Kitson, it was a rare name. Of all the Wolves and the very few Lycans I had come across, Neah was the only one with that surname left.
“An ancestor?” I murmur, turning the brown book over in my hands.
“I would say yes, just by the way he talks about bloodlines. Neah is a female Alpha, her genetics had to come from somewhere.”
“Are the Lycans a threat?”
“I don’t know.” He mutters. “It talks about them rising again, but it was centuries ago, Dane. And all of those would be long dead. So it would be descendents.”
“Damien has always believed there are more out there. Are you telling me that my mate was not just the leader of Moonshine but is the leader of every Lycan out there?”
He nods his head at me.
“Have you told anyone else?”
“No, I came straight here.”
“Good. keep it that way. I need to figure out my next step.”
More Lycans, would they be a threat to our kind? What if there are more like Salem? Too feral to think straight.
“She couldn’t control Salem.” I mutter, “Not completely.”
“Damien told me something about that. It’s something to do with the rejection. Like Jenson, Jenson rejected you as his Alpha and rejected the pack too. It’s likely that Salem did that but possibly long before he met her. I'm not sure anymore. New information is seeping out everywhere.
“Do you really believe that?”
He sucks in his cheeks. “I only really believe what I read and what I see for myself.”
“I need to speak to Damien.”
Klaus follows me upstairs. Knocking on Raven's door, I call out to Damien, only to find him stepping out of the room next door where Dorothy slept now.
He yawns and looks at his watch “A bit early isn’t it?”
I nod to the door he is pulling closed, “She okay?”
“Still a few nightmares. She’s getting there.”
****
Damien sits in the chair in my office, his legs spread as he leans forward and rests his elbows on his thighs. “So I was right.”
“It seems that way, yes. Why, why did you think there are more?”
“Shortly before I was bitten, Cassandra would talk to me, telling me it was such a shame that I wasn’t a true Lycan. Muttering something about how I would have been a good specimen in the Lycan pool but because I am a bitten Lycan, I wouldn’t be as good as the true thing.” He chuckles. “If only she could see me now.”
“That doesn’t imply there are more.”
“You’re right. But when I questioned her, she didn’t really give me an answer. To me, that suggests there was and is a lot more than I know about. A lot more than any of us know about.”
They both raise their eyebrows at me in surprise.
“Neah will be giving birth in about a month. We have enough shit going on with Salem and the possibility that he might return. Plus you have Dorothy. I don’t need anymore crap right now.”
“But…” Damien starts
“No. I’m still watching my mate constantly for any change. What do you think finding out there are more Lycans out there will do to her? She doesn’t need it and I sure as hell don’t need it.”
“They are her kind. Your soon to be born pups kind.”
“I am doing what's best for my mate and you need to keep your mouth shut. I mean it Damien, if a single word of this gets to her you will regret it.”
He snorts.
“You haven’t seen the things I’m capable of. And I will do what I need to do to protect my mate.”
My eyes flicker to Klaus who had already lowered his head in submission to my tone, but Damien stares back at me.
“Fine.” He snaps. “But I’m telling you, this will backfire. If I have learned anything about your mate, my Alpha, she fucking hates secrets. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go and check on Dottie.”
He slams my office door shut behind him
If the situation were different, I probably would go looking. Just to get answers for Neah. They had been in hiding for centuries, it won’t hurt for them to stay there.

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....
Ooh and thanks to the website techs ☺️...
