“No!” Jenson snaps. “She wouldn’t do something like that. She wouldn’t put her own life in danger! She just turned sixteen.”
“Maybe, maybe not. She was probably lured into freeing him.” Damien shrugs his shoulders
“Is this where you tell us that he has some sort of ability to attract people?” I ask
“How do you think they killed people in that town so easily? None of the humans left. Bodies started turning up in all places. Most people would leave if that started happening, but they stayed. The humans practically walked to their death. It was only once the town was wiped out that I started bringing them food.” Damien shakes his head but his eyes are on my sister. “But she would have had to have been down there already.”
“Stop talking about her! JUST STOP!” Jenson yells out. “She is still here.”
Raven hobbles over to him using the crutches. “Jenson, I’m really sorry, but she’s gone. We can’t bring her back.”
Jenson growls at Raven and pushes her over. Sweeping up Jess’s bloody body, he holds her to his chest. He charges out of the hospital as Damien helps Raven get back on her feet.
“We should go after him.” She whimpers, her face creases up from the pain in her leg.
“He needs space. He has just lost his mate.”
“But he….”
“Raven, give him space.”
“You can’t do anything for him.” Damien speaks softly to her. “This is something he has to deal with.”
She slowly nods her head as he wraps an arm around her shoulders. I see her shrug him off with a frown.
“What does he look like in human form?” I ask. I had never had a chance to meet Salem before he rejected my sister.
“Well, I don’t know now. He used to have chestnut eyes, but those eyes that I saw were like black holes.” Raven whispers. “His hair matched his eyes.” A smile creeps up on her lips as she recalls him.
“A tattoo on his neck.” Damien adds
“Like yours?”
He nods. “A family thing.”
“About six feet tall. A wide smile.”
Damien growls as she continues to describe him to us. Again as he tries to reach for her shoulder she moves out of the way. The latest bit of news about luring humans to their death had clearly upset her.
Sending out a link to the entire pack. I remind them that the only guests we have in the pack are Damien and Mallory. Anyone else was to be taken out on sight.
“Roan?”
I shake my head.
“How?”
I tell her our theory. Still not mentioning Jess.
“I can find him.” she mutters, brushing the crumbs from her hands.
“No. He will be smarter this time. Damien is certain of it."
She shuffles on the chair, her brow knitting together. “How did he get out? He can barely walk, if he can even walk at all.”
“We have reason to believe Jess let him out.”
“No. She wouldn’t… she….” She trails off as her blue eyes find mine. “She’s dead isn’t she?”

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 ☺️...
Whether it's pirated or not doesn't really concern me,, when are we getting the final chapters 🥹...
