The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 20
“No.”
“Don’t lie to me. The last time you held it like that, you collapsed.”
“It doesn’t hurt, I swear.”
“Then why are you holding it?”
“It’s….It’s nothing.” I didn’t want to tell him that the scar was a reminder of how weak I was. It was going to be a permanent reminder of my weakness. Bruises fade, smaller wounds heal, but this would be there forever. A constant reminder that even though the blood tie was broken, I was still mated to Beta Kyle. Yet even when he dies, it will still be there. A reminder of the horrible life I had.
His crimson eyes narrow as his brow creases into a frown. He leans back in his chair, studying me when I don’t explain myself.
“Scars will fade over time. It won’t always be so prominent.”
How could he know what I was thinking? Or was it that obvious?
“You should look at it as a survivor's wound.” He continues.
“A survivor’s wound?” It wasn’t something that was on my radar at all.
He nods at me. “It caused you a great deal of pain and suffering. But look at you, standing in front of me, probably looking the healthiest you have in years. You survived, Neah. You may not think it, but deep down, you are a fighter.”
He had such high hopes and time will show him just how wrong he is. The only person I’ve ever really wanted to kill is Beta Kyle. Other than that, I wasn’t a fighter.
When there was no news of any more beasts in the forest, Alpha Dane told me I didn’t need to stay in the office any longer and that I was free to explore.
Standing at the open front door, I watch the snow start to fall, little white wispy flakes blow around and there were already children running around trying to catch the flakes on their tongues.

Just loving how you keep trying to block me swnovels...
Hi Taylor, I found your book by accident. I really enjoy your writing, but I must admit that there’s a little more sex than I am use to, most likely because of my age 😁. I was wondering if you have released them in ebook ? I have read some of your notes to your readers and I know that you have written other books but I can’t find them in ebook format. I live in Sweden and have enjoyed reading this story as the dark nights get longer and longer. I am looking forward to re-joining Dane and Neah’s story. Thank you for sharing your marvelous talent.

Why are you ignoring the DMCA the author sent?...
I'm so glad it's being posted here, I don't have the income to pay 250 in order to unlock all the chapters. However, whenever the physical book comes out, I'll be the first to buy them. I love the story, love the way it is written (typos and all) I just cannot pay all of that money, the app is ridiculously predatory....
book 2: Bonds that bind us...
I don’t see the name of the new book. Could you please resend it?...
