The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 161
But as I stood here looking at all the men, knowing how messed up all this is. I knew one thing for certain, we were all tied together because of Neah. All of us.
I stare at the beast that was once Salem. I don’t hear the voice I know. I don’t smell his scent. I just see an angry beast. Was I always supposed to be rejected by him? Was this the plan for me? Was I always supposed to have Damien come into my life?
My eyes shift from Salem to Damien
“Are you okay?” Damien whispers to me with a frown
“Yes.” I mutter. “The smell is a bit much, I just need some air.”
‘Liar’ Midnight mumbles
Damien starts to follow me. I shake my head at him. “Stay, help Dane get answers. I’ve heard all I need to hear. I will just be outside.”
His frown deepens, but lets me go. I feel his eyes burning into the back of my as I hobble away on the crutches.
I drop on the grass outside, rubbing my bandaged thigh before laying back under the warm evening sun. I had been so angry at Salem for so long, but in there, standing in front of him. I felt nothing for the man I once loved.
I had spent so long trying to get over him when in reality, there was nothing for me to get over. He had made his choice.
I feel someone’s weight drop on the grass next to me.
“Are you okay?” Klaus asks.
“Just questioning a few things.”
“The Moon Goddess?” He asks curiously.
I prop myself up on my elbows and tilt my head to one side. “How did you know?”
“I would too, if I were in your shoes. And because I did.”
“Moonshine wanted a contract long before they asked for it. They had already started turning humans at that point. All because Roan discovered Neah when she was a pup.” I tell him
He nods his head at me.“I had thought that was the case. Have you ever considered that this is what the Moon Goddess’s plan was. To try and right something that Neah’s family did to her? To give her a better life?” He pauses and puts his hands behind his head, staring up at the blue sky.
“I’ve had the same questions as you, Raven. The Moon Goddess can’t control what we do with our lives, that’s freewill, but she can put things in our path and alter our journeys. She can test us. But look at me, my parents bound me once and if Dane hadn’t brought me here, I would be living the same shitty life. She put Dane in my path and I’ve never once regretted it.”
“Thanks Klaus.” I smile at him. “You have always been good at reassuring my mind when Midnight can’t.”
He winks at me and gets to his feet. “Glad I could be of some help. Do you want some help getting up?”
“No, I’m just going to lie here and enjoy the evening sun a little longer.”

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....
This is stolen and as such, a lot of my story is being left out/adjusted. The true version is on Inkitt...
OMG! This is stolen and the person who has uploaded it doesn't have the authors permission! It's disgusting tou can steal someone's hard earned work! Please come find the true author on FB Taylor west pack and this one will never be finished....
I love this book! It was a sample read for an advertised app that you must pay to keep reading. I wasn't willing to pay for each chapter, so I searched and found this site. Something I'd like to see more of is time passing. We had a little during Neah’s pregnancy, and there was a recent mention that Neah had been in the pack for two years; I didn't know that much time had passed. Until I heard it had been two years, I thought all the events were happening back to back. That's why it would be nice to have a sense of the passage of time—just a thought....
Is there an update when the next chapter will be available?...
