The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 265
Mallory
“She’s not angry.” Eric tells me as he walks me home. “You have to remember that she hasn’t been a Lycan for long. A lot of things are still new for her.”
“I know. They lied to her, convincing her that she is a Wolf.” They kept reminding me of that every chance they got. But she also needed to know that her past didn't define her.
“It’s more than that. Imagine what it’s been like to be lied to her entire life. To be thrown into something she knew nothing about. To have had everything taken from her. From where I’m standing, she’s handling it pretty damn well.”
I smirk. “Klaus said something like that.”
“We are not wrong. Compared to what she was like, she’s a different person now.”
“You think she’s frustrated?”
He nods with a sad smile. “Frustrated with herself, because trust me, you would know if she was angry. Everything is a learning curve. Not everyone settles into something so easily. I know she is capable of doing what you are asking her too. I was there when she ordered hundreds of Lycans, bitten and pureblood to bring her their own leader.”
“Okay, but we are running out of time.”
“You don’t know that. Blair showed up once and then didn’t show up again for months.”
“Right.” I frown, but my gut instinct was telling me we didn’t have months. “How come you were in the house?”
“I was speaking to Dane.”
“And?”
“He has asked me to be a second Beta.”
“Alongside Damien?”
Now, there were just two reasons for me to stay here. At least that is double the amount from when I last checked.
Following my usual routine, I make a cup of tea and take it outside, settling on the stones that make up my small porch. Only tonight I wasn’t watching people.
Klaus had lent me an old laptop and I was determined to find something to do with other Lycans.
I didn’t know exactly what I was looking for. Maybe strange sightings, strange animal related deaths. I might as well put my mind to some use if I wasn’t going to get laid tonight.
The grounds of the pack get quieter and quieter until darkness completely sets in. I had already refilled my cup three times and still, I had found nothing. I should have expected it really. We kept our location hidden when we were protecting the Rogues and Klaus had mentioned something about Lycans going into hiding according to this Aldous Kitson.
Plus humans were naive to what happened around them. Those stories of wars were just myths to them, unless someone brought you in, like Cassandra.
Just when I’m ready to give up, I find a story from around twenty years ago about a teenager saving a woman from a monstrous beast.

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 ☺️...
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...

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....
