Brax
I cock a brow at her, “Have you seen the rocks below?”
“Yes.” She pivots around to Orion, who is standing at another window. “It’s what she said, okay. The tide isn’t always this low and…”
“If we don’t hit it perfectly, we die anyway.” I tut.
“I know what she said sounds insane." She stares at me with wide eyes. "Do we really have a lot of choice? The rest of the castle is surrounded by the people of White Cliffs. I don’t know what Thalia is capable of getting them to do, but I also don’t want to find out. We all know there is no way we are walking out the front door and surviving.”
“If we let her live…”
“She has a point,” Klaus interrupts. “If we leave any part of the castle that takes us out onto land, we are outnumbered. You said it yourself, Brax.” He moves over to the window and carefully opens it. The crashing waves echo around the room. I see what’s left of Amy’s soul light up at the sound. It was familiar to her, something she had heard every day and every night as she slept in this room.
“If we survive. We could go back to Black Shadow." Klaus continues, "We would have the numbers. Neah is there. We have the Lycans and Wolves. We could come up with a better plan than hiding in a castle, waiting for death.”
“If we do that, would Orion and I be welcome?” Indy asks quietly. “I do understand that we are not from there. I don’t know what it takes to become part of it. I just…” She trails off, looking over at Orion. “We want a home. And it’s where Silas is.”
It wasn’t a question I could answer. It wasn’t my decision, and I couldn’t guarantee that Dane or Neah would let her stay just because I said she was okay. Klaus is also reluctant to respond after the whole Eris situation.
Eris. I hadn’t thought about her for a while. She said she was from White Cliffs, though she didn’t know Silas. How is that possible, given Silas’s role within the pack?
“What’s that face?” Indy asks. “Do you think we won’t be allowed?”
"We can figure that out later," Klaus tells her.
“Different train of thought,” I mutter when she continues to stare at me.
"Just say it! Neah won't want us there, will she?"
“Everyone here knows Silas.” Indy lets out a heavy sigh. “If only he remembered everyone.”
“Cooper had her as a prisoner. He told her stories about an Alpha Silas.” Klaus mutters.
“She jumped. She jumped. Big waves.” Amy sings to herself as she fiddles with trinkets on a shelf.
“Amy,” Klaus catches her attention. “Did you know an Eris?”
She smiles and nods. “Trapped and escaped.” She points to the windows. “I said jump.”

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 ☺️...
