Dane
Grabbing some water, I throw it on his body. Jenson groans but doesn’t move.
“Get the fuck up.” I demand.
More groans, and there is a tiny bit of movement. He raises his hand and gives me the middle finger. for the water or my presence, I didn't know.
“What the fuck do you mean she is coming?” I snap. My temper was hanging on by a very thin thread.
“She’s coming for me.” He croaks
“Is that what you want?”
He doesn’t answer me.
Silent treatment I was used to from my sister. But not Jenson. He wouldn’t know what silence means if it bit him on the ball bag.
Even interrogating him. He may not have given us any information about them, but it didn’t stop him making every shit remark possible.
His eyes open and he stares at me from the ground. “I…fucked up, Dane.” He mutters breathlessly. His breaths sound hollow and raspy, I had a feeling it wasn’t just his wolf he was killing.
Our wolves are part of us. Created from the Alpha blood that lives in our body. To try and kill Aspen’s spirit would be like trying to kill himself.
“What does she want?”
His gaunt face stares back at me. Raven was right, I had been too caught up in punishing him to see how ill he looked. Like he had one foot through deaths door.
“I can help you Jenson, you just need to give me the information I need.”
He rolls onto his back, his eyes fixate on the ceiling as he presses a hand to his chest. “It’s weak. Aspen is gone.”
His chest doesn’t rise much when he tries to take a deep breath. And he ends up coughing on it.
“Neah.” He splutters
“I know, but what does she want from Neah?”
He rolls his face towards me. “Everything. Her life….her power… her family.”
His lips still and his chest stops rising and falling.
I am not letting this happen. Quickly opening his cell, I link Raven to come as I slam my fist down over his heart. I hear his ribs crack, but I don’t care about that.
Pressing my ear to his chest, I hear nothing and start compressions.
Raven and Damien crash through the door just as Jensons heart begins to beat again. But it is still weak, still barely hanging on.
She nods and runs up the rest of the steps.
In the office I find Eric. He’s standing in front of my desk, his hands in his pockets.
“Eric.” I mutter in surprise.
“Dane.” He dips his head.
When I sit in my chair, he moves to the door and closes it with a sigh. “You figured it out.” He murmurs without making eye contact. "She told me."
“Secrets rarely stay secret around me. Besides, there were a few giveaways. You marked her.”
“It wasn’t what I was intending. I was drunk. She made a few comments and then told me she might be leaving the pack.”
“Because of Neah?”
He nods. “I lost it. I still don't know what came over me.”
“Exactly how I feel when something happens to Neah. What about Kelsie?”
“She was never my true mate, was she?! We got together when we were kids, long before we were old enough to even shift. Stayed together because of the boys. Boys that weren’t even mine. If she had been my true mate, she would have died from what she did with Jenson. Same as how you almost killed Neah by kissing her.”

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 ☺️...
