The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 556
He follows me in through the small gate. I lead him straight to Raven. “Your sister.” I murmur. “My first mate as a Lycan.” I gesture to the headstone next to hers. It had no name and was merely here because he was a Black. “Jenson, your brother. Raven’s twin.”
He listens carefully as I tell him everything that happened to them. How she died for Jenson and how he took over her mind and killed her a second time.
“That’s impossible.”
“And yet we watched it happen. Then I watched her die.” I stare at Raven's grave. "There are things that are happening and we have no control over it. Things that seem to exist outside of what we know. And when you see and deal with a lot of unexpected shit, it makes you look at the bigger picture, it makes you look deeper. If things don’t add up, it’s likely because there is something else going on.”
“I couldn’t save Raven and she was my mate. I knew she was struggling but I didn’t know how bad it was. She kept that to herself, her Wolf blocked her off from me. She gave her life up for her brother. Her love for him was stronger than what it ever was for me.”
“Are you trying to compare yourself and Raven to me and Thalia?” He splutters
“No of course not. I’m trying to help you understand Danes point.”
He frowns and walks by me. Moving to the graves of his parents. “He called you his brother.”
“I am by oath.” I reply
“Why you?”
“You would have to ask him that. He asked, I accepted. Him and Neah are my family. Black Shadow is a family.” I don't mention that the weak were weeded out.
“He had another brother. He could have come to find me.” He suggests
“He could have, yes.” I agree. “But you have to remember that he didn’t know where you were and he thought you had been given to a family member. Not to a Kitson.”
“Technically it wasn’t a Kitson but Serkan ended up raising me in the end. If I can even call it that.”
“How did you learn of Dane?” I ask.
He still hadn’t made it clear even when Dottie was pestering him. She hadn’t given him a sticker yet, but she also hadn’t stressed out about him. I think she was still trying to figure him out.
“I was told when I was younger. Not much, but when I saw Neah at the restaurant and who she was with and how much we looked alike, well, it wasn’t hard to put it together."
"And you only introduced yourself to Neah?"
"Yes. She looked at him as though he was her saviour.”
I knew the look well. I could count on one hand how many times she had been angry with him. Their understanding of each other was on a different level.
He frowns at me. “That is more than one question. But I expect it's to lure me back.”
“Or?” I felt like I was trying to get a child to solve a problem. Even Dottie could figure this out.
“She got away.”
I was so close to smacking him across the head. “She’s refusing to talk to you Silas.”
“You sound just like Dane.” He snaps
He lowers his gaze. “If I believe you and all the others, that means she killed my son and I can’t… I won’t accept that. She would never do that!”
“Jarret, was he like you or her? Was he a Witch, a Wolf or something in between?”

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....
