The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 200
Dane
Taking a seat in the large chair, I take in the shadows of the grounds. It had been a week since Damien had returned and still, there was no sign of Salem. Maybe that was a good thing. Maybe he realised that he couldn’t get what he wanted from us. but until I knew more, the grounds would be guarded.
Turning my head back over my shoulder, I see that Neah is still fast asleep, huddled up into a ball with her hands cupping her bump. Unbothered about me not lying next to her.
‘She looks so peaceful.’ Aero mutters
‘She’s beautiful.’ I whisper back to my Wolf.
With no sign of Salem, she had been so much calmer. Raven insisted that she was at the stage in her pregnancy where she had more clarity. Even if it was temporary.
And I was more than happy, there was a moment where I thought I would lose her to the darkness.
The very darkness that I enjoyed seeing in her.
Her heart rate changes and she stretches out. “You’re watching me again.” She mutters sleepily yet keeps her eyes closed.
“I will never stop watching you.”
She doesn’t answer and the beat of her heart slows telling me that she had fallen back into a slumber.
My eyes move up to the clock, it was coming up to four in the morning and the Wolves on guard would be swapping over soon.
There’s movement over the far side of the grounds and as he steps out of the shadows, I see Klaus heading this way, books under his arms as he quickened his pace.
Groaning, I push myself up and move to the bed, kissing Neah on the cheek. She doesn’t wake, but a small smile spreads across her face. A kiss was all she would let me have at the moment, insisting that being pregnant made sex uncomfortable. When the twins are here, I will remind her of everything she has been missing out on.
Slipping out the door and down the stairs, I find Klaus with his hand ready to knock on my office door.
“Klaus it is four in the morning.”
“I’m sorry, Dane, but this couldn’t wait.” He is practically grinning from ear to ear.
I gesture for him to enter the office and he quickly drops the books on my desk. “You know how it was really hard for me to find information on Neah and other Lycans. That the only information was from a long time ago and only snippets of literature.”
“I remember Klaus.” I yawn
“Remember what Jess said, about the humans having stories.”
‘Hiding? Where?’ Aero mutters and I repeat the question to Klaus
“It’s not specific. I’ve searched the book and there is no mention of it. Just that it was important to keep the knowledge of Lycans quiet.”
“Why were we not taught anything about this war in school?”
“Think about it. If they wanted to go into hiding, the last thing they needed was humans or Wolves discovering information years down the line.” His deep green eyes flicker up to mine. “We were told about a war, Dane if you remember your history.”
“The Great Wolf War.”
He nods his head. "It was known as that, but what if that was just a cover up. I feel like such a fucking idiot. Of course the Lycans worked to wipe out all information. But then why would someone write a book?”
I cock an eyebrow. “It probably wasn’t supposed to end up there. It was likely supposed to stay with the Lycans”
“You are probably right.” He taps the book, more excited than ever. “The guy who wrote this book was a leader in the war. He kept talking about the importance of a blood line. His blood line to be precise.”
He closes the very old book and hands it to me ‘The War.’ By Aldous Kitson.

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....
