The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 123
Neah
My heart is pumping. The adrenaline that’s coursing through my body had crept up like a slow burning fire. Igniting something deep within me. I felt powerful and all it took was Jess.
When I had found Jess, she was already trying to get inside a closet. Her words blur into one another as my own panic seeped in. Tears flooded her face quicker than she could wipe them away.
I did what Dane asked me to do, to keep her here. Yet I couldn’t help but peek over the window ledge. I had to see what was happening.
The clapping was weird. The Lycans slamming their claws together while staring straight at the Wolves.
‘This is all kinds of fucked up.’ Nyx mutters
‘What are they doing?’
She shrugs her shoulders at me.
I wanted to link Dane. Desperate for him to tell me what was happening but all I could hear was Jess, crying in the closet.
Pulling the closet open, I offer a weak smile. “They are not here for you. They are here for me.”
Her arms are holding her legs to her chest, just like the way I did. It was funny, why did we try to make ourselves as small as possible in a time of crisis?
“They….the woman, the one that brought me here, Cassandra, wants me to bring you to them.”
She refuses to look at me.
“Is that why you are here? Is that why you tried hiding?” I try to keep the anger out my voice
Jess shakes her head and then taps her temple. “Here, I hear her. It was like a whisper at first and now…..” Her soft blue eyes lock with mine. “Now it’s a demand.”
“A demand?”
Her head bobs up and down, “She keeps saying. I am your maker, you will obey me!”
Control, just what Cassandra has always loved and wanted.
“You are going to try and hand me over?” I ask quietly, realising why they had chosen to change a child.
“I…I don’t want to.” She whispers
I sigh, “You can’t fight an order. It’s ingrained in us to obey those above us.”
My bare feet hit the grass. Jess stands a little behind me as though she is walking me out. She was trying so hard to hold it together, just like I was. It wouldn’t have to be for long, just long enough to make Cassandra believe that she was getting what she wanted.
I was desperate to look at Dane, but I knew I would break the moment we locked eyes. I had asked Nyx to keep him out of my head, just temporarily while I try to put an end to all this shit.
Two words still got through. “Don’t shift.” Shifting was not the plan.
Cheers erupt from the Lycans, if you could call it that. It was more like roars and howls of satisfaction. They didn't even have me in their grasp and yet they were celebrating.
As they drop down to silence. Cassandra yells, “You will bring her to me!”
Jess stares through the rows of Wolves. Like me, she was barely tall enough to see. Slowly she reaches a hand out to me, locking it with mine. “You may be my maker, but you are not my Alpha.”
I feel my heart race. And still, I couldn’t believe she was doing this.
“You are a stupid little girl. You know nothing of our world.”
“I know enough to know who is wrong!” Jess squeezes my hand as she stares out in front of her. Her eyes are dark in the same way as Dane said mine become. She was close to shifting.
“Bring her to me!” She yells and stomps her foot.

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....
