Mallory
I got shot. I got fucking shot. The bastard shot me in the stomach.
My head is fuzzy, yet being shot is the only thing that is clear.
“She’s waking up.” I hear Eric and I hear the relief in his tone.
Warm fingers lock around my wrist and another set presses against my neck. “Pulse is strong.”
I squint one eye and see Klaus smiling at me.
“I was shot.” I mutter, opening my eyes fully. I’m met with silence. My fingers move to my stomach. Bandages cover my entire torso. I start to pick at them. I needed to know how bad it was. I was pregnant.
“Mal stop.” Eric’s hands grab mine, pulling them back as I let out a whimper
“But I’m pregnant!” It wasn’t how I wanted to tell him. It was supposed to be a surprise. I wanted to tell him tonight, when everyone is on the pack run.
It’s funny how silence can be deafening. It takes me seconds to connect the dots. I had been shot in the stomach. The bandages that wrapped around me suggested that my wounds were extensive. Which could only mean one thing, I had lost our pup.
“Mallory….” Klaus starts
“No. I already know. I was just….” I turn my head towards Eric. “I’m sorry.” I'm trying to hold it together but my chest is tight and my lungs burn with the need to scream.
I could see it on his face, there was something else he needed to tell me.
Eric squeezes my hand. “The shot did too much damage, Mal. It, um… it….” I had never seen him lost for words. The news was worse than me just losing a pup.
“It’s like Raven’s leg.” I whisper, knowing what he couldn't say. “It can’t heal.” Not only had I lost the pup. I had lost the ability to have them.
“Mal, I’m sor….”
“It’s fine.” My body was trembling. It wasn’t fine, but I had to focus on something else. “Is Brax dead?” He was the fucker that shot me.

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....
