“Afraid?” Dane asks. His eyes flicker to me.
“Because she can’t control herself when she does.” Her eyes shift to Damien. “We both know everyone struggles with the darkness in different ways.” She sighs, “But she did anyway, I mean, we saw it. She ate that deer that I crashed into. Devouring it like it was a drug.”
“You still let her go.” Dane shakes his head in annoyance.
“Because she will come for Jenson.” Damien tells him. “She will come here, looking for him because he is her mate. We can trap her, keep her hostage and find out what her plan is.”
“Or we could just kill her.” Dane mutters. “What good is a plan if she is already dead?”
Damien nods in agreement, but I still needed more answers. Answers that I would never get if they kill her.
“I need her alive.” I blurt out and feel everyone's gaze on me.
“Are you sure?” Dane asks
I bob my head. “She can’t be doing all this just because we share the same father. Because that isn’t my fault. I think there is more to her story.”
“We can see how much Jenson knows.” Mallory suggests. “Where did you put him?”
“Dungeon.” Dane answers abruptly and walks out of the office.
I follow him to the kitchen, where he starts to fill a bucket with cold water. Pure anger is written across his face. He moves to the ice machine and chucks the ice in the cold water.
“Dane….”
“We agreed no more secrets, Neah. I seem to be the only one that is doing that.”
I feel my heart drop. “I know…This wasn’t supposed to happen.” I felt enough guilt already without him reminding me.
“I won’t lose you Neah. The boys can’t lose you either.”
“I know.” I really hadn’t thought it through. “I just…. I finally feel that I have some control over my choices. This isn’t how I thought tonight would go.”
He sighs and pulls me into his arms, locking them tight around me. “Come with me, let's try getting some answers from the prick in my dungeons.
He grabs the bucket of water and hauls it out of the sink with ease.
“Why do you need that?”
“Something to help him wake up.”
“Kelsie didn’t want me to have any part of their lives. She insisted your Beta believed them to be his own. I thought he might have figured it out way before now.” He laughs to himself. “Idiot.”
“Bastard.” Dane mutters
Jenson ignores him and looks me up and down. “Was the Lycan right? Did your kids turn out to be Lycans too?”
Dane sticks a hand out in front of me. A warning not to give him any information. Instead, I ask, “What are you and Blair up to?”
“You will find out soon enough.”
“Does it change things now that she has shifted?” I ask, wanting to annoy him as much as he annoyed me
There is a glimmer of fear in his dark eyes. That fear quickly turns to anger before they glaze over.
“You can try and link her all you want, little brother. She is too wrapped up in finding food to eat.”
“You’re wrong. She will burn this fucking place to the ground to find me.”

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...
