Neah
“Twins?”
“Yep.” Raven smiles. “Definitely.” She presses the little wand harder against my stomach as I stare up at the ceiling.
Danes' fingers curl around mine. I knew he was happy. I could feel it vibrating off of him.
‘Twins?’ I mutter to Nyx, hoping that she would understand my fear. I could barely look after myself let alone two pups.
‘Look at him!’ She mutters
My eyes drift to Dane. He holds the small monitor in his free hand as Raven points out the growing pups. The biggest grin is plastered on his face and his crimson eyes are bright.
‘He’s happy.’ Nyx murmurs. ‘We are not in this alone.’
‘How? My body has been through so much. I can’t be six weeks.’ I try to add up the dates in my head, but so much has happened since my first period that I am all turned around.
Nyx doesn’t say anything.
‘Did you know?’
Silence.
‘Nyx?’
‘The forest.’ she mutters quietly ‘and our pups develop quicker.’
‘Lycans, I’m carrying Lycans?’ As much as that was who I am, I wanted nothing to do with them.
‘It’s too early to tell. But there is every ch……’
“NO!” I climb off the bed, pulling my hand from Danes. Both Raven and Dane stare at me like I’m mad.
“Neah?” he tries to reach my wrist and I rip it out of reach.
“I need to think!” I snap a little harder than I intended as I barge past them.
Nyx starts trying to talk to me
“Shut up!”
Raven’s dark eyes are like saucers as they flash between me and Dane.
“Just, just give me some time.” I mutter, backing out the room.
“Neah?” Raven calls after me. I hear Dane telling her to let me go. To give me what I had asked for.
“Hey, you okay?” Klaus asks as I fly through the doors that led back out onto the grounds
“I need to be alone. And I… I thought you were with Jess?”
“Eric’s at the house.”
“Right.” I huff
“I have Trey and Cassandra coming for me with who knows how many Lycans. Dane will be having guests arriving and….and…..”
“It’s too much?”
I nod my head, closing my eyes to fight the tears that were trying to leak out.
“For everything that those bastards have done to me, they don’t deserve to live. But now, I might be bringing more into the world.”
"And that scares you?"
I nod
“They will be raised by you.” He gives me another small smile. “That counts for something.”
I knew the words were supposed to be reassuring, yet they plant more doubt in my mind.
Raised by me, it felt like some sort of universal joke.
I see Eric come out of the pack house, his hands firmly planted on Jess’s shoulders. He briefly looks around. Spotting me, he pushes Jess in our direction.
Her eyes are low as they come to a stop in front of us. I was too busy staring at Jess’s hair to listen to the men. She had taken a pair of scissors to it, and badly.
Her eyes catch mine. “I couldn’t get the blood out.”
I was about to tell her I could fix it. I had learned to cut my own hair over the years, but Eric interrupts us to tell me that Danes guests had arrived.
Dane comes out of the hospital with force. Making the door ricochet against the brick wall. It makes Jess jump and her hand grabs mine. I could hear her heart beating so hard that it hummed.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
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 ☺️...
