The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 547
Neah
“Athena is happy to have the boys another night.” Dane tells me as he takes off his shirt.
“I should be with them.” I frown
“Another night is not going to hurt them.” Dane replies as I start to get out of bed. “And you need to rest.” He leans down and softly kisses me. Lifting my tee, he tugs at it and kisses my bump. “Now tell me, why are you wearing clothes to bed?”
“Just in case.” No one wants to be caught out in the middle of the night while naked.
“You won’t need them.” He smiles at me
I tug the tee back over my bump, “It’s hard to rest when I know that Serkan is somewhere nearby. He can't have just disappeared into thin air. Have you heard anything?” As much as I trusted Damien, I knew he would link Dane and not me if there was a problem. Especially while I was supposed to be resting.
‘It’s like they have forgotten that we have been pregnant before.’ Nyx murmurs in annoyance
‘I know. But I guess with everything that happened last time, everyone is just being extra cautious.’
She huffs, though I felt the exact same. Apart from being ridiculously tired all the time, I felt fine.
After years of being left to battle through life on my own, it was still hard to accept that there are people who care for me.
I look over to Dane and watch him in silence as he finishes undressing. When he gets into bed with me, his hand plants itself on my lower back and he pulls me in closer, until his face is inches away from mine.
“Whether you are pregnant or not, I would still want to make sure you are safe.” He whispers in the dark. “And before you tell me that you can protect yourself, I already know, but it doesn’t change my desire to keep all of you safe.”
“Do you think he will try again soon?” I ask quietly. I hadn’t seen Serkan at the gas station, just the aftermath. Only Dane had managed to get a small glimpse of him. While I hid in the bathroom like the scared little girl I used to be.
“He knows that you are pregnant. Thankfully, he still doesn’t know about the boys. If he wants you dead, he will probably try again while you are pregnant.”
“And if he finds out about the boys, he will come after them.” I mutter and see him frown. “Before that happens, I will rip his heart from his chest.” I mumble and curl into him.
*****
The bed is empty when I wake. Letting me sleep in had become a new habit of his. Sometimes I liked it, other times it was frustrating. At least this time, I was in Black Shadow and not some random hotel.
From the dim light creeping in around the curtains, I could tell it was early. I had probably only been asleep for a couple of hours.
Yawning, I creep across the floor, trying to remember where the squeaky floorboards are as I tiptoe around them. I didn’t want to wake Mallory or Eric this early, not when they had stayed up with us to talk things through.
Silently making my way down the stairs, I almost miss the bottom step when I realise I could scent Silas. Peering around the corner, I see him sitting at the kitchen table, casually drinking coffee like he had been here his whole life.
‘Brax must believe him if he offered to go.’ Nyx sighs
“Why didn’t she believe you? You are mated. You have a child.” I demand
“So Damien thought it was a good idea to bring you here? To our home?”
He dips his head and then locks his crimson eyes on mine. “I’m sorry if you disagree,”
“What if Thalia…”
“She won’t.” He mutters before I get a chance to get my question out.
“You don’t know what I’m going to ask.”
“You think she is working with Serkan.” He stares at me.

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....
