The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 403
“We are trying, Blair. We want a life here. The Wolves are not bad people, well, maybe the odd one, but most of them are happy with the way things are run here. The boys go to school. Your mum helps out at the bakery when she hasn’t got Braelyn attached to her. Alpha Dane lets me work on the gate now.”
“Braelyn?”
“Your sister.” He smiles to himself.
“Can I meet her?”
He shakes his head, “Not while you are down here and not until you are no longer considered a threat.”
“A threat? I can’t smell anything other than my own stench. I can’t hear anything other than your words. I can’t heal. I almost passed out and I get this weird feeling in my stomach, yet you think I’m a threat.”
“Then prove everyone wrong.”
He turns to leave and then turns back, taking an apple out of his jacket. Placing it just inside of my bars, he sighs. “Here, it’s not much, but I could hear your stomach from the top of the steps. If you want a chance Blair, I suggest you do everything they ask of you.”
He didn’t know I already had a job.
“What if that isn’t enough?”
“Then I guess you didn’t try hard enough.”
I stare at the apple for sometime. Ryken had no reason to be kind to me. No reason to tell me to prove myself. If anything, I thought he would be grateful that I was going to be killed.
Taking the apple, I retreat to the back of my cell, letting the shadows wash over me. I don’t eat the apple, but I do roll it in my fingers, trying to figure out what I can do to get something useful out of Sammie.
Time passes differently down here. It’s dark all the time unless they leave a light on. The only way I could tell if it was night or day is when one of us was taken out. So I had no idea how long it was before Sammie returned.
She is full on crying as Abraxas shoves her down the stairs. And this time, it didn’t sound fake. As she comes into view, my mouth drops open. He had shaved her head right down to the skin. Sammie is balder than I am.
Strands of her long blonde hair still clung to the dirty sweatshirt she is wearing and as Abraxas pushes her into the cell, she rushes to her own dark corner.
“Maybe next time you won’t lie.” He sneers as he turns away, not bothering to stop to look at me.
“Sammie?” I whisper when the door closes and we are left alone.
Her cries fill the air. “He shaved my head. He took it all.”
“Why?”
“He kept saying I was lying. That I’m hiding things. He shaved it as punishment.”
“It will grow back.” It was what she had always said to me when I found myself mindlessly running my hands through the fluff that was my hair.
“He’s cruel.” She snarls.
“He’s punishing us. He can’t shave my hair because it’s already gone.”

Next chapter??? Must know what happens!!...
These new chapters ate shorter than paragraphs. Makes reading this story quite annoying at the moment...

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 😁...
