“Oh you know how I love to wind your sister up. Nothing ever changes with her. I bet it drives Salem nuts.”
She didn’t know, she wasn’t around to learn that Raven and Salem were no longer a thing
“She’s happy.” I lie
Veronica doesn’t respond. She’s staring up at the house. As I look over my shoulder, I see Neah standing on the doorstep. Raven and Eric stand either side of her.
“Is that her?” Veronica whispers
“Yes.”
She grips my upper arm. “She isn’t much to look at is she!”
“Let go.”
“You think she can take me out?” She muses.
That wasn’t what I was worried about. I could sense Neah’s jealousy from here. If she shifts, I won’t be able to stop it. Raven and Eric won’t be able to stop it. And none of us knew what Neah is really capable of.
Grabbing Veronica’s hand, I bend it back towards herself. She whimpers at the pain of her arm being in the wrong position.
“Get out of my sight!” I snarl at her.
“I’m going. I’m going.” She frowns in Neah’s direction before stomping off while cradling her arm.
My eyes lock with Neah’s as I approach the house.
“Is she leaving?” Raven asks
“No. I mutter without looking at her. “She’s decided to settle.”
Neah doesn’t react. She stands completely still, her eyes remain locked on mine. She wasn’t angry, she seemed to be confused about the jealousy she is feeling.
“You are letting her stay?” Raven questions me. “After all that she has done. She’s a lunatic.”
“Yes, I agree she has made some poor choices. But none of us are exactly innocent. Well, almost none of us. If she tries anything, then she will be gone. I have warned her.”
And still, Neah doesn’t speak.
Raven brushes past me, “I hope you know what you are doing, Dane. Don’t let her ruin this.”
“Go inside.” I tell Neah, “I just need to speak to Eric.”
She stops spinning the bottle and her blue eyes flash up at me. “Why?”
“Because of that.” I point to the mark on her neck. “It will make you feel a lot of things that you have most likely never experienced before. Eric tells me that Raven told you everything about Veronica.”
“She told….told me alot.” She stutters and a small crease appears on her forehead. “She’s…..she is very pretty.”
‘She is so angry.’ Aero mutters
“She’s not you.” I tell her.
“Did….did you tell her about me?”
“I told her I claimed you and I told her you were my true mate.”
She frowns at me. “There’s something I don’t understand. Raven didn’t say.”
“You want to know why I let her live!”

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....
