“Why would we tell him?” I ask
Dane’s hand wraps around my wrist. “I need to talk to you.” He pulls me away with urgency and doesn’t stop until we get to Mallory and Eric’s home.
“Sit down.” He tells me as soon as we walk through the door.
“Dane, what’s going on?”
“There is something that I need to tell you. I have been trying to figure out how for a long time and now, it seems like my hand is being forced.”
“You’re trying to tell me you had a twin.”
“You kn…. Klaus told you.” He frowns
I shrug my shoulders and nod. “I don’t know why you didn’t tell me, especially when I got pregnant with the boys, but it would have been nice to know if multiples run in the family, to prepare me for whatever is in here.” I pat my stomach and realise how hungry I am. I hadn’t eaten for almost twelve hours.
“It’s more than that. Did he tell you what happened to them?”
“Stillborn.” I feel the lump in my throat. It must be every mothers worst nightmare
He shakes his head at me.
“They weren’t?”
“No. It was the story I was told. But it wasn’t the truth. It’s not a new thing I have discovered either and the reason why Eris is freaking out is because Silas is my twin. I’m guessing by Eris’s reaction, we look alike.”
'I'mdreaming, right?' i mutter to Nyx.
‘Nope.’ Nyx mutters. ‘This is very much real life.’
My eyes lock with his“Are you telling me that you have a twin out there that none of us know anything about?”
He dips his head.
I open my mouth to say something and all that comes out is a puff of air. Should I be mad? Probably. But I think mostly it’s disbelief that he has never told me.
Pushing myself off the sofa, I make my way into the kitchen. I needed to eat no matter how many questions were being fired at me by Nyx.
Dane follows me. “I’m sure you have questions.”
“You are right about that!” I blow out my cheeks
Maybe I hadn’t spent all my anger on killing Cooper because I didn’t have anything left in the tank or maybe it was because I found it almost impossible to be angry with Dane these days.
“I don’t know why he is here or where he is. I will have to speak to Eris.” He mutters
“No one else knows the truth about him?”
“I confided in Eric, but that is all. Everyone else that is older or were around when I was born, were all told the same thing. That I was the only one to survive. This could ruin my status, Neah.”
I shake my head. “No it won’t. The Wolves, they trust you and because of that thrust, they accepted me and the other Lycans, well most of the Wolves did. You won’t lose them because of a dirty secret.” I take my sandwich and sit down at the small table, still covered in Cooper's blood.
“I understand that you are angry.” He mutters
“I’m not angry.” I take another bite. “Confused, definitely but not angry. Maybe I’m on some kind of high from killing Cooper.” I smile. “I have a half sibling and a cousin that I never knew existed. It’s only fitting that you have a messed up family situation too.”
He knocks the small table over, sending my sandwich and the plate across the room. His hands settle on my hips and he lifts me off the chair, pressing his lips against mine. “Do you know how much I love you?”

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