The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 346
Damien
“Daddy?” Dottie had dropped her spoon in her cereal bowl and was staring at me with wide bright green eyes and a stuck out bottom lip.
“You should finish your breakfast. You have a big day today.”
She screws up her nose. “I can’t eat.”
“And why is that?”
“You’re sad.” She mutters with a tiny frown “And if I go to school, I can’t keep an eye on you.”
“Is that right?”
“Uh huh!”
“Well, I have a lot to do today so you don’t need to worry about me. I’m taking the oath later to officially be part of Black Shadow. And it’s important that you start school.”
“Why?”
“Because you are a clever little girl. Besides, school is here in Black Shadow so I won’t be far and you get to hang out with kids your own age.”
“If I’m clever, I don’t need to go to school. Neah didn’t and she is an Alpha!” She pouts at me and hugs herself
I sigh, Dottie had an answer for everything these days.
“But I wish I had got to go to school.” Neah mutters as she makes her way into the kitchen with her boys toddling along next to her. It’s not as fun learning to read and write when you are an adult.”
Dottie hikes her shoulders up around her ears. “Fine, I will go!”
We had been making plans for this for about a week. A lot of the Lycans had brought young kids, pulling them from schools to be here. They were worried that their children would fall behind so Dane had agreed to set up a small school. And I think now, Dottie’s nerves were settling in.
She turns to Neah, “Will you look after Daddy? He’s sad.”
Neah’s blue eyes flash in my direction as she settles Logan into a high chair. “Sure.”
I wish Dottie would stop telling everyone I was sad. Raven was dead, that was the end of it.
“Do you think my other Daddy will come with us and walk me to school?”
“I can ask, but you need to finish your breakfast. I know you Dottie. You will be hungry again in ten minutes.”
She gives me a guilty smile and starts shovelling cereal into her mouth.
Dottie holds my hand with a tight grip as we walk across the grounds to the small building that had been turned into a school. She was more jittery than usual. Her eyes darted all over the place. Probably because Brax hadn’t turned up like he said he was going too.
I make sure she is settled before I leave, though the way the parents are looking at her doesn’t go unnoticed. I was starting to think it was a good idea Brax didn’t turn up. He would have shot every single person in this room and maybe he knew that.
Kissing dottie on the cheek, I promise to pick her up later and make my way to the teacher.
“Any problems, anything at all, give me a call immediately.” I slide my number across the table to her.
The sooner I take this fucking oath, the better.
“Wait!” Ryken calls as I stride back towards the house.
“What?”
“I’m worried about my boys.”
“You’re their parent, you should be.” I snap and carry on walking.
“You know that is not what I’m talking about! And you are one of her parents in that weird relationship you have going on.”
I glare at him. “She is a little girl that has probably seen more horrors than all the kids in that classroom combined. But more importantly, she just wants to learn. Why do you have a problem with that?”
“Damien, you know exactly what I’m talking about. She’s a Hunter of our kind. She is a threat.”

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....
