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.

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...
OMG! This is stolen and the person who has uploaded it doesn't have the authors permission! It's disgusting tou can steal someone's hard earned work! Please come find the true author on FB Taylor west pack and this one will never be finished....
I love this book! It was a sample read for an advertised app that you must pay to keep reading. I wasn't willing to pay for each chapter, so I searched and found this site. Something I'd like to see more of is time passing. We had a little during Neah’s pregnancy, and there was a recent mention that Neah had been in the pack for two years; I didn't know that much time had passed. Until I heard it had been two years, I thought all the events were happening back to back. That's why it would be nice to have a sense of the passage of time—just a thought....
Is there an update when the next chapter will be available?...
