The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 550
Tucking Neah into bed, she frowns at me but doesn’t quite look at me. “I’m okay.”
“No you are not.”
“I just need to sleep.” She tells me, closing her eyes.
*****
Six days of sitting by her bed in the hospital and she still hadn’t opened her eyes.
Beneath the surface, the girls are active and move like crazy, but Neah remains as still and as silent as the day I brought her in.
I had been alerted by Aero to go and check on her. I had walked in the bedrrom to find Neah coughing and spluttering as she gasped for breath. Fast asleep, she was choking on her own vomit.
The nurses had tested her for every possible thing they could think of, but everything came back fine. They couldn’t find a problem with anything in her body. It made it a hundred times more frustrating because there was nothing inside her that needed healing. Apart from being unresponsive, there was nothing else wrong with her.
I lean forward, resting my elbows on the bed and holding her hand between mine. I had tried linking her, tried searching her mind, but there is just silence. And everyday I beat myself up over it. Flickering between anger and guilt. I had done this by not telling her about Klaus. I had hurt her to the point that she was no longer functioning.
“Neah, you have to wake up.” I kiss the hand that I’m holding, desperate for a sign. Just like the other days, there is nothing. “The boys miss you. I miss you.”
A knock on the door pulls my attention away. Mallory comes in and hands me a coffee. “You need to keep your strength up.” She tells me
“The boys?”
“With Eric and Luca.” She tells me as she settles into the chair on the other side of Neah. “Evrin is a little more clingy than Logan, but he is okay. Eric is really good at keeping them entertained.”
“Thanks.” I murmur
“You know you don’t need to ask us. We will always help.”
“You were supposed to leave with the others.” I mutter
“You haven’t looked around your pack, have you Dane? None of us left. We all know what it could mean and yet we are ready to stand by you and Neah. All the children will be kept safe. Ryken has been working on something for the past week, in the basement of what’s going to be the new packhouse. Besides, Serkan hasn’t shown himself since that night.”
“That we know of.”
“Either way, we are not leaving. Your Wolves follow you. The Lycans follow her. Together, we make a strong team.”
She sits quietly, sipping on her coffee as I watch for any signs of Neah waking up.
“And?”
“Mallory?!”
“Hybrids.” She splutters and tries to hide behind her cup of coffee. “Something that is both a Wolf and a Lycan.”
“It has grown in the last week.” I confirm
“Like doubled in size. When she wakes up, she is going to be so confused.”
“I don’t think that Hybrids are a possibility.” I mutter
“You didn’t think Lycans were either.”

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....
