Neah
“My Daddy said that you are not like me.” Dorothy mutters with her face scrunched up as she doodles.
Damien was back and was currently in the office with Dane. Raven had come to find us but was now moving back and forth, chewing on a hang nail.
I eye her suspiciously, while Dorothy keeps asking me questions
“No Dorothy, I’m not like you. I’m like Damien.”
“Daddy?”
I nod as she wrinkles her face up. As far as I was aware Damien hadn’t told her he was a Lycan.
“Raven.”
She freezes and looks at me. “I can’t talk about it,” she murmurs
“Did you…. Did you see Salem?” It was still worrying that no one had seen him. Maybe someone had killed him and I wouldn’t have to deal with that anymore. That would be a miracle.
“No.” She answers at lightning speed
“Who’s Salem?” Dorothy asks from the kitchen table.
She was still busy doodling but was obviously listening.
“You don’t need to worry about that.” I smile
Raven glares at me, but what did she want me to do? Tell the six year old that the monster that killed all the people holding her hostage was Salem?
“Grown up stuff.” I add. She shrugs her shoulders and scribbles harder.
“Okay….okay… I can’t take this anymore.” She runs her hands through her dark hair, chewing on her bottom lip as she stares at me. “I saw Jenson.”
“Oh, is… is he okay?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t speak to him.”
I was about to hug her. I knew she had struggled with the loss of her twin and was still struggling. Even if she would never admit it.
“What are you saying? That I have another family member out there? Another Lycan?”
“You really should speak to Dane and Damien. I will stay here with Dorothy.”
I pause with my hand on the door and look back over my shoulder at her. She mouths ‘I’m sorry.’
I was too. I had been dragged through enough lies and secrets and hated every bit of it. Yet Dane still insisted on keeping things from me.
Waddling down the hallway to the office. I can hear both Dane and Damiens heated discussion. Deciding when the best time would be to tell me.
“It’s not fair to keep it from her.” Damien snaps
“She is my mate. I’m just trying to keep her safe.” Dane retorts.
“Isn’t it easier to be safe if she knows what she is dealing with?” Damien asks “She is the only female Alpha and now there is someone roaming the streets that looks just like her. Do you know how many scenarios have gone through my head?”
“Look. We still don’t know who she is.” I could imagine Dane was on his feet, glaring at Damien. He was so caught up in the argument that he hadn’t even picked up on my scent, hovering outside the door.
“Jenson probably went to her because she looks like Neah.” Dane sighs. “He is like a child, always wanting what he can’t have. He has tried fighting me for the Alpha spot several times He has tried fighting Eric for the Beta position. But instead he lost and he chose to fuck Erics wife. Did he even seem sorry that the kids, his kids, are dead?”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
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....
This is stolen and as such, a lot of my story is being left out/adjusted. The true version is on Inkitt...
