Raven
It had been two days since Damien had announced that the Rogue is or was his brother. He hadn’t said anything more about it, and could often be found following Neah around. Whether she wanted him to or not.
It made it impossible for me to spend time with her, when I was constantly being distracted by his scent.
And still, he had barely spoken to me. He watched me when I was present. Still keeping his distance like he was concerned I was going to attack him. The moment Eric or Dane were around, he would disappear to Mallory’s home.
‘He’s being an idiot.’ Midnight mumbles as I enter the packhouse
'Tell me about it!' Midnight was more frustrated than I was.
“She’s getting dressed.” Dane mutters to me with a frown as he strides by and towards the front door. “Damien is outside the bedroom.”
“Are you really doing this? You are letting him guard her. We don’t know anything about him!”
He stops and rolls his eyes at me. The same way he had done for years when he thought I was panicking about nothing. I wish he knew how irritating it was.
He turns around properly and rests his hands on my shoulders. “Raven, speak to him. He is your mate.”
“I don’t understand why you are being like this. I thought you of all people would hate this. Especially after everything the pack has been through.”
"Things change. He isn't here for me. He wants to protect Neah." He sighs, running a hand through his short hair
"What if he is like Devon. What if it's a trap? And you are just walking away, leaving him watching her."
“Just because he hasn’t explained the situation to you, it doesn’t mean he hasn’t explained himself to me.” Dane tuts
“Oh. He’s told you?” I ask, surprised.
“Out of respect for my position, yes. Now go and spend some much needed time with my mate before she has another wave of hormones.”
I frown, but he just shakes his head and walks out of the door.
Damien is literally stood like a soldier in front of her bedroom door. His hands are clasped together and he stares straight ahead. I try to move silently, but his head slowly turns in my direction. He does not speak.
I feel my cheeks flame, who had told him that?
“Neah is a Lycan.” My defence was weak. "She's my closest friend."
“You should hate us.” He takes a step closer and leans over me. “We are not the same as you. We are dark. We are cold. We are monsters.”
His face is inches from mine. I should be scared by his warning. But this is the closest he had been to me since his arrival and I couldn’t tell whether he wanted to fuck me or kill me. But I did know what I wanted.
“I’m not scared of you.” I whisper, refusing to move from my spot.
“You should be.”
My head slightly shakes at him.
Suddenly, he slams me into the wall, pressing his body up against mine. His lips hit mine with force. A deep longing growl rumbles inside of him as his hands slip under my top and grip my waist. He forces a knee between my thighs, pushing himself even more against me.

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 ☺️...
