The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 342
Blair
“He won’t find you here. I’m not sure why you won’t believe me. I’ve been here five years and he hasn’t even come close.”
“How would you even know?” I frown as I scan the open fields and Sammie continues to collect eggs from her chickens. Unphased as I keep my guard up.
I had been here nearly a week and I still couldn’t settle. It didn’t matter how many times I said it, I still expected to see Cooper and his weird glazy eyed nurses coming for me.
Sammie had shared some of her story from the prison, but other than what I had told her, I couldn’t bring myself to say anymore. It was a memory I wanted to forget, yet at the same time, I couldn’t let it go because I was still waiting, preparing myself for a fight I knew I would lose.
A part of me wanted to go back. To drive a knife right through his heart. To help the others escape. But I didn’t stand a chance. Not anymore.
“Can I ask you something?” I say as she closes the chicken coop. “Do you feel like you deserved this?”
“The farm?” She asks, confused.
“No, losing your Lycan.”
She slowly walks back to the house with her wicker basket full of eggs. A heavy set frown. She stops just outside the kitchen door and turns to face me. “I didn’t at first. After a while, I understood why Cooper did what he did. Sometimes I still battle with myself about wishing I had certain capabilities, like smelling when the storms come, being able to heal, being able to run without getting out of breath. Stitches are bitches!” She winks at me.
“You think you deserved it?” I ask, surprised by her response.
“No, but I have learned alot about myself in the last five years and to be honest, I wasn’t a good Lycan. Maybe it did teach me a lesson. Maybe it was already written in my story so that I could help you.” She gives me one of her wide smiles
“You believe that?”
She shrugs her shoulders at me and drops the basket of eggs on the counter. I watch as she expertly pulls up her long blonde hair into a bun. My hair now made me look like a toilet brush with how short and spikey it is.
“It doesn’t matter what I believe, Blair. But we do know I’m right about some things, you survived without that stupid drip bag. You didn't want to believe that either.”
I look at my arm where the connection tube had been, a lovely giant purple bruise still lingered on my arm, though it was shrinking day by day and part of it had turned a putrid green colour. Humans were so feeble and I was one now. I couldn't be reckless anymore.
“That’s all I need to know.”
“Seriously? Why don’t you want to know more?”
“It’s not about what I want to know, it’s about you telling me the truth.”
“Would you have even known if I lied?” I ask curiously
“You're human now, of course I would have.”
****
As the sun sets, Sammie lights the fire. It gives a warm glow to the small sitting room and I decide to bite the bullet and tell her.

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....
