‘Mentioned it like a warning?’
I nod
‘Most likely has a spell on it. We won’t know until we are up there.’ He heads in the direction of the path that will take us up to the top.
There was nothing to hide us from sight. Everything was open but Xavi continued anyway. The sounds of the water grow and it’s not long before I see the water coming from another larger cliff, opening up and blocking the castle and its walls from us.
Familiar clothes are abandoned on this side, but there is no sign of Brax anywhere.
Xavi doesn’t mention the clothes and moves closer to the river. He places a foot into the fast flowing river and quickly removes it.
‘It’s been a long time since I have seen anything like this.’
“Like what?” I ask as I study the walls. No one seemed to be watching us.
‘It’s a deterrent. No one can cross it. Actually, that is not entirely true.’ He moves along the river, putting his feet in at random intervals. ‘We just need to know the exact point that she crossed it.’
Xavi takes a step forward, and appears to be standing on top of the water.
‘I’m not sure what kind of spell this is,’ he moves forward carefully, ‘but I bet she wasn’t expecting Witch Hunters.’
“How are you doing that?” I demand
‘I’m not, it’s the same way as we can see that dark magic has been used. It leaves a trace. Faint, but still a trace, the others are unable to see it. Follow me foot for foot.’
As my foot hits the water a flash of light circles my boot and it’s only now that I can see the same around Xavi’s feet.
Our feet hit dry land and as I turn back to the river, I watch it flow over the edge, the water hitting the rocks below.
“How the hell did you do that?!”
I turn to see a woman with a hood pulled up over her head, golden eyes peeking out from underneath.
He copies the woman and runs over to the cliff edge. “Come on then you idiots!”
Rushing forwards, we do as he tells us and are ripped over the edge of the cliff and dragged back into a hole, completely out of sight.
“It’s okay.” I reassure Xavi, “Brax wanted us here to help.”
I point to Xavi. “Cursed by Thalia to live forever as a Wolf. I’m Klaus, a Witch Hunter. Now does someone want to tell me why we are in a hole in a cliff?”
“It’s a tunnel,” Indy whispers, lowering her hood to reveal shocking white hair that was almost as bright as Xavi’s fur. “It takes us to my house.”

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....
