Xavi watches Indy. Absolute hatred in his amber eyes. He seems to be forgetting that she just saved his life. It may be the Blood Tie that is making me feel this way, but I am ready to rip his throat out if he so much as touches a hair on her head.
“She has the upper hand here. We need to get out.” I tell them
I glance at the woman on Orion’s shoulder. Her eyes are closed and a trickle of blood runs across her temple.
“He knocked her out turning a corner,” Klaus tells me. “She is fine or at least she will be.”
We continue to move through the stone corridors and up multiple levels of steps. There is never a window or another door, just more stone walls.
Indy suddenly stops, pressing her hands against a crack. She glances back at me. ‘I can try.’
I nod.
Xavi watches her. A hint of his sharp teeth on show. I block his path, glaring at him. He could try, but he will never succeed.
“Pack it in, the both of you. We just need to get out of this place!” Klaus snaps
The crack in the wall grows until the early morning light breaks through.
Pieces of the stone fall away, crashing down to the ground below, leaving a massive hole for all of us to look out.
We were at least four floors up, maybe even five. Below, the people of the pack stare up at us. Still and silent. Thalia moves between them, her dress dragging along the ground behind her, probably whispering some spell to them.
“How did she get outside so quickly?” Indy whispers
“She knows this place like the back of her hand,” Klaus mutters. “Secret doors, probably secret rooms. She wants to keep us here. Trap us forever.”
I lean out, it is a sheer drop and the chances of survival jumping from this height are unlikely.
“I don’t know Orion!” Indy snaps at him. “It’s new to me too!”
“This is not helping. We need to find a way out.” Klaus sighs
“And without all the fucking zombified assholes coming after us. I’m happy to kill, but even I can see we are well and truly outnumbered.”
Her head wobbles side to side. Her grey eyes widen as they focus. “Trapped.”
“She is not helpful.”
“You don’t know that!” Klaus frowns at me.
“Amy,” Indy whispers. “Do you remember me? It’s been a long time. You used to come and visit me, bringing me presents.”
There is a hint of recognition in her grey eyes as she smiles. “Baby girl.”
“It’s not Samara,” Klaus tells Amy. “I’m going to take you to meet her, but we need to get out of White Cliffs.”
Amy’s eyes flicker around the rest of us and she nods. “I can help.”

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....
Ooh and thanks to the website techs ☺️...
