“What if we had gone through the blood tie? What would have happened to me then?”
It was the question she replayed over and over, but she hadn’t once asked me until now.
“He would have broken your heart.” I keep my voice level and calm. Purposely keeping the annoyance from my voice. He probably would have killed her too, but she doesn't need to know that.
Her frown deepens and her eyes move to the closed door separating the kitchen from the hallway. “I hope whoever killed him, made his death quick.”
She had this picture of him in her mind of the man he once was. I wanted to tell her the truth. To tell her that he was never that man and what a bad man he really was. I wanted to tell her about the kind of messed up situations he put himself in, long before he asked Cassandra to turn him. But I bury it down, letting her remember the tiny good things about him.
I was the idiot for letting him live for so long.
She gives me a small sad smile. I should be jealous. I was to begin with, but I can’t change the fact that she loved him once, even if it was built on lies.
“You should… um…” She picks up the spoon and starts digging it back into the melted ice cream. “You should tell the others. Dane and Neah will be so happy.”
I move around the table to hug her and she jabs the spoon at me. “Don’t touch me, I will cut it off. I swear!”
“I can’t even wrap my arms around you.”
“I don’t like being touched when it's my time of the month. You should know this by now! It happens every single damn month!”
"It you let me put a pup in you. It won't."
I was pretty sure he was an alcoholic now. Apart from his balance, he could hold a conversation. There was a term used, back when I was human, ‘Functioning Alcoholic.’ Yep, he definitely fitted that category.
“Eric, go home, get some rest.” Dane growls
Eric stumbles out and Dane quickly calls for one of the omegas to follow Eric to make sure he gets home in one piece.
“You really need to get a handle on that.” I mutter.
“I found out someone is supplying him. I’ve told him and everyone else that if I find out they are bringing in alcohol for him, they will be ripped apart by the others.”
I cock a brow, surprised. He had been letting Eric’s new habit slide for months, I wonder what’s changed. I don’t ask, it wasn’t my place.

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 ☺️...
