The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 177
Damien
I would usually have been impressed by Neah’s kill if I wasn’t so worried.
Mallory nudges me, giving me the same look of concern. I knew what was going through her head and I slowly shook my own. We would need to be really careful.
Raven keeps her head buried against by chest, grossed out by how Neah had killed Roan. Neah had made him suffer over and over until she decided enough was enough. Or rather, she was done playing with her prey.
“Raven, go with Mallory, I need to speak to Dane.”
Her dark eyes peer up at me. “Why, what’s wrong?”
“I just need to confirm a few things, that’s all.” I reassure her, hoping it would be enough information to keep her from pushing. It wasn’t that I wanted to keep secrets, but Dane was Neah’s mate, he should hear the information from me first.
“Come.” Mallory smiles at her. “You are mated to my best friend, we should get to know each other.”
Dane is looking at me suspiciously but Raven follows Mallory anyway. A few moments pass and he orders Eric and Klaus to go with them, just in case Salem was about. Salem wouldn't show himself yet, whatever he was planning, he was dragging it out, much like how Neah had killed Roan. I wonder if she knew she had spent hours torturing him.
“What?” He snaps when the dungeon door is closed and it was just us and a dismembered Roan.
“There was something you told me about her Lycan being a separate spirit.”
“And? I know I said you could kill Roan, is that what this is about?”
“No. It’s just, since I have been here, I have come to understand that when her Lycan is pushing forward her eyes are dark, almost black. It’s her Lycan that helps her find the courage to kill.”
“Yes.”
“Then listen to me, Dane, because you will lose her and it won’t be to death.”
His brows fuse as he glares at me.
“How she is acting, is how I became a Rogue. It’s how Salem became a Rogue as well as the others. Just now, she was completely oblivious to the rest of us. Like it was just her and the prick down here. She played with the body, slicing him open and letting him heal, over and over like it was a game. Exactly how the Rogues play with their food. I bet she doesn't even know how many times she did it.”
He shakes his head. “You are wrong.”
“Mallory saw it too.”
“She was just getting revenge for Jess.” He defends Neah, but I hear the scepticism that he tries to hide in his tone. Deep down he could see it too.
“Think about it, Dane. You grew up knowing how to punish people. Making them pay for their sins. Most Rogues didn’t. The ability to kill with ease became a new adventure and I see that in Neah. You said it yourself. For the best part of sixteen years she was a slave. Her abilities were bound. Her true life was kept from her. And she has gained everything back in less than a year.”

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 ☺️...
