The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 579
Klaus
‘Stop Klaus. Just stop for a moment.’ I could sense the concern in Xavi’s tone
‘I know.’ I mutter through our link. ‘I feel it. Something is off.’
‘Retrace our steps.’ He suggests.
Turning around, Orion is staring at us. He gestures forward.
I shake my head, “No, we need to go back. Something is not quite right.”
Orion quickly jabs his finger over my shoulder in the direction we had been walking as he makes a weird noise. His lack of tongue stops him from telling us what it is he wants. His deep blue eyes are wide and I see a hint of fear.
‘He can’t be in on this.’ Xavi mutters, ‘Can he?’
‘I don’t think he is. Look at his eyes. That’s fear.’
Orion looks behind him then tries to squeeze by, beckoning for us to follow.
“Is it Indy, is she in trouble?”
He frantically nodded at me and looked around, like he was searching for something, but there was nothing other than dimly lit, stone corridors. In the end, he bites his own finger until blood appears. He quickly writes on the wall ‘Thalia has them both. I have to find Indy.’
“Okay, we will. Brax will try his best to keep Indy safe.” I offer. I hoped he would, he had made it more than clear that Xavi wasn’t allowed to touch a hair on her head. I’m certain he is not going to just let her die.
‘What do you want to do?’ Xavi asks as he gazes at me.
‘I know you don’t like either of them, but Orion is right, we need to find them.’
He rubs his large white head against my leg. ‘Then we will find them. You know I will always help you.’
We quietly move through the labyrinth of corridors. There were never any doors or windows, or even steps, just solid stone walls that run in all directions with a few torches lighting the place up. Eventually we stumble upon Orion’s message that he had written in his own blood. We had somehow gone full circle without realising it.
We hadn’t been able to scent ourselves because of that potion we took.
‘What do you see?’ Xavi asks me as he stares at the darkness
‘Magic.’ I mutter. The darkness was not because the torches ended. They continued right the way down, yet a dark cloud filled the space. Confusing those that couldn’t see past it.
I move forwards, passing the stone steps. Orion lets out a gargled groan. I look back to see him ready to climb the steps but something was hidden down here. Something that only Xavi and I could see.
‘It probably looks like a wall to him.’ Xavi suggests
Locking my fingers around Orion’s wrist, I pull his protesting body through the thick cloud.
On the other side of the cloud are rusty bars, separating us from her. A small hole at the bottom just big enough to slide a plate of food through.
Curled up on the stone floor with a chain around her neck is a frail woman.
At a quick glance, I would have thought it was Samara, only this woman's blonde hair is waist length. Wrinkles on her forehead and the creases at the corner of her eyes give her age away.

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....
