I try looking over my shoulder at Dane. “He’s bullshitting me, right. This is just some twisted mind game to get back at me before you kill me, right?”
“No.”
I turn back to glare at Abraxas. “Then how were you not able to tell she was a Lycan when we first came here. I call bullshit.”
“I’m still trying to figure that out. She covered her scent and somehow she concealed her true identity. But now, it’s wearing off. And she is trapped in the dungeons.” Brax smirks at me. “In fact I have bets that she either wants Cooper to herself or she is the one running the shit show.”
I shake my head. It had to be a trap, some kind of trick. To lure me back here, but they still hadn’t killed me. I knew tricks, I had operated a fair few and I promised myself that after Cooper no one else would succeed. Someone was lying and it wasn’t me.
“She took me in.” I whisper. “She can’t be a Lycan. She told me what happened to her. She has evidence.”
“Part of the trap.” He shrugs his shoulders. “And you fell for it, big time.”
“So what if she did. Why do you care? You could have just told me to go fuck myself.”
“Because like you said, you brought her here and now she is our problem.”
I sit in stunned silence, they had to be wrong. She told me how she escaped. She told me all the things that were done to her. She showed me her box of stuff, the gown, the empty drip bag. What she did to escape.
“And the villain falls.” Abraxas laughs as he spins my chair back around to make me face Dane.
Dane watches me with his jaw clenched. His crimson eyes locked on to mine. It was impossible for me to tell how he was going to react, but the waiting is killing me.
“Go and get Neah.” He mutters to Damien.
I keep my focus on Dane as Damien brushes by me. Minutes go by and no one has said anything. Eventually, two sets of footsteps make their way into the office behind me.
Neah walks around to the other side of the desk, sitting in the large chair, partially hidden by Dane.
“I know you don’t want to listen to me.” I start
The only blue eye I can see focusses on me. “Everyone leave.” Neah demands
Hands land on my shoulders, making me jump. “Looks like you are getting exactly what you want.”
I pick at the material on the edge of the chair’s arm. My arms were still bound to it and the more the nerves set in, the more I looked for something to do to help calm the nerves. The picking of material helped.
“I heard. You should have left and taken Samara with you.”
“You believe Abraxas?”
“I was the one who suggested it to him. She reminded me of someone from my past. Doing all the talking, trying to control the situation, I would say you were about three days away from being turned into a punching bag. I stopped Brax from killing you so that I could get more answers.”
“Samara isn’t…Is she still alive?”
“For now.”
“Are you going to kill her?”
“Soon.”
I take a deep breath. “Why haven’t you killed me?”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
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....
This is stolen and as such, a lot of my story is being left out/adjusted. The true version is on Inkitt...
