“Is she okay?”
“No. She shifted.” I see Neah’s eyes widen. “In fact she has shifted multiple times. She tried hurting herself. And it’s not the first time.”
“What do you mean?”
“She is covered in scars, from before she was turned. Her arms and shoulders are littered with thin silvery lines. She hides it well, but I think there is more to her past than she shares. I want to keep an eye on her. And maybe you should spend some time with her.”
“Me?”
“She called herself a monster.”
I wait for Neah to say something but she just slowly nods her head at me.
“She needs someone to look up to. Maybe you can be like a big sister to her, show her that it's not all bad.”
“Not so mean after all?” she muses as I move to the basin to grab her a glass of water.
“Is that what you think?” I cock an eyebrow at her as I hand her the glass.
She doesn’t respond. Instead she chooses to press her lips to the glass and I see a tiny curve at the corners that she is fighting to hide as she sips the water.
“There are people arriving today.” I remind her
“At least I don’t have to lie now.” She smiles with her lips but it doesn’t quite meet her eyes
“No, but you should be aware that many of these people won’t want to be here.”
“But they are contracted to do so?” Neah asks
“Yes, they also will not be afraid to make their feelings clear.”
“Right.” She sighs, “What exactly does it say in the contracts?”
“That they will protect any of my heirs at all costs.”
“And if they don’t?”
“Do you really want me to answer that?”
Wrinkles appear on her forehead. She opens her mouth to say something, but the words disappear as she makes a beeline to the toilet, thrusting the glass into my stomach on her way.
I wait for her to finish and when she looks at me, her skin has that same grey complexion as when I first met her. “Nyx thinks something is wrong.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
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....
This is stolen and as such, a lot of my story is being left out/adjusted. The true version is on Inkitt...
OMG! This is stolen and the person who has uploaded it doesn't have the authors permission! It's disgusting tou can steal someone's hard earned work! Please come find the true author on FB Taylor west pack and this one will never be finished....
I love this book! It was a sample read for an advertised app that you must pay to keep reading. I wasn't willing to pay for each chapter, so I searched and found this site. Something I'd like to see more of is time passing. We had a little during Neah’s pregnancy, and there was a recent mention that Neah had been in the pack for two years; I didn't know that much time had passed. Until I heard it had been two years, I thought all the events were happening back to back. That's why it would be nice to have a sense of the passage of time—just a thought....
Is there an update when the next chapter will be available?...
