That was a harsh thing to call a child. Though Dorothy had said he was bad.
She scratches at the wood of the chair, “Last night, I felt this need to protect the family. I checked everyone and set up camp outside Kades room just in case. Ryken found me this morning. The kid is nuts. He tried telling Ryken that I hit him to get me into trouble.”
“Did you?”
“No! I know I have a bad reputation, but no. Besides, Ryken saw.”
“You understand why I asked?”
She nods at me. “You are one of many that hates me. Once upon a time, I wouldn’t have cared, but I’m learning to accept it. Because I know that’s how it will always be. I made a lot of enemies.”
“You did. But right now, you are not the problem we need to deal with.”
She jumps up from the chair. “What… the fuck…. is that?”
I turn around to see a small black Lycan creeping towards me and laugh. “So someone can escape too.” I mutter as I pick Evrin up.
“Are you telling me that’s your kid?”
“No.”
“One of Neah’s?”
“Yes.”
“He can shift?”
“Is there something wrong with your eyesight? Obviously he can shift!” I retort
“But he is a kid. A baby.”
“And you had your abilities taken away from you. There is a lot of weird stuff happening in the world.”
“Does anyone else know?” She presses
“No, and it needs to stay that way.” I stare her down until she agrees.
“Are they going to bind him?” She follows me inside my home.
“Why would they do that?”
I nod, “And she knows about Evrin. He climbed out of the cot and found me sitting outside talking to her.”
He shrugs his shoulders, “It’s going to have to come out eventually. But I guess if it comes from her, no one will believe her. Did she tell you what happened last night?”
“Yes. It has to be Cooper, right?”
He sits next to me on the sofa. “It seems likely. It might explain why he has such an issue with Dorothy.”
“Blair spoke as if she thinks Kade is already Rogue. Is that something we need to consider? He’s not thirteen, but then this one has his Lycan already. What are you planning to do with him?”
“Ryken wants to bind him.”
“How is that going to help him? If he doesn’t even have his Lycan, it’s going to make no difference. How he is acting right now, it isn’t going to change that either. Can’t we get Brax to figure out what his issue is and put a stop to it that way?”
He goes silent.
“What is it?”
“Brax left. He left and Maddie went with him.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
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....
