The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 189
Klaus has his head buried in books. He smiles at me as I plonk myself on the chair. His long dark hair falling around his face. He is quick to tuck it back, letting his deep green eyes catch mine, “You okay?”
“Frustrated.” I mutter
“We both know if there was something wrong with Damien, you would have felt it.”
“It’s not that.”
He tilts his head and smirks at me. “Really?”
“I just have a bad feeling.”
“About what?”
“That’s the problem. I don’t really know.”
“You are in a mood, but you don’t know why?”
“Exactly.” I let myself slope against the backrest. “Did you know Dane has asked Mallory to join in the training today?”
Klaus bobs his head at me. “It was actually my idea.”
“Yours?” I splutter in surprise
“Look, she is in the house the entire time and as much as Neah has accepted her help with her other problem, she feels caged in by Mallory. Dane wants Neah to have a break and this is the best way.”
“So you are sending her to training and have told her it’s so she can protect Neah.”
“We never told her that.” He scowls at me. “Maybe she just got the wrong idea of what's being asked of her.” He pauses. “Maybe she made a mistake. Maybe she misunderstood.”
He was probably right, though it sounded as if he was trying to convince himself. Mallory had spent most nights telling me how she was grateful that Neah was finally talking to her. Maybe she had just misheard.
“You miss him?"
“Huh?” He doesn’t even register what I say. I repeat my question and he shrugs his shoulders. “Who knows?”
“Do you not wonder, if they are out there, wondering where you are?”
‘He won’t tell us.’ Midnight muses, already predicting the outcome of this conversation.
“No.” He slowly closes the book and looks up at me. “Not all of us view life in the same way, Raven.”
And that was the end of that conversation. I had tried so many times to get information over the years, but it was always the same answer. I didn’t even know if he was into men, women or maybe even both. He kept all that close to his chest. I didn’t even know if there was anyone in the pack that he liked.
I twiddle my thumbs, and eventually push myself up to leave. As I get to the door, Klaus tells me that he is sure Damien will be back soon. As though he knew why I was really asking questions. A distraction from my own mind.
But what if something bad has happened? What if that control he has, stopping him from turning back to a Rogue, breaks? What if he is so angry with Salem that I lose him for good?
I limp to the bottom of the stairs, but instead of climbing it. I sit there, willing and hoping that he walks right back through the front door.

Execcelent! Loved it!...
What about 80? I can only go up to 79...
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 🥹...
EclecticCelt sounds like your got massive issues because you can't understand something straightforward...
The last this book was updated was December 2024 not 3 years like someone else claimed. It can't be 3 years when the author started the story in Jan 2024. Now the story can be found on Inkitt...
I have a question. I understand this book is pirated with left out parts or adjusted. Is this version here ever going to be finished. I just want to know what happens....
I recently learned that this story is pirated. To read it legally, go to inkitt.com or the Inkitt app and search for Taylor West. FYI, the Facebook group is highly cliquish, so be warned....
