“What’s happening?” Indy’s heart rate speeds up as her hands move along the wall, desperately patting for an exit.
“This is Thalia,” I growl. We are closed in on all sides. Plunging us into complete darkness that even I was struggling to see through. The only thing that is clear is Indy’s bright soul, though it is slowly being taken over by panic.
“I’m still here,” I add as I make my way toward her. “You are not alone.”
“We are trapped! How are you so calm?” I could tell she was trying hard not to break, but it was only a matter of time.
“You’ve told Orion. The others will be along to find us. The Witch Hunters, remember.” There is no point in panicking in a situation like this. All it leads to is more problems.
“One is stuck as a fucking Wolf!” Her hands slap the wall.
In some ways, she reminded me of Madison. Quick to panic when things no longer made sense.
“Indy, has Orion said anything?”
“No.” I watch her soul drift down the wall as she slumps to her ass. “I let her take Silas from me. I just stood there and watched him forget me like a curtain pulled down over his eyes. I didn’t try. I didn’t do anything. I’m never going to see him again, am I?”
“Yes, you are. I made a deal. I am getting you back to Silas. But you might have to dig deep and find those damn fucking Witch abilities of yours because these walls are fucking moving.”
“It’s not my imagination?” She whispers
“No.” It is so gradual that it’s barely noticeable, but it was still happening. Millimetres at a time. A way to mess with our heads, knowing that a slow death is coming. Thalia couldn’t even kill us herself, she had to squash us with some pathetic trick.
A cackle rips through the small room. “Little girl, you couldn’t just leave it alone, could you?”
Indy mumbles something against my hand, stopping when I use my hand to turn her head from side to side. I’m all for putting people down, however Thalia was on some kind of rant. Information can come from a rant.
Such as why she was calling Indy, ‘little girl’?
Thalia was at the most a few years older than Indy, that was it, but she spoke as though there was a large age gap between them.
"I will tell you this, they are all dead, every last one of them had their throat slit. Though I have to admit, their blood was rather delicious, like a fine wine."
A tear rolls down Indy's cheek and hits my hand. I already had an idea that being a half-breed was not something Indy was proud of. That it had probably been used all her life to hold her back. Though knowing that she did nothing more to help the prisoners has her rattled with guilt.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
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....
