Abraxas
“She adores him.” Neah tells me. I could see that myself. Dorothy wasn’t old enough to use her Hunter abilities, to her, she may have seen the man who saved her, but to me, he is a ticking time bomb and I don’t want her anywhere near that.
“Would you let your boys near someone you deemed unsafe? I saw the way you looked at Dane when he stood between me and the Rogue. Two squirming babies in his arms. He put them directly in the line of danger.”
“Obviously I wasn’t happy.”
“You still held it together.”
She frowns at me. But it is a frown born of confusion, not anger. If it were anger, she would have that little crease that formed between her brows earlier. Something that surprised me considering I had pointed a gun at her. Even Mallory had acted like she had been jabbed with a taser.
“I’m sorry she did that to you.”
An apology was the last thing I expected. She was a little more unpredictable than I first thought. Maybe she was what all the Lycans needed. Maybe she could be the one to keep them all in line.
“It’s not your place to apologise. As much as you look like her, you were not the one to slit my family's throats while they were sleeping. You were not the one who took my baby girl and handed her off to fucking humans.”
She nods, her eyes flicking to Blondie in the distance. She gives him a tiny shake of the head.
“You knew he was watching, didn’t you?” She asks me quietly.
“Yep. He’s not the only one. Two back there, hiding in the trees. An older woman is watching me from her bedroom window. The couple down there who are acting like they are on their phones. Plus a few others.”
She stares at me with wide eyes as I smile, “I wouldn’t be a successful Hunter if I’m unable to tell where the threats are.” I muse
“Are you part Witch?”
“Fuck no.” Why did they always jump to that? It’s not magic. It's a gift that has been built and developed through generations of Hunters. We came preloaded with information and anything we learned got passed on to the next.
She nods and a small smile appears on her face. Her soul glows brighter too. She turns from me. “I need to go and check on something.”
“You made me hit my fucking mate!” Eric growls, getting back to his feet, leaving his mate to groan on the grass.
“Can’t say I would hit a woman. But then again, it wasn’t me that clonked her in the forehead, was it?”
He growls at me.
“Maybe you need to use your eyes and ears a bit more, Blondie. Take notice of what is going on around you. M aybe tell her it's not such a good idea to stand right behind people, you never know what might come flying your way.”
“Wanker!” He snaps at me as he sits Mallory up.
I shrug my shoulders, I had been called a lot worse, especially by those at the end of my gun.
Was it my intention for him to hit her? No. Did I enjoy it? Maybe a little.
“Go tell your leader.” I muse. “I didn’t lay a hand on either of you, so it sounds like a you problem.” I spit on the grass and turn to the packhouse. I had missed years with my baby girl, I wasn’t about to miss anymore.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
Execcelent! Loved it!...
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....
