The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 143
“Damien is a good guy. He has a dark side like all of us Lycans. It’s funny, it's like we could only become a Lycan if we had a bad past.” She half smiles. “Fucked up, right?”
“You really believe that?”
“I saw the girl’s arms. Whats her name, Jess? Kids don’t cut themselves like that unless there is some seriously bad shit going on.”
“And you?”
“I watched my father stab my mother over and over in a frenzied attack. After I attacked your friend, all I could see was my father in me. I had become exactly like him. And that is exactly what Cassandra wanted, what she hoped for.”
She ruffles up her blonde hair. “Cassandra never chose normal, happy people. She always chose someone with issues. People who would perform the cruellest acts.”
I feel my stomach drop. What was Damien’s past? Why had she chosen him?
“And Damien?” I was almost afraid to ask
“It’s something he never talks about.”
“Never?”
“Never. I’m sorry, that’s not the answer you were looking for.”
I stand up to leave and glance back over my shoulder at her. “You should tell Dane and Neah what you told me.”
She snorts. “You think that will make Neah think differently of me?”
“She has a dark past too. The only difference is, she is a pure blood. The last living one. She has a hard time trusting people after her history was built on lies.”
‘Well that was not what I was expecting!’ Midnight tells me as we make our way to the pack house.
Neah and Dane were no longer outside arguing and were most likely making up when she should be resting, but Jenson is sat out front. Maybe he could give me some advice.
“What were you doing at Mallory’s?” He asks as I drop down in a seat next to him.
“I’m mated to a Lycan too.”
I didn’t have to look at him to know he was staring at me.
“On you, maybe.” I laugh
“It's weird right? All three of us being mated to Lycans?” He continues, ignoring my comment.
“The funny thing is, I said the same thing to Neah. If Jess and Damien were never turned, we would never have been mated to them. Does that mean we would have been destined to be mateless for the rest of our lives? Were we always supposed to be mated to Lycans?”
Jenson shrugs his shoulders at me. “You know me, I would have been happy without a mate.”
I roll my eyes at my brother. “How you are still alive is beyond me!”
He rises to his feet, patting me on the back. “Love you too, sis!”
Jenson strolls off, leaving me sitting alone. Sometimes I was jealous of my twin's carefree attitude. Rarely did things phase him. Even when he was kicked out, he ended up taking it in his stride.
I sit watching the pack for some time. They move around, completely oblivious to me. I was pretty certain that if Dane wasn’t my brother, they probably wouldn’t even know of my existence.

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....
