The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 132
*Trigger Warning- Talks of miscarriage*
Neah
My feet carry me forward as I run. I could hear the pack calling out to me. Telling me they could help me. Telling me that Dane would be fine. He wasn’t fine. I could feel it. The pain grew stronger by the second, tearing at my heart as I moved.
‘What’s the plan?’ Nyx asks.
‘I have to find him!’ I fight back the tears
‘Neah, he left hours ago. We won’t find him on foot.’
‘I have to try.’ I break through the trees, coming to a stop at the boundary. I hadn't crossed it alone before. And all that panic I had felt months ago about stepping out into the snow was back.
“NEAH, PLEASE STOP!” Eric calls out from somewhere behind me. “Dane is alive.”
I turn to see him creeping through the trees, his eyes on the ground as he frowns. The pain moves from my heart down into my abdomen.
“You are lying.” A tear leaks from my eye and trickles down over my cheek. “I feel it.” I pat my chest. "He is dead, isn't he!?"
‘Somethings wrong.’ Nyx murmurs
“Dane is alive." Eric calls out. You were right, he wasn't. He was in a car accident. Impaled by glass, but it missed his heart. Jenson saved him” He slowly steps towards me. “I promise you, Neah. Our Alpha is alive, but right now, we need to get you to the hospital.”
“For Dane?” I whisper
“No. We need to get you checked out."
"I need to see Dane."
"I know, but right now, he is miles away and you are important.
The pain spreads further down into my hips and my thighs. It’s only then that I pick up the rusty iron smell. My eyes find the spots of blood on the grass and fallen leaves. It leads straight towards me.
“Let me help.” Eric whispers, holding a hand out to me.
He catches me just before I hit the floor. Swooping me up and carrying me in his arms with ease as he runs through the forest.
Pain radiates through me. “Am I losing them?”
Eric doesn’t answer me as he powers on and I could feel Nyx pacing in my mind. Her own worry echoing with mine.
“I killed my pups didn’t I?” I mutter to Eric
He still doesn’t answer me, but I feel him squeeze me closer to his chest, like Dane would do as my tears fall more freely.
Eric barrels us through the hospital.
“In here?” Raven shouts out.
The moment he places me on the bed, Raven is pulling up my top and scanning me.
“Well?” Eric demands
“Two heartbeats.” Raven mutters, “Two strong heartbeats.”
“Then why is she bleeding?” Eric demands
“If I knew that, I wouldn’t be running tests, would I!”
“Are you sure they are okay?” I whisper, afraid to look at the screen she was showing me.
She smiles, “They seem perfect.”
She runs some other tests, but can’t find a reason as to what caused the bleeding. In the end she tells me to go on bedrest for a few days and then she will recheck me.
“I can’t do that. Jess is missing. Dane was injured. I’ve still got Roan to deal with. And what about this stupid party tomorrow?”
“Not a fan of parties?” Raven tries to break the tension.
I glare at her, she knew I had never been to a party.
“Just take it easy between then and now. If the pain gets worse, you need to tell me. But I will stick by your side at the party. If something is wrong. I will be able to help you.”
“What’s wrong with Eric?” I mutter. He was outside the room, pacing. His arms folded up across his chest as he moved back and forth. His eyes were glazed as he links someone.
“He’s checking in with Dane.” Raven gives me a weak smile.
“She was at Moonshine. Not for long. Maybe a couple of months.”
“As a slave?” Raven queries.
I shake my head, “She was their pet.”
“Mallory?” Eric sits in the chair by my bed.
“She appeared one day. Cassandra brought her into the house. She was full of smiles, laughter and a few days later, something changed. She became something else, like a darkness gradually took over her.” I pause because it reminded me of me. The girl who was now happy to rip out hearts like they were nothing.
“What do you mean?” Raven asks quietly.
“She joined in with them.”
“You mean, she hurt you?” Eric presses.
I nod, remembering the last brutal incident before I was bound for the final time. “She had taken hold of my shoulders and repeatedly smashed my head into the concrete wall of the basement. Blood splattered all over the walls and floor until I lost consciousness. I never saw her again after that.”
Eric and Raven were both staring at each other
“Surely it can’t be the same one?” Eric mutters to Raven.
“How long ago was this?” Raven asks
“When I was seventeen, almost eighteen.”
“So five years ago. It can’t be the same one.”
Eric sighs, “What does she look like? I can get Dane to confirm.”
“Blonde, uh brown eyes. She had a scar, right here." I touch my face, "just above her lip.”
“I will be right back.” Eric strides out the door.
“Dane can handle himself.” Raven weakly smiles at me. “And if it is her, she might have changed. Five years is a long time.”
“Or she might have so much rage bottled up inside her that she takes him out the moment she gets a chance.”

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....
