I swing my legs over the bed and push myself up. It took more effort than I expected but as soon as I am up, I made my way out into the hallway. Now I had thought about food, I realised I was starving.
Heading towards the stairs, my legs give out from under me, plummeting me down each step. My head hits something and everything goes dark.
******
“Ow!” I mutter, stretching myself out. My hand automatically goes between my thighs. No blood, thank fuck for that. These pups were stronger than expected.
There’s a knock on the front door.
“Come in.” I mutter from the floor.
“Shit. Are you alright?”
Unfamiliar dark eyes appear and a hand slides into mine, helping me up.
“You must be Damien?” I mutter, noticing his neck tattoos while rubbing the back of my head. If I had a wound, it would have probably healed by now anyway.
“I am, though this was not the way I intended on introducing myself. You should get checked out.”
“I’m fine.”
“You are pregnant though. I can smell it.”
“I will be fine.” I spit out the final word
He nods his head at me as I sit on the bottom step. “You may think so, but you should still get yourself looked at. You are the female Alpha.”
I roll my eyes at him. “Is that why you are here? You are looking for someone to lead you?”
“I’m looking for the only person that can lead us.” His dark stare is intense. If I didn’t know better, I would say he had learned it from Dane. But something tells me it was the way he always looked at things, even when he was human. “And I want to offer you my protection.”
Nyx snorts and I almost do too. But his face is serious. “From what?”
“Whatever is coming.”
“What is coming?” I ask
His face is unreadable, but he still follows me inside.
“Ne….” Raven’s voice fades off to a squeak as she focuses on the man who is her mate.
“I fell down the stairs.” I mutter and explain to her about the pain. She beckons me in for a scan and Damien follows. He stands in the doorway watching, but now and again, his dark eyes would move to Raven. Raven tried her best not to look at him, so much so that beads of sweat were forming on her brow.
The heartbeats of the twins flood the room just as Dane comes charging in. He pushes past Damien with a frown and presses his lips to mine. “Sorry, we were cutting Roan’s fingers off. Are you okay?”
I nod.
"Tell Nyx to stop blocking me."
“She needs to rest.” Raven snaps at him “Both boys' heartbeats are strong. But you must rest. It is still a risky pregnancy.” Raven warns me. “And I don’t want to confine you to the bed just yet.”
“Out of curiosity, can you tell what they are?” It was Damien’s first words to her. “Wolves or Lycans?”
“No.” Her answer is far more abrupt than usual. Was she annoyed with him?

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....
