“He rejected me.” I splutter.
“I am aware. A good job too.” He takes the seat next to the bed, watching me. “It would have made it harder for me to find you.”
“Is he dead?” I sigh, why did this man make me feel so irrational so easily?
“No. He is in the dungeons though. Alpha Neah is trying to get more information out of him or break him. I'm not really sure. I just know she has banned me from going down there.”
“She shouldn’t be alone with him and she doesn’t like to be called Alpha.” I mutter
He cocks a brow at me. “She is more than capable of handling herself. She took a chunk out of his leg in payment for what he did to you.”
That made me feel a little better.
“You can’t kill him, can you? You want to, you really want to. I can see it in your eyes, but you can’t bring yourself to do it because he is your brother.”
Damien doesn’t answer me, he just snorts and shakes his head.
“You talked.” I mutter, remembering hearing him speak as a Lycan.
“Yes.”
“How? You are not like him.”
“I was once.” My hands clench the blankets and his eyes move down to them. “I won’t hurt you.”
“I’m not scared. I’m frustrated.” I sigh “I don’t….. Dane said you told him that there was no coming back from being like that.”
“I found a way.” He doesn’t explain any further
“You don’t want to tell me, do you?” I screw up my face as another wave of pain shoots through my thigh. This was going to be a long healing process.
Neah opens the door. She shoots Damien a look of disgust and then smiles at me. I notice how she is rubbing her small bump. Something she didn’t have the last time I saw her. How long had I been out for?
“She thinks I put you in danger.” Damien makes sure Neah hears him before stepping outside of the room. I see that he doesn’t leave though, standing guard as Neah closes the door.
“He didn’t know.” I mutter. I wasn’t even sure what I was trying to defend. “He didn’t know it would come for me. I didn't know that Salem was a... a Lycan!"
“He should have told us. He should have explained to you what he is.”
“Was.” I mutter. “But that’s not what’s annoying you, is it?”
Neah sits in the chair. “Eric wasn’t going to tell me.” She looks at my confused face. “When the Rogue took you, Eric was guarding me. Dane wanted me to stay put. If I hadn’t gone, you could be dead right now.”
“But I’m alive.”

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 ☺️...
