“He beat you?” I finish her sentence
She only moves her head slightly, but she confirms my question.
“Who?”
“Beta Kyle.” She whispers
‘But she’s ours now, right?’ Aero grumbles in a panic
‘Let me finish!” I snap at him.
“How did you know that prick was your mate?” I study her face.
“I don’t know. I could smell him.” she screws her face up. “He was the first person I scented since I was a kid. I don’t know how or why. But he was so angry. So disgusted.” Neah hugs herself as she looks up at the lights in the ceiling. “He hated me and I paid for it.”
‘She could scent him?’ Aero mutters. ‘How if she was bound?’
‘I’m getting to that if you will just be quiet for five minutes.’
“How old were you?”
“It was my eighteenth.” She keeps her voice quiet and sighs.
“And he was the one who did that to you?”
She looks at her stomach and shakes her head. “Luna Cassandra…...I think” She pauses, pressing her pink lips into a thin line. “Was it badly infected?”
“You don’t need to worry about it anymore. The problem has been dealt with. It will heal properly this time.”
Rising to my feet, I was about to tell her to get some rest. But I couldn’t help myself. “Why could you scent him?”
“I don’t know. I swear.” She shakes her head. “They bound me for a second time after that. I haven’t been able to heal since.”
I wanted to push for more answers, but I could see she was exhausted even after all the rest she has had.
“Get some sleep. I will be back in the morning.”
“Yes.” I watch her as she pushes herself up on the bed, ignoring her pain and I wondered how many times she had to do that while living in Moonshine. I wondered if she had ever gotten a break. If Trey and the others just let her be for a single night.
Neah pulls her top up, studying her own stitches with a frown. “She made the wound bigger.” She mumbles.
“Raven had too. At some point between Cassandra injuring you and me bringing you here. Kyle, blood tied himself to you.”
“He what?” She ask confused. She really didn't know much about our kind at all.
“Blood tie. It can be a mate thing. It doesn’t have to be.”
“I…. I accepted. H…h….he wanted me to accept the rejection. I did.” She stutters
“I think because you were still bound to a certain degree, that the rejection didn’t work properly. Or at least not how it should.”
‘She’s our mate!’ Aero roars inside of my head. ‘He’s not having her. I won’t let him. I will kill the entire Moonshine pack if it means that she gets to stay with us!’
‘Trust me, there is no way she is going back to them.’

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 ☺️...
