Neah
“Where did he take her?” I demand as I step out through the back door into the pitch black of night. I had no idea what time it was, but the adrenaline was pumping through me anyway. Several guards move closer, yet keep their attention on the surrounding area.
“I don’t know.” Dane mutters back, grabbing my wrist to stop me. “Just let him be, there is nothing you can do.”
“Maybe I can save her….”
“Neah she isn’t dying, she isn’t hanging on to life by a strand. She is dead. Salem tore her heart out.”
My heart plummets. A part of me had hoped he was wrong, that Jenson had taken Jess to find a way to help her. “He took…. He took her heart?”
“Among slicing her up pretty bad.”
I feel Nyx’s sorrow along with my own. Jess was just a kid. She was family. She was like me. She had helped me see what I could do.
“Why?” A single tear rolls down my cheek. I don’t even try to fight the flood that's about to come. I’m so angry. “Why would he do that to her?”
“I don’t know. I thought his end game was to get at Damien, but he has nothing to do with Jess.”
“You said she let him out.”
“According to Roan.”
‘We can speak to him!’ Nyx murmurs. ‘We need to know why Jess was down there!’
I nod my head in agreement and repeat the words to Dane.
She removes her arms and if she was upright, all the organs of her abdomen would have fallen out.
Raven comes crashing in through the kitchen door, almost tripping over her own crutches. Her dark hair is stuck out everywhere and I see a mark similar to mine on her neck, just peeking out of the tee. She had finally let him claim her.
Damien is right behind her. He grabs Mallory’s hand, holding it against his own chest. “Hold on. Just hold on.” His dark eyes flicker to me. “Don’t let her die. She doesn’t deserve this.”
It took me far too long to realise that Raven was waiting for me to say something. To give her the go ahead to save another Lycan because technically, Dane wasn’t their leader. I was. But was I cruel enough to say no after what she did to me? Was I cruel enough to let her suffer a long and painful death?
Nyx was oddly quiet too.
“Save her.” Dane mutters before I get a chance to make my decision. “Neah is my mate, we both lead this pack and she is my guest. Save her, Raven.”
“I need stuff from the hospital.” Raven mutters as she inspects Mallory’s open wound.

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 ☺️...
