‘See, lying.’ Nyx presses
‘If you don’t stop nagging me, I will find a way to block you!’ I snap back at my Lycan
“Can you get Dane and Abraxas?” I ask Mallory.
“Sure.”
Maddie’s eyes widen a little and her heart starts to race all over again. “Are you going to let them shoot me?”
“Just need to check something.” I offer a smile
She sits in silence, fiddling with the ends of her hair as we wait.
Dane is the first through the door, he walks around and presses his lips against my forehead. Maddies chestnut eyes follow the movement and I see a tiny hint of a smile.
“Where’s Abraxas?”
“He’s coming. He was cleaning up his mess.” Dane tells me.
Maddie shudders and combs through her hair with her fingers. “He really is dead?”
“Yes. Are you okay?”
“It hurts, but that’s because he marked me, right?”
I explain to Dane that this Enzo guy wasn’t actually her mate. That he was keeping her as his property. It made me so angry and I’m a little disappointed that she didn’t get to kill him. There wasn’t anything quite like watching the life drain from those you hate.
Shaking my head, I close my eyes and focus on my sons as I push the dark thoughts away when I catch the scent of Abraxas.
“Blondie and the surfer guy are keeping guard.” He mutters, but he is watching me again with an amused expression. He watched me alot.
“You mean Eric and Klaus.” Dane reminds him of their names
“Yes. They said they will let you know when more Lycans arrive.” His hazel eyes move to Maddie. “You’ve told Neah you can’t shift?”
Her head snaps back over her shoulder to glare at him. “How did you know that?”
Abraxas smiles. “I know a lot of things.” His hazel eyes move to me. “I believe you wanted to see me?”
“What else do you know?” I still wasn’t a hundred percent sure if I believed everything that he had said, but he did know an awful lot.
He casts his eyes over her, “All good.”
“What’s happening?” Maddie asks, her voice going up a notch.
“Can you shift?” I repeat, but keep my eyes on Abraxas.
“No, I swear.”
“It’s fine.” I take a deep breath and watch Abraxas head out with a grin on his face. “Maddie, you don’t have to help us. You don’t even have to stay here. But if you want to, you are more than welcome.” I had already decided that I wasn’t going to force any of them to help. Something Dane and I massively disagreed on.
For so long, I had hoped for Lycans to die out, especially when I was told that they are a dying breed and then I got pregnant, with my own Lycan sons.
“With him here?” I didn’t think Maddie’s voice could go much higher, but it does.
“You can stay at mine.” Mallory offers
Maddie drops her shoulders and looks around the office. She probably didn’t have anywhere to go, especially if she had been passed around and sold.
“Abraxas did want me to give you this.” Dane mutters, dropping a wallet on the desk. “He took it from Enzo before he threw his body in the fire. After all the stuff you’ve been through, he thinks it’s only fair for you to have access to Enzo’s money.”
“Why would he do that?” She asks as her brows shoot up. “He’s a Hunter. I’m a Lycan. He kills our kind. Is it some kind of trick?”
“No one really knows how his mind works.” Mallory mutters
“I shouldn’t take it, should I?” Maddie asks quietly.
“Yes, you should. I think you should think of it as payment for what he did to you. Compensation!” Mallory mutters happily
Maddie slowly picks up the wallet. “He has millions.”
“I will get Klaus to set you up your own account and move the money across.” Dane smiles at her. “Welcome to Black shadow.”

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....
