The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 153
Damien
They ignore me and shift anyway. Though Dane continues to glare at me. There would be questions, but those can be dealt with later.
They keep up with me for all of a few minutes. They were fast but I was quicker, gliding through the trees with ease.
Tearing through the forest. I follow his scent. Hopeful, when hints of strawberries pass through. It meant he hadn’t dumped her and hidden her anywhere like he usually would. This was a game to him, a game he was going to lose.
The canopy of the trees thickens and makes the forest dark even though the sun was high in the sky. He could hide anywhere here and the Wolves would be none the wiser. Hidden in the shadows, waiting and watching, choosing his perfect moment like he was hunting his prey.
“I know you are here.” I call out. “I smell you and her.”
He doesn’t respond. I wasn’t expecting him to. Because this was exactly the way he worked. Silent and watching. Choosing his moment as though his life depended on it. And today, it might just. Could I finally kill my brother?
“Why her?” I call out into the dark forest. “Because she is my mate? Is this what this is, payback for killing the others. Pretty pathetic!”
More silence, which means he is watching me. Trying to decide if he should reveal his exact location. Part of the fun was your victim never knowing where you are.
“Have you hurt her?” I demand and I’m met with the sounds of the forest. Creatures carrying out their work, oblivious to the fight that is about to happen. I couldn’t smell any blood but that does not mean he hadn’t done something else to her.
“She doesn’t deserve this.” I speak to the trees. “She has done nothing wrong.”
My eyes move between the shadows, looking for something that is out of place. But just like the hospital, everything looked untouched. He blended in well, a little too well.
A whimper drags my attention behind me. By the time I lunge forward, they were gone. Disappearing further into the forest.
He would punish her for making his presence known.
“Stop this shit, little brother!” I growl
“We haven’t been brothers for a long time! I could just snap her pretty little neck.” His voice rattles from somewhere in front of me. “But that would be no fun.”
I charge forward again and a laugh echoes above me.
Looking up. I see him at least twenty feet up in a tree. Raven dangles from his claws like a doll. Her eyes are closed and thankfully, she doesn’t look injured, just sleeping.
“What did you do to her?”
“Just a little nitrous oxide.” A garbled laugh comes from him. “Remember Damien, you used that on me once when you thought I was becoming a risk. I never forgot. It’s amazing what people leave laying around.”
“You mean you killed for it!”
“It’s such a pity, but I could rip her precious little throat out. What do you think?” He laps his tongue over her bare neck. “Delicious!”
A feral growl comes from deep inside my chest, but he doesn’t seem to notice. It was bad enough he had her, but to violate her in front of me was a step too far
He rotates her around. “Or maybe a chunk of her thigh? Would you still want her then?”
“Let her go!” I snarl at him
“No.” He jumps to another tree, keeping his grip on my mate. “If you want her, come and get her!”
Charging up the nearest tree, I follow him closely. He laughs, jumping through the trees like an overgrown monkey. His claws are tightly wrapped around Raven so she doesn’t fall. His feet make some of the branches crack as he lands. Making it harder for me to follow his exact trail.
He stops, suddenly spinning around to look at me.“Enough of this shit. You took what was mine and now I’m taking something of yours. I know you like to suffer. So let’s see how you cope without her, brother.”
I see Raven’s eyes open just as he sinks his teeth into her leg. She lets out a blood curdling scream as he rips her flesh away, exposing her bone. Blood spurts from the hole as he laughs.
He stares at me as he slowly chews her flesh.
“I will fucking kill you, Salem!”

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....
