The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 596
Klaus shakes his head at me as a warning not to push further.
I look out at the viscious sea, “She jumped?”
Amy’s grey eyes are bright as she nods. “I told her, jump.”
“It looks like we are jumping. If Eris could do it, so can we."
We take turns watching the sea, waiting for the tides to change, timing them. The sea here didn't resemble any other sea I had seen. Thalia probably had some sort of spell on it.
As the water level drops, revealing the bare, jagged rocks, it becomes obvious that there is only one specific place to land, and that’s if we are lucky enough not to be dragged out to sea or pushed into the rocks by the waves.
The other problem was that there were six of us, and we wouldn’t all be able to jump at once, making it even riskier.
“Can everyone swim?” Indy asks. Everyone nods, but we all look at Amy. No one knew anything about her, and she didn’t seem to be able to give a clear answer. Instead, she smiles and mutters, "big jump."
Indy grins at Amy, reassuring her by repeating the phrase as I turn to the barricaded door. The smell of burning wood and smoke seeps through the tiny gap under the door. Orion presses his hand to the door and immediately pulls it away.
“Fire,” Indy mutters what I already knew.
Thalia knew we would come here. Did she plan this? Did she want Amy to bring us here? Or was this what she expected? So she could block us in with no way out.
“We have to go now!”
“But the tide.” Indy protests as Klaus breaks a window.
“It won’t matter. We either burn from the fire or die from the impact. I know what I would prefer. But at least this way, there is a small chance of survival.”
I see Klaus pressing his forehead to Xavi’s. “See you on the other side.”
He climbs through the window, kicking out the remains of the broken glass. With one final glance back, he jumps. Xavi leaps up into the window, frantically searching for Klaus.

Just loving how you keep trying to block me swnovels...
Hi Taylor, I found your book by accident. I really enjoy your writing, but I must admit that there’s a little more sex than I am use to, most likely because of my age 😁. I was wondering if you have released them in ebook ? I have read some of your notes to your readers and I know that you have written other books but I can’t find them in ebook format. I live in Sweden and have enjoyed reading this story as the dark nights get longer and longer. I am looking forward to re-joining Dane and Neah’s story. Thank you for sharing your marvelous talent.

Why are you ignoring the DMCA the author sent?...
I'm so glad it's being posted here, I don't have the income to pay 250 in order to unlock all the chapters. However, whenever the physical book comes out, I'll be the first to buy them. I love the story, love the way it is written (typos and all) I just cannot pay all of that money, the app is ridiculously predatory....
book 2: Bonds that bind us...
I don’t see the name of the new book. Could you please resend it?...
