“I agree.”
She smiles at me. “Oh, you regret marking her?”
“No, I regret letting you live.” I turn around, walking away. “Keep your distance, Veronica.”
“You can’t just walk away, Dane!” She moans, running alongside me.
“I can do what I want, Veronica.”
“Why are you being like this? You used to care about me.”
“Used to. Like you said, it was a long time ago, there have been others since you and not once have I come back to you. Why do you think now will be any different?”
“Because, because it’s me.”
‘Has she not come up with any new lines.’ Aero groans. ‘It’s always the same fucking story. Please, we were good together, you let me live, blah blah blah. She really needs to get over herself.”
“Has she slept with Jenson? Is that why you banished him?”
“No. Stop trying to dig for information.”
She purses her red lips, keeping pace with me as I walk back towards the house.
“Veronica, go away.”
“I want to meet the woman that has captured your heart.”
Coming to a stop, I glare at her. “You want to meet my mate?”
“Yes, I want to meet your bride.”
“She’s my mate, Veronica. She isn’t just a bride, she is my true mate.”
“You found her?” Her voice drops to a whisper as she stares at me with wide eyes.
“Yes.”
“NO!”
I was so tempted to kick her out, but so far, she hadn’t done anything wrong apart from make a few comments.
“Have you got a job?” I ask
“I have. It’s nothing major, just a personal assistant to someone in the city.” She digs into her pockets and pulls out the credit card I had given her. “Here.” She gives me a smile and hands the credit card over. “Guess I don’t need this anymore.”
“What game are you trying to play Veronica?”
“No game. Like I said, it’s time to stop exploring. It’s time to set up home. I am a Wolf after all and we are useless without a pack.”
‘She’s done something.’ Aero mutters.
“What did you do, Veronica?”
“Nothing.” She holds her hands up. “I swear I’m telling the truth.”
‘Bullshit!’ Aero snaps and I had to agree with him. The longest Veronica stayed in one place was when we were together. And even then she was desperate to go off to some far away country. She had never been concerned with needing to belong to a pack. It was one of the things I had liked about her.
“Why did you come to the hospital and not directly to the pack house? Are you in trouble?”

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 ☺️...
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....
