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.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
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....
This is stolen and as such, a lot of my story is being left out/adjusted. The true version is on Inkitt...
OMG! This is stolen and the person who has uploaded it doesn't have the authors permission! It's disgusting tou can steal someone's hard earned work! Please come find the true author on FB Taylor west pack and this one will never be finished....
I love this book! It was a sample read for an advertised app that you must pay to keep reading. I wasn't willing to pay for each chapter, so I searched and found this site. Something I'd like to see more of is time passing. We had a little during Neah’s pregnancy, and there was a recent mention that Neah had been in the pack for two years; I didn't know that much time had passed. Until I heard it had been two years, I thought all the events were happening back to back. That's why it would be nice to have a sense of the passage of time—just a thought....
Is there an update when the next chapter will be available?...
Love the story how can I get the rest of it...
