The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 37
Dane
She had gone back to her protective state. Barely talking and when she did, it was either ‘yes’, ‘no’ or that phrase that I hate, ‘I’m fine’. She had completely shut down and I can’t even figure out what it was that I had said. I had only told her the truth. Was the truth too much for her?
In my office, Raven stares at me. “Are you sure you didn’t do anything?” she demands. “She was chatting to me and now, nothing.”
“I just spoke the truth. I reminded her that she wanted the deal, that she came to me. I told her that I didn’t want anyone else touching her.”
“Why did you even make the deal if she is already your mate?”
“She doesn’t know.”
“You are an idiot!” She snaps as she drops down in the chair. “I don’t even know what you could possibly be thinking. Out of all the brides you have had, why do you have to try and push away the one that I actually like? Scratch that, the one who is actually your mate?”
“Raven!”
‘I agree with her!’ Aero spits
“I’m not trying to push her away." I snap
“Well you are doing a damn good job!”
‘You don’t know why she is upset either!’ I remind her, “And you need to watch your tongue.”
“I’m talking to you as my brother, not my Alpha!” Raven scowls. “I bet even Aero agrees with me that you are an idiot!”
I give her a warning glare to tone it down.
“She isn’t like us.” Raven tells me. “She wasn’t raised like us. And you seem to be missing the point.”
She doesn’t answer and when I look up, I see that she isn’t in the shower. But sat on the floor behind the bath. Her bare knees pulled up to her chest as she rested her head on them. Her eyes are closed, her lips parted a little. She was asleep and this time, she wasn’t faking it.
She hadn’t even fully stripped before deciding that taking a nap behind the bath was a good idea.
Quietly turning the shower off, I squeeze in behind the bath and lift her off the floor. Her head rolls back over my arm, exposing her neck. I was so tempted to mark her and claim her but I just about manage to push the thought aside as I put her in the bed. It wouldn’t be fair to do that to her while she was asleep.
Moving away, Neah suddenly grabs my hand. “Stay.” She sleepily whispers, tugging me towards her.
Kicking off my shoes, I slide into the bed behind her. Pulling her back flush against my chest. Trying to ignore how her naked ass was pressed against my cock.
After a few moments, she shuffles away. Rolling on my back, I sigh, grateful that I had some morals.
Leaving her to sleep, I head outside to find Eric kicking a ball around with his sons but as soon as he sees my face, he tells them to go to their grandparents.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
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 ☺️...
