The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 458
Damien steps out of the house with a scarf partially covering his face, the remnants of smoke littered the remainder of his face.
“I thought you might be with Dorothy?”
He pulls the scarf from the bottom half of his face. “Athena picked her up seeing as her biological father has walked away.” His annoyance, evident. I understood why he was pissed. I couldn’t imagine walking away from my boys.
Damien looks back to the house. “I’m sorry.” He mutters
“Everyone is alive, that’s what counts.”
“Do you know who did this?”
“Yes, and I still can’t quite believe it.”
He raises a brow at me.
“Kade.”
“As in the kid who attacked Dottie? That little shit?”
“Yes and I’m about to go and tell his father.”
“I don’t agree on many things with Brax, but that kid needed his ass whooping a long time ago.”
“The problem is, he has now done a runner.”

Ryken looks around me when he opens the door. Clearly expecting to see his little bastard of a son. “You’re alone?”
“We need to have a conversation about Kade?”
“Was he hurt in the explosion? I would know if he was, right?”
“It’s more serious than that. Maybe it’s a good idea if I come in.”
He stands back to let me in the house. I see Blair sitting at the table playing a game with Ryken’s youngest son. Her brown eyes momentarily pause on me before continuing the game.
“Calihan, Blair, can you go to your rooms please.” Ryken requests
“Actually, Blair can stay. She might be useful."
There’s a brief flicker of fear, and she does her best to hide it. Which isn’t very well at all.
“Is Tara about?” I ask. Kade's mother needed to know what her son was capable of.
“And so was I, but what he is doing, that’s a whole step further than I have ever achieved. I never blew up someone's home.”
Ryken sits on one of the wooden chairs at the table. His hands curl into fists. He slams one down on the wooden table, making Blair jump.
“Where would he go?” I ask
“He is eight.” Ryken protests
“He doesn’t have friends.” Blair mutters. “He doesn’t go anywhere but school or somewhere with Mum and Ryken.”
“He must have done at some point else how would he have met Cooper?”
“I have to find him.” Ryken frowns. “I have to bring him back and make him understand.” He gets to his feet. “Tara will lose herself if another child goes off the rails.” I see the way he looks at Blair as he speaks.
“You won’t find him.” Blair murmurs, staring down at her hands on the table. “If Cooper promised to help Kade. He would be waiting for him. One of Cooper’s big things, he doesn’t break promises. He drummed that into me over and over.”
“You think Cooper would have been waiting for him?”
Blair bobs her head. “Kade did the dirty work for him. Cooper will offer him a reward. A prize, something that Kade wants. It will make Kade feel like he did the right thing even though he knew it was wrong.”
Her eyes flicker up to me. “Think about it. Contracts give you a sense of satisfaction, Dane and you offer something in return. Protection. Alliance. Whatever it is to suit you. It’s probably the same for Kade. A contract of sorts, only it doesn’t truly favour my brother, but Cooper.”

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....
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....
