Klaus
Tying my hair up, I grab the clipboard to check the stock of medicine. Raven had always kept a thorough check of everything and if anything was running low, she would have Dane order in some. I felt like it was something I could do to keep her memory alive.
Being the new pack doctor was not in my plans, but I guess, out of everyone that Raven trained, I was the next best thing and the pack needed a doctor, especially with the amount of Wolves and Lycans here now.
Checking everything off, I make a list. I had used a lot of supplies with Mallory’s gun wound and now Maddie.
I hear the front door swing open and close, sticking my head around the corner, I see no one. I smell no one else. It must have been the wind. I was used to being alone, but somehow this place just made me feel more lonely.
Grabbing a fresh IV bag, I head to Maddie’s room, only to find her bed empty.
“Maddie?” I call out, maybe she had woken and was using the bathroom. “MADISON?”
It’s deathly silent and for a brief moment, I wonder if it's her that went through the front door. That was until I heard the small moan. Pulling open the bathroom door, she scares the shit out of me.
She’s passed out, with her face pressed against the side of the toilet, a smear of blood against the porcelain. Rolling her over, I see she has managed to rip some of her stitches. Brax is going to kill me at this rate, it wasn’t the first time she had done it and last time he had threatened to cut my dick off.
Lifting her from the floor, I carry her back to bed and set up a new IV, clean up her wound and restitch her face, hopefully Brax wouldn’t notice.
As I finish, she mutters Cooper's name. The guy that did this to her. It was worse than cruel. I thought being bound was bad enough. Then to learn that Neah was bound four times was just sickening, but this was…. There wasn’t really a word to describe it. Though he definitely deserved to rot.
Maddie starts to cough and rolls on to her side, reaching for the jug of water.
“I’ve got it.” I rush around the side of the bed before she knocks it over.
I fill the cup and pop in a straw for her. Helping her to sit up, she lets out a groan as her deep chestnut eyes find mine. “Where’s Brax?” Her words come out in a croak.
“He just had to go and help Dane, he will be back in a little bit.”
“I’m safe?”
“Yes.”
I was sure Brax had already told her. Though it was starting to sound like her memory had been affected.
“Cooper took away your Lycan abilities. Do you remember that?"
She frowns at me as her lips part a little. Slowly she nods her head but then it turns into a shake.
“You can’t heal anymore, Madison.”
“You’re wrong.” She snaps in defence. “I can heal, I’ve always been able to heal.”.
I lift her arm to show her the purple bruises that painted her skin. “You have been here for almost four days.”
She rotates her arm and shifts her gaze to her other arm which is just as bad. “He pinned me down. I got away. I ran. I ran here.”
It sounded more like she was trying to convince herself.

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...
