The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 437
Klaus
“That doesn’t make any sense. How can it not be him?” Neah demands. “I watched him stab you. I watched you kill him. You stabbed him in the eye!”
“It’s….”
“Are you saying this was one of his abilities?” Ryken asks
“Yes.” I look to Dane, hoping that maybe he would be able to explain it better than I could.
“Are you trying to tell me it’s a twin?” Neah searches my face, looking for an answer.
I turn back to the fire. Not even a hint of an aroma of burning flesh. It’s what I would have expected if it was him.
“Dane?” Neah asks. “I don’t understand.”
“Klaus didn’t kill him.” He tells her
“I’m right here. I saw it happen.”
“There’s something called astral projection.” Ryken explains
“Astral projection? He stabbed Klaus!” Neah mutters
Dane cups her face and tilts it up until she is facing him. “Remember how I told you Witches have different capabilities?”
“Yes but….”
“He was never here, Neah. But his projection was strong enough that he was able to wield a weapon. It is why you can’t smell any burning flesh. It is why when the fire burns out the body will either remain or it will disappear for good, leaving just the blade.”
On cue, the blade clatters to the ground. Turning to the fire, I watch it slowly burn out. Nothing but the blade remained, just as Dane had said.
“So he can be in two places at once?” Neah asks as Dane moves towards the blade.
“Yes, though it could be more depending on the strength he has.” I reply
“If he wasn’t here, how was I able to force him to let go of you?”
“Because you did find his weak spot. From what I know, projecting takes a lot of work. When he thought he had killed me, it did weaken him. The problem is, he knows that now and is likely going to find a way to make sure that never happens again.”
“So if he wasn’t coming after us before, he is now?” Ryken asks
“No.” I groan
“Why not?”
“He projected himself.”
“Different.” He mutters. “Where’s Dane?”
“Gone to ask Samara some questions.” Neah tells him.
“Oh shit, so the fucker lost you and his sister. Right now he is probably beyond angry. I know I would be." He purses his lips, "Now can Neah and I go and kill him?”
“You have just said it yourself. He is beyond angry. Do you think you will be able to just walk in there and kill him?”
“Who said anything about walking in? I have guns with longer range than a pistol.”
My eyes shift to Neah. Ultimately it wasn’t my decision to make, but I was hoping Neah would see how stupid this idea was.
She shakes her head, “Brax, I know you think that’s the easy way. But I don’t. What if the one you shoot is just another one of his projections? What if it’s a trap? What if it is exactly what he wants us to do?”

Execcelent! Loved it!...
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....
