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.

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....
This is stolen and as such, a lot of my story is being left out/adjusted. The true version is on Inkitt...
OMG! This is stolen and the person who has uploaded it doesn't have the authors permission! It's disgusting tou can steal someone's hard earned work! Please come find the true author on FB Taylor west pack and this one will never be finished....
I love this book! It was a sample read for an advertised app that you must pay to keep reading. I wasn't willing to pay for each chapter, so I searched and found this site. Something I'd like to see more of is time passing. We had a little during Neah’s pregnancy, and there was a recent mention that Neah had been in the pack for two years; I didn't know that much time had passed. Until I heard it had been two years, I thought all the events were happening back to back. That's why it would be nice to have a sense of the passage of time—just a thought....
Is there an update when the next chapter will be available?...
