I still had more questions, but I think this was his way of saying the conversation was over. I almost hope that he is reading my mind so he knows how frustrated I am.
His eyes flicker to me, but he doesn’t speak as we walk through the house and out the back door. He leads me across the grounds, nodding his head at various people but still doesn’t speak to me.
Stopping in front of a house, I couldn’t help but notice how it was run down in comparison to all the others here. Run down was the wrong term, not as perfect as the other homes.
Giant vines ran all over the building, snaking their way around the windows. Weeds stood tall in front of the house and the path that led to the door was full of cracks.
Alpha Dane raps on the door and pushes it open before someone even answers. He tugs me into the dimly lit house, giving my hand a little reassuring squeeze.
“Ah Dane.” A man a similar age to Alpha Dane, steps out from a room, knocking over a stack of books and sends them crashing to the floor.
His dark hair is tied up into a bun on top of his head. He peers at me with his deep green eyes. “You must be Neah. And you are right on time.” He smiles, sticking his hand out at me. “I’m Klaus, your tutor!” He beams at me, his hand still hovering in the air.
His eyes flicker to the bright orange earbuds I had in my ears. “Ah, the memories.”
‘He’s safe.’ Alpha Danes' voice fills my head.
Taking Klaus’s hand, he frantically shakes mine. “This way.” He tugs me past the fallen pile of books and sits me at a small table.
“Dane tells me that you can’t read or write."
I shake my head at him and glance at Alpha Dane.
‘You will be fine, I will be right here,’ His voice fills my head again.
Klaus moves around, pulling random books out of the random stacks all over the room..
“You are not really a talker, are you?” He asks curiously as he stands behind me, leaning over my shoulder, practically trapping me.
“Could…could I get some water?” I ask quietly, just wanting him to move away.
“Sure.” He chirps, moving away.
I use the moment to get out of the chair and prevent myself feeling trapped again.
“He will be back soon, you don’t need to worry.” He hands a glass of water to me with a smile and then holds his hands up. “I’m not going to do anything.”
My eyes flash back to the chair.

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 ☺️...
