The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 27
Dane
Cassandra coughs as my fingers tighten against her throat. Her own fingers desperately clawed at my hands, hoping that I would free her.
“Are you growing it?” I demand, releasing my grip, just enough to allow her to speak.
“No.” She croaks.
“Then how did you get your hands on some? Is it Trey or the other fucking idiot that's growing it?”
“I found it!” she mutters hoarsely
“Bullshit!”
“It’s not…..It’s not bullshit!” She splutters, "It's...it's true!"
“Who were you trying to kill? Me or her?” I demand
There is movement behind me and from the corner of my eye, I see Neah step forward.
“Was it you?” Neah whispers
“Don’t speak to me, RAT!”
“Answer her!” I slam her body into the wall again. Feeling some of her bones crack as she yelps in pain
“I don’t ....know what she is talking about.” she gasps
“Let me clear things up for you. Her parents were killed with Blood of Wolfsbane. The murder was pinned on her. A six year old. Your husband claimed she should have known the difference between plants. But you already know all this. So again, did you kill her parents?”
“GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY MATE!” Trey comes charging in, sending me crashing into Neah.
Her blue eyes lock with mine as I land on top of her small frame. She lets out a gasp as my chest hits hers and in that moment, I knew that what Aero is saying is true. There was no doubt about it, she was my mate.
‘Told you!’ Aero mutters smugly
But it still didn’t explain how she could be mated to two people at once.
I get to my feet and round on Trey. He was raging about me pinning his mate and was checking the marks on her neck.
Slowly, he straightens up. “How fucking dare you come in to my home and attack my mate!”
“Can you not smell the blood of wolfsbane?” I snap at him
He clenches his teeth together. “She was alone, she was protecting herself!”
“I came here for answers. Not a war. But if a war is what you want, then I am only too happy to provide.”
Suddenly, he holds his hands up, realising that I meant exactly what I was saying “It was a mistake, she shouldn’t have done it. But even you, Alpha Dane, must see that my mate felt the need to protect herself.”
“Now the problem we have is that, the contract stated if you were to hurt Neah again, this pack would become mine.”
“She didn’t hurt her though. I assume because you have tipped it on the floor that you figured it out before any damage was done.” His eyes shift to Cassandra who was still sitting on the floor, rubbing her neck. “She didn’t break any rules, thankfully.”
‘He has found his own fucking loophole.’ Aero growls.
He had. For the first time since I had started creating contracts, Trey was the first to find his own loophole.
“I’m sure we can talk about this… misunderstanding.” Trey mutters. He turns to his mate. “Leave us.”
“I’m not leaving.”
“Shut up!” I growl at her
Trey turns to look at Neah. “You did kill them. But it wasn’t supposed to be them. You were too young to remember, you were supposed to have taken the poisoned lemonade to Cassandra’s parents. But you took the jug and served our parents first.”
I watch Neah, blink back the tears. Her hands ball into fists as she slides them under her legs until she is sat on them.
“So you punished her for your actions?”
“I had too. She served them and there were too many witnesses.” He sinks into a chair. “I couldn’t let her go unpunished.”
“And yet, you still let everyone beat her, including yourself. Was binding her not enough?”
“Then the stupid cow should have followed instructions!” Cassandra snaps.
Everything Neah had told me about Cassandra’s attitude changing made sense. She had tried to befriend Neah and get her to do her dirty work. It was all a ploy.
“So let me get this straight, if she had killed your parents, you would never have tormented my bride?”
Neither one of them answer me.
“I thought as much.”
I was waiting for Aero to say something, but all he does is pace in my mind. I think he was just trying to hold it together until he got more information.
“You may be angry with me, Alpha Dane, but it’s in the past. We want to move forward and have a strong alliance with your pack. I know there is bad history between us and my sister, but we can move on from that. Can’t we?”
"Bad history?" I snort. "You made her life hell."
I look over to my mate, who is staring down at her lap. And I had a demanding need to get revenge for her. For everything that had ever happened to her, I wanted them all to pay. Every last Wolf of Moonshine would feel my wrath.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
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...
OMG! This is stolen and the person who has uploaded it doesn't have the authors permission! It's disgusting tou can steal someone's hard earned work! Please come find the true author on FB Taylor west pack and this one will never be finished....
I love this book! It was a sample read for an advertised app that you must pay to keep reading. I wasn't willing to pay for each chapter, so I searched and found this site. Something I'd like to see more of is time passing. We had a little during Neah’s pregnancy, and there was a recent mention that Neah had been in the pack for two years; I didn't know that much time had passed. Until I heard it had been two years, I thought all the events were happening back to back. That's why it would be nice to have a sense of the passage of time—just a thought....
