The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 396
Mallory
I am more than overwhelmed.
Neah keeps her eyes on me. I don’t think she is waiting for an answer, instead I think she is watching to see how I process her words.
My mouth opens and closes several times as I struggle to form any words. I’m also pretty certain that if I had been holding anything but Luca, I would have dropped it.
Forgiveness was something I was never expecting. Never. She had made that very clear that day she finally heard me out.
I clear my throat, hoping that my brain will engage my mouth muscles. “You do?”
She bobs her head at me.
“Why now?” I could feel more tears creeping along my eyelids
“You are not who you were. I’m not who I was. We have both come a long way.” She shrugs her shoulders at me like it’s no big deal. “The person you were back then, she only ever cared about herself.” She smiles to herself. “I killed the man who shot you because it made me so angry that I thought I had lost you too.”
I hadn’t thought about it like that and she had never mentioned anything about it. Brax had told me that the guy was aiming for Neah and that was why I assumed she killed the guy. Not because he had hurt me.
“You have no idea what it means to hear you say that.” I whisper, still trying to process the weird sense of relief that I’m feeling. I had no idea of the guilt I had been holding on to. I guess I had just grown so used to it, that now it's gone, I feel strange, but in a good way.
“It’s funny.” Neah shifts her gaze to the window. “I never thought I would see you again, I definitely didn’t think we would be living in the same pack.”
“Or that you outrank me, big style.” I add and see her lips curve up
“I never had a friend until Raven, and even if she were still alive, I don’t think we would be as friendly as you and I have become.”
“She cared about you.” I offer
“For a while, but then…..Anyway, do you accept?”
“Hell fucking yeah!” My response makes Luca jump, causing him to cry as Neah laughs.
I stay with Neah for a few hours while she mulls over Dane’s reaction to Evrin shifting. Though I’m certain it’s just because it’s something he wasn’t expecting. In the moment he was probably excited and then reality set in. It will be harder to protect him now and some people may not like it.

Next chapter??? Must know what happens!!...
These new chapters ate shorter than paragraphs. Makes reading this story quite annoying at the moment...
So... after 546 now what? I know this cannot just be the end of the story? So when is there a new chapter? I've literally read this in 4 days!...
Hi, I’m usually a silent reader, and first of all, I love the story, but is it possible to avoid the blue texts? Cuz a lot of us are missing a lot of the story due to the texts not loading. I am missing a lot no matter have many times I try to reload. If not, that’s okay as well. Thank you for the amazing entertainment and content...
Loving this story! Can’t wait for you to add more 😁...
Is it just me or are the blue text not loading and every other time I try the captcha it pops up a new tab? Other than that live the story...
I love this book!!!...

I love the way you are continuing the story. It's easy to follow, easy to pause, and easy to get back on track with. Me having three little children, it's hard to find "me time" but when I do I get caught up with this book. I love it!!!!...
