The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 171
“What do you need?” Damien and Dane ask in unison.
Raven starts making a list as I watch Mallory drift into unconsciousness.
“Hurry. But be careful, we don't know where Salem is.” She mutters as the men disappear out the back door.
Raven works to clean Mallory’s stomach, prepping it for whatever she needs to do. I find myself unable to move. I was inches away from getting my revenge for what she had down to me and yet6 I couldn't say the words.
“Damien will never forgive me if she dies.” Raven mutters, pushing intestines back in the gaping wound
My eyes flicker up to her, but she isn’t looking at me, instead, she is too focussed on saving Mallory.
If I stop her from helping Mallory, it would put her matebond with Damien at risk. She will hate me for taking away her chance at happiness. I couldn’t lose the one friend I have.
“Can you save her?” I ask quietly
“I think so.” she gives me a tight lipped smile. “The wound higher up has already healed which is a good sign. But I think her stomach is a bit like my leg. I won’t be able to tell until I can get in there properly.”
She sighs. “I know you have issues with her, Neah. I know a million ideas are probably running through your head right now, but this is what I signed up for. Saving people and helping them has always been my dream. Please don’t let me leave her to die.”
‘It’s your choice. I will stand by you no matter what you decide.’ Nyx murmurs.
“Is there anything I can do to help?” It was so hard forcing the words from my mouth.
Raven gives me a small smile. “Give me your hand.”
She takes my hand and places it on Mallory’s neck. “Normally, I would listen to her pulse, but it’s not clear. Her body is going through mass amounts of trauma so you have to trust what you feel. Do you feel it?”
“You were going to let her die.”
“I didn’t though, did I?” The words sound so spiteful. “I... I helped.”
His hands move to my shoulders. “I wish you would talk to me more.”
“I do talk to you.”
“Not recently. You are so short tempered all the time and if you are not, it lasts for all of five minutes before you lose your temper. And no matter how many times I have asked you not to do it, Nyx keeps blocking me from reading your mind. I can’t help if you keep blocking me out.”
His crimson eyes bore into my own, making me feel small and seen
I open my mouth to speak, but the words disappear into thin air like they were never supposed to be heard.

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 ☺️...
