The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 288
Blair
My eyes focus on the brats playing in the front garden. They are spitting images of their father. They looked happy as they kicked a ball between them. Giggling and laughing until the younger boy slips on the ball, landing with a heavy thud.
The sound of their happiness is quickly replaced with cries and the elder boy screaming for his mother.
She comes rushing out of the house, an apron tied around her waist, a small dish towel tossed over her shoulder, her jet black hair tied up into a high bun. She drops to her knees, pulling the small boy in against her chest and rocking him. Promising him that everything was going to be okay.
She had raised them to be wimps. There wasn't even any blood. If I had fallen from a tree at their age, she would have told me to get up and shake it off. ‘You’re better than this. Grow a backbone! Be better!’
They are all smiles and the tears have stopped as she promises them cake and ice cream. I roll my eyes, I would have been lucky to get a decent dinner at that age.
But here I was, needing a place to lie low, a place to think. I had returned to my mother’s home in the hope that she will welcome me in, even if it's just for a night or two while I figure things out.
Forcing myself out of my new blue BMW, I straighten up, my bones cracking. I had only just managed to force myself to shift back yesterday. It took a lot, but for now I was back in human form and I needed to keep it that way.
I step towards the house, throwing my eyes up and down the small cul-de-sac. Every house here is full of Lycans. The remnants of what was once a great Lycan pack.
The white gate creaks as I push it open. I see the curtains twitch. A moment later, the front door is ripped open and there stands my mother’s husband, glaring at me with his deep blue eyes.
“What the fuck do you want?” Ryken demands
“Not you, clearly." I retort, "I came to see my mother and my brothers.”
“She’s not here and the boys have no idea who you are.”
He starts shutting the door, I stick my toe in the door and he glares at me.
“You must be stupid if you think I believe that mum’s not here. I just saw her.” I hated him so fucking much. Almost as much as I hated Neah and her little crew.
“What do you want, Blair?” He steps out of the doorway, making me back up as he folds his arms across his chest in a defensive stance. “You are not welcome here and don’t give me some bullshit about wanting to see your mother. You haven’t been here in five years. I bet you can’t even remember your brothers names.”
I take a deep breath. He wasn’t wrong. The youngest had only just been born when I left. “Maybe it’s time I get to know my brothers.” I offer
“So you can warp their minds too?” He snarls at me. I could kill him. I had thought about it so many times, but for some fucked up reason, I just couldn’t do it. He made my mum happy after she had spent so long being sad and angry at the world and I didn’t want to be the one that takes that away from her again.

These new chapters ate shorter than paragraphs. Makes reading this story quite annoying at the moment...

Hi, I’m usually a silent reader, and first of all, I love the story, but is it possible to avoid the blue texts? Cuz a lot of us are missing a lot of the story due to the texts not loading. I am missing a lot no matter have many times I try to reload. If not, that’s okay as well. Thank you for the amazing entertainment and content...
Loving this story! Can’t wait for you to add more 😁...
Is it just me or are the blue text not loading and every other time I try the captcha it pops up a new tab? Other than that live the story...
