“Did my darkness….”
“No.” He mutters before I get a chance to finish
“Did…did something happen?” Athena had said there were no dead bodies.
“You don’t need to concern yourself with my problems, Neah.”
“Is Dorothy okay?”
“Dorothy is fine. Let it go!” He starts walking again and I run to keep up with his long strides.
“What is wrong?” It had to be something bad, but the guy could protect himself. I had seen it more than once.
He stops again. “I came here to do a job. The job is what I will do. I will try to help you with this other problem. After that, Dorothy and I are leaving.” He looks up at the sky. “You are taking the piss!”
I was quite tempted to ask who he was talking to, but my mouth stays shut. When Abraxas starts moving again, I don’t.
‘He’s plotting to kill us.’ Nyx mutters ‘It’s easier to keep secrets when you don’t have to talk to them.’
I close my eyes, trying to find my own way to block her when I smell Dane coming towards me.
He comes up behind me. His hands gliding over my hips and moving around until he laces his fingers together. “We will find a way to get through this.”
“I hope so.” I whisper back. “I’m just….”
“They will find a way. We will find a way.”
“Not that. Abraxas is being weird.”
“Brax is weird.” He presses his lips against my neck
“Weirder than usual.” I mutter. I knew something was up
They raise their brows at her. "You can go." I tell them. "One of the men will show you your accomodation." I did worry that we were putting Dorothy in danger, by letting her meet the Lycans. She is the daughter of a Hunter.
“Can I go see Daddy now?” She mutters as she neatly puts away her stickers.
“Abraxas isn’t back yet and Damien is with Raven.” It wasn’t always clear which one she was asking about as she continued to call both ‘Daddy’, much to Abraxas’s annoyance. It also made them compete for her attention.
“Is he forgetting about me again?” Her bottom lip sticks out.
“No, he never forgot about you before. You were just very hard to find.” Her brow creases into a frown. “And he said he would be back by dinner time.”
She looks up at the clock even though she couldn’t tell the time very well and puffs out her cheeks. “Can I go play?”
“Sure.” She hops off of the chair, leaving her stickers behind and races past Mallory coming in.
Mallory takes the seat opposite me and sighs heavily. She had started coming to sit in silence in the office, especially when it was just us. It had taken a long time, but I was finally getting used to Mallory’s presence. Though today she seemed a little deflated.

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....
