The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 325
Damien
I listen to them talk. Neah tries to keep herself calm as Eric tells her that Klaus has already restarted Mallory’s heart twice.
Twice.
It wasn’t a good sign.
We could heal to a certain extent, but if the heart decides to give up. It is rare anyone can come back from that.
Raven should be helping. She is the pack's main doctor. Not Klaus and not the others that she had trained. I had seen her work. She was precise, never missed a step, but she had point blank refused to come when I had linked her and now she is ignoring me.
I rise to my feet and Neah’s blue eyes flash in my direction.
“Please tell me what happens as soon as you hear it.” I almost choke on my own words. Mallory is my best friend, we had been through a lot together. I couldn’t lose her because some fucking prick shot her by accident.
Neah nods at me.
I come to a stop outside the hospital. Trying to decide if I wanted to speak to Dane about his sister, or speak to my mate directly. She should be helping. I had to find a way to make her help.
Making my way across the grounds, I pause outside the packhouse, preparing myself for the argument that is already brewing.
Pulling open the door, Dorothy come's hurtling towards me from the stairs. Fear written all over her chubby little face as she throws herself into my arms.
“Hey, hey. What’s wrong?”
“There’s something bad in the house Daddy.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s dark upstairs.”
I look up the stairs where sunlight is flooding in through the large windows.
“Don’t go up there Daddy.” Her bright green eyes are filled with tears as she glances up the stairs.
“Who is upstairs, Dottie?”
Her eyes find mine and quickly drop. She squeezes herself against my chest and whispers, “Raven.”
“Anyone else?”
Dottie shakes her head and shudders. “Daddy, can we leave?”
I back out of the house. I couldn’t feel anything but the pain Raven was still feeling.
“Logan and Evrin are with Athena and Sebastian, would you like to go there?” I was trying to keep her calm, but whether she believed it or not was a different matter.
“Yes please.” She nods her head frantically.
On some level, I hoped that she had just been napping and had woken from a bad dream. But the silent treatment from Raven and the lack of interest in helping Mallory had me concerned.
I look over my shoulder to see Abraxas coming my way.
“Did you shoot Mallory?” I had to hear it from him
“I may be sadistic at times, and I love to kill Lycans, but I don’t kill pups. They are still pure. And if you hadn’t noticed, I could have taken any of you out at any time and I haven’t. So I will ask you again, how is my daughter?”
“Scared.”
“I know that, dumbass. What is she scared of?”
“My mate.”
His brows knit together. “She’s helping Mallory, right?”
Did I just see a hint of concern? Did he actually like Mallory
“No, Klaus is.”
As much as I despised him, maybe he was the one who could help me. After all, he claimed to see this darkness in people and I couldn’t lose my best friend and my mate in one day.
I tell him what happened with Dottie. The fear, the panic and the need to get out of the house like she knew she was in danger.
“You think Ravens lost it?” He asks me carefully.
“I don’t know what to think. I know she is not the same woman I fell for. I know she has shut down. I know she is still in pain, which she refuses to talk about. I can barely get inside her head and when I do…..”

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....
