She sucks her bottom lip between her teeth as her eyes narrow. “You could have easily killed him. But you didn’t, you even purposely missed his heart after he had hurt Raven.”
“And that was an emotional mistake.”
“Because a part of you hoped that your old brother was still in there?”
I don’t answer because I don’t need to. There was nothing more for me to say on the matter. I decide to change the topic. “Why don’t you want me to call you Alpha?”
“It’s not just you, I don’t like anyone calling me it.”
“But you use the term when needed, like when you were squaring up to Salem. And I heard that you used it to get the other Lycans to stop attacking Black Shadow.”
A small crease appears on her brow. “I was made to call people by their status my whole life. If I didn’t, I got punished. Even with Dane I still said it for a long time. It’s not something that I want to force people to call me. It makes me sound….”
“More powerful than the rest of us? Because we all know you are.”
Her eyes flicker up to me. “It makes me sound like a power pissed asshole.”
Her comment makes me laugh.
“Dane did tell me that you took some time to accept your Alpha position. Maybe it’s time for you to take back everything that was taken from you.”
She lets out an involuntary snort
“Is that it, Damien? Is that why you are really here? To try and convince me to be something I’m not.”
“No. I can’t convince you of something you have already been questioning. And I don’t need to convince you that you are powerful. You already know that.”
“I haven’t been questioning it.”
“Right.” I mutter, knowing full well that she had. I saw it in the way she acted. Her desire to correct what is wrong.
“Let’s test this theory of yours.” she mutters. “How exactly am I supposed to be an Alpha of two bitten Lycans and a Rogue?”
Downstairs I hear Mallory telling the others about what happened to her. Her eyes flash up to mine when I walk in and she gives me a massive smile. “I’m alive.”
“Why did the fucker come after you?”
“I was telling them that he turned up at my house. I was so surprised to see him in human form that I was too slow in acting. He shifted and....” she gestures to the thick red weeping wound on her stomach.
“Did he say anything?”
“That he wants to kill us all. I know I have already said he is nuts. But the idiot is in full on demon mode. Talking about how he will make everything his. That we will bow down to him.”
Dane laughs. “If he wants to bring death to us all, how are we going to bow down to him?!”
“It’s a choice.” Klaus mutters with a frown. “He is saying it’s either we bow down, or we die.”
“Then he chose the wrong pack to attack.” Dane snarls.

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....
