The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 192
Raven
Every single day I sat and waited. Thirty days and still nothing. Complete radio silence. Not a single link, nothing, but he was still alive.
I lean back against the stairs, letting it dig into my back as I close my eyes trying to force a line between us to open.
“Why won’t it work?!” I snap at midnight. My sanity was holding on by a thread.
‘You know why.’ She mutters back, just as frustrated.
“Well that’s a fucking stupid reason.” I shouldn’t have to mark him to be able to link him. He had already claimed me.
She nods her head in agreement. It doesn’t make me feel any better. In fact, it was just a reminder of how different we are. A Lycan and a Wolf. I’m sure my parents must be turning in their grave. Three children, all mated to Lycans. Even worse, I had been mated to two.
‘I wish they were still here to see how you had turned out.’ Midnight whispers softly. ‘I’m sure they would be pleased.’
I knew mum would. She was the reason I became a pack doctor.
I sigh and push myself up, pleased when my leg doesn’t cramp. It was getting there, but still had a long way to go. I still walked with a limp, and the pain wasn’t constant. Maybe I would be walking properly by the time Damien got home.
Just as I’m on my feet, Eric tumbles in through the front door. A bottle of half drunk whisky hanging from his hand. The liquid swirls as he struggles to stay upright. He frowns as some sloshes onto the floor.
He had started drinking a couple of weeks ago and even his parents were at a loss of what to do. They were grieving for their grandchildren and now it seemed like they were grieving for their son too.
Dane had tried talking to him along with most of the pack members but his grief was heavy and he just couldn’t see a way through it. I wondered how his ex was coping. I knew she left a while ago and I half expected her to turn up, but nothing. Almost like she didn't care.
I never understood how a mother could leave her children behind while she runs off.
“Hey Eric.” I mutter, limping to him. When I grab the bottle, he lets me take it. Which was progress in itself.
“Where is he?” He slurs, wobbling and falling back against the door frame
“Who are you looking for Eric?”
“Big bro….” he laughs to himself, his body slipping down the door frame until he hits the floor with a thud. His chin drops to his chest and in seconds, snores vibrate through the foyer as drool creeps out the corner of his lips.
“You know as well as I do, he will burn it off in less than an hour.”
“And he will start all over again. It’s not good for him.” I groan
“Just like it isn’t good for you to sit on the bottom step everyday waiting for Damien.”
“I’m not harming anyone.” I snap
“You are harming yourself.”
We dump Eric onto a sofa. He groans as his body sinks into the cushions while Dane and I glare at one another.
“What would you do, if it were Neah?” I fold my arms up. I already knew the answer. He would burn the world down looking for her. He should be grateful that I’m just sitting on the stairs, waiting, hoping and praying to the Moon Goddess that he walks through those doors..
“You have a point.” He mutters
I look at his tired crimson eyes as he straightens his spine. “Are you going to lead the pack run tonight?”

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....
