out a way of dealing with them?”
“Almost. Why? Do you have some information that could help?”
‘Don’t tell him.’ Nyx mutters
“I…I just want it to be over.” I see Raven give me an odd look. Thankfully she swallows her words.
“You came out here to ask me that?” He cocks an eyebrow at us. “You know we are all out here for you. My people are working their asses off to make sure no one gets in. They are so tired that they are starting to make mistakes.”
“I don’t…I don’t understand.”
“Devon got in your head, Neah. But what he was doing was finding the lengths you will go to, to ignore the Alpha blood. It was a game, a test. I’ve seen it before. You are one of a kind, Neah. They know that and we know that too.”
“You think she should accept her role?” Raven asks
“That isn’t for me to decide, what I am saying is if she does, it can work in our favour.”
“You want me to link them?”
“Oh no. I think it will piss Cassandra off. I think it will draw the bitch and the other fuckers out, because whether they like it or not, they will know who the Alpha is and that’s what I’m counting on. no need for linking them.”
“Plan B.” Raven mutters.
“Plan B.” Jenson confirms
He had been hoping for this all along. “What’s…what’s plan B?”
Jenson smiles at me. “You.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
Execcelent! Loved it!...
What about 80? I can only go up to 79...
I am clearly coming late to this book …me definitely one of the more well written ones. I feel like Im reading a series though … like I just finished reading two books and now we are off onto another storyline. Getting used to “splutter” instead of “sputter” as a word, and still trying to work out the “Lycan” logic as Blairs explanation doesn’t really make sense given the initial explanation of how Lycans came to be … I do wish these were in physical form. I do love to flip back and forth on pages to reread previous chapters. So much arder on these apps....
I love this book. I wish there were more chapters. I read this all in a week. I know life outside of writing is more important. I will just sit and wait for more to be released. I will support you always Taylor. Thank you for sharing your talents....
Ooh and thanks to the website techs ☺️...
Whether it's pirated or not doesn't really concern me,, when are we getting the final chapters 🥹...
EclecticCelt sounds like your got massive issues because you can't understand something straightforward...
The last this book was updated was December 2024 not 3 years like someone else claimed. It can't be 3 years when the author started the story in Jan 2024. Now the story can be found on Inkitt...
I have a question. I understand this book is pirated with left out parts or adjusted. Is this version here ever going to be finished. I just want to know what happens....
I recently learned that this story is pirated. To read it legally, go to inkitt.com or the Inkitt app and search for Taylor West. FYI, the Facebook group is highly cliquish, so be warned....
