“Keys.” I mutter, holding out my hand for them. I wasn’t letting Brax drive after that fucking car chase. I didn’t need to die in something so meaningless as a car crash.
Brax rolls his eyes and hands them over. “Pussy.” He mutters with a smirk
“Really? Do you want my help or not?” I tut back at him. “Because I’m more than happy to go back to my mate who is looking after Dottie!”
“Fine.” He snaps, walking around to the passenger side.
“It annoys you that Dottie likes Samara, doesn’t it?” I muse and feel him glare at me.
“Acceptance takes time. You can’t deny that.”
Turning the car around, I head in the direction of the beach. It was a good distance yet and the only company I had was a man who likes to kill my kind for fun. He was useful, I knew that, but it doesn’t mean he won’t suddenly change his mind and try to put a bullet in my head. If he ever tries taking me down, I will take him down with me.
And he probably knew that.
“Are we certain that Silas doesn’t know about Serkans location?” He asks, fumbling with the radio
“You were the one who told Dane that Silas was telling the truth.”
“He was, about the invitation. Or as we now know, the truth he believed.”
“Neah said soemthing similar earlier.” I frown. “About how if you don’t know differently, you believe it. How it was her truth.”
“She isn’t wrong. The brain works in funny ways. She also didn’t have Nyx to help her find her way.”
I look over to him as he continues trying to decide on a radio station. "Will you choose a damn channel!"
"There are situations.” He mutters with a scowl. "In Neahs case, everyone around her followed the same pattern. In Moonshine, no one was allowed to shift around her, so she never saw what they looked like. She was fed bullshit on a day to day basis. If your mind doesn’t know any better, it becomes your truth whether it’s a lie or not. Your brain has the ability to alter your memories. It's like raising a child to believe certain things. If she had known the truth, her life could be very different right now.”
“Why?”
“Just stop. I need a moment.”
I pull off to the side of the road. “What now? We need to get to Silas.”
“It’s rare for me to say this, but I think you might be right.” He tells me
I snort, “About what?”
“Neah hasn’t reached her full potential.” He slaps the dash, smiling. “Even after all this time, there is still a part of her that hasn’t been unlocked.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
Execcelent! Loved it!...
What about 80? I can only go up to 79...
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....
